RUSSELL,
RUSSELL, GOLDIE HAWN. >> IT IS A BIG WEEK TO STREAM MOST OF YOU PROBABLY HOME
CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING
DEATHLY COZY ABOUT THE COUCH
AND WATCH SOME GOOD STUFF.
AND WE HAVE ENTERTAINMENT
REPORTER KELLY GLASBY JOINING
TO TALK ABOUT THE ALL STAR
POWER BEHIND YOU.
FEW OF THESE MESSINE MOVIES.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU, KELLY.
GOOD MORNING.
YES, I AM SO EXCITED TO NOT
ONLY CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING BUT
JUST, YOU KNOW, COZY UP AND
WATCH SOME OF THESE NEW FILMS.
AND DOLLY PARTON, SHE NOT ONLY
HAS HER FIRST CHRISTMAS ALBUM
IN 30 YEARS BUT SHE WROTE 14
NEW SONGS OR A NEW FILM TITLED
CHRISTMAS ON THE SQUARE WHICH
IS NOW STREAMING NETFLIX.
AND SO I GOT A CHANCE TO CATCH
UP WITH HER.
PLUS NETTA, I FOUND A NEW
HOLIDAY FAVORITE, THE CHRISTMAS
CHRONICLES TOO.
THIS SEQUEL IS AMAZING BECAUSE
IT TAKES US INTO THE NORTH
POLE.
AND I MEAN GOLDIE HAWN, KURT
RUSSELL AS MR. AND MRS. CLAUS
IT'S JUST SIMPLY MAGICAL.
>> THAT IS THE CHRISTMAS STAR
CREATED BY A FOREST SYNTH INTO
WILL'S 80S.
YOU BOTH EMBODY SUCH IMPORTANT
AND MAGICAL ROLES TO BE MR. AND
MRS. CLAUS AND TOGETHER.
>> WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO GET TO
DO THAT TOGETHER AND THEN TO
GET A B THAT REPRESENTATION FOR
SO MANY FAMILIES LIKE MINE?
>> I THINK THIS WAS AN AMAZING
CHARACTER TO BE ABLE TO PLAY
THIS ICONIC PERSON THAT NOBODY
KNEW MUCH ABOUT.
AND SO THAT WAS A CHALLENGE AND
IT WAS GOOD GORGEOUS EXPERIENCE
FOR ME.
THAT IS TRUE ABOUT THIS IS THAT
IT'S REALLY FUN TO BE ABLE TO
DO SOMETHING THAT'S BASICALLY
FOR YOUR GRANDMA, YOUR
GRANDKIDS AND YOUR CHILDREN.
AND I LOVE THE FACT THAT
BECAUSE OF ALL AND ALL THE
DIFFERENT MEMORIES THAT WE'VE
DONE, LET'S SEE A LOT OF
GOLDIES MOVIES.
BUT AT THIS AGE AND I SEE A LOT
OF STUFF SO IT'S NICE TO BE
ABLE TO DO SOMETHING THAT YOUR
GRANDKIDS ARE GONNA HAVE A
BLAST WITH.
>> I LOVE THE IDEA WITH THIS
FILM ABOUT REVOLVING AROUND
TRUE BELIEVERS AND YOU KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE OTHERS
BELIEVE IN YOU AND WHAT A
DIFFERENCE YOU CAN MAKE WHEN
OTHERS DO.
KURT, MAYBE WHO IS SOMEBODY
THAT HAD CONFIDENCE EARLY ON IN
YOU?
>> WHO SOMEBODY THAT WAS A
BELIEVER THAT GAVE YOU THAT
BOOST IN YOUR CAREER THAT YOU
NEEDED TO GET WHERE YOU'RE AT
TODAY?
>> MY MOTHER AND FATHER AND MY
SISTERS BUT MY MOTHER AND
FATHER WERE ESPECIALLY FOCUSED
ON HELPING ALL OF THEIR
CHILDREN BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES
AND ESPECIALLY IN THE PROCESS
OF EARNING THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE
IN YOURSELF, TO BELIEVE WHAT
YOU'RE DOING, TO BELIEVE IN
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
>> KOHLHAAS YOU DO YOU WANT
FROM ME?
CHANGE HOLLY 14 NEW SONGS IN
YOUR NEW ALBUM A HIGHLIGHT A
CHRISTMAS THE FIRST IN 30
YEARS.
>> WHERE DOES THAT INSPIRATION
COMING FROM?
I REALLY ALWAYS TRY TO HAVE A
GOOD MESSAGE IN ANY SONG THAT I
WRITE.
I'D REALLY DIG DOWN DEEP AND
TRY TO SAY WHAT I THINK MIGHT
BE IMPORTANT TO SOMEONE.
PLUS I ENJOY THE WRITING BUT
THIS JUST TURNED OUT TO BE THE
PERFECT TIME FOR IT BECAUSE
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH
A REALLY HARD TIME THIS PAST
YEAR SUCH A CRAZY YEAR AND SO
IT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT A
BETTER TIME TO HAVE ALL OF THIS
POSITIVE MUSIC, ALL THESE
POSITIVE MESSAGES THAT HAVE TO
DO WITH FAMILY AND COMMUNITY.
I GREW UP IN A SAMPLE TOWN WITH
A BIG FAMILY SO I KNOW WHAT ALL
THAT MEANS.
SO WHEN I WRITE I LINK IT TO
SOMEONE I KNOW SOMEONE I LOVE
AND I TRY TO SPEAK FOR PEOPLE
THAT CAN SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
NOW SONGWRITER YOU TAKE A LOT
OF PRIDE IN BEING ABLE TO DO
THAT.
SO I WAS REALLY PROUD OF THE
WAY THE SONGS TURNED OUT.
AND HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO GET A BLESSING AND HAVE SOME
JOY THAT THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE
HAD THIS YEAR TO SCUTTLE AT.
MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVERYBODY
THIS YEAR THESE SONGS IT WAS A
GREAT JOY FOR ME THAT ALL OF
THIS IS FAMILY FRIENDLY AND I
KNOW IT'S THANKSGIVING WEEK BUT
SO MANY PEOPLE ALREADY
DECORATING GETTING IN THE
CHRISTMAS SPIRIT WE CAN START
EARLY.
RIGHT?
EARLY. RIGHT? I KNOW I HAVE SO MUCH SWEEPING
AND WE'RE NOT SLEEPING.
IT'S GIVING BUT IT'S JUST SO
TEMPTING.
WE PUT ALL THE CHRISTMAS
DECORATIONS UP IN OUR HOUSE
TOO.
WE'LL GET THE TREE NEXT WEEKEND
THOUGH.
WE'LL WAIT FOR THAT.
BUT YOU KNOW WITH THIS ONE THAT
CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES TWO THINGS
I LOVE THE DIRECTOR.
HE KNOWS A THING OR TWO ABOUT
INSTANT CLASSICS.
IT'S CHRIS COLUMBUS AND OF
COURSE HE DIRECTED HOME ALONE
WHICH IS A FAVORITE.
HE WROTE GOONIES.
HE DIRECTED A COUPLE OF THE
HARRY POTTER.
SO JUST KNOW YOU'RE INTRUSTED
HANDS WHEN YOU START STREAMING
