Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Metaxis. Hey there, folks. You may remember my previous conversation with Mallory Millett. I thought, you know what, let's just keep going. It's too much fun. Mallory, I don't know how to sum you up.

There's no way to sum you up. You're a fascinating person. You're a person of devout Christian faith. You love your country. And we normally talk about that kind of thing. But last time we were together with our friend, Anne Colter, and your husband Thomas, who's here, we were talking about Hollywood stuff. And I just thought you've had so many experiences with so many people that are really,

you know, bold print celebrity names. I mean, Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor. these are not you know minor figures so why don't we start there i mean you were acting very early and you said already in the 60s you were studying acting on the same street as the studio well no i was i was not studying acting in the 60s here okay i was um i think i studied with lee uh that was um in the 80s i believe lees drasberg was still teaseds but i was still teasedsberg was still teaching teaching in the 80s? Well, he died in 1982, so it couldn't have been that. It was before he did. Because if this is the mid-80s, it was just before he died. I just got ahead to break it to you.

That wasn't Lee. So he died in 82. He stars in the Godfather. I'm sorry, he doesn't start on the Godfather, but he has a role in Godfather, too. He plays Hyman Roth. And but Marlon Brando studied with him, all the greats, it seems to me, or a lot of the greats from that era, Paul Newman. They studied with Lee Strasbourg. Well, wait now, Marlon did not really like the actor's studio. He studied with Stella Adler. And Stella Adler was a whole different kettle of fish. Stella Adler and Lee Strasbourg became rivals, tremendous rivals. Okay, I forgot that. So the method, that was Stella Adler or Lee Strasbourg? That was Lee Strasbourg. Okay. So I know Marilyn Monroe studied with Lee Strasbourg. and because we've had Johnny Russo's been on this program.

He had a role in The Godfather, and he was just talking about, you know, that all happened on this street here in New York City. But so all these greats studied with Lee Strasbourg, or Stella Adler, but you knew Brando. So let's just go back to Brando. How in the world did you meet Marlon Brando? Well, it was again the Minda effect. We call it Minda Land. Okay, this is the woman that you met in the 80s. Yeah, I met her in 1968 when I came back to America.

And when I left Manila, everybody in Manila said, you have to look up Minda Feliciano. She knows everybody in Hollywood. She will introduce you to everybody. It will be a really quick in. Okay, so you are very young. It's 1968. Yeah. And she introduces you to Marlon Brando?

Yes. Yes. Well, actually, her girlfriend, there were two girls, Marie and Minda, that were Filipino girls who hung around together all the time. and Maria had had a long history with Marlin. They had been on again, off again, lovers for a long time. She ended up having a baby with him. That's another whole story that I can tell sometime, but it takes up too much time. It's a very meaty story.

A very meaty story? What the heck does that mean? Marie and Marlin. Listen, we're friends. I don't know what you're talking about. What does that mean? They had a baby together. A pithy story.

A lot of people, they can assume how that happened, but there's more to the story. Oh, well, he denied paternity, which, of course, he was the father of the child. There was no question about it. We see, I also denied paternity, but here's the issue. I'm not the father of that child. So in my case, it's not inappropriate. But in his case, he was trying to avoid paying. And the thing is that they had agreed to have a baby together.

They had plotted this baby. They had planned this baby. So now when I meet her, she has... Was it a handshake deal or did it go farther? Oh, no. When I meet her, she has this four-year-old. year old daughter and I have a four-year-old daughter. Did the four-year-old daughter look a lot like Marlon? Not really. No. She had a weight problem like Marlon. But when I met Marlon, he was still

slender. He had not gotten fat. He was still very sexy and gorgeous and absolutely a movie star when I met him. And Marie and Marlin had this classic, wild, mythic, I don't know, legend relationship where they just, I saw them, I watched them throw whole sets of China at each other. Isn't that sweet? Isn't that? You know what? St. Paul talks about that. It's just a beautiful thing when people become one and they throw China.

