00:00Eight down, but Chloe, it's gotta be.
00:03That's a really cute clue.
00:05Wow, can I not spell the...
00:08I couldn't spell, I gotta use the eraser, you guys.
00:12I'm attracting murder mysteries?
00:14Yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing, but.
00:22I do crossword puzzles, the small ones,
00:25and I'm pretty good at it,
00:27and I get very frustrated when I do it wrong,
00:30when I can't get something.
00:31It plagues me all day.
00:33Here's the problem, though, that I will tell you,
00:35is that if I'm really good at this crossword puzzle,
00:38then that means that I'm really, really good at myself,
00:42or like narcissism, so I don't know how good I should be.
00:45The first one down,
00:46there is only one guy out there for you,
00:49and he isn't him.
00:51It's gonna be John Tucker.
00:53Oh my God.
00:54Wow, this is very hard to write with.
01:00Okay.
01:01It doesn't look like John Tucker,
01:02but I know it's John Tucker.
01:03People do reference it a lot,
01:04and especially with even The Hunting Wives,
01:06people have said, you know,
01:07you just played another version of Kate
01:10from John Tucker Must Die,
01:11and I didn't even realize that
01:12until someone told me that a couple days ago,
01:15so maybe I'm just repeating myself.
01:17There is a script for a sequel.
01:19I don't know what the status of the movie is.
01:21I think, like Kate, I'm the last person to know.
01:25Okay.
01:26Down to Murder, She Wrote.
01:30This is really long.
01:33It's not Harry's Law, because it's too long.
01:37Hmm.
01:40Murder, She Wrote.
01:41Wow.
01:42That's a really cute clue.
01:43Is it The Murdoch Murders?
01:45Except here's the problem,
01:46and why I didn't think it was The Murdoch Murders,
01:48is that might not be the title, so.
01:50Just wait for this.
01:51This is gonna take a while.
01:52Mur.
01:57Okay.
01:59Nice.
02:00I actually listened to Mandy's Murdoch Murders podcast
02:03before I had even heard about the show,
02:05and so it was very full circle and strange
02:08to get a call that I was going to be perhaps playing her,
02:11because I knew her so well.
02:12I knew the story so well.
02:14I had watched all the documentaries,
02:15and I wanted to learn her voice physically and emotionally,
02:20and her as a writer.
02:21I just really respected how much that she gave of herself
02:25to this story, and really spearheaded the fact
02:27that this got solved because of her,
02:29and so I was very honored that I got to play her.
02:34Three.
02:35Fictional aca couple that should have happened.
02:39But Chloe, it's gotta be.
02:41Is it?
02:47Oh.
02:48Yeah.
02:50Sorry guys, but Chloe.
02:51It was there, and then it wasn't there.
02:55Kendrick and I didn't see that coming whatsoever
02:58when we filmed the first one.
02:59I feel like Chloe just really didn't have any boundaries,
03:01and we just had a really great friendship.
03:04And then the second one and third one,
03:06we kind of, we knew what we were doing a little bit.
03:08Also, you know, we didn't want to like overshadow the whole thing.
03:12Not that we would, but we would not.
03:14I hope that Pitch Perfect Four happens.
03:17We all love each other so much, and I think we would all do it.
03:21We all talk about wanting to do it all the time.
03:23Oh yeah, maybe I should mix it up.
03:25Okay, four.
03:27Armed spouses.
03:29Four.
03:31I have no clue.
03:36And there's an H that's the second.
03:40Is this a show that I was in?
03:42Oh, jeez.
03:43No.
03:44Yes.
03:45Oh, okay.
03:46The hunting wives.
03:47I'm only promoting that right now, and I can't get that together.
03:54I heard something about the fact that Jill might have hit Abby with her car because she's
04:00limping in the trail video.
04:01I kind of liked that because she is sort of limping.
04:05Anything could have happened, to be honest, because Sophie was so blackout drunk.
04:08And also, why was she so blackout drunk?
04:12You know?
04:13Maybe Margot put something in her drink.
04:16I'm not sure.
04:17I don't know.
04:18I'm surmising, and I have absolutely no insider information.
04:20But I like that people think it's very spicy and sexy because we weren't necessarily going
04:25for that.
04:26We were just going for a little bit of like fun.
04:28And I think that Rebecca Cutter wanted these women to behave badly and sort of be unapologetic
04:34in terms of if men can do this on TV shows, why can't women?
04:38So I feel like it's funny that people think it's so shocking.
04:42I tend to want to remind people that did we all forget about Fifty Shades of Grey and Game
04:49of Thrones?
04:50Game of Thrones, when that was happening, my mouth was on the ground, especially the first
04:56couple episodes with the brother and sister.
04:57I mean, and then this is the spiciest show on television?
05:01I don't think so.
05:03Ummmmmmm.
05:04I'll do it across.
05:06A Florida city that got sun and snow.
05:09Is it where I'm from?
05:12Yeah.
05:13Tampa.
05:14Respect.
05:16Okay.
05:17Oh, Tampa.
05:20I love that it just is what it is.
05:22Tampa.
05:23We've got some greats that came from there.
05:25My parents' favorite restaurant is Bonefish Grill, and that is all you need to know about
05:32Tampa.
05:33That's a big night out.
05:34Adam Shankman's Binky.
05:36Oh.
05:37No.
05:38I thought this was Pacifier.
