Were you the dominant one?

Are you still?

What intrigues me is this high-achieving, athletic young woman who obviously is a business genius, has made billions and been very generous with it, and is a committed Republican, is your oldest and in many ways one of your dearest friends.

You love her.

and yet you are none of these things.

No, I'm the opposite.

So I'm interested that you are comfortable to have a friend.

I imagine you never talk politics.

But it means you're quite a giving person, and she's a giving person too.

Going back to the 1950s, give me a flavor of you as a little girl, this fairytale life you had.

What would be a day in your life?

What time do you get up?

What do you have for breakfast?

What is school like?

What's going on?

And at school, did that make you unpopular with the teachers and popular with the children?

And in your head, what sort of person were you becoming as you went from the 50s to the 60s, as the teenage years approached?

How did you think of yourself?

It's a schoolgirl story.

Oh, a girl detective.
