♪♪♪ >>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE
2016 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL ACTRESS ROUNDTABLE.
TODAY OUR TOPIC IS WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD AND HOLLYWOOD IN
WOMEN. JOINING ME ARE SOME OF THE
INDUSTRY'S LEADERS. TO MY LEFT, ACADEMY AWARD WINNER
MARION COTILLARD. >> BONJOUR.
THANK YOU, IT'S AN HONOR. >> STAR OF "THE IMITATION GAME,"
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY. >> THANK YOU.
ACTUALLY, IT'S SO GREAT TO BE HERE SUPPORTING WOMEN IN FILM.
>> AND HER FILM "QUEEN OF KATWE" IS IN THEATERS NOW, MISS
LUPITA NYONG'O. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> AND WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE WITH US TODAY A HOLLYWOOD LEGEND
WHOSE CAREER SPANS EIGHT DECADES.
SHE WORKED WITH HUMPHREY BOGART, CECIL B. DeMILLE, AND
ALFRED HITCHCOCK TO NAME A FEW. THE GREAT DEBETTE GOLDRY.
>> IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE ALIVE. >> WELL, LET'S GET STARTED.
NOW, AS WOMEN WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR UNIQUE CHALLENGES THAT YOU
FACED IN YOUR FILM CAREERS? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, THE ROLES
JUST AREN'T THERE. EVERYONE WANTS TO CAST YOU AT
THE GIRLFRIEND, MOTHER, THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND, MOTHER.
>> EXACTLY. EVERYONE'S ASKING WHAT YOU'RE
WEARING. BUT NO ONE'S ASKING WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING? >> EVERYONE GIVES YOU DRUGS TO
WAKE YOU UP, DRUGS TO GO TO SLEEP.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> WHAT?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, BACK AT MGM, THEY'D GIVE ME OPIOID INJECTIONS
BETWEEN MY TOES, TO KEEP ME QUIET IN BETWEEN TAKES.
THEN THEY'D HAVE A LITTLE MAN RUN OVER TO GIVE A SHOT OF
AMPHETAMINES TO SAY MY LINES. STOP HITTING ME WITH THAT
SHOVEL, CLARK CABLE? THEN MORE OPIATES.
YOU GIRLS KNOW HOW IT IS. >> NO WE DON'T.
IS THAT A THING THAT HAPPENS? [ LAUGHTER ]
>> SWEETHEART, WITH OPIUM, YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW, DO YOU?
>> DEBETTE BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT.
HAVE THERE BEEN MOMENTS WHERE YOU FELT YOU WERE TREATED
DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE YOU WERE A WOMAN?
>> OH, OF COURSE. I'VE HAD SO MANY MEETINGS WHERE
THE MEN HIT ON ME, IT'S SO DISGRACEFUL.
>> I GOTTA AGREE WITH LI'L PETER NO-NO OVER HERE.
[ LAUGHTER ] I ONCE HAD AN AUDITION WHERE THE
PRODUCER SAID, "HAVE SEX WITH ME AND YOU'LL GET THE PART."
>> OH MY GOD, WHAT DID YOU DO? >> I HAD SEX WITH HIM AND HE
GAVE ME THE PART. [ LAUGHTER ]
IT WAS A FAIR TRADE. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> OKAY. LET'S PIVOT A LITTLE.
RIGHT? WOMEN IN THE INDUSTRY ARE OFTEN
NOT PAID AS MUCH AS THEIR MALE COSTARS.
SO HOW HAVE YOU MANAGED TO ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELVES
FINANCIALLY? >> I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS UP
BECAUSE, YEAH, I'M ABLE TO GET $5 MILLION NOW.
BUT -- >> $5 MILLION?
WOW. THEY USED TO PAY ME IN BROOCHES.
[ LAUGHTER ] AND THEY HAD IT IN MY CONTRACT
THAT I HAD TO ENTERTAIN OUR TROOPS FOR FREE.
IT WASN'T TILL I GOT OVER THERE I FOUND OUT IT WAS FOR THE OTHER
SIDE. LONG STORY SHORT, I ENDED UP
FLAPPING MY TOOTS FOR A BUNCH OF KRAUTS.
BUT THAT'S HOLLYWOOD, BABY. [ LAUGHTER ]
>> WAIT. YOU STRIPPED FOR NAZIS?
>> I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO TO SUPPORT OUR BOYS.
>> I'M SORRY, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING.
>> THANK GOD. >> EQUAL PAY FOR ACTRESSES IS
PART OF THE SOLUTION, BUT THE MAIN THING WE NEED IS MORE WOMEN
WRITING THE PARTS. >> WOMEN WRITERS?
BUT THEN YOU'D HAVE TO TEACH THEM HOW TO READ.
[ LAUGHTER ] THEY TRIED TO TEACH ME HOW TO
READ ONCE BY PUTTING PEANUT BUTTER IN MY MOUTH, BUT THEN
THEY REMEMBERED THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A HORSE IS
TALKING, SO THEY GAVE THE PART TO A HORSE.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO
BEGIN RESPONDING TO THAT. >> WELL, TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION, LITTLE PETER, I DID WIND UP PREGNANT.
>> OKAY, WELL, SHE DIDN'T ASK THAT, NEITHER DID I.
>> AND TO COVER IT UP THEY FORCED ME TO MARRY A CHIMP.
I SAID TO THEM, I DON'T WANT THAT THING PUMPING AROUND ON TOP
OF ME. TURNS OUT, OKAY, THE CHIMP WAS
HOMOSEXUAL, SO. WE LIVED A VERY PEACEFUL LIFE
TOGETHER, BEST OF FRIENDS. THEN THE LITTLE BABOON RAN OFF
WITH MY BROOCHES! >> OKAY.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE. >> WELL, I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
ALL RIGHT, KRAUTS. GET YOUR KICKS WHILE YOU CAN.
LAUGH [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
[ LAUGHTER ]
