World News Tonight right after Como News 4 at 5 o'clock every week night.
Her boots are made for walkin' and her figure is made for perfection.
Nancy Sinatra is stepping straight from the steamy pages of Playboy
and into the white-hot spotlight of a whole new career.
Get one step ahead on what's next and take a stroll through a star-studded path
filled with personal stories about the biggest names in showbiz.
Are you ready, Boots?
If you thought she revealed all in Playboy, wait till you see Nancy Sinatra.
Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the latest issue of Playboy Magazine
and, whoa, gracing the cover and the inside pages,
the daughter of one of the most powerful and respected entertainers of all time,
the legendary Frank Sinatra.
Now, our guest today became a 60s icon after her huge hit record,
These Boots Are Made For Walkin'.
And right now, those boots are walkin' right out on our stage
here in the Broadcast Center, New York City,
for her very first in-depth, exclusive broadcast television interview.
Please welcome the actress, the singer, and now Playboy centerfold, Nancy Sinatra.
Hi.
Hi, Penny.
Just stand up a second.
You're so little. You're so little.
What size are those boots?
Right now, six and a half.
Six and a half.
The rest of you is considerably larger, I noticed.
No, just kidding. Just kidding.
So why did you do Playboy? It's so controversial.
Playboy? Well, you know, we sort of started out together, Playboy and I.
And I guess I just felt it was appropriate at this time.
It wouldn't have been in the 60s, though. That's for sure.
There was one picture, Mike showed me of you with your bikini,
and you're picking it up just like that from back in the 60s,
and I heard it was banned in the U.S.
Banned in Boston.
Banned in Boston, okay.
It's true.
Times have certainly changed.
Haven't they?
So why did you do it?
I needed to really turn things up a little bit because it's very competitive out there,
and I figured, why not? My kids said, go for it, Mom.
As long as they said it's okay.
How old are your kids? Two girls.
19 and 20.
And they said, go for it, Mom?
Go for it.
Now, if your children are 19 or 20, then you are of a certain age.
It is unusual, is it not, Nance, to come back into the public eye in such an altogether way?
Are you embarrassed at all?
An altogether way, yes. Embarrassed a little bit. A little bit.
What did your dad say?
He told me that I should get more money.
You explained to Frank Sinatra what they were paying you, and he said, ask for more?
Double it.
So he didn't scold you? Do you still have that kind of relationship?
There was a minute where he hesitated a little, but no. He understands the reasons for it.
What's been going on in your life recently?
Oh, my goodness. Well, I met a man about a year ago who just insisted that I start working again
because he was a fan of mine from way back.
And he sort of engineered this comeback via reissuing old albums and the release of a new album
and t-shirts and calendars and yada yada. And he's done an incredible job.
And here we are a year later on Geraldo.
That's right. And we're delighted to have you. We really are.
Thank you.
I was a tremendous fan.
When these Booths Are Made For Walking came out, you seemed to almost epitomize that whole era,
the Carnaby Street fashions, the mini skirts, the kind of you were the flip side to Annette Buñuelo.
She was kind of a fifties straight, and you were kind of sixties racy.
It's funny you would bring her up because she, I copied her the first five years of my recording career.
In what sense? Look at that. I can't imagine Annette ever doing that.
Look at that. So cute.
You know, kind of Nancy Nice Lady we used to call her before the Booths thing.
Whose idea was the Booths?
Lee Hazelwood, the writer of the song.
He said, you've been married, you've been divorced. Who are you kidding with this little girl stuff?
He said, why don't you behave like an adult? And my friend Amy's laughing.
It's true. And I didn't know what he was talking about, to be honest with you,
because I was still very naive and innocent and silly.
But he showed me through the songs how to do it, how to bite lyrics and be a little bit nasty,
and a little bit tough.
And strangely enough, even though there were no feminists then, or if there were,
we didn't have the label on it.
Right, definitely didn't.
I sort of started to lead a movement, which I wasn't aware of it then,
but in retrospect I could see it. I could see what happened.