05:40The Pacifier?
05:41The-oh.
05:42I forgot there was the in there.
05:44Wow.
05:45Can I not spell the?
05:46I couldn't spell.
05:47I forgot to use the eraser.
05:48You guys, don't.
05:49Maybe cut this out.
05:50E-R.
05:51There we go.
05:52Wow.
05:53Sorry, guys.
05:54Adam Shankman is the best.
05:55He put me in my first movie, The Pacifier, and then he also put me in Hairspray.
06:01He's somebody that I can't wait to work with again.
06:05Seven.
06:06This Charlie can't have chocolate.
06:09Dog.
06:10She is a dog.
06:11She does this thing called morning cuddles that we call it where she just comes
06:18up and she puts her head right under my chin and then she just stays there and then like
06:22falls back asleep.
06:24And really that's all you could ever want in a dog is just a cuddle bug.
06:29Eleven.
06:29It locks in locks.
06:34It locks in locks.
06:41It's a movie that I'm in.
06:46It locks in locks, like a key.
06:49All I can see is like it like locks, like pop and lock, but it's not, but it's not bad.
06:54Oh, locks, like hair locks.
07:00Hairspray?
07:01Yeah.
07:02Okay.
07:03Wow.
07:05I did not get, I was thinking like lock of a key and a door.
07:09Hairspray.
07:10Got it.
07:11It locks in locks.
07:12Adorable.
07:13That audition.
07:14I did terribly.
07:15Adam Shankman, the director of Hairspray, he, he called me and he was like, well, that wasn't
07:20great.
07:21I got really in my head.
07:22I got really nervous and I, my voice cracked.
07:25I did pretty well at the dancing, but the singing part was, was really awful for me.
07:29And so he said to me, you know, it's really funny.
07:33We just got Michelle Pfeiffer on to connected to play Velma von Tessel.
07:38And so it would have been really iconic if you guys were both in it.
07:41And I remembered that a psychic had told me two years before that I was going to be in
07:46a huge movie with a iconic, beautiful blonde woman playing my mother.
07:51And so I called him back and I said, and he will attest to this because it's such a crazy
07:56story.
07:57I said, I went to the psychic and I know this sounds insane, but the psychic told me that
08:01I'm going to play Michelle Pfeiffer's daughter, basically.
08:05And he said, that is the craziest story.
08:08You're so insane that I'm going to let you audition again.
08:10I think he maybe just felt bad for me or thought I was losing my mind.
08:13And so I auditioned again and nailed it.
08:16And that's how I got the role.
08:18So when in doubt, go to a psychic.
08:2112, 2022's X cuts deep in this genre.
08:26So it's probably horror.
08:29No, just kidding.
08:32Cuts deep.
08:34X cuts deep.
08:35Slasher?
08:36I said that the most proper way of saying slasher ever.
08:40Slasher?
08:41I never thought that I would be in a slasher movie like that, and I loved every minute
08:46of that.
08:47That was such a great time.
08:48Eight down, big night to die for.
08:52Oh, prom night.
08:53There we go.
08:54I got that one.
08:56Right.
08:57Wow.
08:58Look at me.
09:00I did not get to go to my own prom, actually.
09:02Prom night was my prom.
09:03That was my big night, was getting dressed up to go to work every day in a prom dress for
09:08two months.
09:09So I felt like I really did it then.
09:12So nine is down directorial feature debut.
09:19That is parachute.
09:20Parachute.
09:21I know how to spell that because I spelled it a billion times.
09:27I think the word to best describe me as a director would be a collaborator or a chameleon.
09:38Starfish.
09:39So it's a- it's Pisces?
09:41Yeah.
09:42Okay.
09:43I am a Pisces.
09:45True blue.
09:46I'm very sensitive.
09:47Way too sensitive for my own good.
09:49Definitely an empath.
09:50Really bad with money.
09:51Not because I spend it too much.
09:52It's because I, I, I keep it.
09:53Like, I'm really, like, cheap.
09:54empath really bad with money not because I spend it too much it's because I keep
09:59it like I'm really like cheap I'm frugal very frugal and I don't know if that's
10:04the Pisces thing or if that's just a childhood thing my girl Drew Barrymore
10:07she's a Pisces I feel like that's our queen okay 10 down the light guides this
10:13flower the light guides this flower maybe I'm just not familiar with my work
10:27it's gonna have something to do with the flower isn't it Daisy wow that is a deep
10:34cut Daisy LeMay was my character that I played on on guiding light sometimes I
10:40think to myself my my best acting was when I was a kid because I wasn't really
10:46aware of what I was doing I was just all working on instinct a lot oh and I could
10:50memorize anything it was you know monologues long especially when you're on
10:54a soap opera they they give you 50 pages of dialogue that you have to know that
10:59day and so I could memorize really well and so I still think about that time
11:03being being really helpful and also instrumental and knowing what kind of
11:08actor I wanted to be 14 number of seasons you lived the dream Oh of
11:14American dreams three three seasons I didn't realize how good we we had it
11:21when we were filming that show how special that show was I was going to work
11:24every day at 16 years old and also doing math problems on the side I didn't
11:29realize that we were making a show that was going to be so magical to so many
11:33people and so yeah I miss it a lot this was a nice little rundown memory lane I
11:38feel sorry for the things I didn't remember but proud of the things that I
11:43did
