Well who the fuck is it?
I don't know! But it isn't, because this is my Instagram there
and you're not on-- there you are
There I am
Hello love
Stan, you're there! You're still here!
I'm still in bed
You're still in your bed-- no, you have to get out of the bed
you have things to do today, no?
I think I'm sort of depressed
I think I'm going to stay in bed all day
No, no, you can't, you have to get out of the bed, no
Say "yes, dear"
Yes, dear
Thank you very much
And then you have to go to the gym, the gym, the G-Y-M
Do I really have to do that? Are you sure?
Yes! Say "yes dear." You have to do that
Yes, dear
You have to go, so that we'll be able to walk around
otherwise there's no use, you know what I mean?
Okay, dear
Alright, how's the weather?
It's California-- it's 70 degrees out there, it's beautiful
I'm in bed though; I'm staying in bed
Okay, Stan, now please get out of the bed, okay?
Okay, I'll get out of bed
Okay, I'll speak to you later
Bye darling
Okay bye
I don't know
Men! You know what I mean?
It's hopeless
George Brown was having a party
Stanley went there and he met this film director who said--
They started talking and the film director said
"I'm editing a movie, would you like to come and see it?"
and Stanley said, "Of course!"
And I'm looking at the scene
of Dennis Hopper and this gorgeous girl
on a bunk in a train
and they're having this love scene
and it's shot on a wide-angle lens, so their faces are all distorted
and they're slapping each other and licking each other
and I'm thinking, "Oh god! What am I going to say
when the lights go on?"
and the door opened, and this girl walked in
And that was Barbara
He lives in California, I live in New York
We have different lives, we're different people
I can't live in California because I'm a New York girl
because I'm on the subway because I'm walking the streets
and because everybody drives a car
I'd be driving, I'd be looking for the boutiques
I'd be looking for someone who is gorgeous or whatever
and somebody would be dead; it's no use
We talk fifteen or twenty times a day
just casual talking
Was it hot today?
Desperately hot, again
So I'll just stay inside with the air conditioner going
You should see the color of my toes
Are they the same color or a different color?
They're a different color, well, they're purple
with purple sparkle on them they're just extraordinary
Hello, hello, we're in the taxi going down to Orso now
I'll get a call, I'm getting my hair done
"Oh, we just went over a bump. Can you please drive slower driver?"
And you know this is the call
And I'm saying, "Well, I'm going to play golf"
What are you going to do today?
I'm going to play a little golf, a little golf with the boys
Are you going to walk or go in the cart?
I'm going to go in the cart
I think it would be nice to walk a little bit, just a little bit?
No, no, it's too hot, too hot
Like people text, I would call up and say
"I'm going to the hairdresser"
I guess that's just like people text, only I'm doing it on the telephone
Everybody's walking on the street these days like this
Nobody is looking up, even in restaurants
Everybody is like this
In the other world, before this
you had to talk to the person; you had to relate to the human being
I cannot imagine in the sixties or seventies
anybody would have gone on a machine
to look for someone to go out with
You're going out with someone, you've got a list of what they do
who they are, where they came from, what they ate for breakfast
This is my mother as a young lady
Where was she?
In South Africa
She came from Russia
What was her name?
Gerty, Gertrude
- Gerty? - Gerty, yeah
And what was your father's name?
Leslie. Leslie
He was born in South Africa
I got involved with the African Musician's Union
and we put on a show
and there was a young girl called Miriam Makeba
who was eighteen
and this young boy called Hugh Masekela who was twelve
and we played to a mixed audience
There'd never been a mixed audience in the history of South Africa
We had police lining the hall inside
and they couldn't believe what was going on
And a few days after the show, I had a call from the police saying
"Would you please bring your passport
to the police station for perusal?
And I had a very good friend who was a big lawyer
and a friend of Mandela
and he said, "You're leaving tonight"
They can put you in jail for ninety days, without a trial
At the end of ninety days, as you walk out they arrest you again
and put you in-- People are just in there for years
without ever coming to trial
So he said, "You're leaving tonight"
I had to leave my family
which is why I joined television because I had to make money
to get them out
This is for a show I co-created called "Top of the Pops"
There's me and Johnny Pearson the musical director
What about the picture above that?
I don't know, it's Babs without any top on
I don't know when we took it or where
It was pretty nice
In England, television sold records, much more than radio
So if you got on "Top of the Pops," you sold a lot of records
Pretty much every major songwriter in America and in England
did the show
One of the great memories is the first thing that John Lennon did
away from the Beatles
He came and did a single, live
I got a camera on Yoko and she had a sanitary towel wrapped around her eyes
as a blindfold.
And this was for six o'clock, kids, so
we didn't take a close-up of Yoko
But that was a great thing to do-- John singing live
by himself for the first time, which was brilliant
This was the Mannequin Agency
We did a lot of runways; let me see where I am here
Here I am
There's me
I see you
with the funny hairdo
I wish I had some of these clothes today, actually
They're just marvelous
This was sort of when I was just beginning
I was shooting for Capezio in their leotards
This was the long-haired period of my career
Mikimoto, showing off their pearls
- Oh, my god, those lashes! - Yeah, the lashes
My most favorite person was Rudi Gernreich
and I was one of his girls
Rudi Gernreich fashion runway show
The New York Times pictures of one of the Gernreich shows
Me, Ellen Harth, and Peggy Moffitt, with our tops hanging out
It caused quite a sensation when this hit the New York Times
I'm wearing a bathing suit with the top
This is Henry Jaglom and myself during the shooting of his first movie
called "A Safe Place," with Tuesday Weld
Me, Tuesday, Jack Nicholson
This was a film called "Tracks"
with Dennis Hopper and Dean Stockwell and myself
We know that story, I think we've already heard that story
Isn't that how you met Stanley?
