00:00I was in San Francisco when I was doing Mrs. Doubtfire.
00:03My real father, who had been ill, and I had put him in a nursing home,
00:10he'd had a massive stroke at one point.
00:12And I got a call while I was in the trailer, or whatever you call it,
00:15on the street at the courthouse where the divorce is happening.
00:18This is the scene where we're shooting the divorce.
00:21And I got a call from the doctor that my father had had another massive stroke.
00:25I said, is he, and he said, no, it's a massive, massive stroke again,
00:30and his brain is not really functioning.
00:34We could keep his heart going.
00:36And I said, no, but please lean down and tell him that Sally says goodbye.
00:43And then I went out onto the set, and I'm like, oh, my God, you know,
00:52this was on me and my father, and we hadn't been that close,
00:56but he was still my father, and I was responsible for him.
00:59And I went on the set.
01:00I was doing the scene about the kids being taken away from the father.
01:05It was what happened to my father.
01:08I was the divorced child, and I'm doing the scene, I'm doing the scene.
01:12And Robin, at one point, pulled me over to the side.
01:15He said, Sally, I said, yeah.
01:17He said, are you all right?
01:18I said, yeah, why?
01:19He said, I don't know, I don't know, I just wanted to ask.
01:22And I started to cry.
01:23I said, my father just died, you know, and I was the one to say, you know, go ahead, let
01:31him die.
01:32And I started to cry.
01:33And Robin turned around and said, that's it for the day, guys.
01:36We're just wrapped here.
01:37We're done for the day.
01:38You can get a few shots of the kids and maybe one of the staff are,
01:42but this field's going home.
01:44And he walked me out, and that was Robin.
