was -- it was actually a gift that he gave to me that he trusted me with something so intimate. >> chrystie, thanks very much for sharing your story. >> you're welcome. >> boy, what eloquent testimony. >> it had to be comforting to watch it together as a family. >> it was so brave. >> now we have -- is that really snow behind you? >> we take you -- >> it doesn't stop. >> south lake tahoe. here's the picture. they had kind of a crummy snow year. better late than never. 6 inches of snow fell on the lake just above lake level. even more than that at elevation. we've got offshore winds for southern california so wind advisories could see them blow to 50 miles an hour. that's going to heat things up, too. 70s, 80s, 90s across parts of california. meanwhile, chilly across the northeastern third. hello. i'm mike nicco. it is going to be an extreme day, from 57 at the coast to near 90 inland. check out my accuweather seven-day forecast. a roller-coaster of temperatures

two years later, little jocelyn would be the one to lead the three women on a courageous journey to freedom. >> just like, mom, daddy's car is gone. my heart immediately started pounding because i'm like, should i chance it? if i'm going to do it i need to do it now. >> share with us your emotions when you first realized it's over. i made it. >> this is it. i think we're free now. >> wow. >> you know, guys, i have -- we've all sat down with lots of different people. i was moved to tears with their strength and resilience and i thought approaching it, you know, they were going to be fragile. kudos to them. their family, people around them that have really helped them through this time. >> her ability to raise that daughter in these circumstances just blows your mind. >> and to make a mock kindergarten room like that. but there is so much more to this. it is not just recounting what happened but it's about hope and survival and you can see so much more of the interview in a

disaster in nepal. rescue workers have been scrambling looking for survivors in the tangled masses of rubble in the capital there of kathmandu. the death toll has now surpassed 3700. powerful aftershocks are forcing thousands of people to flee the city and with international relief on the way, helicopters are finally beginning to arrive on mt. everest to rescue hundreds of stranded climbers there. abc's alex marquardt is in kathmandu with the latest on the americans who are trying to flee that country this morning. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, amy. the devastation here in nepal this morning is absolutely staggering. what you're looking at here are the remains of what was once a nine-story tower. now little more than a pile of bricks. the death toll still rising fast and now 48 hours after that massive quake, rescuers know they don't have too much more time to find people in the rubble who are still alive. at least four americans have been killed. all of them on mt. everest after a huge avalanche crashed into the base camp triggered by the quake. more than 250 americans have taken shelter at the u.s.

embassy here in kathmandu. most of them now trying to figure out how they're going to get home. the u.s. government has given $1 million to the cause and is sending two search and rescue teams to join the u.s. special forces already in nepal contributing to what is quickly becoming a massive relief effort. amy. >> thank you so much for that report. the scene at the airport being described by one witness as a complete mad house as you might imagine. foreigners desperate to get out of nepal stuck in the terminal for days because of the lack of flights. our coverage of the earthquake disaster continues online at goodmorningamerica.com on yahoo! it includes information on how you can help the aid agencies responding to the disaster. and back here at home at least 18 tornadoes have been reported in texas in just the last 24 hours, many of them south of dallas. several buildings damaged. emergency crews just beginning to assess the damage there. the storms triggered flash floods and dumped 4-inch hail in some areas.

jenner's older children recalling a time in the '80s when their father seemed to vanish. >> us missing, you know, a time of our lives is still probably the hardest thing for us to deal with and we're trying not to look back, we're trying just to look forward. >> reporter: jenner admitting the depression and isolation of that gender identity crisis led to the former olympian being absent too often. >> you weren't there a lot. >> yes. the big formative years for them, i was really struggling with these issues. i talked to all the boys about this after the fact that, you know, yeah, i didn't do a good job, and i apologized to my kids for that. >> reporter: those children now with a message for jenner, all is forgiven as their father embarks on transitioning to life as a transgender woman. >> in seeing him come out to me and explain his true self, and i was more proud right then to carry the last name jenner and to be a part of the family than at any time before. >> the one thing i think we have gained that means more to us

than anything is the honesty. >> i personally hope that this journey leads to the place that he wants it to. >> reporter: and now jenner's first wife, chrystie scott, talking to george stephanopoulos this morning after watching the interview friday. >> what could you see in his reaction to watching his life unfold there in the interview? >> pain, pain, you know, he -- he was tearful at times, and, you know, it broke my heart. you know, i reached over and tried to give him a little bit -- i'm getting emotional now. i tried to give him a little comfort. it broke my heart for him. it was sad. >> and what do you want families to know. there are going to be thousands of families talking about this in the years to come. what do you want them to know about this experience? >> i'm sure there are plenty of people that don't have the courage to come out at all ever and they live private, dark, tortured lives, and that's tragic. that's just tragic, and the fact

