town [Music] we are back it's going to be a goodie tonight good job thank us all righty anything particularly report no no just i'm working out here doing lots of things i saw you today you were down the hall doing some lead-ins to a show yes on the film show and you were doing this an anthology film show beyond this summer replacing flip wilson's show and i came down to watch you and i was doing i did 11 shows today and you were down doing i can't explain to the audience exactly what you were doing but i heard you were done certainly i must say yes certainly things you would not have done if you had been in her sunday school class or maybe you would i don't know but you but you were trying to distract me and you were managing to do that yes but you go easy of course i go easy when you're right by the camera you were doing fine you'd say tonight we have a taught drama where motions will run run deep and you'll see this young child stricken with near-fatal diseases and it's all over and all of a sudden it's barracks time with you you're hearing barracks humor and killing me my first guest this evening is a young lady who was probably enjoying the most successful year in her life in the past two weeks she's been named star of the year by the theater owners she's been picked as one of the most 10 exciting women in america by harper's bazaar she won the golden globe award given by the foreign press she received an academy award nomination as the best supporting actress for performance and carnal knowledge that's quite a record sure and uh tonight could be the highlight of her week if she only listens to reason would you welcome and margaret [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i didn't see you before the show they told me you look gorgeous and they're right oh thank you you've got a lot of help george master's didn't it really you don't really normally need much uh makeup and stuff do you oh you should see me in the morning okay i'm so easy anything you say certainly i'll be there about seven you know make up one you have had quite a year haven't you it really isn't remarkable um do you ever think all this would happen to you oh no not in a million years i just think it's so incredible that um that i can actually have a chance at an oscar yeah just to be nominated alone for an academy award is uh about as many people never get that in their lives even nominated and just like that but you finally got a real good picture because i think you've talked about the history of your career you've done a lot of different nutty things uh at different times and they started putting you in kind of a a bag and calling you the sex kitten didn't you do a thing called kitten with a whip something like that um i've done 22 films and not all of them you know can be fantastically fine pictures but like three years ago no one would even consider me for a serious acting job but you couldn't get a job as a serious activist no not at all all they offered me would be movies yeah and so did you do some of those b movies well uh before that um well i refused to do them like three years ago before that i didn't know anything about choosing scripts because i'm not a writer and i did make several mistakes and i did a string of bad movies and then finally they just considered me a joke and i went to um i finally went to italy to do two or three films because they considered me an actress but it's so much more fun i i love you know doing films over there but it's so much more fun to to be home be accepted here for something you do it was a great picture and you were remarkable and you were just excellent in it um how did you get that part now since you have done as you say some of the shows movies that hadn't been that successful how did somebody say hey let's get ann market for the park well mike nichols um met me and when i heard that he wanted to see me i was just flabbergasted i had no idea that he would ever you know want to put me in a movie but he uh sat and talked with me for a couple of hours and then the next week he asked me to come back and i did a test for him [Music] he was right are you always this quiet yes you do have a you have a quiet what what is it friend the ball stores are coming in who's winning no no freddie says i have to argue your husband low key boys because you shot in that movie pretty good yes huh you do a lot of screaming and yelling yes and so forth but that's not when i'm uh being interviewed really you did this thing last night on the air uh it was on i guess last night that roanoke bear trap did i call her rona bear trap affectionately right she's very very nice to me i know i tease her all the time but you did she did a show on on sex symbols and i think she asked you then if you looked at yourself or if you like that type when somebody says sex symbol and you said something about when you get up in the morning you didn't like to look at yourself in a mirror now am i quoting that about right well i when somebody says that i'm sexy i am very very flattered i think any woman would be if she's honest with yourself just don't you enjoy being called sexy you think i'm sexy yes i do really you have a very boyish sexiness have a boy a boy [Applause] that was on me [Applause] that was that was putting me down uh i'm just you had to gain weight for that picture didn't you they want they wanted you a little uh well what's something yes i gained 15 pounds in 15 000 it was a lot of fun gaining it but i still haven't lost at all no i don't know really what did you eat to gain it what do you like everything pizza