The vitriol and the passion and the sexual magnetism between these two people was just beyond distracting. I mean, you could hardly conduct a life around these people at all because it was one, crazy melodrama after another. And I got, would end it up in the middle. I ended up being the one that Marlon is calling at 2 o'clock in the morning saying, do you know where she is? I can't find

her anywhere. Can you imitate Marlon Brando? What? I love the idea of Marlon calling you up in the middle of the night. Oh, constantly, he called me to find out where she is. Marlon had a thing about talking on the phone, and he would call you at midnight, and at 9 o'clock in the morning, you would still

be on the phone with Marlon. You would be on the phone with Marlon. I would have hung up. You couldn't get away with that. You hang up, he'd call you back. Well, you know, you can take the phone off the hook. You probably aren't aware of that technology. You can take the phone off the hook.

But, okay, so Marlon, you're in this world with these people. And of course, Marlon Brando in 68 at this time, he is a, it doesn't get very much bigger than Marlon Brennan. But he had run, he'd run his career into the ground. I mean, when you think about his big stuff, you know, when he was working on, well, all the classic films with Elia Kazan. But by the later 60s, he couldn't get work. And why? Well, first of all, he hated Hollywood.

Despise it with a red hot hatred. Not only that, but are you ready for this? I don't know. Am I? This is going to be, this is quite a revelation. I don't remember this children listening. Marlon Brandel loathed acting. Yeah.

Loathed it. Hated Hollywood. Why? Hated the whole acting world. Hated Broadway, hated movies. Why? Didn't want to ever act again. Because he used to say to me, Mallory, it's fine for a woman.

It's a feminine profession. You might be able to get somewhere in it and you might enjoy it. But for a 44-year-old man, he was 44 at the time, for a 44-year-old man to have 20-year-old kids who don't know anything about anything, giving him order. and telling them when they can work and where to stand and how to speak and how to do. I've had it. I'm a man. I need to have a manly life. You know what I'd like to be?

You know what I'd give anything in the world to be? And I'd say, what, Marlon? You know, I'd sit there and I'd say, you know, I'm sitting here listening to Marlon Brando. Complain. Yeah. And nobody's ever going to believe me. I mean, you're blowing my mind here. And he said, you know, I'll tell you, he said,

if I had my druthers in this world, I would be the first vice president of Prudential Life Insurance Company. And I'd go, that's hilarious. He was very smart and funny, but that is hilarious. Well, he's basically saying, I want a normal life. I want a normal life. I want to go to work and come home and be done with it. I just want to have a normal family with some kids and live like a normal person.

I can't stand this. Tohidi. No. When did he do, what year did he do mutiny on the bounty? Do we know? That's way before you met him. That's like the early 62, 63. Something like that because that's, I think it's before I went to Asia and right about, I think I might

have been in Asia when he did. I mean, I'm just thinking that was when he met the woman. Tarita. That he married? Yes, he did marry Tarita. So he married her and had children with her. Yes. How many children did he?

He had 12 children in total. That he was willing to acknowledge? Yeah. And as a matter of fact, he finally acknowledged Maya, Marie's daughter. My daughter and Maya were very dear friends. They played together. We lived around the corner from each other. But he had always denied paternity.

And now Maya was around 12 years old, something like that. And one day I got a call from her, and she said, Marlon is going to have Maya over to his house, and he's going to tell her that he's her father. I said, oh, my gosh, how did that answer? You're kidding me. She said, no. And he wants Kristen to come with her.

Now, my daughter was Christian. My daughter. So she had to be in the middle of this melodrama? So she said he'd like Kristen and Maya to come to the house together, and he's going to include Kristen in this crazy scene. You know what? I would like Kristen to be there. if we can arrange this when I tell my daughter that I'm her father.

Now, she already knows that, but I still want Kristen to be there when I repeat it. We're going to be right back, folks talking to Mallory, Millett.

I'm talking showbiz. Showbiz. Showbiz anecdotes. Completely fluffy, nonsensical and fun. And I have my friend Mallory Millett, Danahur, Mallory Millett.com. Mallory, look, you have so many stories. So you were friends, good friends with Marlon Brando, who grew to be the size of a house at the end of his life. I mean, it's kind of an amazing thing.

