  Speaker 1: and they were like, b K. Everyone called me b K.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You know there's this new show. Um I think I

  Speaker 1: you know, working on it was. It was cool, just
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: trying to get all those It's like, I think it's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: harder to be a co star than actually have like
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a larger part on the show, as you know, because
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you're just so used to it. You know, everybody you're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: coming in as a co star and you're just like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: oh my god, don't screw this up. Everybody's got this
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so wired. Totally agree. So how did you get started?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: How did you get started with your acting career. I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: went to Loyola Marymount. I graduated in the eighties. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was a business major. My now husband was my theater
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: school roommates girlfriend. So my roommate again was in the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: theater school. She was dating my husband. I was about
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to graduate from Loyola, and my husband back then wasn't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: my husband, but he was in the theater school. He
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: wanted to direct non actors. He was like, I'm just
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: kind of sick of all the actors and all their
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: bags of tricks and this and that. I want to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: work with somebody, you know. He had this vision of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like that they don't know anything, and I'm going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: teach them and try to keep them real and all
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I didn't know what I was
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: getting into, and I said, sure, yeah, this sounds fun.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So he cast me in a two person play with
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: another guy who was a stage hand at Loyal, who
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: also had never done any acting, and um, So it
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: then came to me graduating and all the business school,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you know, all the companies come. You're supposed to go
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and interview and get your business job, and I was
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: just thinking, I just can't do it. This is not me.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So I then went to cal Arts. Um, I got
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: my masters in theater there. It was so much fun,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and I think in graduated. You know, I've had a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: great run. I've always had tons of other jobs. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: never put my eggs in one basket. It's kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: how I was brought up. So I've had a great
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: one run with commercials, done a lot of TV stuff,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: movies here and there. Gary Marshall put me in for
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: his movies. You know. Gilmore Girls was so great. You
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: know you did those checks even today, like a hundred
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: bucks Gilmore Girls and stuff like. Yeah. So, had you've
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: already been watching the show of before your first appearance
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in season two? Did you? Were you aware of not
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a huge TV watcher, and still to this day I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not a huge TV watcher, so I went back and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: watched it last night, and so many people and obviously
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: how it's had a you know, uh, just a whole redo,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and now younger people have got onto the Gilmer Girls train.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So I'll just be at some of my you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: one of my jobs is a tech job right now.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: In these twenty some things. Oh my god, it's the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: cutest thing. So I went I've watched them over the years,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: of course, but I want I was like, I just
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: want to watch it last night, so thanks for having
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: it made me and watching and it was it's so good,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and I'm just like, yeah, I get it. I see
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: why this is a cult classic. And I was just thinking,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you guys learned your lines. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: have a question for you, but how did you guys
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: do it? Scott Um, I don't there are so many lines,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: especially the mom and the daughter. Obviously, honestly, I just
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I'd had a little uh training and a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: little experience with Shakespeare so that there's nothing really is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: daunting after that, you know, I mean, if you can
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: memorize like I memorize Hamlet in a couple of weeks,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, but because it made sense
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to me, it was and I was as intimidated as
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: anybody else, Don't get me wrong. I was like, good Lord,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: how the hell am I ever going to do this? Um?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But once you start, it becomes easier because of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: emotional logic of the writing. If the writing is good,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's it's not like your memorizing words. You're memorizing emotions.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You're memorizing scenarios, You're memorizing other people. So it's it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: just got easier the more I did it. So you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: this was not difficult. It really wasn't difficult. And I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: don't think it was terribly difficult for Laura either, because
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think she has a photographic memory, must because like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: she didn't miss it brings. Yeah, I mean the Shakespeare
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: right there. I have that training too, and I've done
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: tons of Shakespeare, and I love Shakespeare. And the only
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: way you can really learn Shakespeare, like you're saying, Scott,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is you you have to think about. You can't just
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: be like by rote memorizing lines in an order. The
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: iambic pentameter, though, completely help when you're memorizing con coo,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: don't so that helps a lot, but you have to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: think of it more like emotions and I'm really in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a dialogue and what do I want from this person
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and then it becomes like a story.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not just these random words that you're
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: shoving together in your right. It has nothing to do
