And as we can see in the movie, because Brett Ratner has a bit of a foot fetish, she walks on five-inch stilettos better than any woman in history.

And that she was a great mom.

And all of those things you also can tell in the movie, I think.

And so what Andre told me long ago about her has not changed.

Right.

Well, the first shot is like the... Yeah, the first thing you see of her is her feet.

Yeah, you picture her having feet like Barbie that don't go flat.

But then she doesn't say, wow, it's hard to do this, or this is how I do this.

You know, you don't get any insight into this amazing feat of being on these skyscraper heels.

Because normally...

At that age, women are downgrading to flats or two-inch heels.

Yeah, I wore heels through, like, eight presidential campaigns.

And it's hard.

And at some point, it hurts too much to keep doing it.

But she...

has a steely resolve about it.

I would have loved to hear her secrets on that.

But even on small superficial things like that, we didn't get any insights.

My dad was a police detective in D.C., was in charge of Senate security for 20 years.

And he wouldn't get my sister a job at the Capitol because he said walking on those marble floors was so painful you would get varicose veins.
