Your English is wonderful,
Ivan, and welcome to America.

186
00:07:45,697 --> 00:07:48,200
Yes, it's all right, baby.

187
00:07:48,233 --> 00:07:50,502
Now, as I was saying, that

about Yield.

You know that that Yield,
yield, yield, her first hit,

192
00:08:02,247 --> 00:08:05,617
you know where that
came, that came from me.

193
00:08:05,651 --> 00:08:07,553
That came from me.

194
00:08:07,586 --> 00:08:09,188
It was my

00:08:09,221 --> 00:08:10,522
doing.

196
00:08:10,556 --> 00:08:12,591
I signed up for that talent contest.

197
00:08:12,624 --> 00:08:14,493
I bought the damn yellow dress.

198
00:08:14,526 --> 00:08:16,261
You know what she did?

199
00:08:16,295 --> 00:08:18,430
Well, she just picked
up my dress, put it on,

200
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,332
went up there and sang my song

201
00:08:20,365 --> 00:08:21,567
that I wrote.

202
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,836
I sat up and wrote that song.

203
00:08:23,869 --> 00:08:26,505
That's why I'm here in a nurse's uniform

204
00:08:26,538 --> 00:08:29,274
and she's trying to make a comeback.

205

306
00:12:57,209 --> 00:13:00,212

00:13:09,621 --> 00:13:11,857

00:13:11,890 --> 00:13:13,058

Am I late, baby?

313
00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:19,164
I got stuck in

314
00:13:19,197 --> 00:13:21,900
the checkout line at Tar-jay.

315
00:13:21,933 --> 00:13:23,668
Oh, yeah.

Well, thank you.

318
00:13:27,205 --> 00:13:28,173
It seems

319
00:13:28,206 --> 00:13:30,909
- very charming.
- Oh come on now, come on now.

00:13:30,942 --> 00:13:33,645
You ain't got to blow no smoke up my rear.

Y'all come on in the house.

327
00:13:47,826 --> 00:13:49,494
Come on!

328
00:13:49,528 --> 00:13:51,029
Before visiting Jackie's home,

329
00:13:51,062 --> 00:13:53,498
I talked to her daughter, Shaniqua,

330
00:13:53,532 --> 00:13:56,134
about their strained relationship.

331
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:58,503
I wasn't out of the house two hours

332
00:13:58,537 --> 00:14:02,541
before my mother turned my room into a den.

333
00:14:02,574 --> 00:14:07,212
She calls it a den, I
call it a shrine to her ego.

334
00:14:07,245 --> 00:14:08,647
When I was growing up,

335
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,016
my mother's priorities were her career,

336
00:14:11,049 --> 00:14:14,252
her makeup, her hair,
and then her children.

337
00:14:14,286 --> 00:14:17,823
And that's the best
thing I can say about her.

338
00:14:17,856 --> 00:14:21,660
To be fair, she did think
about our hair and makeup.

339
00:14:21,693 --> 00:14:24,830
I got my first wig at age three.

340
00:14:24,863 --> 00:14:26,765
How many kids get that?

341
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:32,204
Tell me about your
elder daughter, Shaniqua.

342
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,174
Come, look at this.

343
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,109
11 gold records,

344
00:14:38,143 --> 00:14:39,311
five Grammys,

345
00:14:39,344 --> 00:14:41,213
three Billboard awards,

346
00:14:41,246 --> 00:14:43,315
all before the age of 25.

347
00:14:43,348 --> 00:14:47,652
It's almost as if you
built a shrine to yourself.

348
00:14:47,686 --> 00:14:50,188
Now, you sound like my daughter Shaniqua.

349
00:14:50,222 --> 00:14:51,323
Let me ask you something.

350
00:14:51,356 --> 00:14:53,191
Who's house is this, huh?

351
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:55,093
Now you think

352
00:14:55,126 --> 00:14:56,170
you go to Whitney Houston's house,

353
00:14:56,194 --> 00:14:59,064
and she got some other
bitch's award on her wall?

354
00:14:59,097 --> 00:15:02,200
Jackie, who paved the way for you?

355
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:04,269
Nobody paved the way for me.

356
00:15:04,302 --> 00:15:08,006
I won that talent contest, free and clear.

357
00:15:09,841 --> 00:15:11,243
Of course, now I,

358
00:15:12,010 --> 00:15:15,680
I do pay homage to all the dead divas:

359
00:15:15,714 --> 00:15:17,148
Billie,

360
00:15:17,182 --> 00:15:18,283
Ella,

361
00:15:18,316 --> 00:15:20,218
Shirley Bassey.

362
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:22,153
Shirley Bassey's alive.

363
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:23,187
Really?

364
00:15:24,289 --> 00:15:25,657
God bless her.

365
00:15:28,159 --> 00:15:29,728
But now,

366
00:15:29,761 --> 00:15:30,762
them others,

367
00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:34,099
I'm not gonna name names,

368
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,235
but they all stole from me.

369
00:15:38,970 --> 00:15:40,205
Aretha,

370
00:15:40,238 --> 00:15:41,907
Whitney,

371
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:43,775
little Brandy,

372
00:15:43,808 --> 00:15:45,176
Streisand,

373
00:15:45,210 --> 00:15:46,745
Diahann Carroll,

374
00:15:47,979 --> 00:15:49,214
and Bea Arthur.

375
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:53,785
They all stole from me.

376
00:15:53,818 --> 00:15:55,620
I am sick and tired of Jackie Washington

377
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:57,155
saying that I stole from her.

378
00:15:57,188 --> 00:15:59,791
I built Diahann Carroll from the ground up.

379
00:15:59,824 --> 00:16:03,128
So, don't start saying that
I stole from you, Jackie.

380
00:16:03,161 --> 00:16:06,064
And I am not above suing for libel.

381
00:16:07,933 --> 00:16:09,134
As a matter of fact,

382
00:16:09,167 --> 00:16:11,403
I think I will call my attorney right now.

383
00:16:11,436 --> 00:16:14,205
So, you're saying that after you,

384
00:16:14,239 --> 00:16:17,108
everyone else is a petty criminal.

385
00:16:17,142 --> 00:16:18,076
You don't like me, do you?

386
00:16:18,109 --> 00:16:20,078
Oh, Jackie, I hardly know you.

387
00:16:20,111 --> 00:16:23,381
But you came into this
project with an attitude about me.

388
00:16:23,415 --> 00:16:25,417
Uh-uh, don't deny it now.

389
00:16:25,450 --> 00:16:28,286
I'm very perceptive, practically psychic.

390
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,856
I am a completely objective professional.

391
00:16:31,890 --> 00:16:35,694
Now, I admit that when they
proposed you as a subject,

392
00:16:35,727 --> 00:16:38,129
I didn't really know who you were.

393
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:40,198
They sold my records in England.

394
00:16:40,231 --> 00:16:41,231
Yes.

395
00:16:42,233 --> 00:16:43,969
But I never heard them.

396
00:16:44,002 --> 00:16:46,204
Are you trying to provoke me?

397
00:16:46,237 --> 00:16:49,240
'Cause you not going to
make me get ugly on film.

398
00:16:49,274 --> 00:16:51,209
This ain't 60 Minutes, okay.

399
00:16:51,242 --> 00:16:52,243
'Cause what?

400
00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:53,144
Thank you.

401
00:16:53,178 --> 00:16:54,179
Say no more.

402
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:56,857
Anyway, I was assigned
to share a dressing room

403
00:16:56,881 --> 00:16:58,450
with Jackie.

404
00:16:58,483 --> 00:17:01,219
I loved her, I had all her
records, and I thought,

405
00:17:01,252 --> 00:17:02,687
oh, this is gonna be fantastic.

406
00:17:02,721 --> 00:17:04,122
Well, let me just tell you,

407
00:17:04,155 --> 00:17:06,925
it was a nightmare.

408
00:17:06,958 --> 00:17:09,995
I am not gonna mince words, alright.

409
00:17:10,028 --> 00:17:12,097
She was a racist.

410
00:17:12,130 --> 00:17:15,200
I mean, I walked into that dressing room,

411
00:17:15,233 --> 00:17:16,434
not expecting this.

412
00:17:16,468 --> 00:17:19,037
There she was, and she
gave me the stink eye.

413
00:17:19,070 --> 00:17:20,205
I mean,

414
00:17:20,238 --> 00:17:22,073
the filthiest look.

415
00:17:22,107 --> 00:17:24,809
I am so naive, I just
completely dismissed it.

416
00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:25,910
I said, well,

417
00:17:25,944 --> 00:17:27,755
she must have something
in her eye, or something.

418
00:17:27,779 --> 00:17:29,357
So, I walked over to her, and I hugged her.

419
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:31,421
I said, I love you, and I
think you're so fabulous,

420
00:17:31,449 --> 00:17:32,817
I'm so excited.

421
00:17:32,851 --> 00:17:34,185
And you know what she did?

422
00:17:34,219 --> 00:17:35,720
She pulled away from me.

423
00:17:35,754 --> 00:17:36,821
And she said,

424
00:17:38,256 --> 00:17:41,426
she said she couldn't stand
to be hugged by white people.

425
00:17:41,459 --> 00:17:45,163
She said they all smelled
like wet potato chips.

426
00:17:45,196 --> 00:17:47,165
I couldn't believe it.

427
00:17:47,198 --> 00:17:48,133
Where did that come from?

428
00:17:48,166 --> 00:17:49,401
I was devastated.

429
00:17:49,434 --> 00:17:51,136
I don't smell like wet potato chips.

430
00:17:51,169 --> 00:17:54,873
I have always prided my
self on smelling flowery.

431
00:17:54,906 --> 00:17:56,150
I mean, I used to get all my perfume

432
00:17:56,174 --> 00:18:00,178
from this guy that only sold to Bendel's.

433
00:18:00,211 --> 00:18:02,247
I was really upset.

434
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,882
Well let me tell you something.

435
00:18:03,915 --> 00:18:06,184
What goes around, comes around.

436
00:18:06,217 --> 00:18:07,385
A couple of years ago,

437
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:09,020
I ran into Jackie,

438
00:18:09,054 --> 00:18:10,021
and this time she was the one

439
00:18:10,055 --> 00:18:12,123
who really smelled up the joint.

440
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:14,292
She was reeking of gin.

441
00:18:16,494 --> 00:18:17,896
Listen baby,

442
00:18:17,929 --> 00:18:20,365
- Mama needs her cough medicine.
- Yes Mama.

443
00:18:20,398 --> 00:18:22,267
And make it a double, Antandra.

444
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:23,300
Yes Mama.

445
00:18:25,136 --> 00:18:28,239
Oh my goodness, look at this, baby.

446
00:18:29,274 --> 00:18:31,209
This is the life.

447
00:18:31,242 --> 00:18:34,245
Edward, will you look at the theater.

448
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,825
Antandra, has anyone heard
from the rehearsal pianist?

449
00:18:37,849 --> 00:18:39,093
He was supposed to meet me here.

450
00:18:39,117 --> 00:18:40,285
He's already here, Mama.

451
00:18:40,318 --> 00:18:42,420
- Where?
- This is Perry,

452
00:18:42,454 --> 00:18:44,289
- you're rehearsal pianist.
- Ah.

453
00:18:44,322 --> 00:18:45,957
Miss Washington.

454
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:48,526
Miss Washington, I'm
Perry, your rehearsal pianist.

455
00:18:50,528 --> 00:18:51,930
Fine,

456
00:18:51,963 --> 00:18:52,864
good.

457
00:18:52,897 --> 00:18:54,041
Then shall we get down to work?

458
00:18:54,065 --> 00:18:55,276
I was hoping we could get down to work,

459
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,002
but I never got your music charts.

460
00:18:58,036 --> 00:18:59,237
Why not?

461
00:18:59,270 --> 00:19:02,173
Apparently, the copy shop hasn't been paid.

462
00:19:02,207 --> 00:19:04,008
But that's ridiculous.

463
00:19:04,042 --> 00:19:06,244
Why hasn't Kinko's been paid, Antandra?

464
00:19:06,277 --> 00:19:08,813
Get Barry on the line for me, sweetie.

465
00:19:08,847 --> 00:19:12,117
I'm gonna get paid, aren't I?

466
00:19:14,152 --> 00:19:17,122
Yes, of course, you're
gonna get paid, sweetie.

467
00:19:17,155 --> 00:19:19,924
My daughter, Antandra,
will look into all of this.

468
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:21,893
Mama, here's some extra music charts

469
00:19:21,926 --> 00:19:23,128

was healthy and vigorous.

555
00:23:40,284 --> 00:23:41,853
Well, I learned how to

556
00:23:41,886 --> 00:23:44,288
fake an orgasm listening to Love Goddess.

557
00:23:44,322 --> 00:23:46,257
That's a skill that every woman has to

558
00:23:46,290 --> 00:23:48,359
call upon from time to time.

559
00:23:48,393 --> 00:23:50,294
It's like...

560
00:23:50,328 --> 00:23:51,763
Oh no, that's the second verse.

561
00:23:51,796 --> 00:23:54,866
Oh no, the bridge is more like...

562
00:23:54,899 --> 00:23:56,200
And then, I really sell it.

563
00:23:56,234 --> 00:23:57,735
I wish Jackie well.

564
00:23:57,769 --> 00:23:59,237
I mean,

565
00:23:59,270 --> 00:24:02,440
I haven't talked to Jackie in a while.

566
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:05,143
There's a lot of pain there.

567
00:24:05,176 --> 00:24:07,211
Here you are, a child bride.

568
00:24:07,245 --> 00:24:10,515
- I was 17 years old.
- And two months pregnant.

569
00:24:10,548 --> 00:24:12,517
Somebody's been digging up a little dirt.

570
00:24:12,550 --> 00:24:14,318
Milkman Summers, the football star.

571
00:24:14,352 --> 00:24:15,720
Yeah, to hear him tell it.

572
00:24:15,753 --> 00:24:17,822
Now, he was the first
of how many husbands?

573
00:24:17,855 --> 00:24:20,458
- Three.
- I thought it was four.

574
00:24:20,491 --> 00:24:22,493
The last one was annulled.

575
00:24:22,527 --> 00:24:24,362
And there you go working my nerves again.

576
00:24:24,395 --> 00:24:26,597
Well, it's a matter of
public record, Jackie.

577
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:28,332
Alright, I'm unlucky in love.

578
00:24:28,366 --> 00:24:30,802
But I'm the first to admit it.

579
00:24:30,835 --> 00:24:32,203
Not my fault,

580
00:24:32,236 --> 00:24:33,805
especially with Milkman.

581
00:24:33,838 --> 00:24:35,573
The serenity of Beverly Hills

582
00:24:35,606 --> 00:24:37,408
has been shattered this morning.