Is the Playboy cover kind of, as it is, rebellious?
Is that a conscious effort to be back to that kind of little bit racy,
well, some people would say quite racy, that kind of tough girl, I'm no Miss Nice?
Nice lady?
Yeah, definitely.
There are two sides to every woman, I think.
Maybe the women disagree with me in the audience, but I think there are.
Actually, I want to ask some of the ladies in the audience what they think about your decision to take it all off.
Let's start with you. Come on, stand up. Go ahead, don't be shy.
What do you think?
I don't know why.
Go ahead, go ahead.
I just don't know why you went for it after all this time, you know,
outside of knowing, I mean, what you said before, that you have to go for it.
Like your children said, go for it.
So I guess if that's what's in your heart, you go for it if you want to try something new.
But you are mildly disapproving.
I'm not disapproving of you, because I've seen you at a different light, you know.
A lady.
Yeah. It kind of disappointed me a little bit.
Oh, sorry.
But I, whatever, you know, whatever your sure thing, that's okay with me.
Is that your husband?
Yeah, great.
It's your husband? Do you have the same opinion?
Friend.
Oh, you do? Oh, I thought you bought the magazine and had it secretly danced away someplace.
Well, you knew that would be part of the reaction, but that's okay though, isn't it?
It's okay.
Controversy is better than nothing.
People don't have to look at it, you know, they don't have to buy it.
But this woman's very kind because she, in essence, said that she respects my right to choose to do it.
Has there been any backlash, though? Any backlash?
I think this type, yes. But I expected it.
I knew it would be controversial, first of all, because of my age, you know, and secondly, because of my name.
Do you want to share your age?
Fifty-four.
I don't know which I can show. I'll show you one without a, oh, here.
Now, that's fifty-four. That's very cool.
Not to mention with the dress also.
But changing the face to fifty.
Changing the face to fifty. I can definitely relate to that.
I'm not the first one, Geraldo. Look at Jane Fonda.
Really? Definitely.
She is amazing to me.
You and Hugh Hefner are friends, are you not?
Mm-hmm.
Did he play an instrumental role in getting you in the magazine?
Not initially. Initially, we went through the proper channels, you know, sort of one step at a time through the organization.
But eventually he did, because there was some concern about doing a cover, another cover, of a middle-aged woman.
And he made the decision to do it.
He called me and he said, I love the cover, I love the pictorial, and we're going with both in the spring.
So he made that choice.
And you never had any qualms about it?
Oh, yes, I did. Are you kidding?
Oh, my God. You have no idea.
Well, tell us.
I was frantic. I mean, it took an awful lot of courage to do this for me, you know.
And people still say, well, why then?
Well, you have to understand the nature of promotion and tools that you need to work with.
And the miniskirt in the 60s was my tool then.
The boots, the short skirt. Well, you know, the skirts can't get any shorter.
So they have to disappear.
You save a lot on wardrobe.
I don't think I'll ever do it again, but that's OK.
And you know, something else, kind of a fringe benefit that's happening is that women my age are saying,
yeah, great, you know, you're striking a blow for us.
So that makes me really happy. This man over here is nodding.
Yeah, it makes him really happy, too.
Do you still wear boots?
I should have worn them today, I guess.
But I just thought I'd try to be a little more conservative.
And my mother said I should look like a lady.
I'll stand up one more time.
So Nancy Sinatra, she's wearing all but her boots, talking about dad, talking about family,
talking about her life and love, the focus of this edition of her album.
From young star to international beauty to Oscar winner.
What's the matter? Don't you think that was funny? I thought it was a screen.
He's truly a living legend.

I have a comment, Nancy.
I love your father, and you're just terrific.
I was having a long-distance conversation with my 42-year-old son last Saturday.
And in the middle, he said, Whoa!
I said, What is this?
He said, I just saw Nancy's centerfold.
He's a subscriber to Playboy.
Is he single?
Yes.
I thought there was a new love interest.
Is there not, Nancy, in your life?
Not yet.
He would love to meet you.
Do you have a 1-800-NANCY number?
