When you Netflix and chill, what do you like to watch?

- The Crown. Homeland

[Laughs] That’s a funny question. I love things like I love that. And the fact is my husband [James Brolin] and I are kind of binge watchers. I remember when we first got or something, somehow I got a hold of like eight of the shows — my God, we just watched those till the morning. It’s hard to wait for a week. So we love it.

You’ve worked in Hollywood for a long time. Do you think there’s less tolerance for sexual assault in the business

since people are being called out and there have been serious consequenc­es?

Yeah. You can understand. I mean, right before I took your call I’m watching MSNBC and a woman is talking about another assault victim of Roy Moore... Women were frightened. What do you say? What do you say to a man that’s touching you inappropri­ately? Or [the women are] afraid to lose their jobs or whatever. It’s a conundrum, you know. And now they have the support of other women so they’re speaking out.

Compliment­ing you should be allowed. It’s the touching or it’s the constant, probably, assaulting, you know, not giving up on someone... I’m for the truth, put it that way.

You know what worries me about what children are hearing, what our next generation is hearing and seeing, you know, what upsets me these days is, ‘Are they seeing that it’s OK to lie, or to brag about sexual assault?’ Is it right to see the head of the government in the sense never apologisin­g or retaliatin­g? Is it OK to try to silence people in the press when they don’t agree with you?

How are you doing since your dog, who appears in the film, died this year?

She was always with me; the last 14 years she went everywhere I went. She was at every performanc­e. It was like losing a child. It was kind of awful. — AP
