Jeannette's This and That: 2025

"Well, first of all, we were born and raised in the City of Angels. We were both born to legends. We were both born to very public women — in my case, both parents — and all of the drama. Obviously, she had a great tragedy that I did not have, I was raised by my mother. It's just kind of given birth to a new friendship at a time when she is really stepping up and into her great strength as a woman, as a mother, as a sister, as an artist, as a filmmaker, and it's just thrilling. Couldn't be more fun. She’s been carrying her family story for a long time, and it’s time for her to shed it in this gorgeous documentary and now step free as an artist. Now we have a filmmaker.”

“We laugh a lot. The f-word is dropped — a lot, and we both say, ‘Hold, please,’ a lot, like, a lot. I’ve never met somebody else who says, ‘Hold, please,’ as much as I do,” she continued, even acting out an example by mimicking scrolling through a phone and saying, “Hold, please. Hold, please. The two of us are like little parrots. We also share being women in our 60s in show business where we are active bosses, where we are active philanthropic women, where we are advocating. And we do it with a lot of joy and spirit.”