Wouldn't it be fun for him to meet Nancy?
Oh, it would be very fun.
I'll have a telling to be sure and watch Monday.
OK, we're going to post the number at the end, all you eligible bachelors.
Now, you married Tommy Sands.
That was when Tommy was kind of like an Elvis...
Teenage idol.
Teenage idol, yeah.
And you two divorced not long after, though, right?
About three and a half years.
Three and a half years.
And then you're, I'm sorry, I forgot the name of your husband.
Hugh Lambert.
Right.
And he passed away in the 80s, right?
85.
And so you've been a widow for 10 years?
10 years.
Hi, Nancy.
Early in the segment, you mentioned that your daughters are supportive of you posing for
Playboy.
My one question to you is what your feelings would be if your daughters themselves posed
for Playboy.
I would kill them.
No, they're too young.
You've got to be, well, I shouldn't say that.
You've got to be 50 to be in Playboy now, a new rule.
No, no, no, I don't mean it that way.
I just think you have to make a very informed decision, because once you do it, it's out
there forever, it's etched in stone, and you can't take it back.
Will you totally nude?
Yes.
Do you want to say it?
Here.
Come here.
Just stand up.
Come here.
What do you think?
Oh.
Here, hold on to this.
Don't pass it around.
Now that you've reinvested in your career, where do you plan to go with it?
I have no idea.
You know something's funny.
If the people don't buy the albums and they don't come to see the shows, this whole thing
is history.
I don't know.
We have to see what happens.
You know, first I'm trying to get people's attention.
Oh, I think you've done that.
Certainly that lady over there in the fourth row.
I don't really have a question.
It's a statement.
I think your girls were right.
I'm very proud of you.
And if there's any question about the negativity, any doubt about you being a lady after this
show, there will not be.
That's it.
Thank you.
What exactly is your relationship with your fabulous, famous dad?
It's perfect.
It's a perfect father-daughter relationship.
I can't imagine anyone having a better relationship.
Growing up, did you feel deprived on the one hand because he was so often gone in the pursuit
of his career?
Yeah, sure.
I did.
My mom said I used to, when I was very small, I used to cry when his voice would be on the
radio.
You know, we'd be in New Jersey and he'd be in Santa Barbara and doing a remote broadcast
from like the Dorsey band or something that I would cry and we're talking about one or
two years old now.
I saw your dad not too long ago in Carnegie Hall.
I mean, he's still fabulous.
His voice still fabulous.
I understand he's slowing down a little bit now.
How is his health?
We're trying to strap him to a chair.
We'd like him to stop.
He's terrific.
As a matter of fact, excuse me, he had a physical two weeks ago and Barbara told me that everything
is checking out 100 percent.
He's in his 80s now?
No.
He's going to be 80.
One of the only interviews I've ever seen him do, you actually conducted the interviews
for Hour Magazine, the late lamented Hour Magazine back in the 80s.
Your producer, Marty Berman.
Marty Berman, our executive producer was executive producer of that program and he helped arrange
that you interviewed your dad and what I want to do now is show an extended clip of that
interview.
Maybe the, I don't know if your dad's going to give any interviews anymore.
He hasn't in years.
I don't know why he would at this stage, maybe he will, but it could be the last interview
he'll ever give of that depth and nature.
So why don't we roll that for everyone.
Here is Nancy and her dad.
Can you be objective and tell me how, what kind of a father you are or is that too tough?
No.
I think you're a wonderful father.
Not too tough, no.
I've been, I have been at times a lax in my, very lax in my duties as a father in the early
days because I was on the road all the time and away once at a time and then right on
top of that kind of lifestyle came the divorce from your mother so that that wasn't very
good as being a father.
But on the other hand, I, you know, always loved you three kids and constantly, 24 hours
a day, worried about you all the time, thought about you, wanted to do more things for you,
but your mother would stop me every once in a while.
She'd say, you're bored enough now, let's not do any more because you're going to spoil
them and all that kind of jazz that went on.
But I think objectively that's the only way I can explain it.