Orson Wells, Dan Aykroyd, there are certain people that they just blow up beyond reckoning. You try to imagine what, excuse me, what's going on over there. But you knew him when he was thin. Oh, he was glamorous. He was beautiful, beautiful human being. I mean, beautiful. physically. Physically.

And, you know, as an actor, sometimes I always wonder what's the big deal about certain people, and then you see something. When he was in, I guess it was Julius Caesar, when he does the... Friends Romans Country. When I saw that,

I thought to myself, now I get it. I just thought to myself, I never really had seen whatever that was, the Genesecois. about him. I mean, everybody knows he's a great actor, but where you finally see like, oh my goodness, he's a genius.

But you saw the human side of him. So in the late 60s, he's calling you up. You said during the break that you talked to him out of suicide. Oh, yeah. Marie would call me, and she'd say, I'm up in San Francisco right now, and it would be midnight or something. I'm up in San Francisco right now,

and Marlon's home alone, and he's going to kill himself. and you've got to get over there right now. And I'd go, Marie, it's midnight, it's Marlon. He's, you know, please. Mallory, you've got to go there now. You've got to get in your car and get up there right this minute. So I would do that. I would tutel on up to Marlon's house.

And this is where? Up on Mulholland Drive. Yeah. 12,900 Mulholland Drive was his address. I remember it very well. And I would go up there and there I would find Marlon. And he would be, you know, Marlon was an alcoholic. This is something that nobody in the whole world ever knew.

Nobody knew he was an alcoholic. It was never said about him. You've never heard it said about him, right? You don't hear that, no. No, he had a terrible problem with alcohol, and he would be up there all alone with a bottle of booze. Would he be wearing a kimono or a dress or something? No, no.

But he had a raccoon who lived in his bathroom. He had a raccoon named Emma that lived, closeted up in the bathroom. So, I mean, Marlon was not. Why did Marlon have a raccoon in his bathroom? And when you say anything, it sounds to me like some kind of a dirty euphemism. He had a raccoon in his bathroom, if you know what I'm saying. No, no. He had a raccoon closeted in his bathroom just saying.

I have no idea what Emma was doing in the bathroom. Why did he have a raccoon named Emma in the bathroom? I can't tell you. I have absolutely no idea. It was instead of having a dog. I have no idea. I used to ask him and he'd just laugh. No, he just, I don't have no way.

Okay, but so you'd visit him and he... I'd go up there and I'd talk to him. I'd keep him from killing himself. I'd be there for four hours. Why would he want to kill himself? Oh. I don't understand. Well, first of all, alcohol is a depressant.

Yeah. And people who drink a lot of alcohol are generally depressed all the time. You are now, and I've known you for years, you're a woman of serious Christian faith. Were you a serious believer in those days? Was that part of the strength that you brought? So no. You were just a friend. I was very new agey then.

Uh-huh. I had a guru in Manila, you know. You had a guru in Manila. Yeah, yeah. That sounds like another dirty euphemism. Hey, you remember that girl? I'm worried about your mind there. She had a guru in Manila.

Do you know what I'm talking about? No, so wait a minute. Come on. You had a guru of Manila. Okay, so you're into the new age, but you'd go and you'd talk to Marlon and Brenner. You know, I don't mean to make life. of this, this is horrifying, so he really wanted to kill himself. Oh, definitely. Oh, he wanted to be dead. He hated his life. He was so miserable.

What's the last connection? When did you stop being friends with him? Well, you know, I really needed so much to be able to make a living. And my friend Mindas, husband, was a man named Leo Gild, who was a gossip columnist in Hollywood and very, very well-known. and Leo was worried about me too. He'd say, we've got to figure out a way for you to make a living. And one day he called me up, and he said, I want you to come to a meeting with me today. I've got an idea for you. So I go to this meeting in Hollywood with a man, and I've never gotten it straight what this man's name was.