583
00:24:37,442 --> 00:24:39,377
Rams running back, Milkman Summers,

584
00:24:39,410 --> 00:24:41,712
has sustained a stab wound to the head

585
00:24:41,746 --> 00:24:43,581
with a deadly afro pick.

586
00:24:43,614 --> 00:24:44,691
Here, he's coming out right now.

587
00:24:44,715 --> 00:24:46,217
- Take this from you.
- Milkman!

588
00:24:46,250 --> 00:24:47,394
Do you have anything to say...

589
00:24:47,418 --> 00:24:48,862
Milkman, milkman, what
do you have to say for yourself,

590
00:24:48,886 --> 00:24:49,886
Milkman?

591
00:24:51,522 --> 00:24:53,591
His wife, pop star Jackie Washington,

592
00:24:53,624 --> 00:24:56,527
is being taken in right
now for questioning.

593
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,539
Jackie, Jackie, can we
have a word with you, Jackie?

594
00:24:58,563 --> 00:25:00,631
Please, I don't wanna talk to you people.

595
00:25:00,665 --> 00:25:01,632
Jackie, how do you feel?

596
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:03,501
I got all these people here.

597
00:25:03,534 --> 00:25:06,270
Hey, get off my yard out here.

598
00:25:06,304 --> 00:25:07,538
- All those people.
- Jackie!

599
00:25:07,572 --> 00:25:08,873
Jackie, did the Milkman go sour?

600
00:25:08,906 --> 00:25:10,217
What do you mean, he goes sour?

601
00:25:10,241 --> 00:25:11,876
He was always sour.

602
00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:13,644
Did the Milkman not deliver, Jackie?

603
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:16,714
He delivered, but it's what he delivered.

604
00:25:16,747 --> 00:25:20,451
He delivered some,
that's what he delivered.

605
00:25:20,485 --> 00:25:21,652
Oh, wait a minute.

606
00:25:21,686 --> 00:25:24,822
Alright, I'm bitter about Milkman.

607
00:25:24,856 --> 00:25:28,326
I had to give up alimony to
have those charges dropped.

608
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:29,861
I never stabbed nobody.

609
00:25:29,894 --> 00:25:32,230
He fell on that comb.

610
00:25:32,263 --> 00:25:35,500
Bull.

611
00:25:35,533 --> 00:25:36,767
You remember that song

612
00:25:36,801 --> 00:25:39,203
where she pretended to have an orgasm?

613
00:25:39,237 --> 00:25:41,339
See now, that's the low down on Jackie.

614
00:25:41,372 --> 00:25:42,473
That's the real low down.

615
00:25:42,507 --> 00:25:43,641
She's all pretend.

616
00:25:43,674 --> 00:25:45,309
See Jackie couldn't have a...

617
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:46,644
I mean, even if...

618
00:25:48,012 --> 00:25:49,847
Can I say this on TV?

619
00:25:49,881 --> 00:25:50,982
Oh yes.

620
00:25:51,015 --> 00:25:53,251
Jackie is all pretend.

621
00:25:53,284 --> 00:25:54,318
Oooh, ahh.

622
00:25:56,020 --> 00:25:57,655
"Can I have a little rice with that?"

623
00:25:57,688 --> 00:25:59,590
Jackie can't cook.

624
00:25:59,624 --> 00:26:01,259
Shoot.

625
00:26:01,292 --> 00:26:02,870
Now see, that's why she
stabbed me, pure and simple.

626
00:26:02,894 --> 00:26:04,295
It's frustration.

627
00:26:04,328 --> 00:26:05,363
Hold up.

628
00:26:06,030 --> 00:26:07,598
Ooh.

629
00:26:07,632 --> 00:26:08,632
Yeah, yeah.

630
00:26:10,735 --> 00:26:12,303
You know what it's like

631
00:26:12,336 --> 00:26:15,006
being married to a
professional ball player?

632
00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:17,542
The Milkman, he delivers.

633
00:26:17,575 --> 00:26:20,978
I'll tell you what he delivered, nothing.

634
00:26:23,014 --> 00:26:24,015
Oh,

635
00:26:24,048 --> 00:26:25,249
and Milkman.

636
00:26:26,317 --> 00:26:29,487
That Heisman trophy you
been looking for all these years.

637
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,658
It's under 50 feet of water
up there in Lake Hollywood.

638
00:26:33,691 --> 00:26:35,660
Happy swimming, bastard.

639
00:26:35,693 --> 00:26:38,029
He would have been the
greatest football player ever,

640
00:26:38,062 --> 00:26:40,865
until he got stabbed with that afro pick.

641
00:26:40,898 --> 00:26:43,734
He could never run straight again.

642
00:26:45,303 --> 00:26:47,271
Just every time he tried to run, he just

643
00:26:47,305 --> 00:26:50,274
kind of wobble and go in
circles like The Three Stooges.

644
00:26:50,308 --> 00:26:51,342
I

645
00:26:51,375 --> 00:26:52,610
influenced

646
00:26:52,643 --> 00:26:54,579
a lot of Jackie's work.

647
00:26:57,615 --> 00:27:01,886
I never wanted money,
I didn't want the fame,

648
00:27:01,919 --> 00:27:04,355
I just wanted some love.

649
00:27:04,388 --> 00:27:06,324
She couldn't give it.

650
00:27:06,357 --> 00:27:07,391
What?

651
00:27:08,859 --> 00:27:12,029
I've never been frustrated in that way.

652
00:27:12,063 --> 00:27:13,297
Please.

653
00:27:14,432 --> 00:27:15,933
Who told you that?

654
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:18,769
There's no truth to the
rumor about me and Jackie.

655
00:27:18,803 --> 00:27:20,037
All right.

656
00:27:20,071 --> 00:27:21,939
There was one night.

657
00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:25,476
But it was just one, and nothing happened.

658
00:27:25,509 --> 00:27:27,845
At least, not that I can remember.

659
00:27:27,878 --> 00:27:29,981
Milkman Summers was husband number one.

660
00:27:30,014 --> 00:27:32,016
Who was husband number two?

661
00:27:32,049 --> 00:27:34,352
- No comment.
- Number three?

662
00:27:36,754 --> 00:27:37,754
Gay.

663
00:27:39,624 --> 00:27:43,327
And where's husband number four?

664
00:27:43,361 --> 00:27:45,663
I told you, he was annulled.

665
00:27:46,764 --> 00:27:49,800
Jackie, let's discuss the photograph

666
00:27:49,834 --> 00:27:53,070
that landed you in so much hot water.

667
00:27:53,104 --> 00:27:56,507
Some say, this was the
beginning of your decline.

668
00:27:56,540 --> 00:28:00,344
Yeah, well, some say all kinds of.

669
00:28:00,378 --> 00:28:03,881
There was no black performer
more militant than me.

670
00:28:03,914 --> 00:28:07,351
My afro was bigger than Angela Davis's.

671
00:28:08,419 --> 00:28:10,821
This is my NAACP Image Award.

672
00:28:10,855 --> 00:28:14,091
I got it for Lifetime Achievement.

673
00:28:14,125 --> 00:28:16,093
So, that whole thing didn't do any damage.

674
00:28:16,127 --> 00:28:17,928
My people have always loved me.

675
00:28:17,962 --> 00:28:21,132
Is it true that you were
inebriated at the ceremony?

676
00:28:21,165 --> 00:28:22,867
I was not drunk.

677
00:28:24,502 --> 00:28:26,137
I just had some oral surgery,

678
00:28:26,170 --> 00:28:30,808
and I was having a severe
reaction to the Novocain.

679
00:28:30,841 --> 00:28:33,144
My body's always been hypersensitive.

680
00:28:33,177 --> 00:28:36,647
That's why I can't drink or do drugs.

681
00:28:36,681 --> 00:28:40,117
So, you thought you might as well

682
00:28:40,151 --> 00:28:41,151
act.

683
00:28:41,819 --> 00:28:43,120
Yeah.

684
00:29:08,145 --> 00:29:10,047
It's a trap, Coco.

685
00:29:10,081 --> 00:29:11,449
What?

686
00:29:11,482 --> 00:29:15,686
It's too late to warn
her now, jive turkey.

687
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,756
If it ain't Dolomite himself.

688
00:29:18,789 --> 00:29:20,991
- Get her, boys.
- Whoo!

689
00:29:21,025 --> 00:29:23,060
Baby you about to become espresso.

690
00:29:23,094 --> 00:29:25,162
Cool you off, little Coco.

691
00:29:25,196 --> 00:29:27,798
No marshmallows for you, Coco.

692
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:31,102
We're gonna pour down the drain.

693
00:29:31,135 --> 00:29:32,470
Now, sweet mama.

694
00:29:32,503 --> 00:29:33,503
Yeah.

695
00:29:34,605 --> 00:29:36,907
Yeah, come on, come on, do it.

696
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,261

Oh, it was huge.

730
00:31:03,894 --> 00:31:06,163
I don't remember how much money it made,

731
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:07,932
but it killed in Europe.

732
00:31:07,965 --> 00:31:10,167
They ate Coco up in Norway.

733
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:11,836
Oh yeah.

734
00:31:11,869 --> 00:31:13,838
There were five more
Coco movies in development.

735
00:31:13,871 --> 00:31:16,774
But they were never made.

736
00:31:16,807 --> 00:31:19,710
Antandra, just a minute, just a minute.

737
00:31:19,743 --> 00:31:21,912
Edward, let me tell you
how Hollywood works.

738
00:31:21,946 --> 00:31:23,581
Yeah, Hollywood.

739
00:31:23,614 --> 00:31:27,618
They let one black woman
slide through per decade.

740
00:31:27,651 --> 00:31:29,220
Hattie McDaniel

741
00:31:29,253 --> 00:31:30,221
had hers.

742
00:31:30,254 --> 00:31:31,722
Diana Ross had hers.

743
00:31:31,755 --> 00:31:34,058
Whoopi had hers, love them.

744
00:31:34,091 --> 00:31:35,759
But by the time I came along,

745
00:31:35,793 --> 00:31:37,103
they filled their black woman quota.

746
00:31:37,127 --> 00:31:39,029
I didn't stand a chance.

747
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:40,698
Yeah, that's right.

748
00:31:40,731 --> 00:31:43,133
That's what happened to Mama.

749
00:31:44,368 --> 00:31:47,738
Alright, honey, that's enough there.

750
00:31:47,771 --> 00:31:49,673
It brought to an end

751
00:31:49,707 --> 00:31:52,343
the black exploitation movies of the '70s.

752
00:31:52,376 --> 00:31:54,745
After the studios saw that one film,

753
00:31:54,778 --> 00:31:56,313
they said, we're not making another.

754
00:31:56,347 --> 00:31:58,182
And I just remember a lot of

755
00:31:58,215 --> 00:32:00,117
the people in Hollywood were really upset.

756
00:32:00,150 --> 00:32:01,661
You know, I mean, normally somebody says

757
00:32:01,685 --> 00:32:03,888
you're not gonna work in this town again.

758
00:32:03,921 --> 00:32:05,198
And with Jackie, a lot of people said,

759
00:32:05,222 --> 00:32:07,358
you'll not work in this country again.

760
00:32:07,391 --> 00:32:10,160
She guest-starred on
Laverne and Shirley once,

761
00:32:10,194 --> 00:32:13,797
but not many people know
that because it never aired.

762
00:32:13,831 --> 00:32:16,133
We had to eat the episode.

763
00:32:16,166 --> 00:32:17,301
She was terrible.

764
00:32:17,334 --> 00:32:19,169
I mean, it was embarrassing.

765
00:32:19,203 --> 00:32:21,338
I mean, the cast was crying.

766
00:32:21,372 --> 00:32:25,075
Occasionally, I have these
evenings at my house where

767
00:32:25,109 --> 00:32:26,043
people come and they sing, and they,

768
00:32:26,076 --> 00:32:28,045
I call them musical evenings.

769
00:32:28,078 --> 00:32:30,114
We all have just a great time and

770
00:32:30,147 --> 00:32:31,882
perform for each other.

771
00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:34,852
And one time, a friend
of mine brought Jackie.

772
00:32:34,885 --> 00:32:36,086
I'd never met her before,

773
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,655
but she was so wonderful.

774
00:32:37,688 --> 00:32:41,258
I mean, she sang, and
she sang, and she sang,

775
00:32:42,693 --> 00:32:43,693
and sang.

776
00:32:45,162 --> 00:32:46,830
And

777
00:32:46,864 --> 00:32:51,068
when she said good night,
I was so touch, because

778
00:32:51,101 --> 00:32:53,070
she looked like she'd
had a good time, you know,

779
00:32:53,103 --> 00:32:55,205
and she gave me a hug.

780
00:32:55,239 --> 00:32:56,273
A hug.

781
00:32:57,841 --> 00:33:00,144
And it was kind of this

782
00:33:00,177 --> 00:33:01,879
stiff-armed

783
00:33:01,912 --> 00:33:03,047
traditional something.

784
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,114
I don't know what,

785
00:33:04,148 --> 00:33:06,116
you know, I don't know
much about the African...

786
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:09,420
Now, the next thing I noticed
my Oscar for Cabaret was

787
00:33:09,453 --> 00:33:12,723
missing, but it was just coincidence.

788
00:33:13,891 --> 00:33:15,402
Jackie, is that an Oscar by the door?

789
00:33:15,426 --> 00:33:16,994
Oh yeah.

790
00:33:17,027 --> 00:33:19,229
My good friend Liza gave it to me.

791
00:33:19,263 --> 00:33:21,165
She wasn't using it anymore.

792
00:33:21,198 --> 00:33:24,735
And obviously, you needed a door stop.

793
00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:33,010
To show the world she still had the stuff,

794
00:33:33,043 --> 00:33:35,312
she chose to bare all

795
00:33:35,346 --> 00:33:38,048
in a provocative photo spread.

796
00:33:39,149 --> 00:33:40,784
♪ I'm a suki, suki mama

797
00:33:40,818 --> 00:33:42,686
♪ And I'm laying it out for you

798
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,455
With this photographic essay,

799
00:33:44,488 --> 00:33:45,956
Suki, Suki Mama

800
00:33:46,890 --> 00:33:47,858
became

801
00:33:47,891 --> 00:33:49,193
Looky, Looky Mama.

802
00:33:50,294 --> 00:33:53,230
And Jackie achieved more exposure

803
00:33:53,263 --> 00:33:55,199
than she bargained for.

804
00:33:56,867 --> 00:33:58,202
Jackie,

805
00:33:58,235 --> 00:33:59,236
Jackie?

806
00:33:59,269 --> 00:34:01,972
About your spread in Play Pen.

