[00:00:02] Speaker A: Greetings, everyone. This is Moya with How Bette Davis Saved my life with a new segment for how Bette Davis saved my life, life lessons from classic Hollywood called Late to the Party. As you can hear, the party's already started. And what I mean by late to the party is recent movies that Georgia and or I have recently seen and you've probably already seen, but we want to talk about them. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this brand new segment of how Bette Davis Saved my Life, life lessons from classic Hollywood called Late to the. All right, yes. It's time for another fantastic episode, and I'm so glad to be here with you guys. I already said who I was, but in case you all were getting you a drink, watching me get a drink, I don't know. Sam's my girl, Georgia, and hurting my feelings, but she will. [00:01:27] Speaker B: She shall return. [00:01:28] Speaker A: She shall return. So until she comes back, late to the party time. And let's get things kicked off, guys. So, you know, I always already said, you already know. What's up? Tea. Tea time. Not drinking the tea right now, but I will drink it later. So. Because we got a doozy. We got a doozy. I cannot wait to get into this movie. There I am, the female animal, 1958. Hetty Lamar. Okay. And this was her last movie. So you guys, do I need to really give her any introduction, but I. I will. Heather Lamar is probably one of the most beautiful women, if not in Hollywood or the movies, the world. Absolutely gorgeous. And there's been so much done on her. I'm not gonna take too much of your time and talk about that. But for those of you who do not know who she is, let's take a look. And when I say gorgeous, just absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. So let's look at the official Hetty Lamar website. Shout out to this website right here. Look how beautiful she is. Brains and beauty. Absolutely. Because the woman was actually a genius. And this is her with a little less makeup. Look like she has freckles. And so we'll find this picture in a moment. But for those of you who don't know, she is like literally the mother of invention. And that she and her partner, one of her friends of hers who was a musician, helped create the science and tech, the basic, the blueprint for what we now know as Bluetooth and signal hopping. And it's a long story. She. It was so much way later not to like maybe the 20th or 21st century to the poor woman got any recognition at the fight. The government and other powers that be that did not want to pay and recognize her. So, you know, go check that out. There's so many. Go to this website or there's like tons of information about her. Let's take a look at this one because these have. This one has some of her earlier movies and when she was still in her native land. Heather Lamar is not her real name. Like I said, there's so much information about her. But this. Obviously, when she was younger, I was trying to get some better pictures. Let's see about this one. Let's enlarge this one. So you. Obviously this was. She's just first starting at out. Okay. And shout out to this page. It's called Enigma. A E N I G M A I believe. And so. But there's another picture I want to show of her just how absolutely gorgeous. I think you can buy this move this poster, I believe. Hollywood pinups. Yes, she was. And so just look how gorgeous this woman was. If this thing could get out the way. Oh, hilarious. Look at that hat. Give me that hat. So the woman was in a ton of movies. Like I said, she was a closeted genius, if you will. And so Again, go on YouTube or online and there's like just a ton. A ton, A ton, A ton of information about her. Let's see. I hope we can find some more. I just want to go back to. So let's just go back to this website for one quick second and take a look at this website, because I think really quickly, I think they have everything because it's the official website, so it should have everything on there, don't you think? Yeah. So go check that out. Hannah Lamar, just gorgeous. And. And so, you know, we. They. When we did Blazing Saddles, of course they had a play on her name with Madeline Khan's character. And so go check out our video with Blazing Saddles, Georgia and I. And you can see about that. But anyway, let's get to her final film called the Female Animal, and we can take a really quick look at the cast because it's quite interesting. It's a lot of. To me, a lot of swan songs for a lot of other characters or stars, I should say, of yesteryear of Hollywood. So if you. And I'm just gonna go ahead on and get to a quieter corner for. For our. For our music. And the DJ is in the band. You know, they interchange. They going. They're doing such a great job. So just how does they take that down a scooch so you guys can hear me? And sometimes this Audio is funny. Sometimes on certain platforms you can hear me, but you can't. But I have some really cool jazz. Shout out to this. This station. I'm sorry, this channel. Sensual Music number four, you. I'll put a link in the description box. That's where I have. I'm getting this music from. Yeah, that's the DJ right there. Okay. Shout out to him. Well, I'm gonna go somewhere else and just be a little bit more quiet so we can get the best of this tea that I have for you. Because this movie was something else. Let me know in the chat. Have you seen this movie? And shout out to all our listeners and subscribers, our audio listeners as well as our video visual listeners on the. All the social media and listening platforms. Thank you all so much for your support and I really enjoy doing this with you and for you. And