• 1:21
  Speaker 3: My husband gave me like a really amazing party. I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: a homebody. I don't like to really do a lot
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: of stuff, and I have a small group of friends.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: And at first it was supposed to be like forty people,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: and I thought that was a lot.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: And you thought forty people was a lot.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I come from I don't know if you
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: know this about me, but I come from the hip
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: hop world first, and I got so tired of partying
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: and so tired of I'm just over it. But eighty
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: two people showed up yeah to my party, and I
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: was walking around, like, who the hell are you? Did you?
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Like it was somebody. My daughter was like, I need
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: to calm down. I was like, no, I don't. I'm
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: sixty years old, damn it. Right. Party.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: By the way, they only bring you up your age
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: because you don't look at no like oh congratulations you
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: turned sixty.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you. I think you know what I think
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: it is. Also what a part of it is. I
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: was straight edge until I was twenty four years old
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and drink and smoke, only had coffee water. That was it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And I just think that it benefited me in the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: long run.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: Absolutely dead.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: You have an iconic career, you stay booked and busy
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: for years you've been, But how is that?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I just keep I just you know what it is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: It's like I love boxing and I believe in that
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: champion spirit, and anytime I got knocked down, I just
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I just rush it off. I'm like, okay, let's go,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like my life was hard
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: as a child, you know, not getting a roll, It's
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: not hard. That's just part of life and it's fine.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: And I also think it's because any other actors are listening,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: don't be afraid of audition. Don't think you're above it,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: because that's bullshit. Excuse me, I'm sorry, Okay, okay. And
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: because I was a choreographer and all the dancers that
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: didn't want to audition for me didn't get the job.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Like I had to see what you had you know
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: what I mean. It may be different. I know your
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: great da so, but it may not fit the video
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: that that I'm working for right now. So it's like that.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And also be on time, be professional, be courteous, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: be prepared. And so I think that that has offered
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: me longevity as well, you know, because people will say, Okay,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: she works really really hard, go ahead and hire her.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: What was your big acting break? I know everybody always
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: talk about you want to live in color, But what
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: was the acting break, Like, what was the role that
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: caused everything to.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Take off for you?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: What was my first role? It was the right thing, okay,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: but what really really set it off, in my opinion,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: was white Man Cancer.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And I fought hard for that one. I fought hard.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I was the only person of color in the casting
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: room and it was all just a sea of white
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: ladies and I was like, oh, dear God, and yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: but it's just like that, It's like, all right, it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: another championship round, let's go, let's go. And and man,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: did I have to talk myself down from the edge.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: It was. It was really tough. But yeah, I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that was the one that really did it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: How difficult was it back then? Because we all love
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: your accent.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: But back then, you know, when you're going into these rooms,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they might be like, well, who was this accent?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: You know? She said was to New York? Was that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: ever a problem?
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: All the time? All the time it was was a problem.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: And then I would bring up other actors. I was like,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you don't have a problem with this accent. She's French,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Why why you don't have a problem with her? But
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: this person is British. Why don't you have a problem
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: with hars You're racism showing. I'm like, yeah, I said it,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: you know, and that's who I just was, That's who
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I am, you know. And I would challenge them on
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: it and everything, and sometimes it didn't work out, but
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of times it did. And when I first
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: went into the industry, the backlash that I really got
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: was from the Latino community. You're telling me, shut up,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: sit down, stop rocking the boat. And I was like,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: rocking the boat. I was like, what are you talking about?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: All the struggles that you had and have done for me,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Let me relish in it, you know what I mean? Like,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: what are you talking about? Why aren't you celebrating the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: fruits of your struggle. Why in rock I don't want
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: to be in that boat, oh my own boat, you know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: And it was so that was really hurtful. That was
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: something I had to push through and it was just
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: it was just difficult, Like people don't understand how difficult
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: it was for me. But I just, like I said,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: I just kept focused and just kept pushing through, just
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: gowing up.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: And it's crazy because that you don't realize until you
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: get older, like you were kind of like the only
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: one back then, but you know, we didn't we didn't
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: realize that. We just saw you on TV and oh
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: that's Rosie Perez, But yeah, you were like the only