807
00:34:03,207 --> 00:34:05,242
I'd figured you'd bring that up.

808
00:34:05,275 --> 00:34:07,211
Most men I meet do.

809
00:34:07,244 --> 00:34:11,215
I'm surprised you
have it on your wall after,

810
00:34:11,248 --> 00:34:14,785
well, you know, the whole thing about...

811
00:34:15,919 --> 00:34:18,355
The press dubbed it Bodygate.

812
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:20,724
Listen, I stand by those pictures.

813
00:34:20,758 --> 00:34:22,226
I'm proud of my body,

814
00:34:22,259 --> 00:34:23,336
and you ought to be ashamed of yourself,

815
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,163
stirring up all that old trash.

816
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:31,335
I don't know how they darkened my skin,

817
00:34:31,368 --> 00:34:33,804
but a girl knows her own body,

818
00:34:33,837 --> 00:34:37,174
especially with what my surgery cost me.

819
00:34:38,275 --> 00:34:39,810
I was exploited,

820
00:34:41,045 --> 00:34:43,881
and I didn't even get paid for it.

821
00:34:45,949 --> 00:34:49,787
Jackie Washington took my body.

822
00:34:49,820 --> 00:34:51,021
Shoot.

823
00:34:51,055 --> 00:34:52,456
Remember, I was married to Jackie.

824
00:34:52,489 --> 00:34:54,992
I know what the girl looked like naked.

825
00:34:55,025 --> 00:34:58,328
She had no right to desecrate
that woman's beautiful body

826
00:34:58,362 --> 00:34:59,830
with that head.

827
00:34:59,863 --> 00:35:02,433
You know, that's when I went to the D.A.

828
00:35:02,466 --> 00:35:03,867
You would have to

829
00:35:03,901 --> 00:35:06,070
if you had eight pick
dents in your forehead.

830
00:35:06,103 --> 00:35:07,380
Shoot, I couldn't run the same, man.

831
00:35:07,404 --> 00:35:08,772
My equilibrium was all off.

832
00:35:08,806 --> 00:35:10,240
I tried to jig and...

833
00:35:10,274 --> 00:35:11,274
Whoa.

834
00:35:12,476 --> 00:35:13,877
You know,

835
00:35:13,911 --> 00:35:16,513
can't even see straight sometimes.

836
00:35:16,547 --> 00:35:18,148
Listen.

837
00:35:18,182 --> 00:35:22,920
Why don't you go and interview
some people who love me.

838
00:35:22,953 --> 00:35:25,923
You know, that have
some nice things to say.

839
00:35:25,956 --> 00:35:29,393
And who do you suggest I speak to?

840
00:35:29,426 --> 00:35:31,995
Well, you could talk to...

841
00:35:34,131 --> 00:35:35,199
Or there's...

842
00:35:39,269 --> 00:35:41,071
Go to Kinloch.

843
00:35:41,105 --> 00:35:43,340
Go to Kinloch, you know, where I'm from.

844
00:35:43,373 --> 00:35:45,042
Oh, they love me back there.

845
00:35:45,075 --> 00:35:47,144
Talk to those people.

846
00:35:47,177 --> 00:35:50,447
- I'm still huge in Kinloch.
- Fine.

847
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:52,216
We'll go there.

848
00:35:52,249 --> 00:35:54,985
Days before the concert,
we flew an excited Jackie

849
00:35:55,018 --> 00:35:58,322
back to her hometown of Kinloch, Missouri.

850
00:35:59,890 --> 00:36:03,093
We're here on the main
street of Jackie's birthplace,

851
00:36:03,127 --> 00:36:08,198
the African American
community of Kinloch, Missouri.

852
00:36:08,232 --> 00:36:10,300
Jackie, how does it feel to be home?

853
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:12,035
Oh, it feels wonderful.

854
00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:13,604
I feel surrounded by love.

855
00:36:13,637 --> 00:36:17,207
Now, in 1984, Kinloch honored you.

856
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:18,575
Yeah, that's right.

857
00:36:18,609 --> 00:36:22,846
Every July 15 is Jackie Washington Day.

858
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,414
Antandra just loves that.

859
00:36:24,448 --> 00:36:26,350
Me, I don't go in for all that fuss.

860
00:36:26,383 --> 00:36:28,152
I hardly ever come for it.

861
00:36:28,185 --> 00:36:29,586
Yes you do, Mama.

862
00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:32,389
Last year, they had a big fish fry,

863
00:36:32,422 --> 00:36:34,124
and Mama got real drunk.

864
00:36:34,158 --> 00:36:36,160
And then thing happened with the gun...

865
00:36:36,193 --> 00:36:37,161
Hey, Antandra,

866
00:36:37,194 --> 00:36:39,463
you save a little bit of
that for later, sweetie.

867
00:36:39,496 --> 00:36:41,198
Alright.

868
00:36:41,231 --> 00:36:44,468
Oh, hey, oh they just love me here.

869
00:36:44,501 --> 00:36:46,970
I'm still huge in Kinloch.

870
00:36:47,004 --> 00:36:50,908
Hey, ain't you that lady from Star Trek?

871
00:36:50,941 --> 00:36:53,310
Now, do I look like Uhura to y'all?

872
00:36:55,179 --> 00:36:56,380
Alright, alright, lookit.

873
00:36:56,413 --> 00:36:58,949
You go and ask your mama who I am, alright.

874
00:36:58,982 --> 00:37:00,184
She'll remember.

875
00:37:00,217 --> 00:37:01,151
Go ahead on.

876
00:37:01,185 --> 00:37:02,653
Y'all go ahead on, now.

877
00:37:02,686 --> 00:37:04,588
Aren't they cute.

878
00:37:04,621 --> 00:37:06,023
Oh yeah.

879
00:37:06,056 --> 00:37:08,091
- Still huge in Kinloch.
- Hey Mama!

880
00:37:08,125 --> 00:37:09,526
I met the lady from Star Trek.

881
00:37:12,462 --> 00:37:13,530
Hey Jackie.

882
00:37:14,464 --> 00:37:17,167
What are you doing back here?

883
00:37:17,201 --> 00:37:22,105
Don't tell me it's Jackie
Washington Day here already.

884
00:37:23,607 --> 00:37:25,676
Cadillac Johnson.

885
00:37:25,709 --> 00:37:28,145
You just keep on moving now.

886
00:37:28,178 --> 00:37:29,546
These are my crew people.

887
00:37:29,580 --> 00:37:32,049
They making a movie about me.

888
00:37:32,082 --> 00:37:34,117
I'm making a comeback, you know.

889
00:37:34,151 --> 00:37:35,652
Damn Jackie.

890
00:37:35,686 --> 00:37:40,057
You look good enough to sop with a biscuit.

891
00:37:40,090 --> 00:37:43,093
Don't you start with me, you fool.

892
00:37:44,127 --> 00:37:47,164
Cadillac used to sing in
the church choir with me.

893
00:37:47,197 --> 00:37:50,133
He's always trying to
get under my holy robe.

894
00:37:50,167 --> 00:37:52,069
I didn't have to try.

895
00:37:53,237 --> 00:37:57,975
Listen, I still got my usual
table reserved down at the

896
00:37:58,008 --> 00:37:59,443
Threaded Needle.

897
00:37:59,476 --> 00:38:02,179
Why don't you join me down there later.

898
00:38:02,212 --> 00:38:03,413
Yeah, okay, Cadillac.

899
00:38:03,447 --> 00:38:05,549
You go ahead on down
to the Threaded Needle.

900
00:38:05,582 --> 00:38:06,950
I'll meet you there.

901
00:38:06,984 --> 00:38:09,620
Hey, hey, you go ahead on.

902
00:38:09,653 --> 00:38:11,622
Don't y'all put Cadillac in my movie.

903
00:38:11,655 --> 00:38:16,059
I don't need to be seen
with the biggest pimp in town.

904
00:38:18,095 --> 00:38:20,364
Oh, now you see that vacant lot over there?

905
00:38:20,397 --> 00:38:23,233
That used to be Odessa's grocery store.

906
00:38:23,267 --> 00:38:25,502
Me and my sisters used to come up here.

907
00:38:25,535 --> 00:38:29,072
For a nickel, you could
buy a great big sour pickle.

908
00:38:29,106 --> 00:38:30,240
We stick a peppermint candy

909
00:38:30,274 --> 00:38:32,309
right down the center of that pickle,

910
00:38:32,342 --> 00:38:34,311
and suck on it all the way home.

911
00:38:34,344 --> 00:38:36,222
We used to get our pickle
nickles from Play Mama.

912
00:38:36,246 --> 00:38:39,683
That's her house right over,
oh my god, there's Miss Krumes.

913
00:38:39,716 --> 00:38:42,219
She used to be my Play Mama.

914
00:38:42,252 --> 00:38:44,454
- Play Mama?
- Oh, we had our real mamas,

915
00:38:44,488 --> 00:38:46,156
and then we had our play mamas.

916
00:38:46,189 --> 00:38:48,191
Miss Krumes was my Play Mama.

917
00:38:48,225 --> 00:38:49,760
Hi Play Mama.

918
00:38:49,793 --> 00:38:51,628
Hey Play Mama.

919
00:38:51,662 --> 00:38:52,663
Remember me?

920
00:38:54,298 --> 00:38:56,233
Of course I remember you.

921
00:38:56,266 --> 00:38:58,335
Little Jackie Washington.

922
00:38:59,336 --> 00:39:01,305
I was Play Mama's favorite.

923
00:39:01,338 --> 00:39:04,074
Don't come into my yard.

924
00:39:04,107 --> 00:39:06,209
You was the nastiest little child.

925
00:39:06,243 --> 00:39:08,679
Had the dirtiest mouth
in this neighborhood.

926
00:39:08,712 --> 00:39:12,249
Now get away from here
before I call the police.

927
00:39:12,282 --> 00:39:14,484
Now, Play Mama,

928
00:39:14,518 --> 00:39:16,186
come one now.

929
00:39:16,219 --> 00:39:20,123
I was five years old when
I cussed at you that time.

930
00:39:20,157 --> 00:39:22,759
She gave me a nickel,
and I wanted a dime, so

931
00:39:22,793 --> 00:39:26,363
I told her where to stick her nickel.

932
00:39:26,396 --> 00:39:28,699
Come on now, Play Mama.

933
00:39:28,732 --> 00:39:31,234
We made up over that.

934
00:39:31,268 --> 00:39:35,038
Don't you get the hard candy
I send you every Christmas?

935
00:39:35,072 --> 00:39:38,508
I'd rather have some soft chocolates.

936
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:41,044
Now, you get away from
here with your nasty self,

937
00:39:41,078 --> 00:39:43,246
and take those white people with you.

938
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,049
You know how white
people smell after the rain,

939
00:39:46,083 --> 00:39:47,517
like wet potato chips.

940
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:49,319
Now, get out of here.

941
00:39:55,158 --> 00:39:57,561
Yeah, yeah, I heard she lost her mind.

942
00:39:57,594 --> 00:39:58,795
Poor thing.

943
00:39:58,829 --> 00:40:00,764
Crazy as a road lizard.

944
00:40:02,466 --> 00:40:04,835
There was really nothing

945
00:40:04,868 --> 00:40:08,271
that Jackie Washington
could do with herself,

946
00:40:08,305 --> 00:40:10,540
except go into show business.

947
00:40:11,808 --> 00:40:13,210
She had

948
00:40:13,243 --> 00:40:15,512
the largest boobs,

949
00:40:15,545 --> 00:40:16,545
breasts,

950
00:40:17,614 --> 00:40:21,218
I have ever seen on
an eight-year-old child.

951
00:40:22,786 --> 00:40:26,189
Little Jackie Washington,
loudest child in church,

952
00:40:26,223 --> 00:40:27,858
God bless her.

953
00:40:27,891 --> 00:40:29,593
Put Kinloch on the map.

954
00:40:29,626 --> 00:40:31,561
Used to be tourists in here on Sunday,

955
00:40:31,595 --> 00:40:34,431
especially after them
Play Pen pictures came out.

956
00:40:34,464 --> 00:40:36,566
You see right there, it
says To Snookie, huh?

957
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,235
Yeah.

958
00:40:38,268 --> 00:40:42,205
Oh, me and Jackie, we go
way back, way back, uh-huh.

959
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:43,306
Will you two...

960
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:45,409
Go sit your butts down.

961
00:40:45,442 --> 00:40:47,110
I'm trying to tell this man about Jackie.

962
00:40:47,144 --> 00:40:48,354
Your Aunt Jackie, you know, the singer.

963
00:40:48,378 --> 00:40:50,280
One couldn't keep no husband.

964
00:40:50,313 --> 00:40:51,782
Where was I? Be still now, baby.

965
00:40:51,815 --> 00:40:53,326
Oh yeah, Jackie and I, we were, Fonzie.

966
00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:54,284
Fonzie!

967
00:40:54,317 --> 00:40:56,119
Get your hands from
in front of that camera.

968
00:40:56,153 --> 00:40:56,987
Whoo, where was I.

969
00:40:57,020 --> 00:40:59,156
We like sisters, we were like sisters.

970
00:40:59,189 --> 00:41:01,300
Oh honey, she used to give
me things, do things for me.

971
00:41:01,324 --> 00:41:02,735
She bought me that stove I got in there,

972
00:41:02,759 --> 00:41:05,195
bought me a refrigerator, yes she did.

973
00:41:05,228 --> 00:41:06,472
Though, honey, I could use another one.

974
00:41:06,496 --> 00:41:08,498
Like I said, one of them frost-free honey.

975
00:41:08,532 --> 00:41:12,335
I ain't got time to be
defrosting, feeding all these kids.

976
00:41:12,369 --> 00:41:14,571
And let me tell you, I
know you could afford it.

977
00:41:14,604 --> 00:41:17,374
'Cause I saw them boots you
been stomping around with.

978
00:41:17,407 --> 00:41:18,442
You know something?

979
00:41:18,475 --> 00:41:20,177
I heard

980
00:41:20,210 --> 00:41:22,188
that every time one of your
old songs play on the radio,

981
00:41:22,212 --> 00:41:23,747
honey, they send you a check.

982
00:41:23,780 --> 00:41:25,282
And with just one of them checks?

983
00:41:25,315 --> 00:41:27,717
Whoo, I could buy me a new refrigerator,

984
00:41:27,751 --> 00:41:31,488
one of them frost free with
the ice maker on it, yeah.

985
00:41:31,521 --> 00:41:33,256
Keisha, Keisha get over here.

986
00:41:33,290 --> 00:41:34,925
Keisha, come here, come here.

987
00:41:34,958 --> 00:41:37,494
This is Keisha, and this Teisha.

988
00:41:37,527 --> 00:41:39,329
This is my young one, Teisha.