again, you know, Georgia's not here, but she sends you all the best from her side of the Hollywood world, if you will. But anyway, let's get into this. So the female animal, and this is the cast, obviously. And I can't get it. We can't get it to scroll. So let's take a look. So you all seen my. In my thumbnails, these great movie posters. And it's so dramatic. I love it. Let's take a look at that. But this is taken, I believe, from the movies, so to speak, not this piece, but basically I just love these movie posters because they really draw you in. Right? But anyway, it was her last movie. And also Jane Powell, for those of you who don't know Jane Powell, she had a good run about eight years in Hollywood, I believe, at mgm. So she. A lot of people thought maybe she might be the heir to Debbie Reynolds, a counterpart. But, you know, Debbie Reynolds went on forever. But Jane. Jane Powell, as opposed, like being on the big screen and everything. But Jane Powell kind of took it back a little bit. She went on summer stock, but she's best known for musicals. So when I saw her and just being this goody two shoes, cutie poops when I saw her in this, I was like, oh, wow, that's a really a turn for her. Being dramatic and drunk and just wow. Just really footage. A little tramp, tramp. I tramp. Then we have Jan Sterling, guys, and I cannot wait for you all to see her. So if those of you who just know this movie, I was so getting Joan Crawford, Bette Davis vibes. And I'll show you that in a moment. And those of you who've seen it, when you're going to see it. Let me know in the comments if you were getting those vibes because it was just cat, catty, catty, catty. And then George Nader, he plays the love interest of both these women in the movie. So Hedy Lamar's mom, Jane Powell is. Is the daughter, the wayward daughter. And George Nader. Chris. Chris Farley. His name is Chris Farley. Can you believe that? That is so freaking funny. Oh, my gosh. I know. Chris Farley, the late, great comedic actor. I know. Did you think he saw this movie or his parents? I don't know, but I thought that was so funny. So anyway, they just have a lot of other cast of characters and we get into the movie, but I just didn't want to overlook these people. So y'all recognize this lady? Let me see if I can make it bigger. Mabel Albertson. Who is she? Guys, now look at the background of this, of this scene, of this picture. Rather. Okay, for those of you who got it, she is Darren's mother off of Bewitch Crazy. Yes, yes. And I was getting it confused like, well, she misses Crab. And like, no, no, no. Because I knew it was a Bewitch. But anyway, so then you see James Gleason, and this might have been one of his last films. So we know James Gleason's James Gleason from. He's been around or had been around since silent. The silent era. He also directed a lot of things as well. And so we love him because he could do comedy, he could do drama. He was mainly known for his comedy turns. And that's talking. Yeah, look at him. You know, I guess like a New York, Brooklyn accent. I don't know. I don't know my accents, but I know. I think it probably was some kind of New York accent, but. And we have time. We'll get to him. But I'll make this bigger. He has been anything. So a lot of you, a lot of these character and big bit players. Here he is. And this probably was like some of their last scenes. Right? Okay. But he had been in everything and with everybody. And so they're showing it right here. It was with Spencer Tracy. So that's so. And so some other people you've seen. And George Nader, he. He okay. Crunch. Tv, a lot of TV stuff and movies, obviously, but a lot of those type of things. Not a huge Hollywood star, not a huge name, but he was tall and rugged looking. So of course, you know, they had to put him in there. And we've seen this Guy in a million things as well. And so I'll just scroll down and if there's anyone else you see that you recognize. And like I said, Jan Sterling here, let's get a larger foot picture. But we're gonna get, we're gonna get in the movie. Get into the movie in a second. But yeah, Jan Sterling, I loved her in that movie with Kirk Douglas where her husband was trapped in a mine and Kirk Douglas came to where he was trapped in the mind and made an absolute media circus. And it really was talking about the media high sensationalizes things and goes too far. So I can't remember the name of, you know the name of it put in the comments. But now, without further ado, let's get into the fee. Male animal. So I'm gonna, you know, we're not gonna look at the whole movie, but just get. Start with the, with the. The main thing, if you will. All right, so where we're starting off is at the beginning of the movie and is a little like foreshadowing of what's going on. Right. And let me just put myself. My lovely self down here, I guess. I guess that's okay. And what you're seeing is foreshadowing of things to come. So this first scene is things to come. All right, so let's take her. So she's, she's on the set. Vanessa Windsor is Hetty Lamar's name in the movie. And she's on a set and she's about to do a scene. And here we go. Just. And so let me just fast forward. So she's got to do this scene and she didn't want to do the, the stunt double to do it, so she did it. And then we'll see what happens it. Okay, so she's. She's fell. Or did she. And she's having, you know, she looked at her daughter and her, her man, her boyfriend, former boyfriend, the man she's in love with. And she saw them together and it just sent her literally to a tail spin and she fell off the. You saw what happened. Okay, so let's fast forward. So again, that's. That is foreshadowing. But now they're in real time. So that obviously that was future events. So anyway, so let's move on. So let's see how her and the guy met. Okay. Her and George Nader. Chris Farley. [00:16:04] Speaker B: Alex, sign off. All right, son? [00:16:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:13] Speaker B: Ms. Windsor, are you hurt? No, I don't think so. [00:16:17] Speaker C: Come on, you better let me have. [00:16:17] Speaker A: A look at you. What about you fella. [00:16:20] Speaker C: You gonna be all right? [00:16:21] Speaker A: What's happened? Nothing. [00:16:22] Speaker C: Nothing's happened. You better have that looked at. What's your name? It's okay. I'm all right. [00:16:30] Speaker A: His name's Chris Farley. