character. >> reporter: baron cohen called wilson's allegations demonstrably false. one the writers and producers of grimms barbie told "sunday morning," quote, this makes no sense. not only was rebel's character consistent how she was described in the script, which rebel had read and approved prior to filming, she also had full agency in all aspects of her character dawn. one of eight people contacnecteo the film who came forward to cast doubt on wilson's claims. nevertheless, she writes when the production finished, quote, it really sank in. it felt like sasha baron cohen had sexually harassed me. >> it's not about canceling him. it's more about expressing my truth and what happened. >> reporter: she felt wronged before when tabloids in australia claimed she had repeatedly lied about her back

houseplant. i remember my grandma had a jade plant just like this. i am going to take you into my big tropical greenhouse right now and show you some more varieties. this is my original greenhouse here at the farm. i now have seven others, but this one is the most beautiful. this is where i can spend some good quiet time grooming and learning and looking. this is medusa. look at all the heads. it's an extraordinary plant. on my porch, you saw all the gorgeous plants. i am also going to show you how to pot some of them. choose what kind of pot you really like. could be a clay pot, could be a porcelain pot, and you have to use the right soil. i found just the right mix here, tropical potting mix. it includes lava rock, the fiber from the shells and also includes sand for good drainage. you put it in the bottom of the pot.

what i call a shard. it covers the hole in the bottom of the pot, but it doesn't allow the soil to drain out. and then put a little bit of your beautiful soil in that pot. the top of the plant, should be at the top of the pot, which you are using for the repotting. that looks good. and this sad little leaf easily taken care of. just take a sharp snip and some water. this is the tropical houseplant food, just a little bit around the base of the plant, will give it a good head start. another thing that i would do is leaf shine. a little bit on a rag, take the leaf and very gently shine it up. see how pretty? that really looks good. of course, it's not all about

showing off. plants make you feel better. they become your friends. well, i hope this isn't -- oh, blackie is here. blackie is the greenhouse cat. i hope this encouraged you to grow some beautiful plants of your own and nurture the plants that you have. plants give a lot of joy and happiness as well as beauty to your home.

>> alex, your choice. >> that's just one of the memorable roles that assures michael douglas a place in movie history. now he is making history of a different sort and he is in conversation with our mo rocca. >> that was here when i was here. 60 years ago. >> reporter: it's been a long time since he was a student here. but on the campus of university of california santa barbara, michael douglas still knows his way around. >> this used to be a world war ii military marine base. so it was all filled with barracks. >> reporter: the theater with his name on it is a new addition. >> this is the most expensive lobby that you are ever going to find. appropriate that it's under the men's room and women's room. >> reporter: but when douglas was enrolled here, he didn't have the same sense of direction. >> and getting to my third year in school, they called me into the counselor's office and said,

you have to declare a major. i said, i don't know, man. i think -- and i thought theater would be easy. i can't say i had any big desire. i thought, well, maybe i know something about it. my mother is a stage actress, my father an actor. so i reluctant tantly started. >> reporter: his mother was actress diana douglas, seen here in the indian fighter, opposite michael's father, the legendary kirk douglas. >> i made myself a promise, crixus. i squor if i ever got out of this place, i'd die before i watched two men die tofight to e death. >> reporter: michael didn't make quite the same impression at first. did you perform in this face? >> yeah, on this stage. with my little wastebasket right off stage, because i'd get sick every time. terrible stage fright.

and blah, come on out and give it my all. >> reporter: but that unpleasant taste was soon replaced by the sweet smell of success. >> how are you, nurse ratchet? happy to be back. >> reporter: in 1976, douglas won an oscar for producing "one flew over the cuckoo's nest." in 19 # 8, he took home another one for his performance in "wall street." >> agringredient is good. >> reporter: douglas has shown uncanny instincts, for choosing projects that meet the moment. his gordon gekko came to personify the of a ris of the 1980s. >> an accident in a nuclear power plant. >> reporter: 1979's "the china syndrome" about the dangers of nuclear power hit theaters only 12 days before the three mile island disaster. so, it would seem his latest project is an outlier. >> dr. franklin, philadelphia.