I keep thinking it was Huntley-Buntly. I keep trying to remember this man's name. It was sort of like Mercedes-Benz or, I don't know. It was one of those crazy names, something like that. And Leo ushers me into this room with this man, and this man starts telling me that they run confidential magazine. And they wanted to have, you know, remember Rona Barrett? Unfortunately. Rona Barrett had this five-minute show that went along with the evening news every night.

It was a gossip show. I remember Rona. They wanted to have a rival to Rona Barrett. And they wanted me to do a five-minute nationwide broadcast of gossip running along with the evening news. like R. Corey Hay. Yeah, and they offered me this job right off the bat. They said, we're going to do a pilot. We're going to work on it for six weeks,

and we'll pay you $1,000 a week. I hadn't seen $1,000 in, you know, I don't know how long. I was flabbergasted, and yet I wanted to be a serious actress. I was into this thing where I was going to be a great actress and all of that. And so I kept saying to these people, I can't do that. I mean, nobody would offer. Rona Barrett or Roll on Broadway, it would be a joke. Nowadays, you could do stuff like that, but then, no, that was not loud.

And I said, I can't do this. I mean, I was heartbroken. I needed the money so badly. But I said, you know, my mother would die. She would kill me. If I ended up a gossip colonist on the evening news, my mother would never speak to me again. Right. I mean, I just, I can't do it.

I can't do it. So Huntley-Buntly said to Leo Gild, take her to the Brown Derby, buy a big, wonderful lunch for her, and talk her in. to it. So Leo took me off to the Brown Derby and we're sitting at the Brown Derby, which is where all the stars were, it was this fabulous restaurant. And he's saying, look at this place. If you take this job two months from now, everybody here is going to be coming and kneeling at your feet. They're all going to want to be. I said, I can't do it. My mother would never speak to me again. You have to understand. I've got this mother that you don't cross. And he just, you know, he said, Mallory,

are you crazy? Listen to me. You're a lousy opportunist. I said, why? He said, look, people are offering to pay you $1,000 a week for six weeks. And then at the end of the six weeks, it's a redo. Like you can both decide. Both sides can decide whether to go on together or not. They'll have gotten the pilot out of you, and they'll be able to use that, and they can go hire somebody else. Just take the $6,000 and run if you want to do that. But at least you'll have money.

And I went, oh, my God, I'm so crazy. Why didn't I think of this? And he said, let's do that. So we went back to Huntley-Buntleys, and I have no idea what this man's name was. You're making me wonder, who was this guy? And we told him I would take the job. So I go home and I'm going to have this job where I make $1,000 a week. I'm so excited.

I'm so thrilled. And at midnight, my phone rings. Let me guess. Is it Marlon? Marlon. And, you know, the way you knew it was Marlin is you'd pick up the phone and there'd be this breathing. He never announced himself. He would just be sitting there.

I say, Marlon, I take it. It's you. Definitely you. You know, he said, I hear you got a job today in this terrible tone of voice. I said, what? How do you know? He said, I know everything that happens in Hollywood, Mallory. You've got to get used to this.

I know what's going on. You've accepted this job to be a gossip columnist. Are you crazy? Why would you have anything to do with a man like Leo Gild? He's the lowest of the low. career suicide. So he's yelling at me. He's saying, how dare you?

I said, okay, okay, here's what your problem is, Marlon. You're paranoid and you think I'm going to sell you down the river because I've been so close to you and I've been involved in so many intimate moments with you and all kinds of personal, seriously deep personal experiences and traumas and dramas. You think I'm going to use that. And he said, no, no, I said, yes, that is. Marlon, I know you, this is what you're worried and upset about. And he said, no, it's not.

No, it's not. You want to be a serious actress. You're a phony. You don't want to be a serious actress. You just want to get famous. I said, no, I don't. I'm going to do it and then quit after six weeks. And he said, no, you're just, you know, you should go to the actor's studio.