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Sure. Maybe you'll get a couple of lines out of it. [00:16:35] Speaker C: Come on, we'll get it fixed up. Would you clear the dressing room, please? [00:16:41] Speaker B: I'll call the production office. [00:16:44] Speaker C: Doctor, can you look at the young man, or do you want him to go to the dispensary? Vanessa. [00:16:50] Speaker B: Of course. [00:16:51] Speaker C: Bring him in. Mr. Farley? This is Chris Farley, Ms. Winslow. Hello. [00:17:00] Speaker B: Well, thank you for helping me. I thought. Well, I'm sorry. [00:17:06] Speaker C: No, I hope you weren't hurt. [00:17:09] Speaker B: No, just little shaken, that's all. [00:17:13] Speaker C: Ms. Windsor, if you're not too upset, I was thinking. [00:17:16] Speaker B: No, I'm all right. What? What were you thinking? [00:17:20] Speaker C: We might be able to get some good news breaks on this story. Maybe even make the afternoon deadlines. Now, I could get a photographer in here and. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Oh, pictures, of course. What did you say your name was? [00:17:34] Speaker C: Chris. Chris Farley. [00:17:37] Speaker B: Well, I don't mind. That is, if Chris doesn't mind. [00:17:49] Speaker A: Sorry for any background noise you hear. I'm gonna try not to laugh every time they say his name. He lives down by the river in the van, this guy. And a little. Okay, we're gonna stop. We're gonna stop. Okay. So that's how they met. And of course, never miss an opportunity. Never let a good crisis go to waste. As you know, some people like to say, it's Hollywood, right? And so I'll fast forward, but you know, the name of the title of this episode of Late to the Party is Cougar Fantasies Part Two or Kept Man Blues Part One. So I'm gonna go. Go ahead on. So needless to say, you know what's gonna happen, so. And there's Mabel. There's Darren's mother right there. Okay, because he lives in this bungalow, and I guess she's a landlady or whatever, and. And so she takes us calls. But anyway, so she calls him to go to the premiere, and he's like, I'm broke. I don't. I don't have the tux or anything, so I don't have to worry about the Hollywood studio. Take care of it. And here we go. [00:19:00] Speaker B: No, I'm sorry. That's all. But finally, more. I'll be here all night. [00:19:12] Speaker C: Like, was confusing. [00:19:17] Speaker B: Oh, a picture on the evening. [00:19:20] Speaker C: The evening. Does anyone ever look at the picture? [00:19:24] Speaker B: Sometimes. Not often. Too busy looking at each other. Yeah, I For one, was looking at you. [00:19:33] Speaker C: Me? Why? [00:19:35] Speaker B: Well, you look very handsome in your dinner jacket. Do you have to go home or something? Is someone waiting for you? [00:19:45] Speaker C: No. No. [00:19:46] Speaker B: Oh, well, that's wonderful. Drive to the beach. I know a lovely little place there. [00:19:52] Speaker A: Now, what I love about this is showing once again the. The. The reversal of the power dynamic. We almost always only see the power dynamic of the man exerting power over the woman. Right. And so now we see the reverse. She has all the power. He has zero. And she's. Now what is she doing? She is inviting him to her place. Right? Right. All right, now, so I don't want to hear, you know, what men do, because women, anyone in power is going to exert it over anyone that he or she can to get what they want. That is just human nature. All right? And it don't hurt that she's gorgeous. Okay. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Would you stop at the Belaya Hotel and take a cab home? [00:20:59] Speaker C: Yes, ma'am. [00:21:02] Speaker A: Yes, ma'am. All right. So they go back to her beach house. [00:21:08] Speaker B: Oh, yes. It's private. [00:21:09] Speaker A: And now, again, if the roles were reversed, why are. Of the. The man as the star and a woman. Why are you go. Why are you going by this person's house? [00:21:23] Speaker C: A. [00:21:23] Speaker A: A far off. In the cutters, we like to say a home. Nobody around is dark. That is dangerous. But. But why? Because this woman is attractive or the man is attractive. And they have power. And whether this guy knows it or not, I mean, he's in her aura, right? And people are attracted to power. But anyway, let's go. [00:21:46] Speaker B: Very exclusive. Oh, watch your step. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Nice. [00:22:01] Speaker B: Welcome to Windsor Castle. [00:22:03] Speaker C: To where? [00:22:05] Speaker B: My own private little club. How do you like it? [00:22:09] Speaker C: It's really something. [00:22:11] Speaker B: Well, it's small, but my own members only. [00:22:17] Speaker C: Of course. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Of course. [00:22:19] Speaker C: How does. How does one get elected to the club? [00:22:25] Speaker B: You've been elected. [00:22:27] Speaker C: Oh, well, is there an initiation ceremony? [00:22:33] Speaker A: Now, guys, don't. I don't know about you, but I think sex is gonna happen. I don't know what it is. I got a slight feeling. I'm not 100% sure, but I think something. Sex. Something of a sexual nature is being discussed here. Ah, well, tell me what you think. It could just be me. I'm out of a dirty mind. But anyway, let's move on. So. And I, you know, a lot of back and forth talking and banter. So look, let's take a look up there. From here to eternity moment on the. On the. We don't want to miss that beef cake, y'all. I like how Their hair is totally not messed up. They just came out the ocean. [00:23:32] Speaker B: Isn't it funny? [00:23:33] Speaker C: What's funny? [00:23:34] Speaker B: Cross hundreds of sound stages thousands of times. [00:23:39] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, dear. These people just met, by the way. And it's so funny. So, you know, like, you know, George and I love pre code. So this is 58. We're going into the 60s, and, you know, people kind of like whitewashed the 50s, and they were kind of whitewashed and wholesome and all that. But see, I. I love how now this is post World War II and they call this film noir. And a little bit. It's not a lot of shoot them up and violence, you know, unfortunately, but the grittiness. You could not just be all this sunshine and lollipops anymore. Especially, you know, after World War II. You had to give people realness. Okay? And so I like how this movie is unapologetically saying, these people just met and they just got down. I love it. But anyway, a lot of pillow talk, blah, blah, blah. And it keeps saying pillow talk pop up. Oh, here. So let's go to no walks of shame here cab at this time of night, silly. [00:24:51] Speaker B: Besides, I want an excuse to see you again. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Well, okay, so these people are lovers. So she got called away to her daughter, and she did not let the man know what the issue was or, my daughter's in trouble, blah, blah, blah. So she had to get called away to her daughter, and here we go. [00:25:19] Speaker B: You went out tonight? I went out tonight. I've told you before, if you must drink, don't make a spectacle of yourself. Spectacle? Who are you to tell me what to do? You, your mother and responsible for you. [00:25:42] Speaker A: Oh, that's a laugh. [00:25:44] Speaker B: I don't find it very amusing. My mother? What did you ever do to earn that title except pay a few bills? Don't you ever say that again. You only adopted me to fill out the cash. Everybody in Hollywood knows that. [00:26:04] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:26:07] Speaker B: Vanessa win. [00:26:09] Speaker A: Now, y'all, did you hear what she just said? You only adopted me. I'm telling you, I think this is shade on a lot of actress. Now that we know Joan Crawford. Shout out to my Joan Crawford fans out there. I want to, but we know she adopted a lot of people. Adopted back then and still doing the. Still doing it now. Like the kids are an accessory, right? So this girl already has issues of feeling unwanted. She knows she's adopted. Her mother is a star and she's not really there for her. Obviously she has substance abuse, alcohol problems. Ain't none change ain't a freaking Thing change. Let's go on. [00:26:52] Speaker B: The perfect star comes a perfect mother. [00:26:58] Speaker A: Shade. [00:26:59] Speaker B: Well, I'm tired of giving a performance. You understand that? I don't care how tired you are. You're not going to be this tired again. As long as you're in this house, you're going to behave like a lady and not like some little tramp. Tramp. Oh, you're full of funnies tonight. Trapped. From you, the great lady, the great star ruled in every gutter. And I didn't mean that. I'm sorry. I just wanted you to have the chance in life I never had. I had to do it the hard way. What makes you think being your daughter's the easy way? [00:27:55] Speaker A: Oh, go deal with that. Okay, so we've gotten to that point. Now we're gonna fast forward and this was a funny scene. Go back and. And look at it between her and this little boy. But she goes and finds the guy, okay, where he lives and just looking him up and you know, whatever. Low key, stalkerish in my opinion. In this scene, he gets a job offer to work on a movie. Low budget movie. Anyway, he gets a film off, all right, from this guy was funny. And I believe he played the Van Dykes on a Dick Van Dyke show. The original one of him and Mary Tyler Moore. He was the neighbor. Yep. Jerry, I think. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, Chris Farley gets a job offer to go wherever, somewhere and do some work. Okay. And so that's why he's telling this. So let's. So they're in this bar and here, this. So this is where he meets Jane Powell. The daughter meets her. This is very interesting as well. And James Gleason is there and so he's bartender. [00:29:07] Speaker C: Sorry, sir, but the young lady can't have any screen driver. Never any double shot of odk. Why not? Because I don't allow people to get drunk in my place. Particularly young girls. Look, brother, when I come into a bar and order a drink, I expect to get it. Yes, sir. And you're gonna get it. But not the young lady. She's had enough. It's a good way for a saloon keeper to lose his license. Okay, okay, forget the bourbon then. Just give me the screwdriver. Open drinker. You've had three already. You wouldn't want to twist the bud. They wouldn't be good for you. [00:29:41] Speaker A: I like that stuff, Grandpa. They're delicious. [00:29:44] Speaker