Well, it was so much fun and also I'm a big fan of the Devil Wears Prada, yes and Ugly Betty yeah and it had all those elements, but it was a fresh new.

Take for those reasons that you just said, the inclusivity of it was really exciting to be involved with I love working with young actors, and some of them had been it's.

It can be complicated sometimes, but they don't know where the stop signs are.

You know they're just coming there with a lot of energy and they're so excited they want to be to be there.

They do that's fun.

Well, you've had a long friendship with costume designer Patricia field.

I stalked her at the Variety party I, have pictures with her I the fashion which you had the the place on 8th, 8th Street in the village.

Yes, yes, I almost lived there, you were back working together on glamorous.

Yes, she was so busy.

She was only doing me, so we would come with Nancy Gould.

Who was the costume designer for the show and we would come and we'd go shopping.

You know she knows my body really well really yeah yeah.

We spend a lot of time together, make clothes and unclothed oh yeah, and she knows what's right for the character.

She's, always studying the script.

Yeah I admire her so much.

She really changed how every all of us really definitely yeah and not being afraid of color.

You know my friend, Lee Grant.

She wrote a book called I always said yes, I read that book yeah but you're, saying I always say no.

Yes, so I, don't always say no, but I I think that at this point in my life, especially where I want to spend the time and with whom is very important to me, yes and what I want to say, with the characters that I play so I've learned through the years to sort of take a step back and see myself doing something and really register how that feels yeah.

Does that feel right or no I should be over on this trick over here? That feels more me more now, but don't you get into trouble with directors? If you want, if you say no I don't want to stand over here, I want to stand there.

No I I I I like to think at this point: I can collaborate yeah.

So if there's there has to be a reason that I say no and I think well, you know I can't sit on the bench with the kids because they all work for me.