989
00:41:39,362 --> 00:41:40,430
Keisha.

990
00:41:40,464 --> 00:41:44,167
Look just like they daddy, don't they?

991
00:41:44,201 --> 00:41:46,703
It all started with this cherry tree.

992
00:41:46,736 --> 00:41:49,673
My people was slaves for George Washington.

993
00:41:49,706 --> 00:41:54,211
Now this is my
great-great-great-great-grandm or Bolitha

994
00:41:54,244 --> 00:41:55,745
and her husband Joe Henry.

995
00:41:55,779 --> 00:41:57,614
He didn't like George.

996
00:41:57,647 --> 00:41:58,958
You know what that means, don't you.

997
00:41:58,982 --> 00:42:00,484
I got some of George's blood.

998
00:42:00,517 --> 00:42:03,220
That's why I can't tell a lie.

999
00:42:03,253 --> 00:42:06,756
Jackie clearly resembles George.

1000
00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:11,595
I mean, if you hold up a
dollar bill to Jackie's face,

1001
00:42:11,628 --> 00:42:13,497
it's plain as day.

1002
00:42:13,530 --> 00:42:16,266
I'm sort of a history
buff on the side, and

1003
00:42:16,299 --> 00:42:20,437
I was reading that she's not
related to George Washington.

1004
00:42:20,470 --> 00:42:22,939
She's related to a distant, distant,

1005
00:42:22,973 --> 00:42:26,776
distant, distant cousin
called Lester Washington.

1006
00:42:26,810 --> 00:42:28,345
And he was a big liar.

1007
00:42:28,378 --> 00:42:30,680
I mean, a big, big, liar.

1008
00:42:30,714 --> 00:42:35,285
So she has his blood, Lester's
blood, not George's blood.

1009
00:42:35,318 --> 00:42:38,355
Well, we could prove that
today, couldn't we, with DNA.

1010
00:42:38,388 --> 00:42:40,624
She tell that lie, child.

1011
00:42:40,657 --> 00:42:42,592
She does that every year,

1012
00:42:42,626 --> 00:42:45,328
telling somebody we related
to George Washington.

1013
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:46,930
It's George Washington Honor

1014
00:42:46,963 --> 00:42:49,933
from up there around Peckinpah, Idado.

1015
00:42:49,966 --> 00:42:53,236
Because our people, you know we're mixed.

1016
00:42:53,270 --> 00:42:55,539
Did she tell you that?

1017
00:42:55,572 --> 00:42:57,841
We are one-quarter

1018
00:42:57,874 --> 00:42:58,874
Korean,

1019
00:43:00,310 --> 00:43:01,344
and half black,

1020
00:43:02,579 --> 00:43:05,348
and a quarter Hachapana Indian.

1021
00:43:06,650 --> 00:43:08,552
This is my grandmother,

1022
00:43:08,585 --> 00:43:10,520
Miss LaVata Washington.

1023
00:43:11,388 --> 00:43:13,256
She had 22 children,

1024
00:43:14,357 --> 00:43:16,259
and then she died.

1025
00:43:16,293 --> 00:43:19,496
Well, there was nothing else she could do.

1026
00:43:19,529 --> 00:43:21,598
I loved my grandma.

1027
00:43:26,970 --> 00:43:29,339
These are all the Washington children here

1028
00:43:29,372 --> 00:43:31,775
lined up ready for church.

1029
00:43:31,808 --> 00:43:34,811
All my sisters and brothers
graduated from college.

1030
00:43:34,844 --> 00:43:38,648
I paid for it, and was happy to do it.

1031
00:43:38,682 --> 00:43:41,351
We couldn't be closer.

1032
00:43:41,384 --> 00:43:43,553
You know, it's ironic, isn't it,

1033
00:43:43,587 --> 00:43:46,690
that you sent your entire family to school,

1034
00:43:46,723 --> 00:43:49,492
and yet growing up in show business,

1035
00:43:49,526 --> 00:43:53,063
you basically received no education at all.

1036
00:43:53,096 --> 00:43:54,331
Do you...

1037
00:43:56,399 --> 00:44:00,370
Do you sometimes feel
cheated out of your childhood?

1038
00:44:03,373 --> 00:44:06,443
I don't feel cheated out of anything.

1039
00:44:07,677 --> 00:44:10,747
Alright, I can't add or subtract, but

1040
00:44:11,815 --> 00:44:16,052
growing up on the road,
I learned a lot about life.

1041
00:44:16,086 --> 00:44:17,587
And in the end,

1042
00:44:17,621 --> 00:44:19,889
isn't that all the learning
that really matters?

1043
00:44:22,626 --> 00:44:26,062
Jackie, out of your
entire family in Kinloch,

1044
00:44:26,096 --> 00:44:29,432
only your sister Ethyl
agreed to be interviewed.

1045
00:44:29,466 --> 00:44:30,734
Now,

1046
00:44:30,767 --> 00:44:31,768
why is that?

1047
00:44:33,036 --> 00:44:36,406
I bet that Ethyl told
them not to talk to you.

1048
00:44:36,439 --> 00:44:38,108
Everybody scared of Ethyl,

1049
00:44:38,141 --> 00:44:39,442
except me.

1050
00:44:39,476 --> 00:44:41,044
I ain't scared of Ethyl.

1051
00:44:41,077 --> 00:44:43,446
Yeah, okay, look.

1052
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,049
She paid for me to go to school.

1053
00:44:46,082 --> 00:44:48,018
I appreciate that, but what's the big deal?

1054
00:44:48,051 --> 00:44:49,819
I mean, she's my sister, she rich.

1055
00:44:49,853 --> 00:44:51,755
She had the money.

1056
00:44:51,788 --> 00:44:53,923
Doesn't change the fact that she's a dog.

1057
00:44:53,957 --> 00:44:55,625
A low down dirty, dirty dog.

1058
00:44:55,659 --> 00:44:56,902
And you know, let me
tell you something about

1059
00:44:56,926 --> 00:44:59,429
Miss Jackie Washington, okay.

1060
00:44:59,462 --> 00:45:01,031
She ain't.

1061
00:45:01,064 --> 00:45:02,899
Oh no, I'm not bitter.

1062
00:45:04,868 --> 00:45:07,370
No, if I was bitter, she'd be dead.

1063
00:45:07,404 --> 00:45:09,606
I mean, God bless her, she's my sister.

1064
00:45:09,639 --> 00:45:10,874
She's my sister.

1065
00:45:10,907 --> 00:45:12,151
But you know it rains every time we have

1066
00:45:12,175 --> 00:45:14,144
Jackie Washington Day in the neighborhood.

1067
00:45:14,177 --> 00:45:16,479
I didn't wanna say
that, but y'all are here,

1068
00:45:16,513 --> 00:45:18,682
you know doing a documentary on her,

1069
00:45:18,715 --> 00:45:20,417
like she's some Miss big thing.

1070
00:45:20,450 --> 00:45:22,085
She's been gone awhile, huh.

1071
00:45:22,118 --> 00:45:23,853
People

1072
00:45:23,887 --> 00:45:26,022
on Jackie Washington Day,

1073
00:45:26,056 --> 00:45:27,424
they just die.

1074
00:45:28,858 --> 00:45:30,093
You didn't know that, did you?

1075
00:45:30,126 --> 00:45:31,428
No, of course not.

1076
00:45:31,461 --> 00:45:33,063
Nobody talks about it.

1077
00:45:33,096 --> 00:45:35,932
People just at the washing
machine doing laundry, boop.

1078
00:45:35,965 --> 00:45:37,567
Jackie Washington Day.

1079
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,703
Dead.

1080
00:45:39,736 --> 00:45:41,171
I gotta tell you, honey.

1081
00:45:41,204 --> 00:45:43,139
They love me in Kinloch,

1082
00:45:43,173 --> 00:45:45,675
but it is so good to be home.

1083
00:45:45,709 --> 00:45:47,110
Whoo!

1084
00:45:47,143 --> 00:45:50,046
Antandra, baby, run mama a bath, will you.

1085
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:51,581
A'ight?

1086
00:45:51,614 --> 00:45:53,116
I'm exhausted.

1087
00:45:53,149 --> 00:45:55,752
Kinloch will wear you out.

1088
00:45:55,785 --> 00:45:56,920
You want bubbles?

1089
00:45:56,953 --> 00:45:58,088
Yeah, bubbles, oils,

1090
00:45:58,121 --> 00:46:01,624
and those dead sea salts too, baby, please.

1091
00:46:01,658 --> 00:46:03,193
She's the best, isn't she?

1092
00:46:03,226 --> 00:46:05,829
Every mother should have an Antandra.

1093
00:46:05,862 --> 00:46:07,430
Whoo!

1094
00:46:07,464 --> 00:46:08,464
Lord.

1095
00:46:09,766 --> 00:46:13,036
Jackie, I think it's
time we talked about...

1096
00:46:13,069 --> 00:46:14,170
Oh gosh,

1097
00:46:14,204 --> 00:46:16,139
I'm really not sure how to put this.

1098
00:46:16,172 --> 00:46:18,041
Come on, Edward, come on now.

1099
00:46:18,074 --> 00:46:21,044
No more questions about my sex life.

1100
00:46:21,077 --> 00:46:24,481
I'm beginning to think I turn you on.

1101
00:46:24,514 --> 00:46:26,154
I'm just doing my job, Miss Washington.

1102
00:46:27,884 --> 00:46:30,120
I see that glint in your eye.

1103
00:46:30,153 --> 00:46:33,723
Is there a little spark between us?

1104
00:46:33,757 --> 00:46:36,126
You're a very attractive woman, Jackie,

1105
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:38,528
but we need to focus here.

1106
00:46:39,629 --> 00:46:40,964
Tell me about

1107
00:46:40,997 --> 00:46:43,032
being washed up.

1108
00:46:43,066 --> 00:46:44,066
Bankrupt.

1109
00:46:44,801 --> 00:46:45,801
Broke.

1110
00:46:48,104 --> 00:46:51,141
Well, you certainly know
how to sweet talk a woman.

1111
00:46:51,174 --> 00:46:54,711
By the end of the '80s,
Peaches Yancy was played out.

1112
00:46:54,744 --> 00:46:57,147
Up to his eyeballs in money troubles.

1113
00:46:57,180 --> 00:46:59,649
Yeah, yeah, he had the IRS,

1114
00:46:59,682 --> 00:47:01,084
Vegas bookies, and

1115
00:47:01,117 --> 00:47:04,120
bounty hunters hunting him down.

1116
00:47:04,154 --> 00:47:07,791
My career suffered because of it.

1117
00:47:07,824 --> 00:47:09,993
I was desperate for a gig.

1118
00:47:12,061 --> 00:47:13,061
Any gig.

1119
00:47:13,763 --> 00:47:15,064
Any gig

1120
00:47:15,098 --> 00:47:16,599
indeed.

1121
00:47:16,633 --> 00:47:19,936
Jackie was in a downward spiral.

1122
00:47:19,969 --> 00:47:21,538
What she couldn't have known

1123
00:47:21,571 --> 00:47:24,174
was how far she would have to fall

1124
00:47:24,207 --> 00:47:25,208
before she hit

1125
00:47:25,241 --> 00:47:26,209
rock

1126
00:47:26,242 --> 00:47:27,677
bottom.

1127
00:47:27,710 --> 00:47:29,078
By the time she was 30,

1128
00:47:29,112 --> 00:47:30,914
show business had left her

1129
00:47:30,947 --> 00:47:33,016
standing out in the cold.

1130
00:47:34,250 --> 00:47:36,019
Still, as the song says,

1131
00:47:36,052 --> 00:47:40,156
she wouldn't trade it for a pot of gold.

1132
00:47:40,190 --> 00:47:43,560
And so, you had to fire Peaches Yancy.

1133
00:47:44,961 --> 00:47:48,097
It was the hardest
thing I ever did in my life.

1134
00:47:48,131 --> 00:47:53,136
He was the well from which
my career drank deeply.

1135
00:47:53,169 --> 00:47:54,237
Oh, the pain.

1136
00:47:55,638 --> 00:47:57,140
But I had no choice.

1137
00:47:57,173 --> 00:48:01,110
I, who had Grammys, a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,

1138
00:48:01,144 --> 00:48:02,779
my Image Award

1139
00:48:02,812 --> 00:48:03,812
was broke.

1140
00:48:04,981 --> 00:48:08,284
I was selling my Bob
Mackie gowns at yard sales.

1141
00:48:08,318 --> 00:48:09,652
But then

1142
00:48:09,686 --> 00:48:11,688
you found a new manager.

1143
00:48:14,357 --> 00:48:18,127
See, all Jackie needed
was a big-time, high-profile gig,

1144
00:48:18,161 --> 00:48:21,164
and I had connections inside
the Bush White House, 'cause

1145
00:48:21,197 --> 00:48:24,234
I done a little Savings and
Loan deal with Neil Bush.

1146
00:48:24,267 --> 00:48:26,970
Anywho, they were
having this charity brunch

1147
00:48:27,003 --> 00:48:28,171
for Millie Bush.

1148
00:48:28,204 --> 00:48:31,007
She's a cute little Cocker Spaniel.

1149
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,176
May she rest in peace.

1150
00:48:33,209 --> 00:48:38,214
So, I called in a few favors,
and I got Jackie to sing.

1151
00:48:38,248 --> 00:48:40,116
Jackie, is it true, that
at the White House,

1152
00:48:40,149 --> 00:48:42,218
you called Barbara Bush Millie?

1153
00:48:42,252 --> 00:48:43,152
Yeah, but I told you

1154
00:48:43,186 --> 00:48:44,697
I didn't wanna talk about that Bush thing.

1155
00:48:44,721 --> 00:48:46,322
That was a simple mistake, all right?

1156
00:48:46,356 --> 00:48:48,024
I can not be expected

1157
00:48:48,057 --> 00:48:49,869
to be expected to remember
every presidential dog.

1158
00:48:49,893 --> 00:48:52,161
Besides, Millie and
Barbara had the same hair.

1159
00:48:52,195 --> 00:48:54,697
Oh my god, look at this stage.

1160
00:48:56,199 --> 00:48:58,701
I am back where I belong.

1161
00:48:58,735 --> 00:49:00,803
Antandra, Kim, look.

1162
00:49:00,837 --> 00:49:02,138
The stage is mine.

1163
00:49:03,673 --> 00:49:05,775
This stage belongs to me.

1164
00:49:07,410 --> 00:49:09,712
Who are these skinny boys?

1165
00:49:09,746 --> 00:49:12,181
They're your dancers, Mama.

1166
00:49:17,687 --> 00:49:19,722
These are dancers?