C: There's a lot of places I can be served, you know. Yes, sir. And you go to them places, but you don't get no double Screwdriver here. Okay, kid, come on. [00:30:06] Speaker A: We're leaving. [00:30:06] Speaker B: Well, I like it here, Pete. [00:30:08] Speaker C: I know a better place. Come on. Checking out? Yeah, you know, early to bed. I never heard a greater fallacy in my life. You know that I'm the one. [00:30:24] Speaker A: All right, so it really goes down like most things in the parking lot, right? [00:30:31] Speaker C: Honey, you don't really mean that. [00:30:33] Speaker B: I'm not going to go with you. Let me alone. Look what you got. Take your paws off me. [00:30:44] Speaker C: Enough of this nonsense. You're getting back into the car right now. [00:30:47] Speaker B: Can you help me with this kick? [00:30:50] Speaker C: Stay out of this. [00:30:51] Speaker B: This is none of your. [00:30:52] Speaker A: Many a man, the Samaritan being chivalrous. Sir Galahad has lost his life with this foolishness. But I digress. [00:31:04] Speaker C: Wait a minute. [00:31:05] Speaker A: Boom. [00:31:07] Speaker B: Go on, hit him. [00:31:18] Speaker A: Look out behind you. Go. That's where you should be. [00:31:29] Speaker B: That's a pretty good left you got there. [00:31:31] Speaker C: Sorry I had to do that. But. [00:31:35] Speaker A: Okay, so he capes forward. And y'all know, because my audience, our audience, rather, is so smart. This is so dangerous for this young lady. I. I'm not gonna go on a diet Tribe about that. But this is how things happen. But it gets worse. All right, so he capes for. Takes her. So again, they don't know each other, right? Total stranger. He takes her back to. We all know whose house this is. Okay, she doesn't because she's been away in school, all right? So she doesn't really know about her mom's intricacies of her mom's life like that. So it takes her back there to sober her up. And this, which is so dangerous. Oh, now you gonna get into that. Oh, my gosh. And this part was pretty funny. I'm uncomfortable. [00:32:30] Speaker B: What? I don't like those strange drinks. [00:32:35] Speaker C: Here we go. Oops. Take it easy. Oh, you'll like this. This will be fun for you. [00:32:43] Speaker A: There we go. Okay, so that happened. And then moving right along. Like I said, she's just like a little lost puppy, you know, looking for somebody to be cool with. All right? And then. Oh, I feel so bad for her because this is. If this guy was scum. Oh, my gosh, the cabs here. Look at him. [00:33:17] Speaker B: You know, you've really been very sweet, and I think you deserve a proper thank you. [00:33:25] Speaker A: Dangerous, Terrible. That's how stuff happens, yo. [00:33:28] Speaker B: Have to do for now, keep my account open. Thanks for the shower. We must do it again sometimes. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Oh, man. All right, so that again. So now we're putting the pieces together. That's how they met. All right. And in between is some interstitial stuff and some beefcake if you. If you want to see that. And you know they getting closer, blah blah, blah. And so. But here comes Jan Sterling because we know that these great actresses had these feuds. Of course, one of the most famous views ever were Betty and Joan, right? But there were so many other actors and they would compete for men. And I love how this movie was brutally honest, showing how the women were just as bad as the men. But you can't talk about that, right? [00:34:21] Speaker B: Violent. For all my friends. I just wear two or three of them myself around my ankle. In the old days. Everybody wears my share. [00:34:29] Speaker C: Please, I'm bored hearing about the Stone Age. [00:34:34] Speaker B: That's where these rocks came from, lover. And don't forget it, darling. [00:34:39] Speaker A: So if I didn't set this up, like I said, Jan Sterling, she's like kind of on her way down in her movie career, but she, her. And at one point her and Heather Lamar's character in the story. Well, like on the same level. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Give Lily a shot for a bronchitis. [00:34:55] Speaker A: Sierra, I don't know why I live here. [00:34:57] Speaker C: Well, I thought you liked the beach, Miss Frane. [00:35:00] Speaker B: You darling. I do, but it's so boring. Nothing to do night or day but go to bed. [00:35:07] Speaker C: Why don't you make another picture, Ms. Frayne? I thought you were great in Salamo. [00:35:11] Speaker B: Lubitsch did too, darling. Lubitsch did too. Giants in those days, now you could put the whole bunch under a card table and nobody'd muss a hair. Did you ever see me in Salambo, darling? [00:35:30] Speaker C: Sorry, I wasn't born then. [00:35:33] Speaker B: Oh, I was only 11 myself. Called me little Lily Frey was the first child star ever to be chased around a desk. [00:35:44] Speaker A: Wow. [00:35:45] Speaker B: Please let me blame. [00:35:46] Speaker C: I told you I was. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Will, this movie is brutally honest. Did you hear what she just said? Wow. And nothing's changed. That's gross. The first child started be chased around a death. Oh, okay. [00:36:00] Speaker C: Anyway, listen to what you had to say. That's why I'm here. [00:36:04] Speaker B: It's been ages. Darling. How are you? Oh, I'm fine. You remember Pepe? We played foursies, tennis. He's the boy with the marvelous chop. Oh, yes. And who is this? I don't think I've seen him before. Or have you been hiding him on purpose? This Mr. Farley, Ms. Fr. You must be in pictures or you should be. [00:36:28] Speaker C: I've had a couple of lines and done some extra work, but I don't think I have the talent for this 24 hour acting. That Seems to go on around here. [00:36:37] Speaker B: My dear boy, one does need a little talent in this business. But not necessarily for acting. We are late. Chris, do you mind telling the head waiter we're here? [00:36:49] Speaker C: Not at all. [00:36:51] Speaker B: How exciting for you, angel. He's a little rude, but so virile. Some people are just rude, period. You pay the man more share Captain Blue Be so boring. I adore the clean limbed American type too. Somehow I always end up with beal scalapini and sideburns. Leaping to conclusions again, Lily. What else is there to leap at except men? One keeps me in condition for the other. Well, Chris is quite independent. He's taking care of my beach house. But he also works at studios. My dear, that's a mistake. Never let them have a career. That's the one thing I've really learned about men in Hollywood. Success goes to their little heads. One morning they're off with the car and they're gold cufflinks in your heart. And that's that. Keep em sharecropping, dear. It's the only way. Coat that barge, lift that bale. He's not taking care of your cottage. As you like. Send him over to me. I have a little property too. [00:37:53] Speaker C: Your table's ready. [00:37:56] Speaker B: Chris, wait. [00:37:57] Speaker A: I love it. Brutal, brute. Brutally honest. Right? Yes, yes, yes. All the tea. This. This should be shown like in Women's. Women's studies and what have you. And the patriarch. No, it's about power, power, power. And women love sex and we love men. Just like vice versa. How men love sex and power and women, there's no different. And when you combine those two, or either one extreme or the other, you get this. And I love Jan Stone. She said keep her sharecropping. I'm gonna put that. I should put that like I'm gonna put that in my YouTube video. Keep them sharecropping. And somebody say, what racism is that? No, dummy. Look at the movie. Anyway, let's move on. So you. You saw Vanessa Windsor contemplating what? Jan just poisoning the poor woman. Poisoning her mind. Prejudicing her. Right. And so you saw thinking about that. [00:39:04] Speaker B: To talk that phony French sounds. So you're calling me an old cow? You probably are. [00:39:10] Speaker C: Your table's ready, Ms. Crane. This way, please. [00:39:13] Speaker A: I love it. I love it. [00:39:18] Speaker B: Chris. Chris. I'm sorry that you had to hear all that nonsense. Lily is an idiot. But why blame me for what she says? [00:39:29] Speaker C: I'm not blaming anybody for anything except myself. Anyway, it wasn't just what she said. [00:39:36] Speaker B: What then? [00:39:38] Speaker C: Do you want me to Be like that pet seal your friend was showing off in the Barton night. [00:39:42] Speaker B: Well, Chris, that's not fair. [00:39:44] Speaker C: You've got your way of looking at things and I've got mine. [00:39:47] Speaker B: What do you mean? [00:39:48] Speaker C: I mean that I wasn't on to this deal. I thought you wanted a man to take care of the place, not you. [00:39:54] Speaker B: Oh, but Chris, I don't understand you when you get so angry. [00:39:59] Speaker C: I'm not angry. At least not with you. I'm grateful to you, as a matter of fact, for everything. Everything you've done, everything you tried to do. I know it hasn't all been beer and pretzels for you either. I don't house break easily. [00:40:15] Speaker A: Chris. [00:40:18] Speaker C: Chris, darling, you've given me something that a guy like me might never have found knocking around the way I have. And it was wonderful. That is, until I woke up and realized how wrong we were. [00:40:37] Speaker B: But don't you realize it was wonderful for me too? [00:40:41] Speaker C: You and I, we can never have any real relationship. You're Vanessa Windsor, the big movie star, and I'm just the guy that everyone in town's gonna say you're keeping. [00:40:53] Speaker B: Well, what does it matter what people say? [00:40:56] Speaker C: It matters to me because I've got to look at myself in the mirror every morning. That's why I'm checking out of here while I've still got my self respect, what's left of it. [00:41:09] Speaker A: So. And shout out to Dolly Parton, you know, she lost her beloved husband for over 50 years. Carl. Carl Dean. And when they were at that movie premiere, in the movie here, Vanessa Windsor and Chris Farley, that's literally what happened. Maybe darling husband saw that, she took him to a premiere and he was like, don't you. Or whatever movie, some Hollywood stuff. And he was like, don't you ever ask me to go to that again. With the same sentiments. Like the people there was so phony. Like he couldn't relate to anybody and he saw straight through them. And so that tripped me out. And so I kind of see in Dolly, you know, I'm not. This ain't nothing I'm making up. Dolly talks about this, how her husband, I mean, it's kind of like Chris Farley, he wanted to be his own man. He wasn't trying to be in that world. And he wants to be his own person and shout out to them for making it work for over 50 plus years. Because, you know, Dolly Parton is like out the stratosphere of superstardom. And her husband, you know, low key, stood in the background. You barely knew who he Was. And they made it work. So can these people make it work. So anyway, you know, let's see if she. What she has to say to that. So to what he's saying. [00:42:32] Speaker B: You'Re walking out, are you? [00:42:34] Speaker C: That's right. Because if I stayed around here, it wouldn't be very long before I'd be just like that. Around the same time I might start thinking maybe you were just like Lily Frame. [00:42:46] Speaker A: Chris. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Oh, Chris. What are we trying to do to one another? I know I've been wrong. And it could have turned out the way you said with two other people, but not with us. Nothing can change the way we feel to one another, Vanessa. Chris, I need you. I need you desperately. [00:43:16] Speaker A: And he fell for it. All right, so without making this long. So look. Look at this. Look, watch this. This guy was a hunk. He was not great of that great of an actor, in my opinion. But this place is locked up like a vault. [00:43:34] Speaker B: I got so hungry I almost broke a window into my desperation. [00:43:36] Speaker C: Wouldn't have done you much good. The cupboard was there. I had to go to the market myself. [00:43:41] Speaker A: Okay, so this man is caught between both of these hot tamales, these hot mamas. And look at her. She a little, you know, and like to say the girl had a poor upbringing. I mean, you already know the story. I got to go into that. So look at her now. Again, they have no idea of their connection. Look at Jane Powell. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Your employer is very close to me. [00:44:16] Speaker A: Okay, so I. I'm he figured out. [00:44:20] Speaker B: Because I think she's my mother and I'm Penny Winter. [00:44:23] Speaker A: There you go. Yeah. Because applied device in the interest of time. When she was at the house drunk, she took a handkerchief and she figured out it was her mother's. And then she figured out who he was and blah, blah, blah. So here we go with that. So sorry, that left that little piece out. And I'm gonna run right home and. [00:44:43] Speaker B: Tell mother what a passionate little friend she has here. Keeps it in the family too, don't you think? Stop feeling like a child. [00:44:55] Speaker C: Listen, honey, I didn't ask you down here. I don't know what your game is, but you're gonna keep your mouth shut about it. [00:44:59] Speaker B: Oh, sure, keep my mouth shut. [00:45:00] Speaker A: Or you might lose your meal ticket. [00:45:02] Speaker B: And that'd be disastrous, wouldn't it? [00:45:04] Speaker C: I'm thinking about Vanessa. This was a put up job and you know it. [00:45:08] Speaker B: Don't worry. You're a little hard about that, Nessa. You think you're her first little friend. You're just one of a long Line that she's picked up and dropped at her convenience. [00:45:17] Speaker C: Dang. [00:45:18] Speaker B: Including me. [00:45:19] Speaker A: Well, we kept out of sight. [00:45:24] Speaker B: She's forgotten all about me. She doesn't even remember me. Hardly. She put me in school because I was too old and I might destroy the illusion of the great Vanessa Windsor. Well, I'm just as phony as you are. I'm not even a real Windsor. Don't think she has let me know it either. I'm gonna destroy a few of her illusions and not you or anybody else who's gonna stop me. [00:45:47] Speaker A: Now wait her and then we go. [00:45:50] Speaker C: Come here. [00:45:57] Speaker A: Wow. So that's the post. Except for she had that polka dot on. She had the red dress. Right. Cool. This poor man, he is caught between two cycles. Right. So she. Of course it's her house. You know girls, you know how we do the drop in even though it's her house? I'm guilty of the drop in. And men don't like to drop in. Don't do the drop in if you're the girlfriend. I don't care if you're the A number one. You know, unless the guy says it's okay to drop in even though it's her house. Drop in. All right, so let's go with this. Now is this dude worn out from you know what where you know who. Because he looks like I've. You. We those of us how to say if you know, you know. Let's move on. I think let me know in the comments. That light they will put on older women's faces like that lighting. All right, so she goes into a tailspin and. And trips out. And then look, she's talking to her daughter which was. Oh, this was so uncomfortable. Super cringe. [00:48:28] Speaker B: I've got to talk to someone. I lose my mind. I've never seen you like this. You don't know what it's like to love someone and know he's got someone else. What? He's got another woman. I was there tonight. He didn't know I was coming. He was asleep. But I could see where she'd been with the cigarettes and where they had dinner. Oh, Penny. I love him so. I know he's young and he's not faithful, but I don't care. I love him. [00:49:08] Speaker A: The wall has broken. That's the wall talk. Wow. Okay, so she started hitting the bottle and like I said, this is. This is probably many a Hollywood yesteryear stars, right? [00:49:34] Speaker B: Hi, Chris. You sounded so urgent on the phone. What's the matter? [00:49:39] Speaker C: I'm sorry, I. I had to See you right away. I hope you don't mind my coming here. [00:49:43] Speaker B: No, no, sit down. Is there something wrong? [00:49:47] Speaker C: Well, not exactly. It's just that. [00:49:52] Speaker A: Don. [00:49:53] Speaker C: Don, I. I had an offer to do a picture in Mexico. I'm going to take it. [00:50:03] Speaker B: Well, how long will you be gone? [00:50:07] Speaker C: I. I don't know. I. I might stay down there for a while after the picture is finished. I. I think it's time I did something about my life. [00:50:18] Speaker B: Yeah, sure. [00:50:20] Speaker A: And shout out to this guy. This guy was not a bum. This guy was a decent man. And it's just sad how neurotic, selfish women can turn a. A good, decent man inside out. It's. It's really sad. [00:50:34] Speaker B: I understand Craft wrong. You have standards. And if two people love