And

They were so crazy that I was like, are these real stories or whatever?

But I would see.

like the fear in her eyes and like the, the emotions that these just telling the stories would invoke, you know, in her.

And so I, I didn't ever really push it too far on that, but she, when she brought it up, I would definitely, you know, listen and talk.

But the stories about, um, her mom, the fact that here's the thing with the Netflix to back up.

So the problem with the Netflix show was after, you know, um,

seeing a bunch and being disappointed in a lot of the different projects and stuff.

They were, um, they came to me at a time when I was helping my mom through chemo and radiation and they started coming on really strong and pitching saying, Hey, we'd like for you to do this.

We'd like for you to do that and stuff.

And I said, well, you know what?

Right now it's not really a great time for me, but I'll tell you what I'm going to do for you.

I said, I will tell you in a list, if you want to write down names or whatever, of who the good people are to talk to and who the bad people, and who really didn't play a part in her life, who's been on these other things.

And that's why I'm leaning towards not doing this.

And they were like, oh, oh, well, you know.

And they got on the phone in a Zoom call with this director, and they were giving me the pitch that this was going to be a female director who would totally give Anna a totally different look about one of the most –

misunderstood iconic women in, in pop culture history.

And I was like, well, now you got my attention, you know, but I'm still dealing with this personal thing with my mom.

And so I said, I just don't know if this is going to fit right now.

And then it was kind of like, well, we can help you with your mom's cancer.