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: one back then.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I was the only one. I was the only one.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And it was hard also to fight against repeating performances
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: like I want you to do what you didn't do
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the right thing, No, I want to do that, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: then it was okay, I want you to do what
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: you did in White Man can't Jump. No, I don't
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: want to do that. And then it's like I get fearless.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: That was another oh my God, talked about. They made
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: me audition four times for that role and Fearless, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: it was a dramatic role. They didn't want me. They
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: wanted an Irish American woman, which was screwed up because
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: it was based on a real story and the real
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: character was Asian American, right, And so they were saying,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: we think that the interracial aspect between you and Jeff
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Bridges is a concern. So we actually were supposed to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: have a love scene in that movie, and they cut it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: They thought that the audience wouldn't be prepared for it,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: ready for it, but it was. It just was really
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: really hard, Like people don't understand. It was really really hard.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And I just kept you know, you want me to
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: audition four times. I'm gonna audition four times. I'm not
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: gonna let you see me sweat. I probably would go
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: home and cry about it, and then the phone would ring,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: they want you back. I'm there, I'm there, I'm gonna
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: get on the plane. I'm there. I'm there. Because I
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: really wanted it, you know, I really really really wanted it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: And then when Fearless came around, they were like, oh
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: my god, you could do something different. I said, I've
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: been doing something different. I've been doing something different. That's
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: your limitations that you're not able to see that I
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: have been doing something different. And throughout my career, every
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: single role that I've had, they always go, this is
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: such a different role for you, and I go, you
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: said that last time, an the other time before, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the other time before, and you know, it's just it
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: just is what it is. And I tell other people,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: whether they're you know, Latino or not, if they're if
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: they're a minority in this country, I was like, fight
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: for what you want. I mean, don't wait for your
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: seat at the table, you know what I mean, prepare
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: your own table.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I want to know way where you where you got
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to start from?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Right, because you just weren't an actress, you were a dancer, choreographer.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: What was the start to say this is what I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to do. What did you see that say, you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: know what, I want to be in that business? Because
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you could have did anything. You could have said, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: want to be an astronaut, I want to be a doctor,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I want to be an attorney. But you wanted to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: go into that. What got you into that and who
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: pushed you towards that?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Especially back then?
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Well, actually I was in college to become a marine biologist,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: so I was studying biocamp and then I meet the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: casting the talent scout for Soul Train didn't take it seriously.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I just thought it was fun until my father made
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: me quit. God Rest his Soul. And then when I
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: met Little Silas Junior, god Rest is Soul. He was
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: an all guy at MCA Records, and he said he
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: came a sultiant and he goes, why aren't you and
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: something like that on the camera. I said, don Cornelist
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't like it. He goes, what's that? That's hip hop? Right? So, yeah,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: that's hip hop. He says, I want you to teach
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: that to an artist I have. He's going to leave
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: this boy band. I said, who is it? Because I'm
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: not going to tell you. Just show up and I said, well,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not a choreographer. He goes, I'll pay you sixteen
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: hundred a day. I said, I'll see you Monday, right,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: And so when I got there, I didn't know I
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: was supposed to show him a routine. I made up
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the whole thing on the spot, right, And it was
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: pretty bad when I made up and everything. And that
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: was Bobby Brown. So it was my first still. I
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: went back to school and it wasn't until Spike Lee
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: came into my life.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But what video was it for Bobby Brown?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: So we could go back and look, I did two
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: videos was don't be cruel and my prerogative. I'm the
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: one that heart and soul for him.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: And and then when he every little step I take,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: he didn't hire me, and I was heart proged. But
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: he hired Heart and so on, and I was happy
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: for them, and and I had to I told him.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I called him up. I was like, y'all killed it, man,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I hate to say it. And it became his most
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: iconic video.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Those guys had a Spike Lee. You said you met
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Spike Lee? How did you meet Spike Lee?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I met him in a nightclub and we got in
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: an argument and he said this is fate. And I
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: thought he was trying to hit on me, and I
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: was like, you wish and he just kind of stopped
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: cracking up, and he was like, no, no, no, I'm
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a director, film director. And I was like what it
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: was my girlfriend, my college buddy, Mary Wade. I went
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: to throw out the his business card and she went
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: in the garbage and took it out. She goes, are
