anthem, locking arms, taking a knee, and raising a fist. >> the message is very clear and you've heard us. and now we're asking you to listen to our message. >> as nfl commissioner roger goodell speaks out, and the player who started it all prepares to take the field tonight. and good morning, america. a big opening weekend for the nfl. you saw all the pl colin kaepernick's protest. that was before the games, and there was a big upset overnight. the patriots winning over the cardinals overnight. >> that was without tom brady. his backup, jimmy garoppolo stepping in. we'll talk to tom about what he was up to. michael was covering football over the weekend. he will be back tomorrow. he's on his way back. to the white house and the test on hillary clinton's health. after she was rushed out of a
7:02 am
on tape stumbling. her aidelifting her into a vehicle. her doctor says it's pneumonia. but there are more questions about her health. cecilia vega has more on this. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. serious questions about her health and about why her campaign did not disclose this diagnosis sooner. hillary clinton's health was the subject of right-wing blogs and conspiracy theories. now it is a central issue in this campaign. the video shows hillary clinton leaving the as the van doors opens, she doesn't move. a team of aides and secret service agents rush to her side. one grabbing her by the waist. another by the arm. her head bobbing. as clinton tries to enter the van, she loses her footing and nearly collapses. it takes three people to help her. clinton nearly hits the ground as they put her in that van. which then drives to her daughter chelsea's apartment. about two hours later, clinton appears, smiling and waving. >> how are you feeling,
7:03 am
feeling great. >> reporter: she greeted a young girl. but ignored questions about her health. >> what happened? what happened? >> it's a beautiful day in new york. >> what happened? >> what happened? >> reporter: initially, clinton's campaign said she felt overheated. it wasn't until hours later on sunday evening that her team revealed she was sick. her doctor said she was diagnosed with pneumonia on friday. >> >> reporter: it came in an example of a recent cough clinton said was related to allergies. >> we have 63 days to go. >> reporter: the doctor says in a statement that the 68-year-old democratic nominee was put on anti-biotics and told the rest and adjust her schedule. adding that she became overheated and dehydrated at the memorial but she is now recovering nicely. her health was the subject of questions in 2012.
7:04 am
fainting and hitting her head. at the time, aes downplayed the severity of the injury, but she later appeared wear ing special glasses for double vision. she had a blood clot. it took her six months to make a full recovery. on the campaign trail, donald trump has turned clinton's health and stamina into an attack line. >> she doesn't have the strength or the stamina. and you know what? we can't be nice and politically correct. we don't have the time anymore, >> reporter: clinton brushing off the attacks as conspiracy theories. >> there are so many of them, i've lost track of them. >> reporter: this morning, she's back home in chappaqua following doctor's orders for rest. this morning, clinton had planned to leave on a campaign swing to california, and her trip to the west coast has been canceled. she's facing renewed calls to release her full medical records. so far, no word from the campaign on whether that will happen. donald trump has also not
7:05 am
>> that's right. thank you. we're going to bring in dr. richard besser, and martha raddatz. our own roundtable in the morning. you saw the video. what did you see? >> she's leaning on a post there. the door is open. she goes to get in, she's supported under her arms. her feet come up off the ground. you can see that she's not able to walk in on her own. when you see something like that, it could be caused by any number of things. what's reassuring to me as a doctor later. she's outside the apartment. able to talk with people and greet. that, to me, is consistent with the story that we're hearing that she was dehydrated and got rehydrated and was feeling better at that time. >> the doctor is saying pneumonia. some people are wondering, could it be something more serious? >> you hear the word pneumonia. people wonder what that even is.