It is. I met Stanley through Henry Jaglom
Just went from Henry Jaglom to Stanley Dorfman
It was a great move
Whenever I was modeling and doing shows
the designers would say bring your own accessories
And then, I thought, "I'll find a couple of designers
who do interesting pieces of jewelry
and I'll form a little boutique that travels around
and shows things to people." And then I thought
"I'm going to call this business 'Flood's Closet'"
And that's how the whole thing started
I don't particularly go for name brands
I just go for what I respond to
I can't have anything in my business
that I try to sell
that's not something that I love
It has to be something I love. I might not necessarily wear it
but it has to be something that I smile when I see it
I must tell you that when I first saw this place
the entire house was brown
Wood panels, all dark brown
- Awful. - And he loved it
I said no, we can't have this It has to be white
It took me five years to convince him to paint it white
All the pillows, the rugs, the tables, the lamps
except for Stanley's art
came from the fleamarkets
So this goes right into this, also, now white bedroom
This is the first thing I bought for the entire house
and it just set the tone for this little room
which is very small, very simple
but is so Los Angeles
and there's a little curtain that rolls up and you can see the whole mountains
in the morning and I...
I'm so happy here
In New York I live in a much bigger space
but this space, to me, says Los Angeles
and says Stanley, so I'm really happy here
Was there ever a time in your life when you thought about moving
in the same place?
No
Not at all
Let's talk a little bit about this romance
You and Stanley are dating and it's starting to get serious
and he's in LA and you're in New York
- And we're bi-coastal. - You're bi-coastal
Did you ever have "The Talk?"
Do you know, I've never had a "talk" with anybody I've ever been with
I've never said
"Are we just going to be together or are we going to see other people?
I've never done that in my whole life
One shouldn't have to worry about "is she, is he, what are they doing?"
Jealousy's not part of my DNA
I was never jealous
We've had our own lives, we've had our own beings
but here we are
Barbara and Stanley
What more could a girl want?
She goes to sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning
Now when we're together
she still goes to bed at 3 o'clock
Now I have to go to bed at 3 o'clock as well
She's like the Energizer bunny. I mean, she never stops
She's just on the go all the time
Unbelievable energy
And I don't have any energy
We're going!
So I have to recover
They press-- you don't need to do that
- Why? - Because they do it downstairs
- How do they know we're in here? - It's like Big Daddy
Have they got a camera?
Big Daddy does everything
- I don't understand anything. - You're just a simple boy from LA
I'm a simple boy from the country
Let's go
I love New York, and I love to come to New York, obviously
because of Barbara
but I love to get back to that openness
as opposed to the intensity in New York
- New York is very intense. - It's intense!
It's a go, go, go and he's not a go, go, go
- I'm not. - I'm a go, go
I'm a stay, stay, stay
The challenge is loneliness;
the lonely times I have without her
What do you do?
I sleep and rest
on this couch
Or I go and play golf
This is an old painting from the fifties which was stored in London
Barbara rescued them, brought them here
But this one is in pretty crappy shape
so I'm really going over it and repairing it
Barbara bought me an easel
and for years I hung my Calvin Klein underpants on it
after [I washed the mirror]
And I met a guy called Shane [inaudible]
a very, very good painter
and he came to my house and he said, "Whose paintings are these?"
and I said, "Well they're mine, from way back"
So he said, "Well, you've got to paint!"
One day he started painting
and that started a whole second life for him again
and it was marvelous
We seem to have a connection that goes far beyond a guy and girl
We seem to have a "we" that goes through everything
He understands me completely
and he is very caring and very protective of me
So I feel completely safe with him to do whatever I want
to be whoever I want, to carry on as much as I want
and to have my life
because I know he'll be there, always, surrounding me
This is a great way to be
You're with somebody, you're unconditionally with them
you're happy with them
But at the same time you have your own life
and you can do whatever you want
And you're not responsible to somebody and don't have to report to somebody
You just have to share with somebody
It's been a fascinating adventure
Who knows what's going to happen next week?
We'll see
Got to get an outfit for it
I have to get an outfit for it, it's true
You never know, you never know
He's got 150 following him
are those the people who are following him?
- Yes. - And 165 followers
What's the difference between followers and following?
It's a very good question
And 37 posts means 37 pictures?
I think 37... you've got 37 of these little pictures, yes
And how do I post another picture?
You go-- I learned about this
You go to that
- Do I have this on my Instagram? - No
- Well, let's put that on. - You want this?
- Yes, put it on. - Okay
- Show me. - Then you go
- to next? - I just learned about it
and I'm trying to remember
Go to next
Then you want to write a caption to it
"Stanley with his paintings"
Those aren't paintings, those are people
"With his people and his paintings"
Aren't there paintings behind there?
What about a hashtag?
What is hashtag?
"Stanley"
"Friends"
and there it is
- No, it's on somebody else's Instagram! - This is your Instagram
No, darling, it isn't
Really, no, it isn't!
Well who the fuck is it?
I don't know, but it isn't, because this is my Instagram there
and you're not on-- there you are
There I am
- You put it on, it's great! - I put it on, yes
I put it on twice in fact
How do you eliminate it? It's like who's on first?
I don't know how you eliminate it
- It's hard. - ..teach you how to delete it
- Yes! - You posted it twice?
What if we wanted to know how to do a hashtag, what that means?
I don't even know what it means