I love being a father and a grandfather.
I wish there were more grandchildren.
I know you do.
You know, with your sister and your brother.
They better get busy.
But they're still in a bullpen somewhere, they can't get about a bullpen.
Okay.
Now, how do you think Frankie and Tina and I have behaved as kids?
How do we...
I think the three of you were pretty good.
I mean, seriously, you know, when you come from a, I think the world understands that
the children are born of a family whose name suddenly becomes nationwide known or even
internationally known, it can cause a problem.
It has a many families that we both know and particularly in California I'm talking about
or in New York, any part of show business.
But I must say in all honesty for you and for Tina and Frankie that you've never disappointed
me.
Neither of you have ever disappointed me.
Nobody's been in any serious problems.
Nothing like that.
And I'm proud of that.
I look at families and I think to myself when I see something about a boy or a little girl
or something where they just go astray, I begin to think about the parents and think
to myself, boy, I'm lucky.
One of my favorite albums was with Gordon Jenkins was September of my years.
Yeah, it was a pretty marvelous album, yeah.
That was the first time for me that I ever came face to face with the possibility of
not having you with me.
Oh, well, that ain't never gonna happen.
No, I'm gonna be around a long time.
Don't worry about that.
You know, I was looking at that baby, they show that they show that shot yet.
That's so cute.
That is so sweet.
That family, that family shot, that's so nice.
Oh, there she is.
Are there still stubborn misconceptions about your father?
People keep writing lies about him.
I don't know why, unless it's to sell magazines or books, they just love to go after him.
I'll never understand it.
That whole, all that mob stuff and...
Well, some of that is accurate, but it's accurate in the sense of the showbiz at that time.
You know, if you worked the night, I'm crying.
If you worked the nightclub circuit, chances are, thank you, you worked for those people.
I don't know what to call them, I mean, but they owned most of the clubs.
And when I was doing my book in the early 80s, the people that I spoke with about it,
they all said, sure, well, I worked for him, too, or I worked for them, or whatever.
My dad just seemed to be singled out as though he would actually do things that mobsters
or wise guys did, which is absolutely ridiculous.
I mean, you know he's not gonna do drug pushing, I mean, you know what I'm saying?
It doesn't make sense.
And the FBI has a file on him that goes from the floor to the ceiling two times.
And it's all the same junk.
I've been through it.
I've seen it all.
And it's just nonsense.
But for some reason, I don't know whether it's people like to hear it, you know, maybe
the Robin Hood thing, or it's the mythical...
You mean the movie that he created with the Rat Pack, that whole...
Well, that idea, you know, maybe that's part of it.
I'm not sure.
It seems like every time he gets knocked down a peg, though, he comes fighting back, and
you know, I always think of the people who can't fight back, who aren't Frank Sinatra
and who don't have that kind of power and talent, you know, are their lives just totally
destroyed?
I mean, you know what I'm saying, what happened?
I think a lot of it had to do just with his ethnic background.
I do believe there's still stereotypes and ethnic discrimination.
And I think Italian-Americans really get the short end of the stick when it comes to...
Oh, your name ends in a vowel, too.
I know.
I get a whole other bundle of baggage.
Did you ever meet the Rat Pack?
I mean, of course you did, but how did you get along with them?
You mean Dean and Sammy?
I mean, were you friendly?
Did you get to know them?
Oh, yeah.
Were they really pals with your dad in the real sense?
Absolutely.
They're like brothers.
Dean and Sammy are...
Talk about Dean.
Talk about Dean first.
Dean was, is still, actually I saw him a couple of months ago, one of the funniest men you'll
ever know in your whole life.
He's got the biggest hands you've ever seen.
He looks like he's wearing catcher's mitts all the time.
He's sweet, he's kind, and I love him.
Love him.
Sammy was...
You can't cry the whole time.
No, Sammy was very special, and my dad used to say, as a matter of fact, my dad captioned
the picture that's in my book, it says, he's holding Sammy up in his arms, and in the caption
reads, he ain't heavy, he's my brother.
Before that was him.