7:06 am
viruses. by funguses. all kind of things. i would like to know how is she examined? how did they make the diagnosis? did she have an x-ray? what kind of pneumonia? >> walking pneumonia. >> that used to refer to microplasma, and people might not know they had it until a doctor put a stethoscope on their chest. people could go about their day. certain types of pneumonia are contagious. other ones don't and there's a lot there as a doctor i would want to know. >> this gets to the dissuggestion discussion of disclosure as well. she was diagnosed on friday. echoes of 2012 when she had the concussion. >> when she was secretary of state. as cecilia mentioned, early in december, december 9th, she called in sick to the state department. they said she's under the weather. what we didn't really know for
7:07 am
she had fallen. they kept saying she was not feeling well. they canceled a trip. they gave no details. she actually was diagnosed with a concussion on a thursday of that week and didn't come out until saturday. tell us about the concussion. then the blood clot later in the month. they said she wants to get back to work. she's making good progress. a month later, we see her with those glasses. and they did not disclose those glasses were for double vision. somebody caught it by looking at the photograph. >> they made a b time that she wasn't hospitalized. >> they said she wasn't hospitalized, but what happens is they bring the hospital to her. they do tests there. they had 24-hour nursing care. but they never, ever said what exactly was going on. >> as a doctor right now, you're seeing a lot of op-eds by other doctors, about what obligation each candidate has to disclose. pretty extraordinary situation.
7:08 am
hillary clinton, 68. when john mccain ran, he released something like 1200 pages. >> some of the calls are for an independent panel to do a medical evaluation. you can't play professional football or baseball without having a medical clearance. without someone doing a thorough wham, who is independent. i don't think that's unreasonable for a president. as you hit your 70s, there are all kinds of problems that tend to come up that you see less in people who are young. and people want to know the health status of their candidates. talking. they also won't disclose things without the permission of a patient or a candidate. >> as we said, neither candidate -- neither candidate has released those medical records. after this and because of the age and what you're talking about, more pressure. >> and brings up those issues of mistrust again for hillary clinton. such a huge issue in this campaign. >> for both sides, yes. a lot of people are wondering about donald trump.

7:09 am
abc's tom llamas is at trump headquarters in new york. what is the campaign saying about all of this? >> reporter: robin, good morning. minutes ago, donald trump weighed in on what has happened to hillary clinton. he says he hopes she feels better, he doesn't know what is going on. he said she had the coughing fit a week ago. he hopes to see her at the debate. the trump campaign is focused on something hillary clinton did over the weekend. speaking at a fundraiser sunday night, she said half of trump's supporters are, quote, a basket of deplorables. the trump campaign is out with a new ad this morning. >> speaking to wealthy donors, hillary clinton called tens of millions of americans deplorable. >> you could put half of trump's supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. the racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, xenophobic, you name it. >> people like you, you, and
7:10 am
>> reporter: now, the clinton campaign and clinton herself did apologize for that statement. the next day, she said, quote, last night, i was grossly generalistic. and that's never a good idea. i regret saying "half." that was wrong. this is something the trump campaign is going to hone in on this week. trump has called this very insulting and saying this will affect clinton in the polls. >> the trump campaign is likening this to something that >> reporter: that's right. donald trump is calling this clinton's 47% moment. you'll remember that's that big gaffe mitt romney had in the 2012 campaign when he compared 47% of america, saying they were dependent on government and they all felt like victims. many people felt that comment possibly costed romney the election. >> let's bring in jon karl and get more. let's start with the deplorable comment. you heard what donald trump is doing.