>> what on earth are you meant to be? >> an american. >> reporter: why did you want to play ben frazer? >> wow. i had never done any period pictures. that was part of the reason. >> reporter: in the series fra fra franklin streaming next month on apple tv+, he plays benjamin franklin during his 80-year tenure in paris. that's where the founding father spent most of the revolutionary war, petitioning france for aid in the fight against the british. >> how long must we stay? >> until we win franchises to o -- france to our side and secure our independence or we're hanged. >> reporter: while 18th century france certainly qualifies as period, douglas sees the series as every bit as contemporary as his other work. >> for me, this series is such a

reminder of how fragile democracy is. you start thinking about the time we first created our constitution and to see the kind of shape we're in now, it's a reminder. >> reporter: the success of the revolution was by no means assured. had the americans failed, the would-be founders would have been hanged. franklin, america's first d diplomat, understood the need to go slow and steady with the french. >> there is a quote in the show. diplomacy must never be a siege, but a seduction. >> merci. >> a lot of trouble with his fellow congress members, john adams, thomas jefferson, a couple of others, because it took eight years while he was over here to achieve what he wanted to. >> do they need to attack us?

>> they mean to see me, their heads lie in beds of electricity. who am i to dissuade them? >> reporter: it was worth the wait. benjamin franklin secured the support of the french. their money and arms were critical to the survival of the american republic. franklin left france at the age of 79, the current age of the man sitting in front of me. ben frianklin had a hell of a third act. the last third of his life was the most productive by many accounts his happiest period. is that something that inspires you? >> yeah, this has been great time for me, but i have been very fortunate. catherine and i have been together, it will be 25 years come this year. >> reporter: douglas met actress catherine zeta-jones in 1998 at a film festival. while franklin took years to woo france, douglas worked a little faster. >> on your first date with

catherine, you said to her? >> you did your homework, mo. well, i blurted out, i'm going to be the father of your children. >> reporter: okay. >> go on. >> reporter: you were in your mid-late 50s at this point. when you said that, did you think, wait a minute, do i really want to have children at this age? >> with catherine zeta-jones, yeah. yeah, i think so. oh, yeah. i think we could do that. twist my arm. oh, that's far enough. okay. >> reporter: they are the parents of dylan and carris, half siblings to cameron, douglas' son from his first marriage. michael douglas's children and his film work are his legacy. as is this stretch of land down the coast from his alma mater. >> this is just a lousy view. >> reporter: the douglas family preserve in santa barbara is today a favorite spot for

dogwalkers. recreational paragliders, and the man himself. >> i read about this in the paper. they were trying to save this spot here. so i just signed up and said, you know, contribute x, name a park after you. >> reporter: 60 years after he reluctantly stepped on stage, michael douglas is looking out feeling very much at ease. >> and one of the joys i get is when people recognize you and say, hey, thanks for the park, you know. it's great. so, to see it now and see the importance, it means a lot. rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd,

for years now, our colleague jonathan vigliotti has traveled the country reporting on the effects of climate change on small town america. he shares some insights from his new book "before it's gone." >> scientists have been warning about climate change since the mid 1800s when the western world was revolutionized by coal burning, co2 spewing industrial machines. those warnings largely discard the have become a self-fulfilling prophecy. i have seen this trauma firsthand while reporting from american main streets that have surrendered to extreme weather. people, landmarks, traditions gone forever. according to data from the u.s. census bureau an estimated 2.5 million americans were

forced from their homes last year because of extreme weather. it doesn't have to be this way. a new generation of scientists has prescribed medication to heal our planet. reducing greenhouse gases has always been drug number one, and it is critical. but even if we cut all of our global emissions today, it could take decades to lower earth's fever. similar to how as plin doesn't stop a headache immediate lid. fortunately, there is a faster acting treatment. returning our habitat, our towns to a natural state. healthy habitats are more resistant to the impacts of extreme weather. the town of lahaina, on the hawaiian island of maui, was prescribed this but didn't take the medicine. last year they experienced disastrous consequences. 80% of the town was destroyed and more than 100 people were killed in what became the deadliest wildfire in modern american history. local leaders described the disaster as a bomb going off, implying there was no warning.

but nearly ten years earlier, scientists noted hawaii's war warming climate increased the fire threat. they recommended removing dry invasive grasses and using fire resistant materials when building. a federal program would even help fund the costs, but local leaders didn't act in time. in the miles-long path of destruction, only one home remained unscathed. the owners of the house with the red roof, as it's known today, this made updates to modernize their home, but those changes also may have helped protect it from the fire. people everywhere are listening and taking action. and we all have the power to do the same. what if there was a cruise that felt like no other? a cruise created by foodies— for foodies. one chef for every 10 guests, every meal prepared to order, and every plate a personal discovery.
