00:00Did you have conversations with Ruth?
00:02Has she seen the movie?
00:04I have no idea if she's seen the movie.
00:07So you haven't showed it to her?
00:08We had no contact.
00:09The only person that had contact with Ruth was Michelle.
00:13I have heard from Ruth since the publicity
00:16about the film coming out has begun.
00:23I think she's come to understand
00:25that she has unwillingly wound up shackled to this historic fraud
00:31that she will never be able to escape.
00:35It's a part of history.
00:36It's a part of this nation's history,
00:40and she unwillingly is in it.
00:44And so I think this round, I think,
00:49was less stressful for her than, for example, the ABC.
00:55Period that came along.
00:59She, as I think you captured, Michelle captured so beautifully,
01:03she is an astonishingly resilient woman.
01:07I mean, she, the strength to have kept loving Bernie
01:12and getting so little back.
01:14I mean, that was one of the revelations of Michelle's performance.
01:19She was a strong woman, and she is a strong woman to this day.
01:24So I think she has come to terms with it.
01:28I won't say she likes it.
01:31I won't say she wouldn't wish that this movie hadn't been made
01:34and everyone would just forget Bernie Madoff forever.
01:37But I think she understands that that isn't going to happen
01:40and that she just has to live with that now.
