-Welcome back to the show. -Thank you.
-We got to talk about "Frozen 2,"
'cause it's going to be the biggest movie ever,
and I loved it, by the way.
-Oh, it's so good. -The animation alone is crazy.
-It's beautiful.
-What a great job you did working on it,
but we'll talk about that.
But I want to talk about "Westworld."
-Oh.
-Yeah, that's a totally different --
That's the opposite of "Frozen 2."
-Very much so, yes. Yes. -Yeah.
You just finished Season 3, right?
-Season 3, yeah, just -- -You wrapped filming?
Just wrapped it, mm-hmm.
-It gets pretty intense doing those scenes.
How do you -- Do you keep it light or --
-We try to, 'cause it is very intense.
It's a lot to take home with you after work.
-Yeah.
-So James Marsden and I actually have a thing that we do
where, in rehearsal, we read our lines as "Anchorman,"
as Veronica Corningstone and Ron Burgundy,
which works because Teddy is always
kind of just figuring things out, and so he's always like,
"Dolores, that doesn't make any sense.
I've never seen this man before in my life."
It's our dream, actually, to do one take for every scene
as a joke and film it, so that we could actually
edit together an entire season as a comedy.
Like, 'cause we always have these great ideas.
And we never have time to do outtakes, so that's the dream.
-So there's going to be a whole blooper season.
-Exactly. -Yeah.
I like what you do, obviously, on the big screen and HBO,
but also what you do outside of acting.
We talked about it a little bit last time.
-Yeah. -You were --
You actually testified in front of Congress.
-Mm-hmm, yes. I testified in front of Congress
for the Sexual Assault Survivor's Bill of Rights.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Wait, wait, wait. There's more.
Just wait. This is such a great story, and I'm so happy.
-There is more, and that snowballed
and actually taught me that anybody can write their own law.
It's our right to do that.
But if you asked me a year ago, and most people,
how a bill becomes a law, they'll say,
"Well, I know the 'School of Rock' version."
-Oh, yes. Yeah, of course. "School of Rock's" the best.
-So, I am a domestic abuse survivor, and my --
[ Applause ]
I was not able to seek justice
because I fell through the cracks
because of the statute of limitations.
So I created a bill called the Phoenix Act,
which is set to extend the statute of limitations
for domestic violence victims.
And I educated myself on all the laws.
And I assembled a small team,
and we organized, and we campaigned for about a year.
And Senator Susan Rubio brought the bill forward.
We passed through every committee unanimously.
And it became law.
-Oh, my --
You wrote -- [ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah. -I love that you did that!
-Yes, and that is the first time the statute of limitations
has been touched in the state of California.
-Wow. -And we managed
to move the needle.
We extended it. -That is amazing.
-Yeah. -That is so cool to hear.
I was so happy to hear that. -And we're not done.
We want to try to bring it to all 50 states.
So, you know, we're just getting started.
-Yeah, if you want more information how to help,
you go to the Phoenix Act --
-Yes, yeah, or the hashtag #IAmNotOk movement,
I also started.
You can read all the survivor stories there.
You can share your own story if you want.
You know, there's a place you can be heard,
and we're listening, so --
-Why Phoenix? Why the phoenix?
-The phoenix, you know, to represent
the time that survivors may need to heal.
You know, you can rise from the ashes.
You can come back and seek justice, so...
-Yeah. Come back stronger. -Yeah.
Good. That's so great.
[ Applause ]
Now let's talk about "Frozen 2," because I just --
Honestly, my kids loved it.
I have a 6-year-old and a 4 1/2. And they loved everything.
Of course, I was in front of them going,
"Get out of the way. Shh."
Like, I was so into it. I loved everything.
Like, "Oh, my gosh. Wait, what?"
I loved every part of it. Yeah. -"Shh."
You were fantastic. -Thank you.
-And I love that you got to use your beautiful voice, as well,
your singing voice. -Yes, yes, it was my dream,
my dream to do a Disney film.
-Really? -I've been singing
Disney lullabies to my son since he was born.
And then, you know, before I could announce
that I was doing it, and I knew the song,
I sung it to him every night.
And then, when he finally saw the movie,
he just thought that they were animating our bedtime routine.
You know, he's like, "But you do that with me!
Oh, they've animated what we do!"
-Oh, my God. -That's how he made sense of it.
-He's the coolest kid in school.
-No one in school believes
that he's seen "Frozen 2" before anybody else.
They don't believe him.
-He's like, "It's all about me. It's what we do at bedtime."
-Yeah, "It's about my mom."
-Oh, I love it. Oh, that is so cute.
-Yeah, it's cute. -And you --
You have, like, the first big song in the movie.
-My song opens the film.
Again, just -- I'm pinching myself every second.
I don't know how to handle it.
But I do. I get to sing my own Disney lullaby now.
-I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Evan Rachel Wood in "Frozen 2."
Take a look.
-When I was little, my mother would sing a song
about a special river called Ahtohallan,
that was said to hold all the answers about the past,
about what we are a part of. -Wow.
-Will you sing it for us, please?
-Okay. Cuddle close.
Scooch in.