1167
00:49:19,756 --> 00:49:22,258
This is all we could afford.

1168
00:49:25,295 --> 00:49:28,164
- Are they rehearsed?
- Yes Mama.

1169
00:49:30,099 --> 00:49:32,035
Take it from the top.

It's all wrong, Mama.

1199
00:50:52,815 --> 00:50:54,150
Too blue?

1200
00:50:54,183 --> 00:50:56,886
You need some Bastard Amber.

1201
00:50:58,021 --> 00:50:59,922
You heard the girl.

1202
00:50:59,956 --> 00:51:02,992
I'm gonna need some Bastard Amber.

1203
00:51:03,026 --> 00:51:05,028
- I got it.
- Bastard.

1204
00:51:07,864 --> 00:51:09,165
What happened to that boy?

1205
00:51:09,198 --> 00:51:11,334
Somebody trying to sabotage me tonight.

1206
00:51:11,367 --> 00:51:13,169
Get him, Tommy.

1207
00:51:13,202 --> 00:51:15,104
Now, see this?

1208
00:51:15,138 --> 00:51:18,007
That's two kitties playing
with a ball of string.

1209
00:51:18,041 --> 00:51:19,942
It's pretty adorable, huh?

1210
00:51:19,976 --> 00:51:21,244
That's needlepoint,

1211
00:51:21,277 --> 00:51:22,921
and I'll tell you, it's
been a lifesaver for me.

1212
00:51:22,945 --> 00:51:24,056
'Cause I'll get up in the morning,

1213
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,749
and I'll start needlepointing
the little kitty's face,

1214
00:51:26,783 --> 00:51:28,885
and before I know it, it's time for lunch.

1215
00:51:28,918 --> 00:51:30,186
Now I'll come back,

1216
00:51:30,219 --> 00:51:31,830
and I'll needle point the big kitty's paws,

1217
00:51:31,854 --> 00:51:33,089
then it's time for bed.

1218
00:51:33,122 --> 00:51:35,458
I mean, the days just fly by.

1219
00:51:35,491 --> 00:51:38,761
I highly recommend
it if you haven't tried it.

1220
00:51:38,795 --> 00:51:39,795
Any way.

1221
00:51:41,497 --> 00:51:44,367
I know that we're here
to talk about Jackie.

1222
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:47,236
I just wanna say, it's true.

1223
00:51:47,270 --> 00:51:49,439
I took her to the cleaners.

1224
00:51:49,472 --> 00:51:51,541
Interview me!

1225
00:51:51,574 --> 00:51:53,042
But listen.

1226
00:51:53,076 --> 00:51:54,110
If it wasn't for me,

1227
00:51:54,143 --> 00:51:56,145
she wouldn't have had
the income I could rip off

1228
00:51:56,179 --> 00:51:57,880
when I created that cosmetic crap.

1229
00:51:57,914 --> 00:51:59,348
- Yo, why y'all talking...
- Hey,

1230
00:51:59,382 --> 00:52:02,151
good luck in the comeback, kiddo.

1231
00:52:03,986 --> 00:52:05,464
Listen, if you guys need anything else,

1232
00:52:05,488 --> 00:52:07,557
you know where to find me, okay?

1233
00:52:07,590 --> 00:52:08,758
Gonna be here a little while.

1234
00:52:08,791 --> 00:52:12,161
Hey, can we maybe get a
copy I can screen for the fellas?

1235
00:52:13,930 --> 00:52:17,033
And I promise it won't be so
darn dirty in here next time.

1236

00:52:24,974 --> 00:52:26,209
Sorry.

00:52:41,124 --> 00:52:44,393
the legendary pop diva, Jackie Washington.

1247
00:52:44,427 --> 00:52:45,495
Welcome.

1248
00:52:45,528 --> 00:52:47,230
Thank you, Pammy.

1249
00:52:47,263 --> 00:52:49,074
Well, why don't you tell
us about the special needs

1250
00:52:49,098 --> 00:52:51,400
of Afro-American skin and hair.

1251
00:52:51,434 --> 00:52:52,535
Certainly.

1252
00:52:52,568 --> 00:52:54,137
When it comes to skin,

1253
00:52:54,170 --> 00:52:57,206
you wanna be on the
look out for ashy dryness.

1254
00:52:57,240 --> 00:52:58,941
And as for hair,

1255
00:52:58,975 --> 00:53:00,843
it can turn nappy.

1256
00:53:00,877 --> 00:53:03,246
Oh, nappy, that's cute.

1257
00:53:03,279 --> 00:53:04,947
Now, I understand that you've worked

1258
00:53:04,981 --> 00:53:06,949

1259
00:53:06,983 --> 00:53:09,385
and you've come up with a very special,

00:53:09,418 --> 00:53:13,089

00:53:16,192 --> 00:53:17,960
of Jackie.

1264
00:53:17,994 --> 00:53:21,097
And you personally
discovered the secret ingredient

1265
00:53:21,130 --> 00:53:22,298
in your toner.

1266
00:53:22,331 --> 00:53:23,566
That's right.

1267
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:26,335
Pickle juice.

1268
00:53:26,369 --> 00:53:28,237
And not just any pickle juice.

1269
00:53:28,271 --> 00:53:32,175
But the unadulterated
juice of a rare kosher dill.

1270
00:53:32,208 --> 00:53:36,045
Handmade by Orthodox Jews in the Amazon.

1271
00:53:36,078 --> 00:53:38,181
That's fantastic.

1272
00:53:38,214 --> 00:53:41,150
What do you got for the hair?

1273
00:53:41,184 --> 00:53:45,254
A relaxer.

1274
00:53:46,289 --> 00:53:48,057
Smells yummy.

1275
00:53:48,090 --> 00:53:49,559
Go ahead on and taste it, girl.

1276
00:53:49,592 --> 00:53:51,260
Go ahead on.

1277
00:53:51,294 --> 00:53:53,329
There's no harsh chemicals.

1278
00:53:59,268 --> 00:54:01,504
I'm standing here at
Queen of Angels Hospital

1279
00:54:01,537 --> 00:54:04,240
where the fifth woman in 24 hours

1280
00:54:04,273 --> 00:54:08,177
has been admitted with
severe chemical scalp burns

1281
00:54:08,211 --> 00:54:11,113
after using Essence of Jackie hair relaxer.

1282
00:54:11,147 --> 00:54:13,916
Now, the FDA has recalled this product.

1283
00:54:13,950 --> 00:54:17,253
If you have it in your home, please

1284
00:54:17,286 --> 00:54:18,621
do not touch it.

1285
00:54:19,455 --> 00:54:21,190
Not even the box.

1286
00:54:21,224 --> 00:54:24,126
The FDA will come and remove it safely.

1287
00:54:25,661 --> 00:54:28,598
People, I stand by Essence of Jackie.

1288
00:54:28,631 --> 00:54:32,001
Everyone of these products was tested,

1289
00:54:32,034 --> 00:54:36,105
and not just on rabbits,
monkeys, and Chihuahuas,

1290
00:54:37,306 --> 00:54:40,142
I tested this stuff on my own daughters.

1291
00:54:40,176 --> 00:54:43,713
If someone is tampering with my relaxer,

1292
00:54:43,746 --> 00:54:44,746
I beg you,

1293
00:54:45,548 --> 00:54:47,116
please stop.

1294
00:54:49,585 --> 00:54:52,188
And one more thing my
lawyers want me to say,

1295
00:54:52,221 --> 00:54:56,259
I never advertised
Essence of Jackie for dogs.

1296
00:54:57,326 --> 00:55:00,596
Some woman talking about
her poodle hair came out the dog.

1297
00:55:00,630 --> 00:55:02,999
There's a big lawsuit
of my own going on now.

1298
00:55:03,032 --> 00:55:04,200
She about killed my dog.

1299
00:55:04,233 --> 00:55:06,235
I have this little poodle, Fluffy.

1300
00:55:06,269 --> 00:55:08,437
I mean, there's some
kind of pickle juice they had

1301
00:55:08,471 --> 00:55:12,275
in those cosmetics and they tested it on...

1302
00:55:12,308 --> 00:55:13,743
My dog's hair all fell out.

1303
00:55:13,776 --> 00:55:16,245
I mean, I'm really not even
supposed to be talking about it.

1304
00:55:16,279 --> 00:55:17,713
In fact this interview is over.

1305
00:55:17,747 --> 00:55:19,348
I'm done, done, done.

1306
00:55:19,382 --> 00:55:22,184
I'm under court order
not to talk about it, Edward.

1307
00:55:22,218 --> 00:55:24,053
It's still in litigation.

1308
00:55:24,086 --> 00:55:25,988
It's a nightmare.

1309
00:55:26,022 --> 00:55:28,557
'Cause I'm telling you this
product is safe enough to use

1310
00:55:28,591 --> 00:55:29,959
as a chip dip.

1311
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:36,165
I think I still got a couple of
jars around here somewhere.

1312
00:55:36,198 --> 00:55:37,500
Yeah.

1313
00:55:37,533 --> 00:55:39,235
Here it is.

1314
00:55:39,268 --> 00:55:40,269
Look at this.

1315
00:55:40,303 --> 00:55:42,305
This stuff didn't hurt anybody.

1316
00:55:42,338 --> 00:55:44,273
Never could.

1317
00:55:44,307 --> 00:55:45,307
Look.

1318
00:55:50,212 --> 00:55:52,248
Okay, cut it.

1319
00:55:52,281 --> 00:55:53,281
Cut.

1320
00:55:54,383 --> 00:55:55,651
Cut it, baby.

1321
00:55:57,820 --> 00:55:58,820
Cut it!

1322
00:56:00,222 --> 00:56:03,192
We know Jackie the star, Jackie the wife,

1323
00:56:03,225 --> 00:56:06,395
let's explore Jackie the mother.

1324
00:56:06,429 --> 00:56:08,397
Well, all right.

1325
00:56:08,431 --> 00:56:10,700
Well, here's Shaniqua right here.

1326
00:56:10,733 --> 00:56:12,668
Always so serious.

1327
00:56:12,702 --> 00:56:15,371
She's always been mature like that.

1328
00:56:15,404 --> 00:56:17,573
Her first word was mascara.

1329
00:56:17,606 --> 00:56:20,810
Wonder where she learned that.

1330
00:56:20,843 --> 00:56:23,512
And here's little baby Antandra.

1331
00:56:26,282 --> 00:56:27,350
You know,

1332
00:56:27,383 --> 00:56:30,219
being one of the world's
most beloved entertainers

1333
00:56:30,252 --> 00:56:32,088
has had its rewards.

1334
00:56:32,121 --> 00:56:33,289
But I must say,

1335
00:56:33,322 --> 00:56:34,557
my greatest joy

1336
00:56:35,624 --> 00:56:37,293
has been motherhood.

1337
00:56:38,661 --> 00:56:42,398
My mother's house was a tower of lies.

1338
00:56:42,431 --> 00:56:47,303
Has she told you yet that my
daddy was Peaches Yancy?

1339
00:56:47,336 --> 00:56:50,806
'Cause I didn't know until I was 19.

1340
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,675
My mother didn't even tell me herself.

1341
00:56:52,708 --> 00:56:56,746
I had to learn from her
friend Snookie back in Kinloch.

1342
00:56:56,779 --> 00:56:58,147
Mama?

1343
00:56:58,180 --> 00:57:00,082
Are you talking about Grandma again?

1344
00:57:00,116 --> 00:57:01,384
Wilson, that camera is on,

1345
00:57:01,417 --> 00:57:02,494
and you don't want your grandmother

1346
00:57:02,518 --> 00:57:04,453
to hear you calling her Grandma.

1347
00:57:04,487 --> 00:57:06,155
Okay.

1348
00:57:06,188 --> 00:57:08,257
Are you talking about Jackie again?

1349
00:57:08,290 --> 00:57:09,291
Yes, baby.

1350
00:57:13,396 --> 00:57:15,664
Here's the three of us in a hotel.

1351
00:57:15,698 --> 00:57:18,401
We always had so much fun traveling.

1352
00:57:18,434 --> 00:57:19,434
Didn't we?

1353
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:23,105
Jackie, come clean.

1354
00:57:23,139 --> 00:57:25,307
Let your hair down, level with me.

1355
00:57:25,341 --> 00:57:28,778
What went wrong between you and Shaniqua?

1356
00:57:28,811 --> 00:57:30,379
What alienated her?

1357
00:57:32,882 --> 00:57:36,552
Shaniqua has always
been a difficult child.

1358
00:57:36,585 --> 00:57:40,256
I'm crushed that she
doesn't let me speak to her.

1359
00:57:40,289 --> 00:57:42,625
But at least she lets
me talk to the children.

1360
00:57:42,658 --> 00:57:46,829
But you don't let the
children call you Grandma.

1361
00:57:50,232 --> 00:57:53,302
Do I look like a grandmother to you?

1362
00:57:53,335 --> 00:57:54,370
Huh?

1363
00:57:55,271 --> 00:57:56,238
But hey, you know,

1364
00:57:56,272 --> 00:57:59,241
the sad thing about this
whole Shaniqua business

1365
00:57:59,275 --> 00:58:01,410
is life is too short.

1366
00:58:01,444 --> 00:58:03,813
Honey, we live in California.

1367
00:58:03,846 --> 00:58:08,217
An earthquake, you know,

1368
00:58:08,984 --> 00:58:12,354
could come up in here,
kill us all in a minute.

1369
00:58:12,388 --> 00:58:14,290
Mama, I've talked to Shaniqua,

1370
00:58:14,323 --> 00:58:17,293
and she told me she's missing you so much.

1371
00:58:17,326 --> 00:58:19,228
She really wants to see you, Mama.

1372
00:58:19,261 --> 00:58:23,365
Yeah, well then, why don't she call me?

1373
00:58:23,399 --> 00:58:24,399
What?

1374
00:58:25,835 --> 00:58:27,312
Mother can pick up the phone and call me

1375
00:58:27,336 --> 00:58:28,437
anytime she wants.

1376
00:58:28,471 --> 00:58:30,806
She's just too proud, because
in her heart she realizes

1377
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,310
that what's gone wrong
between us is entirely her fault.

1378
00:58:34,343 --> 00:58:35,620
Well, you know I
actually received a letter

1379
00:58:35,644 --> 00:58:37,480
from Jackie's daughter Shaniqua.

1380
00:58:37,513 --> 00:58:40,382
She told me that she
was writing a tell-all book

1381
00:58:40,416 --> 00:58:41,383
about her mother.

1382
00:58:41,417 --> 00:58:42,618
I believe

1383
00:58:42,651 --> 00:58:45,788
it's called What My Mother Did to Me.