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: you stupid? Just give him a call. And then he
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: asked me to audition for Do the Right Thing, and
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I did it. And then after we filmed it, I
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: went back to school. I'm thinking whatever. And it wasn't
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: until I went to the premiere and I saw the
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: magic all come together and that was it. I remember
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: sitting I don't think I've had said this to anybody.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I was sitting in the in the theater. Here's we're
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: going down And one of my half sisters thought it
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: was because of the nudity, and it wasn't. It was
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: just like, my life has to change. This is what
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I want to do. And that was it. That was
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: a turning point, the.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: Most classic scene, one of the most classic scenes in
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: black cinema history. Though there wasn't nothing to cry over.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I had a lot of us doing that ice cube move,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of us doing the ice cube move because.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And what did your parents say when they when they
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: seen that, and you were going college, you were going
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: to be a marine biologist, and now you were doing
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: something that at the time, I would say most parents,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: especially in our community, did not understand in the black
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: and brown community like that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: My father was very upset. He was very upset. He
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: was very upset with me on soul train and that's
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: the reason why I stopped dancing. He was like, no,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know who you are coming down that line.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: And I was, oh my god, and I quit and
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: everybody was like, why are you quitting? I said, my
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: father told me to quit, and being in California, they
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: didn't understand that. They didn't understand the culture. And I
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: was like, my father told me to quit. I have
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: to quit.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: How old are you?
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I think I was nineteen twenty. And then when I
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: did do the right thing, I called up my god
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: and I said, I just want to tell you it's
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: an artistic film. He goes, okay, and I said okay,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: and I thought he understood. And he had a viewing
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: party in Puerto Rico and invited the whole entire town Jesus,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: and they said that he went into cardiac did and died.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: He he was like grab they were telling me.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh. And I called him

• 14:16
  Speaker 3: say my favorite was Diana Ross. She didn't show up
• 14:20

• 15:16
  Speaker 1: You know, how difficult was it being a woman? You know,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: in the industry coming up back then? You know, we
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: hear about so many different stories of men trying to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: take advances and so many different things.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Was that is difficult for you as well?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: What was the hardest point? Was one thing that you remember?
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: You would like I just remember this moment to this day,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and I wish that on no other woman.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: It was a person, and everyone wants me to say
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: his name, but I'm like, his life is shit now,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: So it's okay. He got his come up and sp
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: went to an audition and people are like, well, why
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: did you go to so and Soul's hotel room? That's
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: what they used to do. Like even for Fearless, I
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: met the casting director and the director Peter Weir in
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: a hotel room, and you auditioned for them. And so
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: this one individual wanted me to meet with him. And
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: my first thing was like, why is it so late
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: at night? I don't feel comfortable. Oh no, no, no,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. When I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: went there, he starts rubbing my shoulders and I said, well,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: are you rubbing my shoulders. He said, you're oh so tight,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: you need a relax And I said, okay, but you
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: don't have to rub my shoulders please, And he goes,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: you know what, your career is not going to go far.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: And I said, why is that. He goes, you don't
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: even want me to give you a massage. I said,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I thought this was an audition. I don't need a massage,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: and he goes, We're done. Wow, you know, like somebody else,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: a different young woman who is not as strong when
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I've probably caved, you know, people like try to blame
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: that type of woman. That's not the woman's fault. It's
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: that asshole's form, you know. But it has happened to me,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: you know, especially in the music industry. Music industry was
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: really tough. The missogyny was enorm and I had to
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: fight against it all the time, all the time. And
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: god forbid, if you actually like somebody in the music
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: industry and you wanted to go out with them, then
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: you would label the whore like these. Meanwhile, all the
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: men are screwing everything that walks, and so it was
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: really hard.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: It was very very difficult, you know, but I developed
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: a reputation and it was to my benefit. You know.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: They're like, oh my gosh, she's such a bit and
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I was like, yes, i am, so don't try it,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: you know, but it was it was hard, It was
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: very difficult.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You feel like you opened the door for a lot
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of people, like let's say, like a Jennifer Lopez and
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: dancers and actresses, especially Latino that came in after you.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you were the one that opened
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: that door.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: For I don't know if I opened the door for people.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I will say this, I stood my ground and paid
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: a heavy price for it at times, and I'm glad
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I did it. If it benefited somebody, I'm very happy