that he did share it with me, that first year, i felt like it was -- it was actually a gift that he gave to me that he trusted me with something so intimate. i felt like i was in charge of something that i had to hold private and dear and quiet and it involves a tremendous amount of trust on both parts. >> reporter: for "good morning america," chris connelly, abc news, new york. >> trust, understanding as bruce said, open hearts and minds. and there's so much to talk about coming out of this so we want to talk to two guests featured on the special friday night, jennifer boylan, professor and author, national co-chair of glaad and dr. johanna olson. medical director at children's hospital los angeles. good morning, welcome to both of you. as i said, jennifer, so many different kinds of questions. i think for a lot of people this is the first time they began to understand there is a difference between gender identity and sexual orientation.

>> exactly, right, and it can be a hard thing to understand but there is a difference. your identity is who you are. your sexual orientation is who you love. in some ways i like to think it's not who you want to go to bed with, it's who you want to go to bed as. >> how do they -- do they influence each other? >> not really in a sense. i mean, george, if you were suddenly georgina. which is an interesting thing to think about. >> i prefer georgia. >> but, okay. >> george. we'll stay with george now. you would still love whoever you love, right. you would still have the heart that you have now and that's generally the case. it's good to understand all transgender experiences are different. it's a wide range of stories but generally who you are is -- it's different from who you love. >> bruce said he had the soul of a woman. that really stuck with me. and, dr. olson, i want to bring you into this. we heard from jenner saying this is the last interview he will do as bruce. walk us through what his transition will look like. >> well, i can't speak about

this particular transition and certainly all transgender journeys are different, and no two look alike but i generally think it's easiest to think about this process in three phases, and they definitely aren't in any particular order, but the first the social changes people make with maybe their clothes, their hair, their makeup and their name and their pronoun, she/her, he/him, they/them for the world to see their gender and what that looks like to those around them and then another phase of transitioning involves the use of hormones and in this case the use of feminizing hormones to bring about the characteristics that will bring the body closer to the gender of identity. and this really involves two things. you have to shut down the production of the hormone your body is making, and this happens in the brain and in the bloodstream and then bring about the feminizing characteristics such as skin changes, changes in

your hair, breast development and changes in the structure of your face and overall body fat distribution. >> thank you, doctor. that is the physical component to all this. there is, jennifer, as you know, such an emotional component, as well. we don't have the time to show the clip from netflix that talks about the struggle of telling your family and how that is so incredibly challenging. >> but it's hard. the thing you keep hearing bruce say is, i don't want to hurt anyone. and i think that that's true, but there does come a time when you have to be yourself. oscar wilde said "be yourself. everyone else is already taken." >> as he said, he just couldn't do it anymore. he said he couldn't pull the curtain any longer. >> it's a very heavy burden to carry, but eventually if you come out and live your truth, people tend to respect you and the people -- it's very -- look, it's very hard for people in your family, the people that you love. my own experience was that my wife and my children came around. this year i will have been

married 27 years, 12 as husband and wife, 15 as wife and wife. >> wow. >> wow. >> that is remarkable. >> that's incredible. >> it's remarkable but in some ways maybe it's less remarkable than you think. >> why do you say that? >> well, because we -- you take your vows for better or worse, right? you're going to love someone and this is a big change. absolutely. but, you know, people change over the course of a long life. if you still have the same relationship at age 60 that you had when you were 20, your marriage is probably in trouble anyway. >> yeah. >> it's a very good point. >> and i love what you were saying and i love what you were saying using george as an example. your heart is your heart and you love who you love. and i think that's a great message. we have a lot of viewers with questions and this is for both of you. please chime in, dr. olson, as well. this one is from kimberly on facebook and she asks, "how do you explain this to children who undoubtedly are thinking about this or may have seen something over the course of this week." this is -- everybody is talking about it and it is really

important to talk about. >> a great question. doc, do you want to take that one, or do you want me to do that? >> sure, i mean i think in talking to any kid, whether that -- whether it's you trying to tell your own child that you're undergoing this physical transition or you're just trying to talk to your children about what they're seeing, it's really quite simple. there are people who are identified as a certain sex at birth who actually don't have that gender of identity, so, in other words, there are people who are identified as boys that are girls, and there are people who are identified as girls who are boys and really starting that conversation early with all children would make us a better society. there would be a lot more tolerance and acceptance and celebration of the trans experience. >> we started that at our dinner table last night. >> did you really? >> thank you all. no question about it. >> my mother said that after watching and saying how educational it was -- >> finally, people have woken up and realized that they know someone who is transgender. >> yep. >> thank you both. really helpful. >> out to rob.

