George Clooney

It's sort of like a bug light.

You know, you run as fast as you can towards fame because it means options and work and no longer having to audition and all those things that are really exciting.

And what you don't realize along the way is that there are also drawbacks to it.

And those things you have to, you know, come to terms with along the way.

Well, I knew my aunt mostly by rumor.

You know, I lived in Kentucky in a little small town.

She lived in L.A.

in Beverly Hills.

And she'd come to Kentucky three or four times in my growing up.

So I knew her like, here comes the star, Aunt Rosemary.

But I didn't really know her.

And so how I found out about sort of her life...

And the struggles that she had was, first of all, through, you know, family telling us, but then also she wrote a book and talked about it, which was about her struggles because, you know, she was really famous by the time she was 16 years old.

They were the Clooney sisters and they sang on television and then moved on to have her own solo career.

And, you know, pop music at that point, I think eight of the top 10 singers were women in the

very early, late 40s, early 50s.

And then rock and roll came in, Elvis came in, and the top 20 were all men.

And she was out of the business.

She didn't suddenly lose her skill.

She didn't stop being a good singer.