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: about that. You know, there was others before me that
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: you know, open doors like you know, you because someone
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: like Cheeta Rivera or Rita Morano, Raul Julia, Raul Julia
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: got rest his soul. He was the only Latino actor
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: that supported me when I first came out. And I
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: remember I went up to him and he was at
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: an award show and he says, I like you, You're good,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: and I said, oh my gosh, I said thank you
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: so much. He goes, don't let anyone tell you different.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: And you know, what don't lose the accent, screw them all?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: And I said, wow, like I just couldn't believe it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And his wife goes, he really likes what you do.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: And I went back over to him and I went,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: mister Julia. He goes, Raoul, and I go, Raoul, you
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: really think I'm good? And he said yeah, and he says,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and you gotta think you're good, because nobody else will
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: think you're good if you don't think you're good. He says,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: we'll remember that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I was always surprised that you that they I don't
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: say they didn't force you, but they never tried to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: change you as far as your accent is concerned.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Right, some roles, some roles, and you know what's some
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: you know what's so funny about that, Like some roles,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I won't have an accent. And because they asked, I'm
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: all right if if it's not relevant to the character,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: I'll say no. You know, we need all space on
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: the screen too, you know. But the times that I
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: wouldn't do in my accent, people online would actually complained,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: oh she's trying to be right now, I'm like, I
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: can't win, you know what I mean. And it's just like,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: it is what it is.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: You know, it is what it is.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: But was there ever a role that that you went
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: out for that you didn't get that you really wanted?
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, a lot.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: When was the Matrix? I had the worst audition of
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: my life. They laughed me out of the role. I
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: don't even want to tell you because it was such
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: a humiliation. It was terrible. It was terrible. I swear
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: to god, I don't even want to all. But it's
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: funny because the cast is directed us, like I know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I didn't get. She goes she's walking me out of
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: the room and the two brothers they're looking at me.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: That was great. I said, no, one, stop lying, stop lying,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: and then they start laughing. And then I was like, anyway, bye,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: and she's still laughing. And when I closed the door,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I hear it was. It was terrible. It was. It
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: was terrible. That's when I went over to my best
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: friend Pie at Julie's house. It was waiting, Yeah, eleven
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: thirty in the morning with a join and a glass
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: of wine. Yeah, that was one. Another one was I
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: forgot the name of the movie, but Drew Barrymore got it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I wanted so badly but yeah, I didn't audition for
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: that one. They were going to meet with me, but
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: then they said, oh, we've already made a decision, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I said, oh man. And but I couldn't hate on
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: her because she was so good in it too, you know.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So yeah, so there were a.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: Couple talk to us about before the new Apple TV
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: series What is that about?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Oh? That is really it's it's a psychological thriller. It's
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: really kind of creepy. The kid in it is really fantastic.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Billy Cristo is amazing in it. Home Caster is Judith Light,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Hope Davis all the way down, Robert Townsend, Oh wow, Yeah,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: he's great in it. But it's about a man who
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: recently experienced the death of his wife and he's in
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: denial of it and he's not grieving properly. And then
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: he meets this boy. This boy just shows upbout his
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: house and he doesn't understand why this boy is gravitating
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: to him. And I play the boy's forster mother and
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: h and he's very he's a very troubled young kid.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: And so what the real theme is about the show
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: is about is that if you don't get past your past,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: it will come back and haunt you. And so in
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: this move in this TV series, it really is haunting
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the things that he won't deal with. And it's also
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: about past lives, like sometimes if you don't deal with
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: your trauma, you'll come back to this earth maybe as
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: another person or another being, but that trauma will come
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: and double itself until you deal with it. So that's
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: not really what the series is about.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Was this role of challenge at all was a big
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: very different from.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah it is, and it was it was I didn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: want it at first, and Billy was like, oh no,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I got you, don't worry about it, and he was
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: very supportive. But I gained twenty over twenty pounds during shooting.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: You know. Every time it just got too difficult, I
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: would go over to the craft service and go on, you know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: and war Trump was like, it's press. They had to
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: take my costumes out a couple of times. A couple
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: of times they had to like throw away costumes like
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I thought I was wearing that, you don't fit in
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: that anymore? Oh my god, you know. So it was
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: it was hard, and my husband went through it, you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: come home and just I just wouldn't want to talk
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and just want to go to bed and put the
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: covers over my head, you know, and stuff like that.