1384
00:58:45,821 --> 00:58:48,524
I would like to take the
time to tell Shaniqua,

1385
00:58:48,557 --> 00:58:50,426
Jackie, if you're watching out there,

1386
00:58:50,459 --> 00:58:54,797
you have an open invitation to
discuss anything on my show.

1387
00:58:54,830 --> 00:58:57,333
I promise things would be treated fairly.

1388
00:58:57,366 --> 00:58:59,635
We could discuss everything; you're safe.

1389
00:58:59,668 --> 00:59:02,404
I don't make a habit of
soliciting my guests, but

1390
00:59:02,438 --> 00:59:07,243
I would love to have
you on if you find the time.

1391
00:59:07,276 --> 00:59:08,410
Antandra.

1392
00:59:08,444 --> 00:59:12,982
What's it like having Jackie
Washington as your mother?

1393
00:59:13,015 --> 00:59:14,717
Mama and me?

1394
00:59:14,750 --> 00:59:16,452
We get along.

1395
00:59:16,485 --> 00:59:18,354
She's alright.

1396
00:59:18,387 --> 00:59:21,724
She can't help it if she got bad nerves.

1397
00:59:23,259 --> 00:59:25,294
If she scream at me,

1398
00:59:25,327 --> 00:59:26,529
then later on

1399
00:59:26,562 --> 00:59:29,665
she'll buy me something nice on sale.

1400
00:59:30,866 --> 00:59:33,536
She does the best that she can do.

1401
00:59:33,569 --> 00:59:36,238
Can't expect more than that.

1402
00:59:36,272 --> 00:59:37,540
In the end,

1403
00:59:37,573 --> 00:59:39,975
you only get one mama.

1404
00:59:40,009 --> 00:59:41,243
Right?

1405
00:59:44,013 --> 00:59:46,315
Jackie Washington

1406
00:59:46,348 --> 00:59:47,348
is my mama.

1407
00:59:49,385 --> 00:59:53,355
I know I didn't do right by Shaniqua,

1408
00:59:53,389 --> 00:59:56,492
that's why I've always
kept Antandra with me.

1409
00:59:56,525 --> 00:59:58,327
Antandra's my girl.

1410
00:59:59,962 --> 01:00:02,798
She grew up on the road, we had tutors.

1411
01:00:02,831 --> 01:00:05,501
We live for each other.

1412
01:00:05,534 --> 01:00:08,637
'Course now, I'm always
on her about her posture.

1413
01:00:08,671 --> 01:00:13,309
You know feminine
beauty is all about carriage.

1414
01:00:13,342 --> 01:00:14,543
Sit up, Antandra.

1415
01:00:16,579 --> 01:00:18,047
Jackie's a diva.

1416
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:22,017
I think if you look in
the dictionary for the word

1417
01:00:22,051 --> 01:00:24,453
diva, you'd probably see Jackie's picture.

1418
01:00:24,486 --> 01:00:28,791
A diva is a very spoiled singer who lies,

1419
01:00:28,824 --> 01:00:30,326
like Jackie.

1420
01:00:30,359 --> 01:00:32,928
It's a larger-than-life creature

1421
01:00:32,962 --> 01:00:36,432
who can turn on a dime, or on a friend.

1422
01:00:36,465 --> 01:00:40,069
It's a word that some gay man made up.

1423
01:00:40,102 --> 01:00:41,470
What is a diva?

1424
01:00:41,503 --> 01:00:43,038
A dumb

1425
01:00:43,072 --> 01:00:44,073
ignorant

1426
01:00:44,106 --> 01:00:47,710
vicious.

1427
01:00:47,743 --> 01:00:50,980
And if that's what Jackie
calls herself, she's right.

1428
01:00:51,013 --> 01:00:52,548
Sex, sex, sex.

1429
01:00:53,916 --> 01:00:56,018
This is what Jackie
Washington was all about.

1430
01:00:56,051 --> 01:00:57,152
What a woman.

1431
01:00:57,186 --> 01:00:59,922
I mean, she was so fantastic
and way before her time.

1432
01:00:59,955 --> 01:01:02,891
The royal scandals, the
debauchery, the drugs,

1433
01:01:02,925 --> 01:01:05,027
so as a writer, I kind
of like, you know think,

1434
01:01:05,060 --> 01:01:07,062
oh wow, I've gotta write about this woman.

1435
01:01:07,096 --> 01:01:09,565
And then of course, when she died,

1436
01:01:09,598 --> 01:01:11,066
I was like compelled.

1437
01:01:11,100 --> 01:01:12,410
It was almost as if she was speaking to me.

1438
01:01:12,434 --> 01:01:14,069
I had to write about her.

1439
01:01:14,103 --> 01:01:15,804
Jackie's not dead.

1440
01:01:15,838 --> 01:01:17,606
What do you mean, she's not dead.

1441
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,441
She choked on a chitlin or something.

1442
01:01:19,475 --> 01:01:21,110
It was in all the papers.

1443
01:01:21,143 --> 01:01:22,378
No.

1444
01:01:22,411 --> 01:01:24,013
You're telling me she's not dead?

1445
01:01:24,046 --> 01:01:25,347
Oh my god.

1446
01:01:25,381 --> 01:01:26,849
I've gotta stop this interview.

1447
01:01:26,882 --> 01:01:27,816
I gotta call my lawyer.

1448
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:29,351
I just feel like

1449
01:01:30,552 --> 01:01:33,088
Jackie has made the world her bed,

1450
01:01:33,122 --> 01:01:35,724
and I'm just a pretty sham.

1451
01:01:35,758 --> 01:01:38,927
Compared to Jackie
Washington's life, my life

1452
01:01:38,961 --> 01:01:40,062
seems sedate.

1453
01:01:40,963 --> 01:01:42,865
She ain't coming back.

1454
01:01:42,898 --> 01:01:43,898
She gone.

1455
01:01:44,900 --> 01:01:46,435
That's why y'all doing the documentary

1456
01:01:46,468 --> 01:01:48,604
to help her come back.

1457
01:01:48,637 --> 01:01:50,105
But see, if it had been me,

1458
01:01:50,139 --> 01:01:51,540
y'all wouldn't be here,

1459
01:01:51,573 --> 01:01:52,917
'cause I wouldn't have gone no where.

1460
01:01:52,941 --> 01:01:55,544
Would have been Diana
Ross, Aretha Franklin,

1461
01:01:55,577 --> 01:01:58,113
and Ethyl Washington.

1462
01:01:58,147 --> 01:01:59,381
Talk to me, fellas.

1463
01:01:59,415 --> 01:02:00,816
What's the problem here?

1464
01:02:00,849 --> 01:02:03,419
It's real simple, Miss Washington.

1465
01:02:03,452 --> 01:02:06,021
We need to make sure
we're going to get paid.

1466
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:07,122
Oh, oh, look now,

1467
01:02:07,156 --> 01:02:09,134
I know there's been a
little mix-up with the money,

1468
01:02:09,158 --> 01:02:11,727
but I've spoken to my manager Barry,

1469
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:15,464
he's stuck on the 101,
but he's bringing the check.

1470
01:02:15,497 --> 01:02:17,833
At this point, it's
gonna have to be cash.

1471
01:02:19,535 --> 01:02:21,837
Okay, alright, alright,
as soon as he gets here,

1472
01:02:21,870 --> 01:02:26,041
we'll have him turn around
and find the nearest bank.

1473
01:02:26,075 --> 01:02:28,444
Thanks ma'am, we know it's not you.

1474
01:02:28,477 --> 01:02:30,045
Ma'am?

1475
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:31,880
No need to be so formal, darling.

1476
01:02:31,914 --> 01:02:33,615
Please, call me Jackie.

1477
01:02:33,649 --> 01:02:35,117
Yeah, whatever.

1478
01:02:35,150 --> 01:02:38,120
It's just that that's why we have a union

1479
01:02:38,153 --> 01:02:39,153
to protect us.

1480
01:02:40,155 --> 01:02:41,724
Well,

1481
01:02:41,757 --> 01:02:44,860
my heart has always
been with the working man.

1482
01:02:44,893 --> 01:02:47,529

It's not working too well.

1489

Listen, why don't y'all
just scurry on off, people,

1490
01:03:06,815 --> 01:03:11,053
scurry on off, and go on
about your important business.

1491
01:03:11,086 --> 01:03:14,056
Leave Jackie to worry about the money.

1492
01:03:15,090 --> 01:03:16,090
Okay?

1493
01:03:16,992 --> 01:03:19,795

bastard Barry on the line.

Tell him we're on the

1495
01:03:22,097 --> 01:03:24,066
Yes, Mama.

01:03:24,099 --> 01:03:26,201
And don't slouch, baby, please.

The money is coming, people.

1500
01:03:39,047 --> 01:03:41,683
That's a promise from Jackie.

1501
01:03:45,854 --> 01:03:47,656
So much has already been said

1502
01:03:47,689 --> 01:03:51,226
about the influence of
Peaches Yancy on Jackie's life.

1503
01:03:53,695 --> 01:03:55,764
He was every major male figure in her life

1504
01:03:55,798 --> 01:03:57,099
at one time or another.

1505
01:03:57,132 --> 01:03:59,168
Mentor, father,

1506
01:03:59,201 --> 01:04:00,836
lover,

1507
01:04:00,869 --> 01:04:04,873
all the elements of a Greek
tragedy laced with soul.

1508
01:04:06,008 --> 01:04:08,577
Whoo, back in the day.

1509
01:04:08,610 --> 01:04:12,114
Jackie used to call me
all the time from the road.

1510
01:04:12,147 --> 01:04:13,649
I was gonna go on the road myself,

1511
01:04:13,682 --> 01:04:15,250
if I hadn't had that seventh child.

1512
01:04:15,284 --> 01:04:17,119
I was, I was, but...

1513
01:04:17,152 --> 01:04:18,754
Anyway.

1514
01:04:18,787 --> 01:04:19,855
She called me, she said,

1515
01:04:19,888 --> 01:04:23,025
Peaches this, and Peaches that.

1516
01:04:23,058 --> 01:04:25,170
She was eating all the peaches
she could get her hand on.

1517
01:04:25,194 --> 01:04:28,530
Sent me some peach
cologne, peach soap, honey.

1518
01:04:28,564 --> 01:04:30,766
Peach, called everything was peach, honey.

1519
01:04:30,799 --> 01:04:33,168
I told her, girl, you in love
with you some Peaches.

1520
01:04:34,703 --> 01:04:38,307
And she just laugh at me
and tell me I was crazy.

1521
01:04:38,340 --> 01:04:40,876
But I wasn't, I was right.

1522
01:04:40,909 --> 01:04:43,045
But I tell you this.

1523
01:04:43,078 --> 01:04:45,881
Even though her and Peaches
had a parting of the ways,

1524
01:04:45,914 --> 01:04:48,884
honey, she was tore up from the floor up

1525
01:04:48,917 --> 01:04:52,588
when he married that
17-year-old girl, oh yeah.

1526
01:04:52,621 --> 01:04:54,332
'Cause you know after
all, he was the father

1527
01:04:54,356 --> 01:04:56,191
of her babies.

1528
01:04:56,225 --> 01:04:57,893
What?

1529
01:04:57,926 --> 01:05:00,162
You did know that, didn't you?

1530
01:05:00,195 --> 01:05:01,263
Now Jackie, you know me.

1531
01:05:01,296 --> 01:05:03,699
I'm not the kind to put
your business in the street.

1532
01:05:03,732 --> 01:05:05,167
I'd never do nothing like that.

1533
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,045
Like I said, I don't tell
nobody your business.

1534
01:05:07,069 --> 01:05:08,847
I ain't said nothing
about that affair you had

1535
01:05:08,871 --> 01:05:11,106
with Cadillac, and...

1536
01:05:11,139 --> 01:05:15,644
Everybody in the industry
owes the man big time.

1537
01:05:15,677 --> 01:05:16,979
Like, Quincy Jones and I

1538
01:05:17,012 --> 01:05:19,214
were talking about Peaches last night, and

1539
01:05:19,248 --> 01:05:21,083
Quincy said it best.

1540
01:05:21,116 --> 01:05:22,684
Peaches was a peach.

1541
01:05:31,159 --> 01:05:34,663
Peaches Yancy died
suddenly from food poisoning

1542
01:05:34,696 --> 01:05:38,867
after eating salmon patties
from a vending machine.

1543
01:05:38,901 --> 01:05:42,571
I had not seen mother
in nearly two years,

1544
01:05:43,872 --> 01:05:46,208
and then last spring,
she came by to tell me

1545
01:05:46,241 --> 01:05:50,112
that Peaches had died from food poisoning.

1546
01:05:50,145 --> 01:05:53,181
First I thought maybe she had poisoned him.

1547
01:05:53,215 --> 01:05:54,215
But,

1548
01:05:55,017 --> 01:05:56,127
when I saw how upset she was,

1549
01:05:56,151 --> 01:05:58,887
I was touched she made
the effort to tell me herself.

1550
01:05:58,921 --> 01:06:00,756
Although, I still didn't wanna talk to her.

1551
01:06:03,158 --> 01:06:05,227
The irony of it all is,

1552
01:06:05,260 --> 01:06:07,963
Mother would always say
Peaches would eat anything.

1553
01:06:07,996 --> 01:06:10,132
Don't ever eat with Peaches.

1554
01:06:12,067 --> 01:06:15,170
She was right about something.

1555
01:06:15,203 --> 01:06:17,940
You know how hard it
was for me to say that?

1556
01:06:17,973 --> 01:06:20,042
We are all remorseful,

1557
01:06:20,075 --> 01:06:22,144
and we are all going to miss him.

1558
01:06:22,177 --> 01:06:24,046
But like I said before,

1559
01:06:24,079 --> 01:06:28,183
Peaches Yancy was a
world leader in his field.

1560
01:06:28,216 --> 01:06:29,885
Yeah.

1561
01:06:29,918 --> 01:06:32,154
Peaches is gone, but he didn't yield.

1562
01:06:32,187 --> 01:06:34,122
He went through quite a few stop lights,

1563
01:06:34,156 --> 01:06:37,092
even though he read the
signs that said walk, don't walk.

1564
01:06:37,125 --> 01:06:38,727
Walk, don't walk.

1565
01:06:40,162 --> 01:06:42,798
Sing it, Sister Mary.

01:07:59,474 --> 01:08:02,811
Yeah, that was rock bottom.

1590
01:08:02,844 --> 01:08:06,882
When I fell into Peaches's
grave, I had a voice.

1591
01:08:06,915 --> 01:08:10,085
When they pulled me out, it was gone.

1592
01:08:10,118 --> 01:08:13,155
I mean, I'd open my mouth to sing, and.