one another as we do, there's only one solution before they can be happy. That is real happy. You know, you're right. You are right. We have to get married. [00:50:57] Speaker A: What? [00:50:57] Speaker B: It's as simple as that. [00:50:59] Speaker C: Married. [00:51:00] Speaker B: Yes. Yes, you're right about Mexico. You've got to establish yourself. As for us, goodness knows we've weathered our differences and it's high time that we legalized the situation. [00:51:19] Speaker C: Vanessa, look. [00:51:21] Speaker B: When did you say you have to go to Mexico? [00:51:24] Speaker C: In a few days. [00:51:27] Speaker B: That's wonderful. [00:51:28] Speaker A: Could. [00:51:28] Speaker B: Because then I'll be through with my picture and I'll join you there and we'll get married and we'll have a Mexican honeymoon. [00:51:39] Speaker A: Now, y'all know this happens so many times. That's how a lot of these Hollywood stars, men and women, are like married three and five times. They just railroad people. They just engulf like. Like what they call that. And like your immune system just surrounds something and engulfs it and just takes it over. That's. That's how they have all these marriages. [00:52:02] Speaker B: Doesn't that sound divine? Oh, I've got to call the papers. This story I think should go to. To Hedda get me head of Harper. [00:52:18] Speaker A: So let's look at the intro of the daughter. Right. And so remember Hedy Lamar's character still, Vanessa, still have. Has no idea that they know each other. [00:52:30] Speaker B: Yes. Chris and I are going to be married. What? I want you two to love one another as much as I love both of you. [00:52:46] Speaker A: Why is cuckoo. Cuckoo Loops. So a lot of drama goes on after that. And so now we see that they are at the set. Okay. Whether the first scene took place. And some more shade with Jan Sterling, which was fantastic. I loved it. [00:53:10] Speaker B: I just talked to her. She's going to make the wedding announcement to tonight after they Finish. I didn't mean for this to happen, Chris. I didn't mean to fall in love with you either. But I did. And it's hell. Last week I was just a rebellious kid trying to find out about life. No. All of a sudden I'm growing up and I want to say kind of miserable. Are you in love with her? Or is she just going to have everything her way, as usual? [00:53:50] Speaker A: This poor man. [00:53:51] Speaker B: Last night when she came home, she. She was different. I've never seen her like that before. I really think she does love you. Probably about the first time she's ever loved anybody but herself. And I don't know how you feel, Chris. And I've got to know. I can't go on like this. [00:54:15] Speaker C: Honey, you know I don't. Yes, you do. Look, it's just that when I'm with her, I can't explain to her that. [00:54:22] Speaker B: How effective. Vanessa's introduced you to it last. Hello, Jeff. [00:54:29] Speaker A: Evening, Ms. [00:54:29] Speaker C: Brain. [00:54:30] Speaker B: Could I have a couple of hot dogs? Oubiette here with plenty of mustard. And a hot pastrami for Francois and a very large dill pickle for me. [00:54:38] Speaker C: Coming up, Ms. Fr. [00:54:47] Speaker B: I've been looking for you, darling. Want to have a little chat. But perhaps I should have made an appointment. I was just leaving. You do play with fire, don't you, love? Personally, I like a young man with initiative. Get so bored with these local sunburned, pseudo vero types. Get a girl all confused and leave her that way. That's not the purpose of my little visit. I want to make a date with you. [00:55:17] Speaker C: A date? [00:55:18] Speaker B: Why don't we have cocktails tomorrow and talk everything over? [00:55:22] Speaker C: I haven't got anything to talk to you about. [00:55:24] Speaker B: Nah, I can raise the ante. Marriage alone isn't the top bin. [00:55:30] Speaker C: What are you talking about? [00:55:31] Speaker B: Red head is going tonight. I must admit, you're a little smarter than I thought you were. But I'm realistic. I grant that there are certain charms in this deal, but I'd be a lot more understanding of Vanessa. And you would need a lot of understanding. [00:55:52] Speaker A: Wow. [00:55:56] Speaker B: Wouldn't you, dear? [00:55:57] Speaker C: Nothing, Miss Frayne. Why don't you crawl back into the woodwork? [00:56:02] Speaker B: I beg your pardon? [00:56:05] Speaker C: I accept the apology and thanks. Thank you several times. [00:56:14] Speaker B: This wave should be separated a little more, don't you think? Chris, you're early. Is Benny with you? [00:56:22] Speaker C: No, I. I want to talk to you alone. [00:56:25] Speaker B: Oh, well, we're all through anyhow. Thank you. [00:56:32] Speaker A: Guys, I think I'm gonna stop it right there. I want you to go finish looking at this movie. Yes, she can be mad with me, could be furious with me. You can waste time doing that or go look at it on YouTube and finish watching it and tell me what you think. Because if I go too much for further, I'm gonna give it away. And you know, I cannot stand spoilers. All right? You know, I cannot stand it. So go and finish looking at it. Is. It's you tell me what you think about the ending. Did you, did you anticipate the ending? Did you, what was it realistic? Let me know in the comments. And I so appreciate you hanging out with me for this episode of Late to the Party. Cougar Fantasies Part 2 or Kept Man Blues Part 1. The female animal, starring none other than Hetty Lamar.

So you just got to be surprised. So I'm. So just tune in next week. That's what you got to do. Or, I'm sorry, on the 29th. That's when we will be together again.