malted milk all sorts of ice cream and cake you have to give all that up for a while or try to yes you're delightful really remember when we worked together once first time we met sure we did the uh inaugural gala uh for lyndon johnson in washington that time the first time i ever met you it seems like quite a while ago didn't it yes when was it but see how quickly you forget what linden is saying now huh they forgot first inauguration was in 19 first time he was now great president was 1963 was enough 54 64. i'm sorry 64. that was a long time ago i do this first then we'll come back you can stay a while can't you i think so do not stay all night i mean just a little while we'll explain what you mean by all night till the end of the show well of course i meant that she doesn't have to until the end of the show i didn't mean all night here physically in the building but you can if you want to i mean it's nice here we got nice carpets on the floor and uh refrigerators what all of those things my boys were asking me last night we were talking about the movies and somebody brought up about the casting couch because i think rona brought that up on the show was that a myth uh in fact you know you're about well to get a partner picture you have to lay there yeah if i didn't mean you personally the boys were asking me if that did exist and i said i really didn't know i think several uh women say that um they had to do it when they really didn't have to in other words make it sound like this in any uh career it doesn't only happen whether they were a plumber's apprentice or in motion pictures want to thread the pipe harriet sounds silly tonight we'll return in a moment right after this from vixx [Music] foreign [Music] we are back you just join us we're talking with ann margaret and flip wilson is with us tonight and george carlin and susan st james you mentioned something else on that show the other night uh i think they were talking about a lot of the gals and movies who've been sex symbols like monroe and i guess they went back as far as harlow even though i guess beta bearer originally and you said something was kind of interesting you said you thought what you had that maybe they didn't have was it was a strong man that's right that's interesting you know what well you mentioned a little bit otherwise if you didn't if you were say by yourself and if you were single that maybe uh the success and all the all of the press that you could kind of get you know mixed up and go off a little bit on the deep end that you need somebody to give you that support right well what had happened to me um a few years ago was that i had received a lot of publicity and uh people were very nice to me i got very good roles and all that and a lot of awards in fact for the play award right on youtube on the show we did the photography then i was so frightened to talk to the press that they took it the wrong way and they started saying the bad things about me and the more bad things that they would say the more of a recluse i would become and that was before uh i met roger and he has brought me out of my shell a lot you find that the press uh sometimes when you uh your starting wants to help you and then sometimes if you get a little bit reluctant to talk they go the other way and they start giving it to you and all of a sudden if you get on top everything seems to be fine again i know it's very strange everyone loves a newcomer right but then it's rooting for the underdog and then as soon as the underdog makes it sometimes it's on top it seems that they can't wait to kind of chip away and show that you have you know you're like anybody else they've been terrific this last couple of years have you thought about going to the oscar i've asked people this before when they've been nominated about the you're going i assume the oscars oh yes some actors say they don't like to go yes i'm good you're going do you have um an acceptance speech in your mind if you if you get i don't want to psych you out like this is that bad luck to talk about goodness no i'm uh i'm first of all very superstitious like for the golden globe awards uh i had nothing planned and when i was going up the steps i was wishing that i would have planned something but i really do think it's bad luck whatever comes out i like at the golden globe awards i said that uh 11 years ago they had given me my very first award and now they were giving my very first uh acting award and that's what i felt and that's i think the only thing that came out if you wanted why don't you just get up and say i deserve this and uh there are no little people behind the scenes that have helped me i did this and i i certainly deserve this good night you'd be a smash it'd be an absolute smash they would hang you but you'd be a smash you could say that very well haven't you wish that somebody would do that just once i wish i had nerve like that are you still riding motorcycles oh yes i now have a harley davidson 1000 cc 1000 cc that's a big motorcycle that's a figure it's not great isn't that dangerous yes you can't treat it like a toy yeah have you ever taken a spot i respect the machine you ever taken a spill yes not on that one on my triumph 500 a couple of years ago i ended up in the hospital yeah you're still doing your act around which gives great reviews too that's my first thought you're doing like nightclub do you like singing dancing because you have the direct rapport with the audience yeah well i'm so glad you came to be with us tonight this isn't painful for you is it i mean this is easy it's fun with you so you're just like any ordinary guy no really i wish you real good luck you know you've had a smashing success the last couple years and you've worked for it too so thanks for being with us we'll see you soon thank you bye-bye you know she's wearing flavored lipstick you know they make lipstick now in colors strawberry i wish i could find out the flavor but if you kiss me here in front of everybody what what flavor is it strawberry i think one of my favorites yeah even in jess