1593
01:08:16,191 --> 01:08:17,759
I tell you Edward,

1594
01:08:18,860 --> 01:08:21,196
I've lost a lot in this life.

You once said that losing your voice

1596
01:08:24,266 --> 01:08:26,034
saved your life.

1597
01:08:26,068 --> 01:08:28,170
Well it made me look within,

1598
01:08:28,203 --> 01:08:30,272

I remember

1610
01:09:04,372 --> 01:09:07,309
a lot of people liked her a
lot better without her voice.

1611
01:09:07,342 --> 01:09:10,145
Jackie Washington's voice

1612
01:09:10,178 --> 01:09:11,413
is sultry,

1613
01:09:11,446 --> 01:09:12,446

01:09:16,151 --> 01:09:18,186
When I was about 15,

1617
01:09:18,220 --> 01:09:19,597
I happened to have the pleasure of singing

1618
01:09:19,621 --> 01:09:21,256
background vocals for her.

1619
01:09:21,289 --> 01:09:24,025
And at the time, she must have been already

1620
01:09:24,059 --> 01:09:27,129
maybe 49, or 50, or
something, so you can imagine.

1621
01:09:27,162 --> 01:09:29,998
But for me, it was a wonderful experience.

1622
01:09:30,031 --> 01:09:32,100
Her voice is something like chicken fat.

1623
01:09:49,084 --> 01:09:50,585
We're here eavesdropping

1624
01:09:50,619 --> 01:09:54,189
on a session with Jackie's
vocal coach, the renowned

1625
01:09:54,222 --> 01:09:57,626
- Miss Jo Face.
- Fa-chay, Fa-chay,

1626
01:09:57,659 --> 01:10:00,929
Fa-chay, the Italian pronunciation.

1627
01:10:00,962 --> 01:10:02,097
Oh, I'm so sorry.

1628
01:10:02,130 --> 01:10:03,130
Capisce.

1629
01:10:04,232 --> 01:10:05,167
So,

1630
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:06,201
Ms. Fa-chay.

1631
01:10:06,868 --> 01:10:09,271
You're known as an opera coach.

1632
01:10:09,304 --> 01:10:12,507
How is it to work with a
pop singer like Jackie?

1633
01:10:12,541 --> 01:10:17,145
I make no distinction,
because you see it is all about

1634
01:10:17,179 --> 01:10:20,382
the vol-chay.

1635
01:10:20,415 --> 01:10:24,119
You see, Jackie has a
naturally, very loud instrument,

1636
01:10:24,152 --> 01:10:27,889
but when she came to me,
she had blown it up, blown it out.

1637
01:10:27,923 --> 01:10:32,227
And so, we had to very
slowly, and very gently

1638
01:10:32,260 --> 01:10:36,598
restore her to vocal health.

1639
01:10:36,631 --> 01:10:38,466
This saintly woman

1640
01:10:38,500 --> 01:10:43,171
restored my voice.

1641
01:10:43,205 --> 01:10:44,906
Her voice restored,

1642
01:10:44,940 --> 01:10:47,576
Jackie quickly signed with Barry Price,

1643
01:10:47,609 --> 01:10:49,244
her current manager,

1644
01:10:49,277 --> 01:10:50,378
whom we should add,

1645
01:10:50,412 --> 01:10:54,115
steadfastly refused to
be interviewed for this film.

1646
01:10:54,149 --> 01:10:58,286
Barry wasted no time putting
Jackie on the comeback trail.

1647
01:11:00,956 --> 01:11:04,292
I have Jackie on albums,
on tapes, and on CDs.

1648
01:11:04,326 --> 01:11:06,294
And so, this is it.

1649
01:11:06,328 --> 01:11:09,097
The night Jackie has been waiting for.

1650
01:11:09,130 --> 01:11:11,600
It's been a hard road back for Jackie.

1651
01:11:11,633 --> 01:11:13,101
But tonight,

1652
01:11:13,134 --> 01:11:14,703
she comes out.

1653
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:20,976
I named my two kids after you, Jackie.

1654
01:11:21,009 --> 01:11:22,244
Jackie and Jackie.

1655
01:11:22,277 --> 01:11:25,213
And when I call, they both come.

1656
01:11:25,247 --> 01:11:28,984
♪ Baby, baby, baby, can't you see

1657
01:11:29,017 --> 01:11:32,387
♪ My body is a temple so worship me

1658
01:11:32,420 --> 01:11:35,557
♪ Just like aphrodite in a nightie

1659
01:11:38,193 --> 01:11:41,129
Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry.

1660
01:11:41,162 --> 01:11:43,732
Oh, I'm so excited, I love you, Liza.

1661
01:11:43,765 --> 01:11:47,269
No, this is a Jackie Washington concert.

1662
01:11:47,302 --> 01:11:49,704
The Love Goddess? Eh.

1663
01:11:49,738 --> 01:11:52,574
Oh, every important event in my life is

1664
01:11:52,607 --> 01:11:55,710
associated with one of Jackie's hits.

1665
01:11:56,344 --> 01:11:58,747
I hope she has another hit soon.

1666
01:11:58,780 --> 01:12:01,216
My life's gotten so boring.

1667
01:12:01,249 --> 01:12:03,618
You sure this isn't the Liza concert?

1668
01:12:05,153 --> 01:12:06,187
No.

1669
01:12:07,122 --> 01:12:10,158
The press has always
had it in for Jackie.

1670
01:12:10,191 --> 01:12:12,727
I have never believed the nasty trash

1671
01:12:12,761 --> 01:12:15,163
they've written about her.

1672
01:12:15,196 --> 01:12:16,665
I have a chart here.

1673
01:12:16,698 --> 01:12:19,401
It's a seating chart
for the divas in heaven.

1674
01:12:19,434 --> 01:12:21,569
Maria Callas is on the right hand of God,

1675
01:12:21,603 --> 01:12:23,672
and Jackie is two seats from the left,

1676
01:12:23,705 --> 01:12:25,473
right next to Peggy Lee.

1677
01:12:25,507 --> 01:12:27,776
So, don't say mean things about Jackie,

1678
01:12:27,809 --> 01:12:30,245
because God will smite you.

1679
01:12:31,546 --> 01:12:33,114
I love you, Jackie.

1680
01:12:33,148 --> 01:12:35,717
Man, when she wrote this song,

1681
01:12:35,750 --> 01:12:38,753
Take Your Jeri Curl and Go,

1682
01:12:38,787 --> 01:12:41,456
man, I used to have a Jeri curl.

1683
01:12:42,557 --> 01:12:46,294
And my woman left me.

1684
01:12:46,328 --> 01:12:49,030
I can hear the song right now.

1685
01:12:49,731 --> 01:12:52,500
♪ Take your Jeri curl and go

1686
01:12:52,534 --> 01:12:56,104
♪ Just drip, drip, drip on

1687
01:12:56,137 --> 01:13:00,041
Jackie came to see my
opening night on Broadway, and

1688
01:13:00,075 --> 01:13:01,276
as I've told her many times,

1689
01:13:01,309 --> 01:13:02,777
you know it was my dream always,

1690
01:13:02,811 --> 01:13:05,647
and when I saw her
there in the front row, it just

1691
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,183
really got to me, 'cause
I was so touched by her.

1692
01:13:08,216 --> 01:13:10,518
By her being there.

1693
01:13:10,552 --> 01:13:12,354
Right after intermission,
I looked down again

1694
01:13:12,387 --> 01:13:15,523
to get some moral support,
and she was sleeping.

1695
01:13:15,557 --> 01:13:16,725
Yeah, I know.

1696
01:13:16,758 --> 01:13:18,202
At first, it hurt me, but then I realized

1697
01:13:18,226 --> 01:13:20,195
she must have been tired and everything.

1698
01:13:20,228 --> 01:13:21,196
She started to snore.

1699
01:13:21,229 --> 01:13:22,364
She had a little bit of,

1700
01:13:22,397 --> 01:13:24,632
little bit of drool, and I
tried to sing my ballad loud

1701
01:13:24,666 --> 01:13:27,335
to wake her up, but she was out.

1702
01:13:28,770 --> 01:13:30,481
The great thing about
her, in true Jackie style,

1703
01:13:30,505 --> 01:13:32,416
she came backstage, and I
said, how'd you like the show,

1704
01:13:32,440 --> 01:13:34,151
and she said, baby, the
second act was the best.

1705
01:13:34,175 --> 01:13:36,111
I didn't have the heart to tell her

1706
01:13:36,144 --> 01:13:38,179
that I saw she was sleeping.

1707
01:13:38,213 --> 01:13:39,280
That's my Jackie, right.

1708
01:13:39,314 --> 01:13:40,248
There's no one like her.

1709
01:13:40,281 --> 01:13:43,218
It was when I first
moved to New York, and

1710
01:13:43,251 --> 01:13:46,721
like every wannabe
actor, I was waiting tables.

1711
01:13:46,755 --> 01:13:50,759
I was working at this SandM
restaurant called Slappy's, right.

1712
01:13:53,294 --> 01:13:56,831
Jackie comes in with this
entourage of these uptown divas.

1713
01:13:56,865 --> 01:14:01,469
We've got Aretha, there was
Patti La'elle, Diahann Carroll,

1714
01:14:01,503 --> 01:14:04,305
Bea Arthur, you know, whatever, right.

1715
01:14:04,339 --> 01:14:06,307
And they're all just sitting around

1716
01:14:06,341 --> 01:14:09,310
knocking back these tequila
shooters, and doing their nails.

1717
01:14:09,344 --> 01:14:11,579
So, Jackie comes up to
me, she goes, girl, come here.

1718
01:14:11,613 --> 01:14:13,581
Can you just go down to the drug store

1719
01:14:13,615 --> 01:14:16,551
and get me some nail polish remover?

1720
01:14:16,584 --> 01:14:18,153
Sure, whatever, right.

1721
01:14:18,186 --> 01:14:19,421
So, I go, and

1722
01:14:19,454 --> 01:14:22,257
when I come back, she gives me the best tip

1723
01:14:22,290 --> 01:14:23,491
I have ever gotten.

1724
01:14:23,525 --> 01:14:25,193
She says to me, girl,

1725
01:14:25,226 --> 01:14:27,429
whatever you do, don't
you ever lose weight.

1726
01:14:27,462 --> 01:14:30,398
You stay just the way you are.

1727
01:14:30,432 --> 01:14:32,333
Camryn gave me this note for you.

1728
01:14:32,367 --> 01:14:34,235
Oh, that's sweet.

1729
01:14:34,269 --> 01:14:35,269
Open it.

1730
01:14:36,271 --> 01:14:38,440
Jackie, I just want to tell you,

1731
01:14:38,473 --> 01:14:41,576
what a unique experience this has been

1732
01:14:41,609 --> 01:14:43,545
spending this week with you.

1733
01:14:43,578 --> 01:14:45,246
I just wanted to say

1734
01:14:46,581 --> 01:14:50,218
break a leg, break them both, tonight.

1735
01:14:50,251 --> 01:14:51,719
You deserve it.

1736
01:14:51,753 --> 01:14:53,455
Thank you very much.

1737
01:14:53,488 --> 01:14:56,591
But you can't kiss me now, my lips are on.

1738
01:14:56,624 --> 01:14:58,259
I wasn't going to kiss you.

1739
01:14:58,293 --> 01:15:00,295
Ah, but you wanted to.

1740
01:15:01,463 --> 01:15:02,463
Jackie...

1741
01:15:04,265 --> 01:15:06,935
Antandra, thank god, I'm starving.

1742
01:15:06,968 --> 01:15:08,203
Mama,

1743
01:15:08,236 --> 01:15:10,338
they wouldn't give me the food.

1744
01:15:10,371 --> 01:15:11,773
What do you mean?

1745
01:15:11,806 --> 01:15:13,875
Did you tell them who the food was for?

1746
01:15:13,908 --> 01:15:18,246
That's when they threw me out.

1747
01:15:18,279 --> 01:15:20,248
Oh, oh, honey.

1748
01:15:20,281 --> 01:15:21,850
Oh, honey, don't cry.

1749
01:15:21,883 --> 01:15:24,419
Edward, Edward, Edward,
Edward, hand me the note.

1750
01:15:24,452 --> 01:15:26,454
Now, baby, it's from Camryn Manheim.

1751
01:15:26,488 --> 01:15:27,965
You know, the one from the lawyer show.

1752
01:15:27,989 --> 01:15:29,724
Read it, it'll cheer you up.

1753
01:15:29,757 --> 01:15:31,392
Camryn, go on baby.

1754
01:15:34,295 --> 01:15:36,631
Oh no, Mama, I'm so sorry.

1755
01:15:37,799 --> 01:15:39,367
Oh, it's all right, Antandra.

1756
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,202
I didn't need to eat anyway, baby.

1757
01:15:41,236 --> 01:15:43,505
I still have to get in that gown.

1758
01:15:43,538 --> 01:15:44,472
No Mama.

1759
01:15:44,506 --> 01:15:46,674
I'm sorry about this note.

1760
01:15:47,642 --> 01:15:48,443
From Camryn?

1761
01:15:48,476 --> 01:15:49,978
What does it say?

1762
01:15:50,011 --> 01:15:53,982
- "Barry's gone..."
- Barry, your manager?

1763
01:15:54,015 --> 01:15:55,350
Gone where?

1764
01:15:55,383 --> 01:15:56,618
No one knows.

1765
01:15:58,286 --> 01:16:01,523
Camryn said he emptied
out all his accounts and left.

1766
01:16:01,556 --> 01:16:02,690
What?

1767
01:16:02,724 --> 01:16:04,192
"Sorry to break

1768
01:16:04,926 --> 01:16:06,895
"this to you on your big night.

1769
01:16:06,928 --> 01:16:08,596
"I hope you didn't have

1770
01:16:08,630 --> 01:16:11,299
"any of your personal funds with him."

1771
01:16:11,332 --> 01:16:12,767
- But...
- Love Camryn.

1772
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:13,835
Let me see this.

1773
01:16:13,868 --> 01:16:15,270
What the...

1774
01:16:15,303 --> 01:16:16,303
My god!

1775
01:16:20,575 --> 01:16:22,377
- I don't...
- Jackie!

1776
01:16:22,410 --> 01:16:24,812
You know I love you, but enough is enough.

1777
01:16:24,846 --> 01:16:27,248
Sequins do not grow on trees, you know.

1778
01:16:27,282 --> 01:16:29,350
I've got to be paid for my gowns.

1779
01:16:29,384 --> 01:16:31,953
Not now, Kim, I've got
bigger problems than that.

1780
01:16:31,986 --> 01:16:34,355
There is nothing bigger than your gowns.

1781
01:16:34,389 --> 01:16:37,425
Besides, you wouldn't be
Jackie Washington without them.