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, it's it's really just being in the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: scene and and expressing what you have to express. It's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it's there's there's no other choice but to say these things.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And that's easy to remember. I mean if you have
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: like an affinity for it and the story strikes you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: on on a deep level, and and it always did.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I mean it was just like devastating for me to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: read that play. Um So anyway, um so, what do
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you remember of your time on Gilmore Girls? Give us
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: some of your your top what are your top three
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: memories of working on that show? Okay, the top three memories?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Um what did you remember? What did you did? You
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: feed you? I fed you well as a young actor,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: but I was thirty eight when I did that. I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: looked back and I literally thought I looked like I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: was fourteen, But I was almost fourty years old when
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I did that. And you know, you're a working actor
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and you're just like they're feeding you. Someone's coming over
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and asking you what you want for breck and that's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: amazing and that that was a beautiful and I always, um,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I just I also thought that set, that crew everyone
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was just cool. They were just good. You know, I've
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: been on when you're doing like guest stars and co stars,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you go on so many different sets and some of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: them are like, yeah, you get like maybe a vibe.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I'm very much like an Ari's oldest child of nine,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so I'm pretty much like no one's gonna talk to me.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just going straight up to people anyways. It's just
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: kind of how I'm built. But you didn't have to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: do that on that set, so and which is why
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to like coming back five times and people would all, hey,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you know, Amy just so cool and everybody like it's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: so great to have you back, and like is it
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: weird that I'm this teacher now They're like, note makes
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: total sense. So you know, even like trying to talk
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: myself out of a job, and um, but just good people,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: good food. And I do remember. I think it just
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: helped me so much to uh, like what you were saying,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: really think about what you're saying, even you just have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like a mouthful in that little scene where I'm telling people, Okay,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: your last midterm and everyone's going to go to college,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: don't worry, and someone I know has been accepted to Harvard, etcetera.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: So just spitting out a whole bunch of lines when
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: everyone staring at you, there's the boom, there's a camera,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: it's like, don't screw this up. Co starring, just like
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: shoot it and move. But I probably did stumble and
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: everybody was probably super cool about it. So I just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: came out of there with like a great vibe about everybody.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Do you remember what subject you taught at Chilton? Did
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they tell you? Do you know? Well? I know because
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I was watching that one. Well. When I was the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: yearbook coordinator or the debate coach, those were obvious what
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I was doing. But for this I looked to my
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: husband and like, what was I teaching? So I would
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: think last night, I probably I am sure I did
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: all my homework and like came up with a full
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: backstory for myself, right, Scott, I was just like just line,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But don't I think I was probably some kind of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a literature teacher definitely, because we're talking. You know, that's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: usually who you would work on, like with your college
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: essays and stuff like that. Yeah, and then I remember
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: another episode actually this is not this episode, but you
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: know Dacian Matthews, um and being a theater actor, right,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: we know who Dagon Matthews is. Like even way before this,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, because he was a principle,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I guess, And there was like some kind of a flashback,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: but that's for another episode. I'll come back and I'll
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: dress like um, but I bet it was literature definitely
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: something English. So what was your experience like filming with
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: those children girls? And I think you know who I'm
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, I was super impressed, like she just
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: had to have She wasn't in that scene. She was
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in another episode of probably Yearbook one where I actually
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: got to have a little gut down with her. Now, Paris,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you know, slow down, watch what you're doing whatever, but
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: all those girls, um, Rory Alexis is her first thing, right,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But again I was just so how old were they? Probably?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I mean at that time I had eighteen, right, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: think I think Alexis at that time. Season two was nineteen. Yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: they were also sweet. She was a sweetheart, every one
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of them. Because you're right, there was a whole bunch
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of girls sitting in that classroom and they were they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: were just so on it, so on, it had all
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of their lines memorized, such professionals. Again, just raising the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: bar for me seeing like we're just going in, we're
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shooting this, we're out, and they obviously were moving so fast.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And they let me hang around too, because I love
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: watching other people doing their stuff and even hanging around
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: when I'm done, and people were very cool about letting