If you want to be an actress, go to New York and be a serious student of the theater and learn everything about how to be a great actress if you really want to do that. Right. But don't have anything to do with Leo Gild and don't do a stupid cheap thing like this. You're above this. You're too good for this. I don't want you to do this. So we're screaming at it.

At this point, we're screaming at each other. We're interrupting each other. Now we've gotten into a thing where we're each hanging up on the other. One of us is hanging up and then the other one would call them back. And then the other one to hang up and then call them back. And this went on for several hours. It went on half the night. And then that was it.

I sent him a telegram the next morning that said, your mother wears combat boots. Did you eventually... I quit the job the next day. But I'm saying with Marlon, did you ever shake hands and makeup? No, I never saw him again. You never saw him again? No, because within two days, I had left.

That's another whole story. Wow. I had left for New York City. He told me to go to New York City and study, and I listened to him. And you never talked to him again when he was famous in the Godfather and all that you never talked to him. No, no. Okay, folks, when we come back, we're going to find out why. Don't go away.

Wait, I wanted you to shed my own down. It's been you. Tell me why Relief Factor is so successful at lowering or eliminating pain. I'm often asked that question just the other night. I was asked that question. Well, the owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal. And I agree with them.

Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. That's the point.

Folks, we're talking about Marlon Brando, and then we're not talking about Marlon Brando. Either way, you win. Hey, we're talking, Mallory Millett, we're talking to you about your relationship with so many

of these celebrities. It's almost, it is comical. It's amazing because you're a serious person. and you've had these amazing experiences. And I don't look for this. I've never looked. I've never wanted to meet celebrities particularly. Well, look, let me just.

And it just keeps happening in my life. But God has his hand on your life. Yeah, he can't get into that right now. But that's a fact. Yeah. And he's used you in dramatic ways. You said you wanted to finish up something about Marlon. You said that you had something else to say.

Well, the thing that really broke my heart was what ultimately did happen to him, because with all these children and all this great. craziness with his son, murdering dog, his daughter, Cheyenne's fiance. And Mylan had this gorgeous daughter, Cheyenne, that he had with Trinette.

The Cheyenne was the daughter. Anybody who's seen, they should see his mutiny on the bounty. It's spectacular. And he plays Fletcher Christian. And of course, this is historically true. It's a true story. But, yeah, so

making that film, he falls in love with this woman. To read it. who is a Tahitian. So gorgeous. And has a child. Several children with him. Several children.

And one of them is Cheyenne, who is the most exquisitely beautiful girl you ever laid eyes on. Okay. So Marlon's son murders his daughter's husband, fiancé. Fiance. I remember when this hit the tabloids about 30 years ago, whatever it was, it was horrifying. Well, and I knew Christian from the time. He was about five years old. But he... You know, we joke, excuse me.

We joke around, you know, about these glamorous lives. There's such pain. I remember Dick Cavett said this once. He was talking, maybe it was when Elizabeth Taylor died, because he knew all these people. And Dick was talking about how, you know, when you know them close up, there's tremendous pain. He says, I wouldn't trade places with them because there's alcohol,

abuse and misery and drug addiction. And people don't see that side. You saw that side. It's hell. I mean, Shelly Winters really wanted me to be a star. And she ensconced me in that house for two years and gave me exact instructions of how to conduct myself in Hollywood and who the people were that she would introduce me to and everything. This is the 70s. Yeah, and I never followed her direct.

I never did what she went. Because, you know, I didn't want to be a star. You didn't want to take that route. I don't, I've never seen such misery. They leave such wreckage behind them. It is such a terrible way to live. I just never, I didn't really want it. Michael Cain pretty well.

Oh, yeah, very well. Very well. Because my friend Minda nearly married him. Minda and Michael were together for four years. And they would come and they would be in Los Angeles living at Leslie Brickus' house. You know who Leslie Brickus is? Oh, my gosh. Nobody knows who Leslie Bricketts is except Eric Metaxus. Let me tell you, I'll tell you why I know. Joan Collins, your friend was married to Anthony Newley. Yes.

