00:00 I've lived my entire life in a place that creates illusions.
00:06 Lillian, these guys from the EPK, they're here, they just need two minutes.
00:10 Okay, alright.
00:11 49 years, 206 plays, how do you keep it from getting old?
00:16 Well, it's not old for the audience, is it?
00:19 Hi Lillian.
00:21 The show's just starting.
00:22 When you were a kid, your mom was always in the theater.
00:24 How did that work?
00:25 My mother, the theater, they were inseparable.
00:28 There really wasn't room for anything else.
00:31 Fast, fast, let's find our places.
00:33 Formation looks beautiful, nice and tight.

00:54 And she's still not there.
00:56 David tells me you're having some trouble.
00:58 Is that what he told you?
01:00 Without Lillian Hall, we are in trouble.
01:03 What's going to happen to me?
01:05 Sleep disorder?
01:06 Cognitive decline?
01:08 Visual hallucinations?
01:10 That seemed very real.
01:12 Yes.
01:14 Do you think art transcends life?
01:20 She's struggling.
01:23 Hey Lillian.
01:24 What?
01:25 What?
01:26 What?
01:27 We have to talk about the possibility of replacing her.
01:30 She's the first lady of the American theater.
01:32 I need her for this.
01:34 For Christ's sake, this is your life.
01:37 The play is my life.
01:41 And no one is going to take that from me.
01:44 The Lillian Hall I know.
01:52 No play has ever been written that could defeat her.
01:55 I am your daughter.
01:57 Why didn't you tell me?
01:59 All I wanted was to be seen.
02:02 Lillian?
02:03 When I'm gone, will you remind me who I was?