right well you're going to be my new neighbor starting uh may 1st yeah we're going to bring the show up and we're going to go back to uh to new york periodically like we do out here we just thought we tried out here for a while just to give the show a little bit don't give me a chance to uh get with you doc and the guys because i love this show the show is i think this show contributed so much to the success of my show because it allowed me to uh the opportunity to establish my rapport with the audience and uh this show is my second home my love well you started on the show and the funny thing was you were bumped i think two or three times five times he was booked on the show i don't know what you mean when i say bump we something happened during the show the show got along and i said gee i'm sorry there's a young man that was supposed to be with us tonight by the name of flip wilson and he didn't get on five times and it went on like five times yes but uh also in addition to that now someone might generally say well wow they would have assumed that i was being neglected but i was also mentioned that uh in so many instances uh when i first started making television appearances which were first on the show uh there was a transition that had to play take place from my ultra hip type of comedy prior and uh the writers and the guys the talent consultants that i work with on the show work with me a lot and they've devoted a lot of personalities develop the finesse to convey uh my ideas you had some weird little things that would go out yeah when you connect everything what's this i hear about you being sued is this yeah i is the uh the uh plaintiff you're the no no the defendant yeah you're the suh [Music] you know because the thing is in litigation but i'm being sued by uh mr and mrs that old black magic kept me in this film yeah they whipping the black magic on me what's the case without going into details the lessee oh the house for you i had a nice little house you know but the house was too big for me the only one was there with me and my bulldog yeah you know and the uh the uh plaintiff alleges that the defendant yeah you got to be very quiet unto his personal use six caviar plates you know i don't know what a caviar plate looks like you know i thought you ate caviar out of the can you didn't know you know so uh um it's just ridiculous that is fun so the you ripped off or they say you're ripped off and they still haven't sent me back my dog house of course court actions are interesting it is fun yeah i'm is we can't take science i don't know what the caviar plate looks like well what would have you been doing everybody in my house to eat caviar eats it out of the jungle so you move out of the house and you run another yes yeah i'm getting ready to move though again no carry off later no okay [Applause] you want six let me do this and then we'll come back uh crazy george is with us tonight what are your favorite guests one of our favorite guests who is george carlin who is uh cooking real good comedy wise nowadays and uh you too you guys are gonna do a little thing that you've done on your show but we will do a word from a lady who cleans up after the best cooks in the world hey [Music] huh [Music] what was the big article i had a very good article on you was that the time time magazine yeah that's kind of the culmination of a nice thing to have to cover on time isn't it it certainly was you try to be real cool i know when they profiled me a few years ago in time and you try to be like well it's a cover but secretly inside uh well hey that's not bad i wasn't uptight uh because uh i don't have anything i want to hide i think that uh the story of how my success has come about has been a beautiful story and i think it's a an american story and i want people to know so uh i've told my story and i'm very pleased and the american public has been fantastic to me [Applause] oh really now we were talking about crazy george um and you two guys are going to work together we can't do it in this half hour because it takes about eight nine yes we want to give you time to right do your thing stretch out and wait for the big laps yeah that's the reason we didn't have the time here we we left time for the last in the sketch uh normally it would have been at 12 30 by now but a lot more time than we thought we've got an album i guess we're going to talk about this yes new album uh fm and am yeah this is not the first thing he's recorded on because he came out with it now no this is the second album that he's had this is four years later yeah uh and uh it's on little david records which is uh that sounds familiar that's right that's my label and it's a gas and i think it's uh great because there's such a difficulty with comics in uh explaining the difference in your views to someone who can't really understand who might be the executive of a record company with george and i there's uh george is different he's he writes his own material and i can understand his creativeness and my manager monty k and and uh this was an opportunity for george to feel freer as an artist