• 23:06

• 28:14
  Speaker 3: First I thought it was Keky and Mike, Kiki Tyson
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: and Mike Tyson who daily And I said, Kiki, did
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: you do this? She would no, I don't even know
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: about it. So it was Netflix, MVP and and the
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: executive producers of the event. They're the ones that came
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: up with the idea. And I was in shock. And
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: at first I was just supposed to be a co
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: host with Kat Kate Kate abdul Scott now and I
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: was excited, just for that, because I totally respect this woman.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: She is so respected in the sports world. You know,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: she also does soccer what they called football over there
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: and everything, and she does really well, very very fine
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: job with boxing as well. And then they came back
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: and they said, you know what, weaned our mind. We
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: want you to do color commentary. And I went, no, no, no, no, no,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: you should leave that to the professionals. And they said,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: we just want the voice that you have on Twitter,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the voice that you have when you are hanging out
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: with boxing people. That's what we want from you. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: so we did a test run and it was me
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Morrow Nalo and Roy Jones Junior, and we watched the
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: fight with the sound off as if we were gonna
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: do it. And I was so nervous at first, and
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: then as it was going on and on, I'm getting
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: so into it and I'm cracking jokes and I'm like, yo,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: did you see that shot? Oh my god, with the
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: left just down. And so when it was over, I thought,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: they're not going to hire me for this, and my manager, Tark,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: was like, we'll hear from them probably on Monday, and
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: he went thing, he went, oh shit, they just hired you.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: For it. I was like, oh my god, so the
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: pressure is.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: On, but definitely congratulations. That's amazing.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to hear your voice just commentating on
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: a fight.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: That's going to be so good for me.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I love the voice going on.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I just hope I just stay with the fun. You
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: know what they were telling me. The executive producers are
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: from HBO Boxing, HBO Boxing After Dogs, So I actually
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: know those guys. And what I really love about the
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: boxing world, they tell you straight. They don't sugar cold,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: they don't you know, hamp for you. He's like, uh,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: you know, we're doing more rehearsals. He goes, okay, Rose,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: don't don't do it like that now, don't you know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: And so it's like, thank you, I appreciate it. I
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: appreciate it, you know. So I'm very excited about it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I'm ecstatic about it actually. And I got to be
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: in the fighters meeting for the first time in my life.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: That's that was a dream. And fighters meeting is that
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: before the fights, you interview the boxers and you get to.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Ask some questions right before the day of the fight.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, this is a week before we all
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: had it, and you know, so being on the on
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: there with Mario Barrios and Katie Taylor, Amanda Surroundo, Jake Paul,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson. Well, actually I missed the one with Jake
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Paul because I had to do the Fallon show. But
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: andre Ward I said, make sure you ask him this
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: question for me. And so when I saw the playback
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: he did, he goes Roseby Prez said she has she
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: wants me to ask you this, and he was like,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: oh cool, that's what's up. You know. So and you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: and I know a lot of people give Jake Paul
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of crap. I just I used to too.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I used to give him a lot of crop, like
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: what is he doing? This is a dangerous sport. You
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: don't play boxing, you know, And I don't want him
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to get hurt. And people were, you know, downing him
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: and stuff. But what he did for boxing, what he
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: did for Amanda surround On My Girl and Katie Taylor
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: and got them paid things that promoters and networks that
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: could never happen for women. He goes, really, let me
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: show you how to do it, and he did it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: He did it, and after the Amanda Surrounded On Katie
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Taylor fight, we will leave in the stadium. And I
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: was really a sex because I thought Amanda won that fight.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: And I saw Jake coming down the hallway and he
