>>> OKAY.
>>> OKAY. WHAT WOULD A SIZZLING SUMMER
MOVIE BE WITHOUT A JUICY LOVE
TRIANGLE?
TRIANGLE? I LOVE A LOVE TRIANGLE, AND AT
THE CENTER OF IT ALL ALYSSA
MILANO.
MILANO. >> SHOW’S STARRING IN THE NEW
LIFETIME MOVIE "TEMPTING FATE"
BASED ON THE BEST SELLING NOVEL
BY JANE GREEN.
SHOW PRAYS GABBY WHOSE PICTURE
PERFECT MARRIAGE GETS UPENDED
WHEN SHE MEETS A YOUNGER MAN
NAMED MATT.
NAMED MATT. HERE’S A SNEAK PEEK.
>> OKAY.
>> OKAY. I MEAN, IT’S ONE THING TO BE A
LITTLE FLIRTY OVER TEXT, BUT TO
BE TOGETHER AND FOR YOU TO BE
FLIRTY WITH SOMEONE THAT YOU
CAN’T HAVE.
CAN’T HAVE. >> YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I’M
FLIRTING WITH SOMEONE I CAN’T
HAVE.
HAVE. >> THIS IS NOT A GAME FOR ME.
THIS IS REAL LIFE, YOU KNOW.
LIKE I -- I HAVE A HUSBAND.
I CAN’T DO THIS.
>> BUT CAN SHE?
>> WE’RE WATCHING THIS ON THE
END OF OUR SEATS.
A LIFETIME MOVIE IN THE SUMMER.
LIKE THERE’S NOTHING BETTER.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. IT’S -- IT’S DEFINITELY
FULFILLING IN THAT RESPECT.
>> AND THE THING THAT I LOVED SO
MUCH ABOUT IT IS WHEN I GOT THE
SCRIPT, OKAY.
SCRIPT, OKAY. HERE’S -- IT’S GOING TO BE
PREDICTABLE.
PREDICTABLE. SCANDALOUS OR WHATEVER.
BUT THE BEAUTY OF IT IS SHE
MAKES ALL OF THESE HORRIBLE
DECISIONS AND YOU WATCH HER LIFE
TOTALLY EXPLODE.
TOTALLY EXPLODE. >> LIKE ACTUALLY SEE REAL
CONSEQUENCES.
CONSEQUENCES. >> YOU SEE REAL CONSEQUENCES.
>> WE DON’T ROOMMATE SIZE THE
IDEA OF INFIDELITY OF AT ALL.
YOU SEE THE CONSEQUENCES AND
THEN YOU SEE LIKE WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN SHE TRIES TO PICK HER LIFE
BACK UP AND HOW HARD THAT IS.
>> SO, YEAH.
I’M REALLY PROUD OF IT.
I THINK THAT’S A GOOD MOVIE.
IT’S GREAT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY
THIS CHARACTER THAT’S SO
INCREDIBLY FLAWED.
INCREDIBLY FLAWED. >> MM-HMM.
>> MM-HMM. >> BUT STILL TRY TO FIND SOME
KIND OF LIKABILITY TO HER.
>> MAYBE LIFETIME WAS AHEAD OF
ITS TIME WITH DOING PROJECTS
THAT WERE FOR WOMEN AND HAD
WOMEN DIRECTORS.
WOMEN DIRECTORS. THIS ONE DOES.
HAS A WOMAN DIRECTOR, RIGHT.
>> JEN GRAVER DIRECTED THIS FROM
"GREY’S ANATOMY."
"GREY’S ANATOMY." HOW AMAZING IS THAT?
>> IT’S SO SPECIAL BECAUSE SHE
KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT IT TAKES TO
GET YOU TO A CERTAIN POINT.
LIKE, THERE’S A LOT OF EMOTIONAL
SCENES IN THIS MOVIE WHICH FOR
ME, SOMEONE THAT’S NEVER HAD AN
ACTING CLASS IN HER LIFE, I SORT
OF HAVE TO GO TO THIS DARK PLACE
TO INVOKE EMOTION AND SHE GOT IT
THE WHICH WAS SO GREAT.
WE WERE DOING THIS CRYING SCENE
AND AT ONE POINT I WAS TOTALLY
TAPPED OUT.
TAPPED OUT. LIKE THE TEARS WERE GONE AND
THEY HAVEN’T EVEN DONE MY
CLOSE-UP YET.
CLOSE-UP YET. >> WELL, WHAT DO YOU DO?
>> SHE CAME OVER ME WITH HER
EARBUDS AND PLAYED LADY GAGA, "A
MILLION REASONS" AND I BURST
INTO TEARS IMMEDIATELY.
THAT’S A TRICK,
>> WOW.
>> WOW. >> AND SHE KNEW THE TRICK AND
GOT ME TO THE PLACE AND I’M
SUPER PROUD OF MY PERFORMANCE
AND I THINK A LOT OF THAT HAD TO
DO WITH HER JUST NURTURING, YOU
KNOW, THAT ACTOR MENTALITY.
>> SHE GETS IT.
>> BECAUSE SHE’S BEEN THERE.
>> YOU PLAY A MOM IN THIS FILM.
YOU HAVE TWO LITTLE KIDS.
>> WHEN YOU’RE PLAYING A MOM AND
TALKING ABOUT THESE IDEAS OF
MOREHEAD AND YOU’RE AWAY FROM
YOUR KIDS.
YOUR KIDS. HOW DO YOU DO IT ALL?
I DON’T EVEN BELIEVE IN BALANCE
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> I DON’T EITHER.
>> I’M ON A ONE-MAN CAMPAIGN TO
END THE WORD BALANCE.
>> I BET YOU GET ASKED THAT
QUESTION ALL THE TIME.
HOW DO YOU BALANCE IT ALL?
>> I DON’T.
>> I DON’T THINK THERE IS
BALANCE.
BALANCE. >> I FELT LIKE I WAS INFERIOR
BECAUSE AM I SUPPOSED TO BE
BALANCING IN?
BALANCING IN? >> IT’S A WORD THAT MAKES US
FEEL GUILTY.
FEEL GUILTY. >> AND I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO DO
THAT.
THAT. >> AND THE THING THAT WORKED FOR
ME BECAUSE I’M CONSTANTLY
JUGGLING A LOT OF THINGS IS JUST
TRYING TO BE PRESENT IN THE
MOMENT AND FOCUSING ON THAT IN
THAT MOMENT.
THAT MOMENT. >> I DO THINK THERE’S AN ELEMENT
OF ONCE YOU HAVE CHILDREN YOU’RE
SORT OF THE ETERNAL MOTHER, YOU
TAKE CARE OF EVERYONE.
I WAS AT AN EVENT OTHER DAY AND
THE WOMAN NEXT TO ME WAS HUNGRY
AND I WAS LIKE, OH, HERE’S A
SNACK, AND SHE’S LIKE YOU’RE
FEEDING ME.
FEEDING ME. THAT’S WHAT I DO.
>> I WAS LITERALLY ASKING, DO
YOU NEED TO USE THE POTTY?
>> I KNOW.
>> AS AN ADULT.
>> YOU’RE A 70-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.
>> AND IT’S THE NURTURING THING.
>> IT DOESN’T GO AWAY.
>> WE NEED YOU TO COME BACK
BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY
PROJECTS, A NEW BOOK OUT IN THE
FALL.
FALL. COME BACK TO US AND TALK TO YOU
ABOUT THAT.
ABOUT THAT. >> THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR
HOSPITALITY.
HOSPITALITY. >> OF COURSE, THANK YOU.
>> ALWAYS FEEL SO AT HOME HERE.