Okay. Anthony Newley, whom I can imitate, but I won't. Don't do it on the program. Leslie Brickett, just about one of my favorite films ever is the Scrooge musical. Written by Leslie Brickis wrote the music for it. And the songs in that Scrooge musical came out in 1970. I saw it in Radio City Musical in 1970 with my father took me. And all I can say, my grandmother took me. And all I can say is that those songs are magical and I've sung them my whole life.

So to think that you knew these people really does kind of amaze me. Oh, I've lived with Leslie and Evie Bricas. I've lived with them. I've traveled with them all over Europe. I've stayed on Minda's yacht with them for weeks at a time. Did you ever meet Albert Finney? No. Because Albert Finney stars as Scrooge in that thing.

He was 34 years old and he plays this old man Scrooge. But it's a great Christmas movie. We watch it almost every year. But the idea that you knew the man who wrote the songs that I've been singing all these years. And he's a darling. Leslie Brickis is a darling. Is he still living? I just love him.

Yes. I think he's still living, isn't he, honey? Yeah. I think he's still living. Yeah. I want to meet Leslie. I want to meet Leslie and Joan Collins. Okay.

Albin, write that down. Okay. But what I was about to tell you is that when Christian Brando murdered Doug Cheyenne's fiancé, you know, I know the room that happened in, you know, the life. The library that happened in is the same room that he had brought my daughter and Maya into to tell them that Maya was his daughter. He told her, you are my daughter, you can use the name Brando from now on. I'm going to take over your education. I'm sending you to a school in Paris to finish your high school and you're going to go on to college. I'll take care of everything.

I'm going to take care of everything. I'm going to be your father from now on. And my daughter was a witness to this scene. She sat and watched the whole thing happen. And so that was the same room that that murder took place. I was so haunted by that that, you know, I'd spent so many hours in that same room, and that was the room that that murder had happened. It's heartbreaking.

I mean, you see these lives, again, they seem to have everything you could ever dream of, Marlon Brando, and then you just see brokenness upon brokenness upon brokenness. It's hard. And you know, Cheyenne is dead now, too, the beautiful girl, his daughter. She committed suicide. That's amazing. And this is truly horrifying. I mean, look, you know and I know, everybody needs the Lord.

They need God. He loves them. And they are just so lost. They're living in a world where they've got everything but what they need. Oh, Marlon had no God, no God at all. You couldn't even get him near that. He was a complete atheist. He laughed at everything.

He had a lot of mockery in him, you know. and he was... I think we're going to a break here. Folks, I'm talking to Mallory Millett. Don't go away. Nefarious.

And all of these characters that come in and out that we think of them as the these silver screen gods and goddesses, and you know them, you knew them. You knew Michael Kane quite well. Yeah. How? Well, my friend Minda got involved with Michael Kane. Remember, she called me up once and she said, guess who's in love with me? I never forgot.

I said, what a great difference. Not guess whom I fall in love with him. Guess who's in love with me? I said, who? She said, Michael Kane. I'm going, what? What is this? She had gone to the Philippines to spend Christmas, and Michael had been in the Philippines filming,

and some friends had introduced her to him, and they got into a big romance. What year are we talking about here? Okay. We're talking about... I'm just trying to figure out what was he filming in the Philippines. I can't think of... We're talking about 67, 68, right in this period. Yeah, I don't know.

And she and Michael got into this four-year romance that was really very intense, very passionate, very kind of difficult. And they would stay at Leslie and Evie Bricketts' house all the time because that's where Michael would stay when he was in Hollywood. Leslie and Evey had a big, beautiful home and up on Tower Road. They're not back in England? I spent, no, no. At this point, they had this beautiful house on Tower Road. And I spent a lot of time at that house for various reasons. Whether Leslie was staying there or not, whether Michael Cain was staying there or not, it was just that we were all part of a little crowd there in Hollywood. And a lot of things went on at Leslie and Evie's house because it was a beautiful place to host parties. In fact,

I spent one evening there at a party with George Hamilton and Robert, what's his name, the one that was married to Natalie Wood, Robert? Robert. Robert Wagner and George Hamilton. And Minda and I spent an evening the four of us sitting together for about four hours. And Robert Wagner and George Hamilton together, they could have made a fortune as a comedy team, those two. They were so funny together. You just died laughing every single minute you were with them. They could not.