and for me to be a part of uh maybe in some way helping a guy that i admire crazy let's get him out here george carlin how you doing tonight what do you say okay feeling all right yeah we're gonna have to do the other piece with you and flip uh around the corner as they say because we didn't have enough time here i was listening to this the other day crazy you did this answer this one you did down and then washington yeah right got some crazy things in here it's uh the nice thing is that um and the thing we were talking about about having a little freedom to do what you want on it four years ago i did the only other album i did and uh it was on rca and they're a lot more conservative first of all but also it was four years ago and my birth control routine they wouldn't allow it on an album and on this album george has the baby we're progressing we're progressing it's come so far that i was able to do the birth control thing on your television show last month but not on an album four years ago that's incredible i don't realize how fast that's what makes me happy about the album is that it really isn't honest you know it's everything i have to tell right now or about six months ago one piece you have here that kills me and i guess there are lots of sullivan stories everybody all comedians like sullivan because first of all he's a good audience and everybody doesn't but you do a bit in here uh i'm going to ask you to do a little bit of it here because as you say it's not it's not how well you do sullivan every guy at a party does sullivan right right it's uh it's just a big shoe and everybody says that's wonderful but taking the place of the lampshade parties for men yeah it's solid impression the idea being that everyone can do it sullivan even agents and managers can do them now and i'm sure that somewhere in the world there's a bear that can do and a good one yeah just from being on the show and watching the link my idea is that it's easy to do a good ed sullivan by not worrying so much about the voice or the mannerisms a lot of people waste time on well i get this and they have to do all that that means nothing that's the easiest part of it the the really hard part

of television's most popular young actresses for several seasons she was uh peggy maxwell on the name of the game and currently she is starring as rock hudson's wife on mcmillan and white this is her first time on the tonight show for some reason would you welcome susan st james welcome thank you for coming i've been back there figuring out how to sit because it's really the wrong way to sit any way that you can sit on television you know is that a problem well i'm having natural childhood so you're you're preparing your body every day you know for the big event and so you're supposed to do special things and this is completely wrong but you're not supposed to work anyway you're supposed to be home you know yeah i never wanted to say anything when you know you see somebody that's just a little showing a little bit because maybe they're not pregnant and then you would feel like a dummy i'm saying well what does the child do and you say yes well you know when i started uh doing the show they had no intention with rock of having any kids he was in shock that he was going to be married you know on the series because he doesn't play married men too much and so then well he's always the bachelor you know now we got him we got him married and so everything was going on fine they said well we'll be finished in december and that'll be the end of the show goodbye and you know see you next year maybe so my husband and i worked it all out and said december okay well we can work this out and have the baby in may and then we'll start back in june and it'll be born right in a hiatus you know that's really programming it is very difficult you know it's the closest you can get to a schedule you know is that so we went to december and they said great goodbye and we all said goodbye and had a big party and everything and then they called me january and he said ratings have been so great we're going to do another show february or march we don't know which and i said oh i wonder who's going to play the wife you know because i thought he was out of the job you know so i called him up and they said that's right and i got the script and i had fell down the stairs in the beginning and i was in bed through the whole show you know just lying there saying i wish i could be out of bed helping you with the plot yeah so finally they decided to write it in so in this last show which is on wednesday night uh i walk around pregnant but they never say anything about it you know they just maybe next year i'll have a baby maybe i won't you know nobody could decide one aren't the viewers gonna wonder what i know those are little oversights but aren't the viewers gonna wonder when you're pregnant sure they said she looks pregnant i'm sitting like this and rock is looking a lot of my stomach and we're acting like i'm pregnant but they don't really talk about it the opening show next season you can say did you get over that touch of gas you had that uh nobody'll be the wiser why'd they only do one more because um the way our show's set up they have three of um mcleod and three of colombo and then you know so then they only they decided not to put a special under something and do one more of us you know so it was a kind of got in the way there you know i mentioned you've never had been on the show before which seemed rather remarkable because we've been doing this for a while and uh well why did we