>> YES.

RACHEL IN THE 2008 MOVIE "THE

>> WHEN PEOPLE ASK YOU WHAT'S
THE SHOW IS ABOUT, WHAT DO YOU
TELL THEM?
>> YEAH, I TELL THEM ABOUT THE
BIRTH OF PORN IN NEW YORK.
NO, I THINK IT IS ABOUT WHAT IS
THE COST OF KIND OF UNCHECKED
WILD WEST, CAPITALISM IN GENERAL
WHICH IS WHAT THE PORN INDUSTRY
IS.
WHO GETS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
AT ONE POINT CANDY SAYS WHAT MEN
PAY FOR THAT BECOMES THE WORLD?
GYLLENHAAL STARS IN AND PRODUCES
"THE DEUCE" IN A TIME SQUS SQUA
AND DANGER AREA OF NEW YORK
CITY.
>> WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BEING
ON THE PROJECT AND BEING A
PRODUCER TO HELP STEER THE
STORY.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOU?
>> JUST SORT OF GUARANTEEING A
PLACE AT THE TABLE.
I AM GOING TO BE NAKED
PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, I
WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE ARE
ULTIMATELY SAYING SOMETHING THAT
I CAN GET BEHIND.
AS IT WENT ON, I REALIZED THAT
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A
COLLABORATION THAT THE CREDIT OF
BEING A PRODUCER AND SOME WAYS
DID NOT MATTER ALTHOUGH, YOU
KNOW IT DID MATTER FOR ME TO BE
HONEST.
>> DID IT TAKE YOU A WHILE TO
GET TO YOUR POINT OF YEAR, WAIT
A MINUTE, NOT ONLY SHOULD I BE
DOING THIS, PUTTING MY NAME ON
THE DOOR BUT I DESERVE IT.
>> LATELY I FELT LIKE WHY DO I
NOT NEED THE CREDIT OR DO IT FOR
FREE.
IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FEEL
ENTITLED TO ASK TO THOSE THINGS.
>> ALL THE GREAT THINGS COMING
DOWN THE PIPES.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING NOW AS
YOU INTRODUCE THIS LAST SEASON
TO THE WORLD?
>> I FEEL REALLY PROUD THIS
SEASON.
THIS IS THE WORK I AM MOST PROUD
OF SO FAR IN MY LIFE.
IT IS A REALLY NICE FEELING TO
FEEL THE LAST THING YOU DID IS
THE THING YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF.
>> YOU'RE WORKING.
>> YEAH.
AND GETTING BETTER.
>> FOR GYLLENHAAL, THAT WORK
RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
SHE WAS RAISED IN LOS ANGELES
WITH HER BROTHER, JAKE
GYLLENHAAL BY PARENTS WHO BOTH
ARE FILM MAKERS.
>> DID YOU FEEL YOU ARE SORT OF
DAVI
DESTINED TO BE IN THIS BUSINESS?
>> NO, I DON'T.
YES, OF COURSE THEY WERE IN THE
BUSINESS AND DOING INTERESTING
WORK BUT I REALLY FEEL LIKE IT
CAME FROM ME.
I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD HAVE
STOPPED BY NOW.
GIVE MY PARENTS LIKE FARMERS OR
OHIO.
I FEEL I WOULD FIND MY WAY INTO
STORY TELLING.
>> I REMEMBER BEING IN FIDDLER
ON THE ROOF WHEN I WAS IN THIRD
GRADE.
REAL KID VERSION.
>> SURE.

AND I TOOK IT SUPER SERIOUSLY

THE ENTIRE PLAY AND ALL THE
WORDS AND SONGS FOR YOU.

HEARTS."
>> OVER THE LAST YEAR, SHE

MOVEMENT.
>> DO YOU FEEL IT IS DIFFERENT
NOW WHEN YOU GO INTO A ROOM OR
ON THE SET WHERE EVER YOU ARE?
>> IN SOME WAYS.
YES, DEEPLY DIFFERENT, VERY
DIFFERENT.
I DEFINITELY FEEL IT.
IT IS KIND OF AMAZING.
ON ANOTHER LEVEL, THE PROBLEMS
THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARE
SYSTEMATIC, RIGHT?
THEY'RE REALLY DEEPLY IN GRAINED
IN OUR CULTURE.
GYLLENHAAL AND HER FRIENDS ARE
WORKING TO CHANGE THAT CULTURE.
THEY'RE GROUP OF ACTRESSES WHO
STARTED TO MEET AT DIFFERENT
PEOPLE'S HOUSES AND SOMEBODY
SAYS ANY TIME THERE IS A FIGHT
SCENE IN THE MOVIE OR ANYONE
THAT GRABS YOUR ARMS, THERE IS A
STUNT COORDINATOR THERE.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE IT FOR SEX
SCENES.
WE HAVE ALL THESE EXAMPLES
COMING OUT FOR PEOPLE FEELING
THEY'RE NOT TAKEN CARE OF OR
PROTECTED.
>> HBO HIRED AN INTIMACY
COORDINATOR ON "THE DEUCE."
>> EVERYBODY IS NAKED ALL THE
TIME.
>> GYLLENHAAL HAS TWO DAUGHTERS
WITH HER HUSBAND.
SHE'S WORKING TO MAKE A BETTER
MOVIE BUSINESS FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION OF ACTORS.
>> IF THEY COME TO YOU AND SAID
MOM, GOT TO DO SOME AUDITIONS, I
AM JOINING THE FAMILY'S
BUSINESS, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?
>> I THINK THEY CAN DO WHATEVER
THEY WANT.
T
IT IS A TOUGH BUSINESS FOR
WOMEN, IT SEXUALIZES YOU AND
TURNS YOU AS AN ENTITY INTO A
COMMODITY, I WOULD NOT WISH THAT
ON MY DAUGHTERS BUT I AM ALSO
DEEPLY FED BY WHAT I DO.
I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING
ELSE AND SO I WOULD NOT KEEP
THAT FROM MY KIDS.
THE FINAL SEASON OF "THE DEUCE"
AIRS MONDAY NIGHT AT 9:00 ON
HBO.