How about Peter Lawson?
Peter Lawson.
Peter had troubles with substances and things, and it colored his life, but he was a dear
man.
I just wish he had been able to break free of the demons that he had.
What about the whole image that your father through the Rat Pack portrayed?
Macho, fiercely independent, iconoclastic, outlaws, was it accurate?
That side of it, yeah.
But there was the other side, too.
It's like these pictures, you know, of me.
The pictures of you.
The yin and the yang of you.
I said that women have two sides.
I guess it's true of all people, probably.
But they had so much fun.
That's why this new book...
Are you having a new book?
What's it called?
Not mine, somebody else's.
Oh.
I don't understand.
Oh, the attack biography of...
Yeah.
I saw the same things, and I saw them with humor.
I mean, they were so funny, and she's turned them into something ugly, and I don't understand
that.
Your father did a song for you.
I think it was for you.
Mike, what's the name of that?
Nancy...
With the laughing face.
With the laughing...
Nancy with the laughing face.
Okay.
Okay, we'll play that as we go to commercial here at Frank Sinatra and Nancy with the laughing
face.
I miss her.
Right there.
Nancy Sinatra.
And gee, what a thrill each time I kiss her.
Believe me, I've got a case for Nancy with the laughing face.

Before I take this young lady's question, did you and the King ever get it on?
I wish I could say yes, but no.
Oh really?
Well, I heard that you that you romance each other back around 1968 you did
That's me. No didn't happen. How come?
No chemistry when I met him. I was 19 and engaged to Tommy fans and when we did the film
He was married and pregnant
He was pregnant also if it was pregnant and and there are very strict rules about that sort of thing
in your family, I
Don't know about my family, but
With me. Yes
Did you flirt? Yeah, there was
There was flirting, you know, but just friendly flirting we actually we we were like the cast and jammer kids
You know, we used to ride a bicycle built for two around the studio the MGM lot and the tourists would go
Wait a second was that
You know and we caused a lot of trouble around the set
This is not a question. This is a comment. Okay. I remember Nancy when she was born
I've been a Sinatra fan for 54 years
How about that and to me she will always be Nancy with a laughing face
She's sweet and she has always been read very very receptive to me and I love you dearly. I love you, too
Better be a mom segment
I just wanted to know I from what I read about her mom
She keeps a low profile. How did she really feel about that the magazine? Yeah
How does mom really feel mom's only concern was that and
As long as it was okay with dad. It was okay with mom to the best of your knowledge. Has he seen it?
I have no idea. I mean you wouldn't want them to see it
I think everybody even though everybody's being very supportive and understanding. I think everybody is going to be happy when it goes away
What you mean when the June issue comes right, okay
Now you and Tommy Sands were friendly for many years after your divorce. Mm-hmm, but you're not anymore. How come?
Well, I don't know if we are or not tell you the truth
He sort of hurt me in a public way by telling some
Untruth the kindest way I can put it on television. And I think I think it was on the show
So we did called American heart throbs
Wasn't it my I?
Think we have a clip show clip. Anyway, wherever it was. Here's Tommy Sands saying some alleged untruths
Maybe not. I have to did you and Nancy break up because of the pressures viewer separate careers
She was doing these boots are made for walking right? Yeah. Well, she did walk all over you. I
Always say that that I'm the inspiration for that song actually
No, we we we split up just before Nancy did boots were made for walking
I think that the fact that we were so young was was a major factor involved in our divorce
We were married for five years. It was a wonderful marriage and and we were just a little bit too young. I think
Oh, that wasn't the hurtful statement. He said that you were born out of wedlock or something like that
Yeah, he said kind of silly things. That's why I can't really be angry with him because
It's public record. My parents were married in February of 39 and I was born in June of 1940
And it's either the longest pregnancy in history or he's got his facts wrong
You know because he did say that that they had my mother had to marry my father, which is not true
Did you ever tell him that it upset you? I told
someone that tried to get in touch with me to
smooth things over
But I never actually heard from Tommy and
Tommy
You know, he's coming right here. Yeah, Tommy. If you want to smooth things over you're gonna have to call me yourself
Tommy you better call
You better call Nancy Sinatra, I'll be right back

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
Oh, we can fly
Yeah, we can fly
I want you to know there was a man in the balloon down in the bottom of the gondola looking right up my skirt
He was working the fire, you know, that makes the balloon go up
It was awful
It's very bad to distract your pilot
Do you feel like your life is flashing before your eyes?
