I remember, because you make your first communion, when youre seven. Yeah. And thats when you get to wear a petticoat. I remember that. Isnt that funny, how certain things yeah. Thats thethe age of reason, you know. The age of reason . From that point on, youre responsible for whatever comes down. I thought it was 65. The age of reason. [ laughter ] i was looking forward to that. [ laughter ] no, theres been somebody keeping tabs on you, whered you spend your childhood . Where . In new jersey. Yeah . Yeah. Yeah. Andand then, i mean, i really think i had my childhood, since i been an actor. Well theyre interchangeable, arent they . They the David Merritt keeps saying that all actors i guess means meaning actresses and actors are children at heart. You really well. Theyre children at heart, because they take chances, and they pretend, andand, uh, things like that. But i dont go along with the idea that they have to be childish. I dont yeah. Really like the confusion between being temperamental yeah, theres a myth that, uh yeah. Extremely creative people have to be or genius have to be disturbed, in some way. Yeah, andand its encouraged, in the business. I mean, the more trouble you are, the more attention you get. So. Pays off, i guess, for publicity. Not just publicity, but on a set. You know, if theyre worried about if youre gonna show up yeah. If youre gonna w then, they pay a lot of attention to you. The people that are pros have the tendency to be waiting around, while the other ones how are you, on a set, now . Are you im c im perfect [ laughter ] no, im a pro. Show up and i mean, theres t fe through all of that. I mean, i have enough problems, ya know, offstage, without bein a problem, onstage. What i think i was referring to, when i said about actors being uh, or entertainers being children ii meant that in a positive sense. Mmmhmm. The curiosity of a child. Yeah i mean, you never stop questioning and the vulnerability and andand being silly and yeah uh andand acting like a child, at times. Theres nothing wrong with that. No. I get confused, when i work with children, because they seem more grownup than i am. Well, did you see the young man yes. Here, a while ago . Mmmhmm. Yeah. I mean, very s now, at 11 years old i was tryna remember 11. When i was in the fifth a professional actor, until he played in the champ. Mmm. He had never done a motion picture, before. And it hasnt seemed no, he seems have phased him, at all, and i would just get confused, because i dunno what you draw you know, itsits so confusing, anyway thethe line between reality and fantasy and yeah. And whatever. Andand, when youre a kid and, uh i dont know. Yeah. I dont think id iii well, people always say, would ya like to go back and do it all over, again . Oh, god, no. Why . Werent y wasnt it a happy childhood . Or were you confused . Well, i dunno my mom. Um theres nothing wrong. I mean, this is not ya know, you dont have to beat up your parents no, but to say you were unhappy or happy. Its a its tough to be a kid, now, dont you think . Its much harder. I mean, in those days, things were even slower. Way back then. Well, when we were around, there werent many kids. Thats right [ laughter ] just the two of us just a few ki couple o kids. Uh no, i dont think id want to do that. No, i think its i like it now. I like where i am now, and when you walked out, for a moment, i almost did not recognize you. I know. cause you its a shocker, huh . Mmmhmm. Well, you see, women you see, they you cut your hair very short. You come up to somebody and say, hi. How are ya . And youyou dont any particular reason . Was this for a picture, or no. Ii dont now if this happens to you, but i just suddenly got the feeling that ii was in some kind of a trance. I mean, the habit of my life, or something i just needed to do something to shock myself out of it. Really . And other than becoming lefthanded. [ chuckling ] this was kind of real ritualistic you mean, you just wanted so, i did it, and i thought, god, thats really great. You did that. And then, the next morning, i woke up, and i had a total identity crisis in other words, you just i feel like i dont have you know, im missing one prop, or something. And then, i went out, and, um, i went to the local five and 10, or something, and someone came up to me and said, what did you do . And i thought, at first, that they didnt you know, they had mistaken me for someone else, but they hadnt. They were furious with me, for cutting my hair. Just furious and it happened about four other times. A man, i might add, every time. Hmm. And, uh so, it really well, its your hair. You can do what you want to, with it. I know, but ii suppose people see you a certain way, you know, and you have a uh, these people werewere very offended that i, in some way, had, uh thats strange. Damaged my sexuality or something. No, you havent done that. No, no. [ chuckling ] no, no, no. [ laughter ] oh, no. No, that didnt happen. You c you could wear that on the inside your head. [ laughter ] well, thank you. That not damage your sexuality. But it is strange sexuality, you know . I mean, it is what makes the world go round, but i dont really understand it. Yeah. Who does . Thank god nobody. Nobody knows. Its another mystery of life. And well explore that mystery what a transition, folks [ laughter ] [ music ] [ applause ] we are back. [ cheering ] we were just talking you, uh you spent a little time in greece, filming. Mmm. And enjoyed it. I loved it. I mean but thats another thing, that kind of going to a strange country. I mean, theres somethingsomething built into thethe way that you live that prevents you from feeling too alive, i guess, so that youre not too aware of death, and, when you go to aa foreign country, it shakes up all of your points of reference, so that you mmm. Youre so aware of different rhythms and different priorities and and i adored greece. The people there and, uh i mean, when men look at you, and you look at them, they dont look away. [ chuckling ] they just stare at you. Yeah. And then, the light is very different. And the way that they if you go to a taverna, you know, its someones business, and they really right. Theres no menu. You have to trust them. They i it was great. And i was with john cassavetes, whos greek, and he i mean does he speak greek . Because yes greek is not an easy language to speak no, he does. And theres not a one word that i can understand, uh, in greek, at all. But its a i was there, this summer, in the greek islands. It was wonderful. But it forces you to speak with your whole body and to really connect with people, in a way that you dont connect yeah. When youre out in the street. I get the feeling, from what youve said but the hairdo and traveling to greece, that you, uh you dont like to get in a rut. You want to step out, sometime. That you everythings kinda programmed, for you, you feel. Its not a program ii just think theres something that happens. I dunno if its its not just affluence. I mean, unless youre really fighting yeah. For survival, day by day, you get lulled into a kind of trance, about things. Youre not really here. You dont really see people. You kind of start doing things, by habit. And that terrifies me. It just terrifies me. All right. We shall return, [ music ] [ applause ] were just about outta time. Is that a real flower . It sure is. Hey, thats real nice. Its a gardenia. Keep it. What . Keep it. Aw. Itll be just like the prom. Really . [ hooting ] yeah. Trick is to get home, before it turns brown, and get it in the refrigerator. [ laughter ] [ applause ] [ cheering ] good morning, fay. Good morning. You seem upset. Is everything okay . Well, every few years my friends from Stewardess School get together for a reunion. This year, were holding it on the island. That doesnt seem so bad. I know, but im on my own i dont have a husband. I just wish i had something to lord over them. Oh. You mean like some old man with a little bow tie to make a fuss over you . No. I mean like some buff young stud who cant keep his hands off me. Ill do it. Youll do what . Ill be your hunka hunka burnin love. Someone your a would go out with a young guy like lowell. No. I mean i just feel silly going through some charade. Although my friend myra would turn green. Oh, lets do it. Good. All right. In order for your friends to believe were really a couple theres some intimate details we need to know about each other. For instance, um. Are those your real teeth . It is freezing outside and in the dead of winter too. How unseasonable. Now, that was just sarcasm for no good reason, wasnt it . Im sorry. Can i get you something hot to drink . Oh, no, its two degrees. sarcastically oh, right, helen. Im sure thats exactly what it is. Uh, listen, ive got an announcement.