7:11 am
in several battleground states right now, and hillary clinton's apology, not really an apology. she regretted using the word "half," but reinforced the message she was sending friday night in the statement he sent out. she's betting on the fact that this will not be her 47% comment. >> yeah, that was one of the great nonapology apologies to say she regretted using the word "half." what is the percentage then? one of the ironclad rules of politics is you can mock your opponent. you can maybe get away with calling your opponent names. but you don't mock the voters. that's what she's done. and the danger for her is she's just given a big motivator to trump voters. right now, trump voters are more energized, more motivated than hillary clinton voters. also, independents don't like the name-calling either. >> our poll shows his supporters right now, much more
7:12 am
shows the honest and thus worruy numbers. historic lows for both. 35% for hillary clinton, 31% for donald trump. she didn't help herself yesterday. >> not at all, george. i mean this is her biggest vulnerability as a presidential candidate. that voters simply do not trust her. those are remarkable numbers for both candidates. you have roughly a third saying they trust her. two-thirds suggesting not. if you can't trust her about how she feels, what can you trust her about? this was not simply a lack of transparency yesterday. this was borderline deception. they said she was overheated. she was feeling fine. then you find out she was diagnosed with pneumonia. not a good day on the transparency part. >> what do you make of the argument that she's held to a double standard? she puts out much more information than donald trump. he has a four-paragraph letter. she puts out ten years of tax returns. he doesn't put out any, and the point they are making is,
7:13 am
you all are not covering the other side. >> it's a good point. donald trump had a letter from his doctor. a doctor that wasn't necessarily qualified to make the assessment, and it was frankly a joke of a letter. it said he would be the most healthy, robust president we have ever had. he's not submitted to this. he would be the oldest newly elected president in american history. he clearly has to do something here. but look, this is about her. what happened yesterday is about her. >> and thank you martha and rich. the battle against the zika virus making headlines. miami beach's mayor warns the threat is growing. residents say they are concerned about the chemicals being used to fight mosquitos. gio benitez is on the scene. >> reporter: hey, robin. good morning to you. i gotta tell you some residents are furious. they worry this spray is toxic. in fact, in parts of south
7:14 am
killing off those important honey bees, and now they want it to end. this morning, more spraying is expected after a weekend of fighting off zika mosquitos from the air. with 56 people already infected by local mosquitos in south florida. >> hey, hey, we don't want no spray. >> reporter: right now, some residents in miami beach are more concerned about the spraying than the actual virus. >> folks of miami beach did not consent to we were not consulted. >> reporter: the insecticide is designed to kill adult mosquitos instantly in flight. the cdc says naled is safe. protesters starting an online petition. nearly reaching its 10,000-signature goal. but across south florida, other counties are using a less harmful insecticide. they say it's not harmful to humans, pets or aquatic habitats. >> it's found naturally in the ground. it's an organic material.
7:15 am
>> reporter: as the fight against the disease intensifies, the cdc now warning the money needed to fight zika in florida and across the country is drying up. >> zika is spreading. by the end of this month, we'll be out of money to respond effectively. >> reporter: and because of all of this spraying, we're told that some parents actually kept their children home from school on friday. clearly, this is a huge issue here, george. >> boy, it sure is. thank you very much. now to the stunning recall of samsung's galaxy note 7. urging people with the smartphone to shut it off, return it immediately. linzie janis is here with the details. this comes after scary new reports of the battery exploding. >> reporter: samsung is stepping up its recall, asking owners of the note 7 to take immediate action to protect themselves. >> the all-new samsung galaxy note 7. >> reporter: this morning, an urgent new message from samsung.
7:16 am
>> the last thought in my head is that a brand new device is going to burn down my car, my house. >> reporter: the manufacturer urging customers to exchange their note 7s for a new model after announcing a voluntary recall of 2.5 million devices earlier this month. the devices' lithium ion batteries exploding or igniting, sparking as many as 35 reported fires. >> the smoke was unbearable. black, thick smoke. our whole house was full of smoke. >> reporter: this illinois woman says her note 7 exploded on her night stand, spraying parts of her melted phone on her bed and even on her dog. >> i call it exploding. it shot pieces of whatever, it was inside the phone, out. >> reporter: over the weekend, a 6-year-old boy in new york was rushed to the hospital with burns after his family says one of the recalled devices exploded
7:17 am
watching a video. and those faulty batteries now triggering a new preflight warning across the country. coming straight from the faa. >> samsung galaxy note 7 phones are not to be charged or powered on during this flight. >> if one phone gets trapped in a seat, crushed, is on fire. the whole seat is on fire. you may not have the ability to fight the fire. >> reporter: there could be more trouble ahead for samsung. the company is being sued by a man who different samsung model, the galaxy s-7 edge blew up in his pocket. we have photos of his burnt out phone to show you. samsung tells us it is aware of the lawsuit but won't comment on pending litigation. >> what about the customers who want to turn it in for a safer model? >> reporter: they may have to wait a while, and the new note 7 devices will be made available after they're approved by the consumer product safety commission. no timeline on that. >> can't come soon enough. thanks, linzie.