I do, it's weird, it's odd, but it's fun, I'm enjoying it
Can you introduce the ladies and gentlemen in the front row?
Yes, I can. Starting here on the right is my escort officer when I was in Vietnam, my captain, Frank Lavolsi
Frank was with the 11th Cavalry, the tanker division, the guys who used to sing Yellow Ribbon, around her neck she wore a yellow ribbon
And he's my hero, he always will be
Wearing a bronze star in his hotel
Here's some home movies of our lady in Vietnam visiting the troops
That's Frank, see him in the hat?
I see him
Is this in Saigon?
Frank, tell us
That's in Saigon, that's probably one of the first shows she did
She was there about, I guess, two weeks
Three weeks?
Covered from north to south, including a day on a Kitty Hawk
On the aircraft carrier?
Yep, and these were 8mm movies that were saved somehow
How did the troops like her?
I thought she just made a great impression everywhere she went
And I think this is the first time
Is that you?
No, that's Jimmy Boyd
Jimmy Boyd accompanied her to Vietnam
But I want to say publicly right now, Nancy
On behalf of hundreds of thousands of Vietnam vets and their families, men and women
Thank you, you came to Vietnam without any ulterior motive
And you really came there just to help boost our morale
And to show us that people back home hadn't forgotten us
And you never received any recognition or acknowledgement ever
So today, now, thank you
Thank you

Icon from the 60s bearing it all in the 90s
The miniskirt is back and so is Nancy Sinatra
Hi Nancy, I was just wondering if you had fun making the song These Boots Are Made for Walking
My sister and I had so much fun, we wore the record out, we loved it, we danced to it all the time
And did you get some boots?
Oh yeah, we wore the boots, my mom probably was sick of hearing it because my sister and I were all over the house all the time
Do you know that Hugh Hefner told me the same thing, his little boys play that all the time and it's driving him crazy
Didn't see the ATF and the FBI guys play, wasn't that one of the songs they played outside the Branch Davidian compound to drive the cult members out?
Yeah
How do you feel about it's use in that particular context?
I wish it had worked, I wish they had come out
Oh me too, obviously
Is that it? Play it louder
Where you shouldn't have been a-messin'
And now someone else is getting all your bets
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they do
One of these days these boots are made for walking
Applause
I think you look great, you have nothing to be ashamed of
Thank you so much
I'd just like to find out how you stay in such great shape
Oh good question
Well thank you for the compliment
It's two things and I'm very serious about this
But you have to talk to your doctor about it
Number one is herbs, they're wonderful, they're all natural and they give you energy and keep your spirits up
Get into herbs, they're great
And number two?
And the other thing is working out
Although I haven't for the past few months because I've been too busy
But working out is really important
For your health as well, you know, besides toning your muscles
Bootleggers, now what are bootleggers?
It may sound illegal, it's not, there's nothing illegal about bootleggers
They are the fan club for Nancy
They're actually members of Since When, when was the fan club established?
Oh golly, it was a long, long time ago
It's a new name though, we put the bootleggers name on it just recently
Oh okay, now the president and the founder, where's Donna?
Oh hi Donna, how are you?
How many are there, are you bootleggers?
About 300
Oh really, and why?
Why?
Yeah, what is it about Nancy that attracts you to be so loyal and devoted?
She's sweet, she's ahead of her time
And the bootleggers are ahead at that time
Alright, that's good, that's good
Now ladies in the front row, Nancy you want to try?
Do you remember their names?
Next to Frank is Beth Ansley
We were best friends in the third grade and we've been friends ever since
Third grade, really?
Third grade
Was that in New Jersey or in California?