never my father used to sponsor your show your father was one of the sponsors just a corporation and uh then i came out here and started working and i just couldn't get on the show so he doesn't sponsor the show anymore well we've probably sold everything out for him and he's building more things i know that was a long time ago i didn't know that really yeah did you want to be on the show it was funny because actually i wasn't working as an accident i was living in new york and he used to always come and see all the shows where he had an add-on you know and he'd say well i hope this guest will talk a long time about the product you know and then say we got six minutes out of that you know so i saw it from a different point of view then you know well i'm glad you're finally here anyway thank you you know somebody told me that you and you don't wear much makeup do you have an aversion to it is it are you what is what they call it hypoallergenic it's not that is it no no i just think that uh people have to start getting used to looking at each other like you really look you know especially women's makeup is just hideous you know it's just it alters everything men you know that working shows need makeup for lights because it balances your skin and everything but they don't do uh the things that women do to make them just look ridiculous so i wear just as as little as it will take to make me look like i look plus i married my makeup man and he uh he gets off working that way we have this philosophy yeah but doesn't that kind of isn't that the wrong way to say it if he's a makeup man and you're going around against makeup does that make him particularly happy well actually it uh it takes a lot more skill to be a makeup man and make somebody look and so they're just looking natural it's easy to just do a lot of makeup and make it look like a painting you know so he doesn't he really does a good job he has to work pretty hard but it's easy for you to say you don't need makeup because you're obviously naturally pretty to begin with but what about the lady who's not as fortunate well you'd be surprised when i first started working because i was infatuated and wore a lot of makeup you know and people still say to me gee you know you look you look more like a movie star before you know you look you know are you going to go to makeup or are you and they you know they're used to seeing people that way you know so i think that you get used to what your idea of a pretty girl is a lot of girls would look even better if they didn't wear anymore i think that the attitude toward makeup has changed a lot uh i myself like the playing natural women and i think a pregnant woman is beautiful they always say that women really no no i mean no i i think women looks my mother was pregnant 24 times excuse me that's right 24 24 that's right 18 living good heavens that's right and uh my mother was never sick a day in her life and uh i admire pregnant women and i think they're yeah yeah i'm not sort of out to be pregnant well because everybody's talking about overpopulation it's in to be pregnant but it's really beautiful she was talking about the overpopulation yes you know well i think the whole attitude and the younger view regarding this type of thing is changing and i think that uh it's right and it's fine and she's a beautiful beautiful young lady and you're doing this you're saying natural yeah my husband will deliver it you know and it's just it's fantastic we go to classes and we're with people like nobody there knows them at well they will tonight they happen to see the show but they don't know that i'm an actress or anything it wasn't the question no it's just a non-profit organization that teaches women how to have a prepared child so that you know my tommy's mother my husband's mother had him naturally but it was one of those here it comes there it went you know it just was a lot of pain and a lot of screaming but now you can learn to have a child and have absolutely no medication in your body you know and just assist in it and the films that that we see are just you know you cry at the end and say my god how could somebody miss that you know it's something that was done at home that's remarkable and i'm hoping our second one will be born at home but i have an rh negative thing so i have to go to the hospital for somebody where they have the yeah we have the shock that they give you but i have a terrific and we're vegetarian too so we talk to people and they they get they just don't know how to deal with it you know breastfeeding i guess that's okay to say until they don't you'd be surprised you say to people i'm breastfeeding they go well that's silly we did a whole thing on that with dr rubin one night about you know that more women are doing that naturally because it's better for the baby and it's better for the mother i don't know anybody should get upside down you know a lot of you meet a lot of women on welfare i mean a lot i meet a lot of women on welfare and people that i work with and they get sterilizers at their first shower you know 12 bottles and all the milk is there for free just ready to immunize the baby and help the baby and be just terrific for the baby you can breastfeed your baby for six months before he needs anything because they say the natural mother's milk has the antibodies and that's what the child needs in here that the mother has her vitamins everything that she's got and then they go out and buy this stuff you pour in a can and just fills the baby up and he sleeps and he gets to be 40 pounds before he's two