1782
01:16:37,458 --> 01:16:39,694
And you wouldn't have a job without me.

1783
01:16:39,727 --> 01:16:40,995
A job?

1784
01:16:41,029 --> 01:16:42,463
Oh, that's a laugh.

1785
01:16:42,497 --> 01:16:44,632
I thought people got paid for jobs?

1786
01:16:44,666 --> 01:16:45,767
I mean it, Jackie.

1787
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,735
I'll take my gowns and go.

1788
01:16:47,769 --> 01:16:49,270
Where are you going?

1789
01:16:49,304 --> 01:16:51,472
Some place pretty.

1790
01:16:51,506 --> 01:16:52,974
I made it perfectly clear.

1791
01:16:53,007 --> 01:16:55,343
I needed a certified check by showtime,

1792
01:16:55,376 --> 01:16:56,978
otherwise I take my toys and leave.

1793
01:16:57,011 --> 01:16:58,980
Don't you threaten me, Kim.

1794
01:16:59,013 --> 01:17:00,915
I'm about to go off.

1795
01:17:00,949 --> 01:17:02,817
- There's some sort of mix-up.
- Oh,

1796
01:17:02,850 --> 01:17:04,852
there's always some sort of mix-up.

1797
01:17:04,886 --> 01:17:06,754
You're gonna have to do better than that.

1798
01:17:06,788 --> 01:17:09,290
- No, Kim, please!
- Don't touch me.

1799
01:17:09,324 --> 01:17:11,326
You can't repossess this woman's gowns.

1800
01:17:11,359 --> 01:17:12,594
She goes on in half an hour.

1801
01:17:12,627 --> 01:17:14,362
Business is business.

1802
01:17:14,395 --> 01:17:15,897
If I wanted to work for charity,

1803
01:17:15,930 --> 01:17:18,366
I'd go down and dress the
Little Sisters of the Poor.

1804
01:17:18,399 --> 01:17:19,567
Kim, no, baby.

1805
01:17:19,601 --> 01:17:21,603
- Just let me have one gown.
- No!

1806
01:17:21,636 --> 01:17:24,038
You no ticky, no washy.

1807
01:17:24,072 --> 01:17:25,506
Get your hands off of that.

1808
01:17:25,540 --> 01:17:27,542
That belongs to me.

1809
01:17:27,575 --> 01:17:28,676
Pull, Mama!

1810
01:17:28,710 --> 01:17:32,513
Pull Mama!

1811
01:17:32,547 --> 01:17:35,016
Are you crazy?

1812
01:17:35,049 --> 01:17:36,417
Get out!

1813
01:17:36,451 --> 01:17:38,353
Get out! Get out!

1814
01:17:47,829 --> 01:17:48,630
Okay, everybody.

1815
01:17:48,663 --> 01:17:50,331
Let's get back to work.

1816
01:17:50,365 --> 01:17:53,468
Alright, alright, let's get back to work.

1817
01:17:53,501 --> 01:17:54,836
The show's over.

1818
01:17:57,138 --> 01:18:00,475
- Got work to do.
- I don't understand why.

1819
01:18:01,809 --> 01:18:03,111
Don't worry, Mama.

1820
01:18:03,144 --> 01:18:05,013
I'll figure something out.

1821
01:18:05,046 --> 01:18:08,016
Don't I always take care of you?

1822
01:18:08,049 --> 01:18:11,352
Antandra, you should be my manager.

1823
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,088
Really Mama?

1824
01:18:14,122 --> 01:18:16,124
I'm so glad you said that,

1825
01:18:16,157 --> 01:18:17,592
'cause I've been having

1826
01:18:17,625 --> 01:18:20,628
all sorts of ideas about your career.

1827
01:18:21,796 --> 01:18:24,799
I'll only take 10% the first year.

1828
01:18:27,535 --> 01:18:28,803
Seven.

1829
01:18:28,836 --> 01:18:30,405
7 1/2.

1830
01:18:31,472 --> 01:18:32,472
Eight.

1831
01:18:33,141 --> 01:18:36,044
You graduate from college and

1832
01:18:36,077 --> 01:18:38,079
we'll talk about 10 kid.

1833
01:18:38,112 --> 01:18:40,682
And Mama, do I get royalties?

1834
01:18:46,954 --> 01:18:48,532
What the hell is going on around here?

1835
01:18:48,556 --> 01:18:51,459
- What's going on, everybody?
- You, you're out!

1836
01:18:51,492 --> 01:18:53,494
What do you mean I'm out?

1837
01:18:53,528 --> 01:18:56,130
Excuse me, excuse me,
what do you mean I'm out?

1838
01:18:56,164 --> 01:18:59,167
I mean you got five minutes
to get your ass out of here.

1839
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:00,401
Excuse me.

1840
01:19:01,169 --> 01:19:04,138
I don't think you know
who you're speaking to.

1841
01:19:04,172 --> 01:19:05,039
No I don't.

1842
01:19:05,073 --> 01:19:06,574
Who the hell are you?

1843
01:19:06,607 --> 01:19:08,142
She's my new manager.

1844
01:19:08,176 --> 01:19:11,546
I'm sure we can work out
a solution to this problem.

1845
01:19:11,579 --> 01:19:13,147
Why don't we step into your office,

1846
01:19:13,181 --> 01:19:16,584
- while Miss Washington...
- Miss Washington is finished.

1847
01:19:16,617 --> 01:19:20,088
She's a deadbeat has-been
trying to pull a fast one on me.

1848
01:19:20,121 --> 01:19:22,423
Has-been, has-been?

1849
01:19:22,457 --> 01:19:24,058
Let me tell you something, mister.

1850
01:19:24,092 --> 01:19:27,028
My name happens to be
on those posters out there

1851
01:19:27,061 --> 01:19:29,197
in letters bigger than
your mother's mustache,

1852
01:19:29,230 --> 01:19:31,032
you Ruski bastard!

1853
01:19:31,065 --> 01:19:33,034
You have five minutes
to get the hell out,

1854
01:19:33,067 --> 01:19:35,970
or Boris and Igor will help you leave.

1855
01:19:36,003 --> 01:19:39,640
Make it seven, and we have a deal.

1856
01:19:39,674 --> 01:19:40,942
Seven.

1857
01:19:40,975 --> 01:19:44,045
Look, Mama, I can negotiate.

1858
01:19:44,078 --> 01:19:47,115
Wait a minute, baby,
precious, where are you going?

1859
01:19:47,148 --> 01:19:48,616
We've been canceled, Jackie.

1860
01:19:48,649 --> 01:19:50,818
And that theater manager's packing a piece.

1861
01:19:50,852 --> 01:19:51,919
Antandra, Antandra,

1862
01:19:51,953 --> 01:19:53,621
- do something.
- Mama?

1863
01:19:56,691 --> 01:19:57,691
Shaniqua?

1864
01:19:58,960 --> 01:19:59,960
You came.

1865
01:20:01,095 --> 01:20:02,497
Antandra kept calling

1866
01:20:02,530 --> 01:20:05,133
leaving all kinds of urgent messages.

1867
01:20:05,166 --> 01:20:10,037
I thought we should all
be together again tonight.

1868
01:20:10,071 --> 01:20:11,739
I didn't wanna come,

1869
01:20:13,241 --> 01:20:15,109
but Wilson insisted.

1870
01:20:15,143 --> 01:20:17,645
He's never seen you sing before.

1871
01:20:17,678 --> 01:20:20,114
That's right, little man.

1872
01:20:20,148 --> 01:20:23,117
You've never heard me in concert, have you?

1873
01:20:23,151 --> 01:20:25,219
I've listened to your records,

1874
01:20:25,253 --> 01:20:27,488
but I've never seen you live.

1875
01:20:27,522 --> 01:20:30,057
Mama says you're one of the best.

1876
01:20:33,661 --> 01:20:36,030
Your mama said that?

1877
01:20:36,063 --> 01:20:39,534
I never denied that
you weren't a good singer.

1878
01:20:39,567 --> 01:20:42,703
My problems with you were
that you weren't a good mother,

1879
01:20:42,737 --> 01:20:45,173
- that you were never around...
- Shaniqua!

1880
01:20:45,206 --> 01:20:47,141
I did the best I could do, alright?

1881
01:20:47,175 --> 01:20:49,710
Alright, alright, I wasn't
the best mother, okay?

1882
01:20:49,744 --> 01:20:51,221
But you don't show up at the theater,

1883
01:20:51,245 --> 01:20:53,214
and hang dirty laundry out here like that.

1884
01:20:53,247 --> 01:20:54,816
It doesn't make any sense.

1885
01:20:54,849 --> 01:20:57,151
- You can't come in here...
- Look, I made the first move.

1886
01:20:57,185 --> 01:20:59,153
I didn't come here for more of your drama.

1887
01:20:59,187 --> 01:21:00,187
Shaniqua.

1888
01:21:01,556 --> 01:21:03,124
Give it a rest, okay.

1889
01:21:05,026 --> 01:21:08,196
Mama's manager ran off with the money.

1890
01:21:14,168 --> 01:21:15,203
Again?

1891
01:21:17,839 --> 01:21:21,175
Another manager ran off with your money?

1892
01:21:21,209 --> 01:21:22,243
Oh Mama.

1893
01:21:23,911 --> 01:21:27,582
And we're being
thrown out of the theater.

1894
01:21:33,154 --> 01:21:35,056
But they can't throw you out.

1895
01:21:42,129 --> 01:21:43,998
'Cause you Jackie Washington.

1896
01:21:54,342 --> 01:21:55,342
Shaniqua.

1897
01:21:57,311 --> 01:21:58,311
Oh baby.

1898
01:22:01,249 --> 01:22:03,584
No refunds, concert canceled?

1899
01:22:03,618 --> 01:22:06,687
- What?
- Concert canceled, what?

1900
01:22:06,721 --> 01:22:08,689
Man, I've been waiting
in line for five hours.

1901
01:22:08,723 --> 01:22:09,967
You know what, I bet it's drugs.

1902
01:22:09,991 --> 01:22:11,368
I bet she's hopped up on drugs again.

1903
01:22:11,392 --> 01:22:12,293
Or drunk.

1904
01:22:12,326 --> 01:22:14,028
Everyone knows she's a lush.

1905
01:22:14,061 --> 01:22:16,697
And I drove all the way
down here from Compton.

1906
01:22:16,731 --> 01:22:17,932
I say we find the low-life,

1907
01:22:17,965 --> 01:22:19,405
and make her give us some gas money.

1908
01:22:22,169 --> 01:22:23,738
Alright, get the hell out of here.

1909
01:22:23,771 --> 01:22:24,372
Go on.

1910
01:22:24,405 --> 01:22:25,339
Get out, you has-been.

1911
01:22:25,373 --> 01:22:27,141
Your mama, you Ruski bastard.

1912
01:22:27,174 --> 01:22:29,944
Oh my god, I don't believe this.

1913
01:22:29,977 --> 01:22:31,712
Shaniqua, honey, can you run us home?

1914
01:22:31,746 --> 01:22:33,114
Yes Mama.

1915
01:22:33,147 --> 01:22:34,115
- But I wanna hear you sing.
- Not tonight baby.

1916
01:22:34,148 --> 01:22:35,850
Some other time.

1917
01:22:35,883 --> 01:22:38,286
Oh my god, I can't walk more
than a block in these pumps.

1918
01:22:38,319 --> 01:22:39,353
Yep, there she is.

1919
01:22:42,790 --> 01:22:44,191
Oh my god!

1920
01:22:50,131 --> 01:22:51,299
Run Wilson.

1921
01:22:51,332 --> 01:22:54,135
- Run baby, up the steps.
- Get her, grab her!

1922
01:22:54,168 --> 01:22:55,168
My shoe!

1923
01:23:03,711 --> 01:23:07,181
Shame on you Jackie, shame on you!

1924
01:23:09,850 --> 01:23:11,152
No, I won't run.

1925
01:23:12,153 --> 01:23:13,721
Go home!

1926
01:23:13,754 --> 01:23:15,856
We want our money back, Jackie.

1927
01:23:17,825 --> 01:23:19,360
Stop, people, stop!

1928
01:23:22,396 --> 01:23:24,298
I don't have any money.

1929
01:23:28,202 --> 01:23:31,339
My manager ran off with all my money.

1930
01:23:34,709 --> 01:23:37,244
They threw me out of the theater.

1931
01:23:41,248 --> 01:23:42,248
I'm sorry.

1932
01:23:45,386 --> 01:23:48,322
It's been the worst day of my life.

1933
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:57,264
I made a lot of mistakes
along the way, people.

1934
01:24:00,267 --> 01:24:02,436
I've hurt a lot of people.

1935
01:24:16,517 --> 01:24:20,154
I thought I can make it all up tonight.

1936
01:24:20,187 --> 01:24:23,057
I thought I had a second chance.

1937
01:24:24,992 --> 01:24:26,727
But it was not to be.

1938
01:24:30,164 --> 01:24:32,166
God had different plans.

1939
01:24:36,504 --> 01:24:39,140
Maybe this is what I deserve.

1940
01:24:44,512 --> 01:24:45,780
Maybe tonight

1941
01:24:47,181 --> 01:24:49,083
wasn't about me at all.

1942
01:24:52,219 --> 01:24:56,290
Maybe tonight was about
something bigger than me.

1943
01:25:00,194 --> 01:25:01,495
This is my family.

1944
01:25:04,899 --> 01:25:07,101
It's my daughter Antandra,

1945
01:25:10,237 --> 01:25:12,339
and my daughter Shaniqua.

1946
01:25:15,576 --> 01:25:18,512
And this little one is my grandson.

1947
01:25:19,480 --> 01:25:22,450
That's right, I'm a grandma.

1948
01:25:22,483 --> 01:25:25,219
Ma, she called herself grandma.

1949
01:25:33,127 --> 01:25:35,096
So, I'ma try to sing for y'all tonight.

1950
01:25:37,298 --> 01:25:40,901
If you'll let me.

1951
01:25:51,178 --> 01:25:55,182
♪ The road is long before us

1952
01:25:55,216 --> 01:25:58,385
♪ I can't see round the bend

1953
01:25:58,419 --> 01:26:02,990

01:26:03,023 --> 01:26:06,560

♪ And love will light the way

1959
01:26:35,356 --> 01:26:36,891
I can't do it.

1960
01:26:38,626 --> 01:26:39,994
I really can't

1961
01:26:41,362 --> 01:26:43,097
sing tonight.

1962
01:26:43,130 --> 01:26:46,200
Sing Jackie, sing Jackie.

1963
01:26:49,270 --> 01:26:50,304
Mom?

1964
01:26:51,672 --> 01:26:54,875
Mama.

1965