They were so witty, so clever, so erudite and so well. Was this before the death of Natalie Wood? Oh, yeah, because Natalie was there too. Natalie was sitting... But she didn't make much of an impression on you. Yeah, well, she did. It was Natalie and Robert and George, and Minda and I sitting opposite them, the five of us. And Natalie was a...

I really got a key into her that night because I was watching her, because she was very nervous about these two attractive women talking to her husband, was seemed to be too interested in Minda and me or something. She was a very, very possessive wife, extremely nervous. Every time he would talk to us, it made her very nervous. Isn't this fascinating? I mean, we're talking about one of the most beautiful, talented women who've ever lived, and she's insecure about Robert Wagner, who I'm not that impressed with Robert Wagner. And I kept wanting to reach over and say, you know what, you don't need to worry about me or Minda.

We're not after your husband. We're not even remotely interested in your husband. But even if you were, was he the kind of? of person who was interested in people who were interested in him? I mean, that's the funny thing. If he were faithful, why would she even think about that? Yeah, probably. I don't know. I have no idea. We never got vibrations like that. We were just five people having a lot of fun together. Just the way we were the other night, you know? There was nobody trying to seduce anybody or anything like that. Not that you know of. Seriously, you've had these so many opportunities with these

people, but it is amazing. Now, Anthony Newley was someone that you knew. Of course, he was married to Joan Collins, but you didn't know him. I never met Anthony Newley. No. And is that because you knew Joan after or before? You know her after? Because I knew Joan afterwards. I met her on Minda's boat. And then she had me staying at her house a lot. I ended up staying at her house a lot. And she stayed at my house now. And I mean, we've had a 35 year, 35 year relationship, Joan and I now. We've been through a lot together. So. Now, she is going to be on this program. I hope so. I'd love to get her on your program. I think she would like to do it, you know.

If she knows what's good for her. Look, if she wants to work in this business, it starts here, okay? You don't kiss my ring, you don't work. No, seriously, I would love to, it would be so much fun to talk to her. But I think. It would be. You two would be a hoot together. You're both so funny. Yeah, a hoot.

No, but it is interesting, though, that you've just known all these people. And you mentioned to me Elizabeth Taylor and Tony Bennett. We don't have that much time left. I want to make sure we get to everybody we were talking about. Well, the Elizabeth Taylor thing isn't so big. It's just that Joan co-starred with George Hamilton in a made-for-TV movie called Monte Carlo that actually Thomas and I started out trying to produce. And Joan was at the height of her dynasty thing.

She just got in the Golden Globe for Best Dramatic Actress on television. But Thomas and I went around trying to raise – well, first of all, we were. We were trying to find a leading man for Joan. No one would do it. No one wanted to work opposite her. She was too old. She was too old. Too old.

Interesting. I mean, we would go talk to these actors. Who's that one that we brought the script up to his? Who? Yeah. Pierce Brosnan? Pierce Brosnan. You know, these people, they all want to interact with 22-year-old girls.

Right. And Joan had just turned 40 or something. something shocking like that, 50 something that, you know, and they were just saying she's all washed up. She's too old. Right. We couldn't find a leading man for her. It was so infuriating. It was just absolutely infuriating.

So you guys were producing movies? Well, no, not really. You were trying to produce movies. You just asked us if we would be interested in being involved in the production. We were kind of trying to help her out. I can't remember. We were talking about. Yes.

Yes. So anyway, they made the movie without Thomas and me. They ended up making a movie. She and George Hamilton co-starred. And the night that it was to be shown on television, Joan had a few people over for dinner. And she had George Hamilton, who co-starred with her, who was at that time cohabiting with Elizabeth Taylor. George Hamilton and Elizabeth Taylor. Wait a minute.