months and everybody compares the weight of their babies you know which is just the rebirth my sister used to work there at the hospital yeah yeah breastfeeding baby they weren't there with them no that sounded like a joke but then why don't you mean well the reaction wasn't based on the joke type thing but there were many instances in the past when women would have other women breastfeeding you know where they didn't have the milk themselves to a group that does that but it's not uh direct it's hand you do with hands and you supply milk for premature babies and babies that need breast milk where the mother hasn't got it now the average man the thought of delivering a baby i said average i hate that word but would show and throw him right into cardiac arrest you know some our all our in-laws say oh you know he'll never go he'll faint and i'll have two patients on their hands you know it's going to be a mess and oh my gosh but you just you learn as you go to class every week and you see a bunch of people around you and say they're going to do it you know and it's going to be all right you got to figure you're probably better equipped by nature to do that then to fix a computer and yet you can learn to fix a computer that's right so you ought to be able to deliver a child it's beautiful and it's i don't know whether the analogy is quite that uh accurate george it's interesting but you got to be able to learn it i mean if you can learn certainly something unnatural you could learn something very natural no it's just fabulous you meet people in the class that that you know look very uh square and shy at the beginning of the class about all of the different things that are explained they don't know what you know same with me i thought i knew all about it but you learn all kinds of different things when you go there you know wow and these kids just blossom as human beings because they're having this you know you mentioned you were a vegetarian can i ask you one obviously you believe it but i mean why well we don't believe that that man needs to consume another animal we believe that um you can get the proteins and the things you need for healthy bodies not just to eat you know canned vegetables and stuff but through the other things that don't need to be killed that's why we don't eat so we don't eat fish or meat but we eat eggs and and milk and things that are supplied there are different forms of that i i don't eat meat a red meat because i don't i just don't like it and i've found that by being off it i feel a lot better and it really got me better it got me more into vegetables yet i'll eat fish i don't i don't worry about the killing part of it but i also think it's stupid to grow grain and feed it to a cow and then eat the cow when you could just eat the grain you know [Music] but isn't that like saying go out and eat the grass and don't drink the milk [Applause] i don't mean grass grass it seems like from what i've read and you can only go by things that that you are you know exposed to reading it seems like we are really not equipped to use meat in the same way we are to use grain i'm going to interrupt here and then we'll come back and follow this we'll be right back after we're one of our sponsors [Music] foreign [Music] oh [Music] you're a real nice guest i'm glad you finally came on the show that's great isn't it true that for a while at least in the articles i ranted for you were quite opposed to the institution of marriage per se you're married now i really still am uh you know i don't i don't do a lot of publicity so i don't come on about things and give advice a lot you know when you're a girl in television they like you too they like you to come out and you know write little columns and things about but i think that i've grown up you know in my own way and everybody has to grow up in their own way you know but i don't think that marriage has uh serves a tremendous purpose i think uh a lot of people grew up and their parents were trying to pretend they had a happy marriage in the living room and then everybody knew from the time you were four that everybody was unhappy with the situation you know what you just do as a kid and you grow up thinking well what why why they tell me one thing and doing another thing you know so i think you i would be proud to say to my child you know i didn't feel that i had to get married in order to have you but i did get married uh i therefore i don't change your mind because my um my husband's parents are italian they're older and my parents are english and i'm sure whatever they are but they also i don't think would have enjoyed it i know they wouldn't have enjoyed the uh screaming and yelling yeah with the kid with the with child coming they wouldn't ever have enjoyed having a grandchild because it wouldn't have been there they would have felt that it wasn't a grandchild so we just thought well it wasn't really that much of a thing to get married because it's given them a tremendous amount of pleasure you know but i if your parents are cool and you don't have to get married you don't have to get married oh you said that okay we'll be right back [Music] i thank you all the album is uh george carlin fm and am on little david records and i hope it's a smasher for you thank you thank you for being with us tonight susan and happy baby in may flip tomorrow night we have uh rob reiner pat boone tony ronald joanne wurley george global paul williams suzanne plachette on thursday and friday john wayne will be with us debbie reynolds roy clark good night this program was pre-recorded [Music]
