And then she said before long, our producers let all the actors sit at the table.
A new tradition started with our show.
And so I think you can sort of see some of the shades here about what's going to happen with her experiences on 227.
Yeah, so around the time that the play is ending its run, she runs into Norman on the TV lot.
And he ends up going to see 227 on the last night of the show.
And then after, he asks to schedule a meeting with Marla.
And then he suggests that they turn it into a Broadway play.
Marla said that she saw it more as a movie of the week.
Together, they work to...
pitch CBS to consider broadcasting the play and then CBS passes on that and then Marla sort of notes that like NBC Entertainment president at the time Brandon Tartikoff had seen the show 227 also and he was one who suggested it to be a TV series and so she kind of notes that you know
while we were working to get the television rights to the play 227, producer Roy Campanella was also attempting to do the same.
In fact, Christine, who's the playwright, told me that she'd already promised the rights to him, and Christine decided to have us all share the rights because she wanted to have them as well.
And that's where the conversation about the rights sort of peters out in the book narrative, and so it kind of is a little bit unclear, and it kind of also...
paints a picture of why what happened with Marla happened the way that it did.
Yes.
Yeah, and Marlet really bristled at that.
She said, there's been a lot of representation of, like, single motherhood, and I wanted to present something different.
I wanted my daughter's character to have a father.
And she also wanted her character to be on even playing field with all the other characters.
She was more interested in being more working class.