>> george, got a great crowd out here. check out the arts and crafts. look at that. the "gma" pinwheel. we need a little bit of a breeze here. we need a breeze in miami too. check out this live shot, 78 degrees. 74 degrees. it is steamy there. they're begging for a breeze. yesterday hit 96, an all-time record for the month of april. today, 91. you will threaten another record. cool front not coming through for the next couple of days so a couple of showers expected there. meanwhile, snow out in the colorado rockies. upper level low will drop maybe a foot and more showers across parts of the plains. good morning. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist, mike nicco. the bay area micro climate forecast. we have a roller coaster of temperatures today, warmer. tomorrow and wednesday, cooler. thursday and friday, warmer. the weekend, cooler. it will be seasonal at least. this afternoon, clouds will gather along the coast. your temperatures will fall from the 60s into the 50s. 70 in san francisco.

mid to upper 70s around the bay, 80, inland. tonight, some cloud cover filling into the bay. 13th anniversary. where is your husband? >> he's at home. >> he's at home. we know who the boss is, back to you guys inside. >> thank you, rob. >> thank you. >> how about some "pop news"? >> thank you, george. i'm going to get to "pop news." we'll begin for you this morning with an exclusive. we did report last week that derek hough injured himself during a "dancing with the stars" rehearsal and now he's telling us exactly what happened. >> i kicked my foot really hard against a light, broke my toe, and as i was going to get ice for my toe, i rolled my ankle severely and sprained it. >> hey. >> although i can sort of wobble around, it's -- i don't know -- i can't dance. >> oh. so he will be missed. the five-time mirrorball champ

goes on to say he's still trying to figure out ways to help out and be part of team nastia. as you can see, he'll help them rehearse and we can all find out how derek and nastia and his stand-in sasha fare tonight at 8:00 -- >> for him to miss it. >> he must really be hurt, yeah. >> tenth anniversary, we know he is a workhorse and that dramatic music really, but you know what it does -- that hurts and this is his life. so wishing you the very best, derek, and good luck tonight, sasha and nastia. the tribeca film festival closed this weekend with a 25th anniversary screening of "good fellas" and the question took questions from an elated audience moderated by their super fan, jon stewart. ray liotta, robert de niro, lorraine bracco and the others. rem knitsed -- reminisced about murder and mayhem. it tells the real-life story of henry hill. stewart asked, is it true that task master scorsese was still nitpicking over shots and thinking about trimming scenes even as he watched it in full tuxedo at the movie's premiere.

>> i want to see that movie again now. so good. >> i want to learn about mob etiquette. i didn't know that -- >> you don't want to ask. you don't want to ask. stay away. >> yeah, that's part of it. don't ask. >> and you're not supposed to laugh. >> yeah. no smiling. no fun. finally everybody in "pop news" this morning, another reason to reach for that glass of vino. according to a new study, this is not a "pop news" investigation, by the way. this is just a study out of england. participants, although i sort of feel like i did a "pop news" investigation on in this weekend. i was researching this all weekend. >> yes. >> this study comes out of england and participants who had consumed one large glass of wine were consistently voted in the study more attractive than those who abstained. rosy glow on the cheeks, confidence, the wine drinkers experience mimics good health and energy. however, the study goes on to find, and this should not come as a surprise, it is a slippery slope, people. those who had a few too many went from attractive to not so much. so tipsy, okay.

drunk, not so good. the study concluded that alcohol does, in fact, have a positive pulling power giving off the perception that the consumer is relaxed, healthy and happy but only when consumed in moderation. >> it's called liquid confidence. >> yes. >> that was a "pop news" public service announcement. >> yes, it was. >> a lot of volunteers for that study, i'm sure. >> thank you, lara. well, now we have to move on to patrick dempsey and more on his shocking departure from "grey's anatomy." it stunned fans. lara, still, that's why you were researching this weekend. right? >> yes, i was. >> the actor is revealing more about why he really left and what it was like shooting that final scene. abc's nick watt has the story. >> is this is the home of derek shepherd? >> it is. >> reporter: we've woken up from our mcdreamy and the reality is harsh. he's gone. a car wreck and a little medical negligence, now we're moving into the second stage of grief, anger. thousands of furious fans are signing a petition to bring the