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: me do that. But I was definitely like the professionalism
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: and just really authentic, genuine people. Nobody I felt like
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I had a big head about this or that. You know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: we're not doing brain surgery here, just gonna trying to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: people laugh on TV and also feel the fields and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. So now, so now that Netflix has
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: uh uh done their thing two thousand and sixteen, new
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: generation of fans have emerged. Obviously, do you get recognized
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: by any of them? Now? These this new wave of fans, Well,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it's so interesting because it work. I think someone told
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: someone and then they kind of piece it together. But
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not in costco getting recognized. For sure. If someone
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: walked up to me, you know, I'm just like, were
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you the Literature Teacher season three? You know I would
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: actually give them a giant hug and be so how
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: perceptive they are once or maybe twice, you know, you,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you've got a lot of them where you'd
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: get the eight by ten envelopes and Manila's with the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: pictures in there, and they want you to sign them
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and send them back, and people will be like, I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: trying to get every head shot signed from this particular episode.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: So I definitely got a lot of those. I was present.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: You know, they found me, probably through my agent or whatever.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But like the people that I know where I work
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that have recognized me, then they'll tell this other girl
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: they're on like twenties thirties fish and then there they
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: just completely recognized me and they put it together. But
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: not like, yeah, right off the street, I haven't had that,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But oftentimes though here it is you look familiar. I've
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: seen you in something. There has been that, But I've
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: also done many commercials and other things over the years.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: So I was like, well, I have one of those faces,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: but a lot of times they don't actually put it together. Hey,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: this is Bobby Brown and I'm relaunching my podcast The
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Important Things. What's important to me is everything from how
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to live my life, how to run my business, what
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to do if I feel and what to do if
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed. Certainly I will tackle a lot of the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: issues about getting older. I will tackle with curiosity a
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: lot of the issues about what should we be eating,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: because everyone tells us something different and I'm just curious
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: how other really busy, interesting women get things done. My
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: first episode is Giada de Laurentis, who is adorable and
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: gave such great information. Talked to Jenna Elfman, Gabby Reese.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, the woman knows everything. Talk to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Jillian Michael's and that's going to be a great one.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I hope that you will come along for the ride
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: because it's been really fun to do this. So listen
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to the Important Things with Bobby Brown wherever you listen
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: to podcasts. How long has it been since you watched
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the series? Back before last night you hadn't, well, you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: had not seen the show at all, and then last
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: night you watched because you're the episode because you were
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: coming I'm pretty sure because you know, I'm human. I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: probably watched the episode that I was in, right, but
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I and after watching it last night, uh, and my
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: husband liked it too, and he can be so picky.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: We both are like, this is actually super good and smart,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: like Edgar Allen Poe stuff. You know, it's it's not shallow,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it's there's heart to it and there's it's smart too.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So I actually I would probably go and watch it now,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: but I know I have not watched all of the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Gilmore Girls. Well let me ask you this, have you Scott?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Or is that part of this podcast? I never I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: mean I never watched the episodes though, right because Scott.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I was almost like, who's Scott? Because I wasn't even
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: in with you? So this is like one layer back
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: from you. So you've never watched him and I eat.

  Speaker 1: working on them all the time. I don't want to
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: come home and watch them, you know, Like I I
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: knew people who were on series and they would invite
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: you over to their apartments of their houses because they
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: were getting all their friends together watching the episode. And
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that is so strange. Why would anyone do that?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I would be I'm not a huge fan of watching. No,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not either. I mean, I would be horrified to.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I would never. I would never. I would have That's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: like torture. I would never even think of doing something
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: like that, because why would you put yourself through that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: You had friends that actually did that, they'd be like, guys,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: it's my weekly episode, let's all come over and watch.

  Speaker 1: I remember dating a girl before I was involved in
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in acting who did that. She was on a series,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and and she would do that. She would invite all
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: her friends over and then she would, you know, they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: compliment her, and they'd leave, and I'd be sitting there
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: kind of dumb struck about what that whole process was
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: all about. I mean, I kind of got that she
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to watch the show, but I mean, I don't know,
• 18:09
