And there was a lot of rules just to keep them safe. And that, you know, they went on to be, you know, in real estate or dance instructors or insurance salesmen saleswomen or it was just very i wanted to know what happened after and a lot of them got married and and reconnected with their children you know they had children while they were working and and like that scene with billy
I always say we are going to have to beg forgiveness to our adult children, all of us, that there's just no perfect way to do it and no perfect way to be a parent. And when our adult children, we can actually sit down with them and talk to them about their experience. I think that's a really important conversation. And it doesn't always go well for either party, but it's a start.
And I think it's something anybody can relate to in any business.
Tell me what she said.
That show's doing it really well, so... I mean, who puts money into a circus that's not Cirque du Soleil, right? That's dumb.
And also, no, you did not. Yeah, I did. No, you didn't. You guys, our show is legendary.
That's what makes it so special, the fact that it's the last one. It's a show. Costumes. Sets. Look, it is a dinosaur, Shelley.
Are you kidding? You heard this from Muffy?
Yeah, I mean, that probably was about money. I mean, I didn't do this project for money. I did it for the experience. And yes, I feel like when you're a part of pop culture, it's a blessing, but it's also a little bit of a deficit. You have to prove to people, first of all, that you're human and then that you're capable of doing more and being in this industry.
And I've taken it upon myself to completely... peel it back. I want people to see me as a person and then as an actress. And all my life experience was just research. It was boot camp. So I was learning as I went. So I, you know, people don't realize that, you know, when I was shooting Playboy covers, I was also
at Samuel French, sitting on the ground and reading, you know, Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill and Sam Shepard plays, wondering, how do I get from here to here? And it wasn't that I was ambitious.
I was just very curious about life and this industry, and I was taking acting lessons, and I worked with an incredible acting teacher, Ivana Chubik, who I worked with for a very long time, but, you know, really I had nowhere to put it except for Broadway when I played Roxy in Chicago, and this... character in this film and the other two films that I've done this year too.
But I feel like I'm on the right track. And it's hard because it feels like two steps forward, one step back. I remember just doing this last film with Karim Anouz, this film called Rosebush Pruning. And I was doing a scene where I was jumping into a swimming pool. And I said, this is it. I'm jumping into the pool. I'm letting all of my life go. Everything that has happened in the
bring it with you, baby. And I was like, yes, I'm going to bring it with me. I just got chills from head to toe. I said, that's so much easier. And you're right. I'm not ashamed of my life. I, of course, in hindsight, might have done things differently, but I needed the life experience to teach me that. And I don't come from a family of actors or artists or cooks or anything.
I really had no references and no guidance. So this has been Wild Westing it up till now.
When I was younger, I kind of had given up. You know, my family fell apart for certain reasons, and that really hit me hard. And I couldn't get out of the tabloid world. And I know I fed into the character, but I really was at a loss. So I just turned a blind eye to a lot of things. This character, this cartoon character kind of was created alongside me.
So I still find that it's not only my past, but the past that has been presented in tabloids, which is sensationalized and a lot of it is untrue, but the truths are bad enough. So I always hate to correct people when people say, oh, you've been married this many times. I go, no, it's this many times. I know that's still not something to brag about, but it's just best, worst.
He masterminded it. Him and Dylan. Dylan is Brandon's ride or die. But Brandon is a great producer and a great visionary. And they're very close in age. They're only a year and a half apart. And it has been an incredible experience to work with them as well. I never thought that would happen. That wasn't my intention when I had kids.
I didn't think they were going to grow up and be so instrumental in my career. I would never want to take up too much of their brain power. I mean, they have their own dreams, their own businesses and their own lives, and you never want to be a burden to your kids.
So I struggled a little bit with that in the very beginning, but I thought, okay, as long as this is fun and you're enjoying it and fun. And again, we all question all of that. We question everything as parents. Just want to make sure this is the right move for them to do. But it seems Brandon, he brought me the film. I mean, people went to him because he produced the documentary.