dishy dr. derek shepherd back from the dead. with all the brilliant ideas and writers that you have the petition reads in part, make this episode a dreamt one, a hallucination. >> it's a beautiful day to save lives. >> reporter: and patrick dempsey himself? i'm still processing it, he told "entertainment weekly." this is part of the mourning process, the post "grey's" experience. says he won't miss the grueling unpredictable shoot schedules. he has kids, but he sure will miss the other half of mer-der. >> wait for me. >> he stopped. he really had to gather his words but he also couldn't speak because he started to cry. his eyes welled then he just was in a whisper tone that it was magic. we were like a married couple. he lost it right then and there and that was moving. >> reporter: dempsey says that after 11 years, nearly 250 episodes, the time was right to leave what he calls a life-changing role. >> plenty of time. >> reporter: he found out how he'd meet his end just a few weeks ago.

he says "i want to try something different." he wants to produce and race cars a whole lot more. >> when you're acting, are you wishing you were out on the track? >> yes. >> most of the time? >> reporter: but don't worry, ladies and gents, he's not going to totally give up on acting. we'll see that hair, those eyes and the dreamy dimples back on our screens. stage five of grief, acceptance. >> i'll be back before you know it. >> reporter: for "good morning america," nick watt, abc news, los angeles. >> we'll miss him. >> ah. we will. >> he will be back on the big screen, i'm sure. thank you very much. coming up, "what would you do?" john quinones here with a look at his new book and we have youtube sensation hannah hart here live kicking off our huge youtube week and she is answering your questions, so stay with us. do you know a mom who deserves a once in a lifetime event for mother's day? well, we want to give one lucky mom the mother of all surprises with the door knock she'll never see coming.

we hope we have big numbers. >> yeah, no doubt. >> so excited for that. and then james spader is with us. i am a huge fan, obviously you guys are too. there he is, in the social square. we'll talk to him about his new role as the ultimate villain in "avengers: age of ultron" and so much more, george. >> we cannot wait and also excited for the zac brown band gearing up for a big performance. new album "jekyll + hyde" coming up in a little bit. there they are. the zac brown band and hear from them at the end of the show but right now want to go to amy. >> all right, george. well, "what would you do?" is celebrating its tenth anniversary. the hit show stunning millions of americans with thought-provoking scenarios that make you ask yourself that question. now host john quinones is out with a new book by the same name inspired by his one of a kind television program. take a look. >> from lemonade stand winders. >> $20. >> would you like a receipt? >> $20. >> to nasty nannies.

>> pick it up. >> for nine seasons john quinones and "what would you do?" hidden cameras captured the visceral reactions of people caught in over 500 shocking scenarios. arcs recreating situations pulled straight from the headlines like parents sandwich boarding their children as punishment. >> this is like public humiliation. >> exactly. >> maybe he'll learn. >> and this interracial couple who created a hairy situation at a harlem barber shop. >> you were the white girl? >> she's ignorant. >> keep your opinions to yourself because you sound stupid. >> while some stay mum, others speak up. and even called the cops. >> i just witnessed two gentlemen drugging a woman's drink. >> that's john's cue to step in. >> i'm john quinones with "what would you do?." >> oh, you got to be kidding me. >> now it's back celebrating its tenth season and a new book inspiring others to do the right thing. >> are you okay? >> and look who we have here.

we are joined by the undercover experiment here our good friend john quinones. >> good morning, amy. >> congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> i know you credit your mother. momma q. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> she was my biggest inspiration. we were very poor and grew up in the barrios in san antonio and spoke no english when i was 6 years old. we were filing grant farm workers. she said doesn't matter you have to take bean and torety joe tacos for lunch when everyone is taking fancy baloney but what matters is what's here in your heart. >> she taught you what's different are your assets. >> yeah, i mean we spoke spanish and she was the one who said to me, use it to your advantage, the fact that you can speak two languages. you're so blessed. i wound up getting a job at abc news because i spoke spanish to cover central america back in the '80s with peter jennings precisely because i speak