7:18 am

7:32 am
anniversary of 9/11. not stopping some players from take a knee, raising a fist during the national anthem. kayna whitworth is joining us from santa clara. >> reporter: robin, good morning. the 49ers host the rams here tonight. we saw players across the league show their support for colin kaepernick's call to end racial inequality. in a solemn university, we some teams unify in how to handle the moment. overnight, a wave of nfl members joining colin kaepernick's protests against racism and police brutality. coast to coast, players supporting the movement. entire team es, making the unified decision to stand, by linking arms in sal darety during the national anthem. ? o say can you see ? >> reporter: it was coaches, employees, fans following suit. >> hopefully, it will unify our
7:33 am
needs to be heard. and so, you heard us. now listen to us. >> reporter: the kansas city chiefs doing the same. their cornerback grabbing headlines after raising his fist in the air. two patriots players also raising a fist. this, as over the weekend, roger goodell spoke out. about kaepernick's movement. >> i support our players speaking out about issues they think need to be changed in our society. i do believe the respect for our has come at a cost for some players, like brandon marshall. the air academy federal credit union dropping the player saying while we respect brandon's right of expression, his actions are not a representation of our organization and membership. for some, kaepernick's movement is opening a dialogue. this former player, also a green beret, says while he was initially angered by the stance, over the last two weeks, his feelings have evolved. >> i thought what the seahawks
7:34 am
not because they were together, but a lot of people in the stands were doing it, too. that's what it's all about. bringing people together. trying to be part of the answers. instead of protesting in some way and expecting everybody else to fix the problem. >> reporter: he says it's not inspiring unless the players become agents of change. he's encouraging colin kaepernick and the other players to get involved in their communities. not just financially, but by donating their time, as well. robin? for more, we bring in stephen a. smith. so much happening on sunday in week one of the nfl. first of all, your reaction? that was quite a moment when you saw players, coaches, fans, all joining arms like that. linking arms. >> oh, definitely, especially in seattle. everybody was locking arms together. and they were just basically reminding the country of who we are, who we're supposed to be.
7:35 am
think about that day, how tragic it was for all of us as americans. at the same time, it brought us together. because on that fateful day, the bottom line was, it wasn't black or white. we were all americans and standing as one with somebody elsewhere attacking us as a nation. the seahawks, in particular, that team in particular wanted to remind the world that we're all one. we're all supposed to be about being together. it's about -- it's supposed to be about togetherness. that was the message they wanted to send, particularly on a day like yesterday. i thought they succeeded. >> a lot of what you saw at the football stadiums across the country, oh gosh. it was quite a moment. that one in particular linking arms, standing together. what about the protests, though, the kneeling, the raising of the fists? your reaction to that? >> when you think about it, don't just think about the star spangled banner, but think about
7:36 am
of the united states of america. and to the republic for which it stands. one nation. indivisible. for liberty and justice for all. you see colin kaepernick and others stepping up, kneeling, raising a fist. when he took a knee, et cetera. what they're saying is that, you know, it's supposed to be about justice for all. and that simply is not the case when it comes to a lot of african-americans in this country. history shows that. it's undeniable. they're saying that in spite of everything that's going on and in spite of our willingness to all be together, this flagrant place in this nation, it has to be addressed. that can't be forgotten in the throes of all this that's going on. we live in the greatest country in the world, and there are things to come with it that are beneficial to all of us, bus at the same time, there are issues that need to be addressed and it cannot be forgotten. that's the message the athletes
7:37 am
that's how they feel. they are very fixated on it. >> there have been consequences as we heard in kayna's report. brandon marshall losing one of his sponsors. and you say, that is sending the wrong message. you believe that? >> i absolutely believe that. i think it reeks of hypocrisy. because if america is about everybody, and the land of the free and home for the brave, about freedom of speech, which is in the first amendment of our constitution, how are you going to punish a guy for ex himself? he didn't harm anybody. he didn't impede anything going on. the games were still played et cetera. it shows that when they say, you have freedoms, once again, you don't necessarily have that. you lost an endorsement deal. that's somebody saying, we don't want you to be a part of us. it's unamerican as far as i'm concerned. you're asking him to quell his speech, his rights as a u.s. citizen. that's really something we have to work on as well. i thought it reeked of hypocrisy. >> before you go. jesse is sitting here as well. the patriots.
