  Speaker 1: So you know, we had quite a run that I

  Speaker 1: was Betty and it was just going to be, you know,

  Speaker 1: Susan confronting her mother that she had been abused by
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: our father, and I was like, this person girl that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: lived with my mother like this, and I'd witnessed my
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: sister being abused and I couldn't say anything. And when
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Susan turned around, we were filming, we weren't rehearsing. She
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: turned around and she goes, you know, how could you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: not protect me? I mean, I burst into tears, and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not a crier. That's not my thing. I'm not
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: like one of those actors that cry all the time.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But she was so to put, so upset with me,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, but you know, I didn't know what
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to do because I'm her younger sister by six years,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's the chemistry. And then she just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: grabbed me and she hugged me really hard. None of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: this was in the script. I mean, it was just it,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and I just kind of knew with that, you know, moment,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that I was working for one of the great actors,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: and I just I love her and I miss her.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: She just moved to Australia. I love you, Susan. You're
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: saying this. I love you. It's called make Me Magic. Yeah,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it was. It was amazing. And Betty the same way.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, boy, she played on thee mean person. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Betty's so funny and so sweet and she could never
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: remember her lines. So I memorized all of Betty's lines
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: because I was in all the scenes with her. And
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: she'd go, she taught me why I can say this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: on camera. She taught me what you do if you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: can't remember your line, to say fuck because they can't
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: print it. So she would do that, she'd go, oh
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: fuck and then she'd look at me and I'd tell
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: her the line and she'd go, let's keep rolling, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: she and then we do it like that. Yeah, And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I learned that from her. I would never think of
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: saying fuck during a filming a film, but I'm going
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to now thanks to Betty White, bless your heart. You know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: She was just so genuine and so simple, and she
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: just wanted to get it right. So she you know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: she was like eighty five already when they did that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, why should she memorize all these
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: crazy lines? Nobody can at twenty, you know, I mean,
• 2:46