spanish. the kid who used to get punish for speaking it in school winds up getting a network job, his dream job because of that. >> what a fantastic example. your book reminds us, every day is full of what would you do moment. >> absolutely. >> i know that had to be one of the reasons why you wanted to write the book. what do you hope people take away from reading this? >> that there is an inherent good in all of us. that when you hear that little voice in the back of your brain you're witnessing an injustice, discrimination, bias, whatever it is, bullying of children and that little voice in the back of your head says do something. speak up and we see it in every single one of our scenarios. i'm getting asked all the time do you think people are inherently good or 209 because you see so many who step away. the fact is there's always a hero and they're so inspiring and it restores your faith in humanity. >> do you have a favorite "what would you do?" moment? >> i think one of my favorites when we -- we had a mother punishing her child for stealing or lying by wearing a sandwich

board saying, i have to wear this because i stole or because i lied and the reactions were so different from different mothers. a white mother said, you're going to damage that child psychologically by doing this. he's going to be in therapy for years. the african-american mother said, no, this is a good idea. have you ever had a son who was in trouble? do you -- have you ever had a son in prison? better get them now and punish them this way than later. we had two women yelling at each other on the sidewalk. >> but it starts a conversation and people really do think about what the right hinge is to do. >> that is's exactly what it's all about and we're back soon. >> i'm going to say that too. fantastic. we can't get enough of it. it's fantastic. john, thanks for joining us. >> enjoy being here. "what would you do?" is on sale now and as you just heard say, the hit show returns this summer right here on abc. now, let's head over to rob with a check on the weather. i know what you're going to do. >> check out this crowd. they are good to go here with

sara. how old are you? >> i'm 13 years old. >> both sides of the paper. friends from portland. new orleans, it's a bit steamy. fog, 70s. i think you'll see rain heavy at times. let's check out the threat for severe weather. that low comes out of texas where they had that rough weather. i-10 corridor from houston to lake charles, new orleans and mobile where you see the heavy stuff there. fairly pleasant across parts of the northeast and hot in florida. hello. i'm mike nicco. it is going to be an extreme day, from 57 at the coast to near 90 inland. check out my accuweather seven-day forecast. a roller-coaster of temperatures but the constant is going to be dry, all seven days. have a good day! all right. that weathercast is brought to you by carmax. we've got people from brownsville, texas, here. a choir. that's a harmony -- this is a

choir that sang in carnegie hall. that's a harmonic scream right there. toss it back to you in the studio. >> rob, thank you so much. we may be screaming for this man. we're here with "avengers" supervillain james spader who is with us who plays the ultimate bad guy in "the age of ultron." the robot determined to take out the avengers, take a look. >> who sent you? >> i see a suit of armor around the world. >> ultron. >> in the flesh. >> or, no, not yet. not this christmas but i'm ready. i'm on a mission. >> what mission? >> peace in our time. >> yeah. ultron has a way about rationalizing very bad behavior. >> that was the richard iii version of ultron.

>> you don't see you in the flesh. it is your voice and you used motion capture. what was that like for you as an actor? >> i had no skill set to prepare me for that at all. i really -- except for maybe just concentration but it was -- it was really trial by fire. i showed up and they put a suit on me. sort of track suit with colored shapes all over it and camera gear on my back and coming up and on my head and cameras that were right here with lights around them and my face filming all the time. it was pretty crazy. >> and you've done many a film. incredible tv work which most of us are fans of and how does that -- >> i know you from "antique roadshow" from years ago. >> wow. "boston legal." i get giddy and also i just was reading over your filmography. i forgot "seinfeld."

do you remember the name of your character gentleman. >> i don't. i don't. >> stanky hanky. >> oh, yes? >> i was reading that. >> i just remember climbing into that ice cream freezer looking for the rum raisin. >> you and robert downey jr. go way, way back. so how was it for you to be reunited with your pal. >> it was like yesterday. it was really lovely. it was one of the nicest things about doing the film was finding our friendship again. >> that's a beautiful thing and i'm sure it made the experience that much more wonderful. the film is getting incredible reviews. i don't know if you saw while you were upstairs. today on both page 1s of the new york papers, an amazing spectacle. what was it like to be part of the avengers family. >> an amazing spectacle. i mean a real spectacle. it was -- and also so many

people that i admire i was working with again, andy circus' company that was doing all the performance capture stuff and the people from ilm and joss weeden, the director and writer and they're the best at what they do and being somebody who was completely ill-prepared for that process of making that film, it was a tremendous group of people to have standing behind you and propping you up. >> and getting the chance to play the bad guy with you you're very good at. >> well, i had a lot of fun doing it. >> and you all will have a great time watching it. james spader, i could talk to you for hours. i'm a giant fan of your work. >> thank you. >> thank you for copping in. congratulations on the film. >> thank you very much. >> in advance because something tells me -- >> we're doing all right already. >> it's all right. you guys will all find out.