No, California, Warner Avenue Elementary School
And was she snobby and a little star?
She's never been snobby, she's never been the little starlet
She's boringly noble
Oh no, and next then?
Isn't she beautiful?
She is indeed
And next to Bethie is Diane Sappenfield
Diane came into our lives best in mind in what, sixth grade was it?
Seventh
Seventh grade
And so we've been pals for all those years
Has she changed much?
No
She's so wonderful, I mean
Now come on, say something funny
Well, she likes to cry
We know that, we know that
That's a riot
Bethie and I used to hide in the bathroom and smoke cigarettes
Oh, little devil
And finally?
And next to Diane is Amy Green
Amy is the most incredible woman
I mean, she's amazing
Yeah, not only is she beautiful, but Amy started the makeovers
You know the word makeovers
Oh, the makeovers, really?
And Amy is the one who made me over
Alright, let Amy tell us the makeover secrets
Let me take a pause right now
When we come back, Amy will tell us how she made over Nancy to become that icon that we all know
Right there
Nancy Sinatra is bearing all but her boots

Some give you fluffy chit-chat

None strays too far from the beaten path
Fortunately, one radio station gives you something the others don't
It's called Hot Talk
Hot Talk is Kirby Wilbur

Summer can be lonely without your children
Activities such as voting, camping, vacations
Even baseball games become meaningless without the kids
Despite lawful court orders
Many parents have difficulty exercising their summer visitation
It is often withheld for reasons contrary to the children's best interests
You should know that the rights contained in your decree can be enforced
Don't spend your summer alone
If your decree says you get your children during the summer
Then you should have your children during the summer
I'm Mike Gallagher

Very cool
Now that was at the Playboy Mansion?
Uh huh
When?
Jack Haley
So that's the new album?
That was our first time performing in 20 years
I love the skirt
Yeah
I've already been chastised during the commercial break for flirting
So I'm going to withdraw
But Amy, tell us about the makeover
What was she like and how did you seek to change her?
Transform her?
My late husband Milton Green met Nancy and introduced her to Jack Haley
So that's how our romance began
And she was brought to me at Glamour Magazine
I was the beauty editor of Glamour
And she looked like something from California
Mouth?
That was mouth?
Never mouth
But maybe a surfer girl
Mouthy brown hair
But within this mass of brown hair was this sweet little deer face
And we spent two days at Kenneth's
And we made her a lion in Maine
And I remember that when we actually took the photograph
There was a pair of white boots and a pair of black boots
And I said, put one of each on
And then that was part of her act after that
She always had different coloured boots on
Did you ever expect it would be so incredibly lasting I guess?
Yes
Because we're really along the same wavelength
Early feminists
Yep, definitely
And interestingly enough, our husbands in 1985 died within two days of each other
Oh, too bad
So we were both
But then I found Charlie
Charlie, hey Charlie
Charlie, you never had a friend for a dance?
Come on
Yeah, Charlie, what's the matter with you?
Come through
And who's this handsome man?
This is my manager, Hal Lipson
He's the guy that started the whole thing about a year ago
I'm also the man in the balloon with Nancy
No
Went through puberty at 3,000 feet
Joined the Mile High Club right there
I was six years old with him
So, you know, hopefully Mom and Dad will be watching
Do you want to say anything to Dad before I take this commercial?
I love you, Daddy
Aww
Thanks for being there all the time
We'll be right back

This young lady has just—are you Phyllis?
Phyllis just gave me a note that she received from Frank, May 23, 1950
Just a line to let you know that we appreciate your kind letter and thoughtful little gift to Nancy
It was given to her last night, and she was very appreciative, and it goes on—imagine that?
What was the occasion?
Forty-five years ago
You gave her a present for her ninth birthday? Was that it?
How sweet of you! Thank you
You know, Phyllis brought me another present today
She brought me—she was outside when we came in, and she brought me a beautiful pink rose
Thank you
Forty-five years later
Okay, now here's what we have
This is the new album
There it is

It has been delightful