I've never heard this. Yes. Halvin, this is some juicy gossip on the Eric Mataxis show. George Hamilton and Elizabeth Taylor. And Elizabeth Taylor had a big thing. Had a thing. Oh, yeah. Wow.

Oh, yeah. They were together for a while. I've got a thing for Hamilton's tan, but I just can't. He just won't give me the time of day. He also lived in our building. He lived in your building? But wait a second. So he and Elizabeth, she was married eight times.

Yeah. And but you're saying that she had many years, some kind of relationship with George Hamilton. All right, we're going to have to put a pause. We'll be right back to find out more. Isn't that why people tune in? Don't go away. Talking to Mallory Millett. Mallory, I did the same thing with Pat Boone recently. We just talked, you know, showbiz anecdotes. It's just so much fun.

Yeah, he knows everybody. Oh, my God, forget it. He was talking about meeting the queen twice, that kind of thing. But he never shook Mick Jagger's hand. And, oh, boy, between that and the bongo player for Bowie, you've had a life. Okay, so you were just talking about Elizabeth Taylor? Yes. Having some kind of relationship with George Hamilton, which I don't really like to picture.

I'm a Christian. I don't want to picture that. But go ahead. Well, it was this night that the Monte Carlo movie was going to be premiered on television. The late 80s. Uh-huh. Okay. I think.

Is that what it is, honey? Yeah. Okay. So I've gotten all of them mixed up, the 80s and the 90s and the odds. Right. They're all decades. So anyway, so Joan arranged this evening where it was just her, she and the man that she was with at the time and myself and George Hamilton and Elizabeth Taylor

and a few other people. There were maybe, you know, nine people there that night. So this is during the Larry Fortensky period. No. That was her eighth husband. No, she was with George Hamilton at this point. Oh, really? Elizabeth Taylor was with George Hamilton. What do you think of that? They were having a big thing that went on for quite a while. Right. That's so touching. And so I got to meet. I just got to meet Elizabeth Taylor that night. It's no big, you know, big friendship or all kinds of intimate situations together. But I just found it so remarkable that everything I've ever heard about Elizabeth Taylor, you know, that she talks like a sailor, you know, she swears like a longshoreman that she's this tough. I always thought she was this sort of tough woman.

She's nothing like that. Right. She was the most feminine woman I have ever made. in my life. She was so feminine. Even more feminine than David Bowie? He wasn't feminine. No?

What about... He was a guy. So Ziggy Stardust was kind of a guy's guy? Yeah, he was a guy. But a perfect gentleman, you said. A perfect gentleman. With me, he was a perfect gentleman. But Elizabeth Taylor was so feminine.

And they're always going on about her lavender eyes or violet eyes. They didn't look like that to me. They looked just like blue eyes to me. It was this big deal about these eyes. They were very beautiful eyes, but she was just so feminine. And she just had the two of them. And yes. Okay.

She was just very, very sweet. Just two eyes like the rest of us. But a very sweet woman, very, very feminine. You must have seen her in National Velvet with Mickey Rooney when she's just, what, 11 or 12 years old. When I see that film, it is so touching to see her as a girl. Isn't it? It's so moving to see her as a girl. a girl and then when you see her in later films like well the the really the the painful you know

who's afraid of virginia wolf it's so painful and so it's such a cliche of the era that they would do things like that terrible and it's kind of heartbreaking because i think of her as that innocent girl that is just so moving in that film national velvet absolutely beautiful um well so and she's diminutive and feminine? So feminine. I never met a woman more feminine. She was like a flower. Is she the most diminutive woman you've ever met?

Was she teeny weenie? No. She wasn't as tiny as Lisa Shreve, for instance. But she just struck me so different, she was so different from anything people had ever described. I was quite shocked, you know. But...

We're going to drag you into one final segment. Folks, it's a special coda that we're going to have. We're probably not going to be able to air it today or wherever this is taping. We're going to get into a few things that we can't talk about now because we're at a time. Mallory millet.com. Mallory, thank you. Thank you.
