WINFREY: This is Cindy and Stacy,
who are the founders of the Brushes With Brad Fan Club.
Now it's mostly a joke, but their members are people
who have had even the flimsiest contact with the Hollywood
hunk, you know, Brad Pitt.
So we sent them on an expedition to investigate reports
of Brad sightings in his hometown.
Take a look.
STACY: Springfield is the town where Brad grew up.
We had a simple plan. We just decided to go ask
around town and see if we could find anyone
who knew Brad. We know this is his hometown.
Have you ever had a brush with Brad?
Unidentified Man #4: No.
CINDY: Never seen him?
Unidentified Woman #1: No. No.
CINDY: No.
STACY: We were wondering if you have had a brush with Brad?
STEPHANIE: Have I had a brush with Brad? Yes, I have.
STACY: You have?
CINDY: Oh, you've had...
STACY: Tell us about it. Stephanie introduced us to Todd.
What a jackpot. Todd went to school with Brad and his brother.
TODD: Brad's been a big brother to me for several years now.
Let me get the yearbook for you real quick.
CINDY: OK.
STACY: Oh, nice hair.
CINDY: Nice hair, yeah.
Then Todd offered to show us around Springfield,
some of the Brad spots in town.
TODD: Now right over there, that's Brad's old house.
There's his church, and here's Kickapoo High where Brad went.
STACY: So do you know what shows Brad was in?
TODD: No, not for sure.
CINDY: So then we had a hot tip from the coffee shop.
Unidentified Man #5: I was at another restaurant.
He came in with his--I think it was his family.
CINDY: We went over to check it out.
We're looking for people who've had a brush with Brad.
STACY: With Brad Pitt.
CINDY: Yeah. Have you-all had a brush?
Man #3: I've had a brush with Brad.
CINDY: You have? Can you tell us about it?
Man #3: I grew up right across the hall from him.
CINDY: Right across the hall?
Man #3: Literally.
CINDY: Oh, you're his brother?
Man #3: I'm his brother.
I am, indeed. Hi. That's Caleb.
Unidentified Woman #2: This is his sister's baby.
STACY: Well, not bad for one day's detective work.
CINDY: Just going to his hometown makes us feel a lot closer to him.
CINDY and STACY: Bye, Springfield. Bye!
WINFREY: Springfield. Stacy, I understand you had some
real finds in the high school.
What happened in the high school?
STACY: Well, we saw Brad's locker, and then...
WINFREY: You saw Brad's old locker.
STACY: We did, and the locker next to his locker...
WINFREY: How did you know it was his locker?
STACY: Well, Todd told us.
WINFREY: Todd told you it was Brad's locker.
STACY: Yes. Todd was a big find because he knew all the places
that Brad had been, so Todd took us around town.
It was great.
CINDY: Mm-hmm.
WINFREY: Whoa. When did you become such a Brad fan?
STACY: We went to college with Brad.
WINFREY: You went to college with Brad.
STACY: Yes.
And actually, the way the fan club started,
we knew a lot of people who in--
we--we're from Dallas.
And we knew a lot of people there who'd
gone to school with Brad,
so we would go to see his movies together.
So we figured we should kind of
start a fan club, but it was exclusive--people
who had brushes with Brad.
You could only be a member if you had a brush with Brad.
CINDY: And--and there's a sliding scale...
WINFREY: What is a brush? What is a brush? So now that I've seen you,
who's been to coll...
STACY: You've had a brush.
WINFREY: I've had a brush.
CINDY: Right.
WINFREY: So what has been your favorite Brad movie so far?
STACY: Oh, I'd have to say "Legends of the Fall."
WINFREY: Wasn't that unbelievable?
CINDY: I wa...
STACY: It was great. We're--we're so proud of him, too.
WINFREY: You're proud of him.
STACY: Yeah.
WINFREY: Well, guess who else is here today from Springfield?
It's Brad Pitt's mom, his sister and his sister-in-law.
Won't you stand up? Whoa.
Tell us your name, Miss Pitt.
JANE: Jane.
WINFREY: Jane.
JULIE: Julie.
WINFREY: Julie.
LISA: And I'm Lisa.
WINFREY: And Lisa. So you've had a direct brush with Brad.
JULIE: Yes.
WINFREY: Now when he was coming up,
did any--anybody have any idea it was going to turn into this?
JULIE: No.
JANE: We always thought he would succeed at whatever he did.
WINFREY: You did. Are you a proud mom?
JULIE: We are his biggest fans.
JANE: Of course.
But I've been proud--proud ever since he was little,
and not just because of what he does for a living.
WINFREY: I know.
JANE: ...(Unintelligible).
WINFREY: So when you see him on the cover of
People magazine as the Sexiest Man Alive,
and this is a little--this is a child who ca--this
is a child who came through your womb.
You know him as no one does.
And you see him as the Sexiest Man Alive.
What do you think, Jane?
JANE: No, no way.
WINFREY: No way. No way, my boy.
JANE: That's my baby.
WINFREY: Well, thank you all for being here.
JANE: Thank you.
LISA: Thank you.
JULIE: Thank you. WINFREY: We really appreciate it.