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: had tears in his heart because it's fight a loss,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and I went, you're really true blue boxing? Yeah, man,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: and I and I and he went like this, and
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: I shook his hand and I said, I respect you, sir,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: and this is that means a lot to me. I said,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: you mean a lot to box, and I respect you.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: You really did it, You really put your your money
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: where your mouth was, and and good ship. So it
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: was good. It was good.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: So who's your favorite in the fight? Who do you
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: want to win? Can you say? Or now that you're
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: a commentation.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Because you you know, because of course you came you
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: come from the age of Mike Tyson, right, so I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: would just have to say, you leaning, you're not gonna
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: say it, but you've seen the Tyson fights. You've seen
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: him knock people out in the streets. So it's almost
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: like you want to see Mike just one good time.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, let.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: Me try, let me try and get something, all right.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: You gotta tell us who you want to win or
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: the ramper that you dated, Yeah, you had a third one.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: I know I'm not saying it all right, cool, I
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: try to try to step you up.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I could give my opinions on the fight
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: as opposed to who I want to win. So with
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, I think it's gonna be
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: it could go either way, honestly, because Jake has his youth,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: so there's that stamina that he has an advantage of.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: He's been more active. That's a big asset in boxing.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: You have to stay active. But the latest videos from
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Mike Tyson on social media, You're like, what that is
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: not the Mike Tyson who even went up against what
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: was it four or five years ago against Roy Jones
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Junior in an exhibition fight. Right, So this is a
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: two eight fight, two minute, eight round fight, and if
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: he's looking that good, I think Jake Paul should take
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: it very seriously. And in the fighters meeting he said
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: he is taking it seriously. He's not. He believes he
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: could win. He has that champion belief. But Tyson interviewing him,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: it was eerie. It was eerie because he was not
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: messing around. He was all business. Because I know Mike
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Mike is goofy, and he's funny, and he's emotional and
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: this he had boom in fight mode zone I'm not playing,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: And I said, wow, everybody on the fighters meeting, we
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: were all like and even the guy the executives, anybody
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: else has another question. They were good. So that's why
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, Wow, Okay, this is gonna be a really
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: good one.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: You know, what are the rules? Just so you know
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: before you get about here are the rules change?
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Because we heard that the gloves are gonna be bigger,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: and at one time we heard that they're gonna be
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: wearing a face mask, but that's not true. So are
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: there any rules outside of the normal boxing thing that
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: people should be looking forward to besides the too.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Many eight rounds?
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: No, I think it's and the bigger gloves.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: What I think is it's gonna be a real fight.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: And I think it was really smart of MVP Promotions
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: and Netflix to have legitimate boxing matches on that card.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: It's not just no disrespect, not just a bunch of
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: YouTubers or boxers or UFC fighters past their prime. You
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: have Mario Burials fighting. He is a real champion and
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: a real contender and he does not play that man
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: is people spect him. He's a warrior. And then you
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: have Amanda Sorranto Katie Taylor too. Something boxing fans have
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: been waiting for forever for these two hopping because it
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: was supposed to hopping and then the things fell through.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: So I think that it's gonna do well. I thought
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: it was a very very smart thing for those two
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: companies to put on because boxing fans are going to
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: watch it because of those two and Mike Tyson, of course,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And the world is gonna
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: watch it because of Mike Tyson. You know. Yes, Jake
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Paul is going to bring a younger crowd and he
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: always does. That's why he feels the stadium and everything
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: like that. But worldwide, people of a certain age, they're
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: tuning in for Mike Tyson.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