7:38 am
i don't want to talk about the saints by the way. that breaks my heart. >> i wouldn't do that to you. >> a lot of close games. what about what we saw with tom brady and his beautiful wife, gisele? he is keeping busy. what do you make of that? >> first of all, he has his wife at home with him. she's there. she's his ultimate supporter, and kudos to her. we all know what is coming. tom brady will come back after the fourth game. he'll come back with attitude. he's going to wreak havoc on everybody because he is peeved he is not playing, and he helped in the afc east because the patriots weren't there. the patriots were the only team within the division that won. it's a prelude to what is to come. the new england patriots will win the division yet again. they will get to the playoffs. >> you have some chuckles here from george. >> wreak havoc. >> life is good for tom brady. beautiful wife. throw on the lawn. can't get tackled on the lawn. and your team is winning without
7:39 am
>> but remember, didn't he fill in for drew bledsoe? >> yeah, and won a super bowl. that's not going to happen. tom brady. >> we're not starting a controversy. he's just fine. >> i want to see the pictures some more. coming up on the big backward, greta van susteren is speaking out. an alarming report about parents' medical mistakes with their kids. insiders join us in two
7:40 am
when are they leaving? grilled cheese and campbell's tomato soup go together like grandchildren and chaos. made for real, real life. you know how it is, someone does something nice for you and you feel obligated to do something nice back. maybe your aunt sent you a crocheted scarf, you sent a thank you note... and the crochet just kept on coming. well, at carmax, you don't have to return the favor. they'll buy your car even if you don't buy a car from them. is uncomfortable. and tight. in places it shouldn't be. carmax won't make you feel that way. lucky you.
7:41 am
back now with the big board. our team of insiders is here live. dan abrams here with the first one. it deals with fox news and greta van susteren. she left the network earlier this month, and she's taking on her former bosses saying they failed to check roger ailes' sexual harassment allegations. this is something about the
7:42 am
>> and she went after gretchen carson in multiple interviews, calling her a disgruntled employee, saying her allegations were wrong. for greta to now come forward and say, i didn't mean to defend him. that's a part of it. i regret it, et cetera. what about the part where you were attacking gretchen carlson? i think a more full and complete apology is really needed the tides here. >> she said on facebook, i regret roger ailes was not supervised by those in a public corporation who had the duty to supervise him. will these comments affect ongoing litigation? >> look. i think she may end up having litigationp litigation. greta is a friend of mine. >> greta is a friend of mine. i have enormous respect for her. >> i do, too. >> the bottom line is to suggest she didn't know roger ailes had almost complete autonomy at fox
7:43 am
everyone knew that roger ailes had almost complete autonomy to do what he wanted there. and she made comment after comment after comment supporting him, not just saying something like, you know what, i worked with him. he was always professional. i never saw anything like that. she went much further than that in her comments. it's a little bit tough for her to have it both ways. if she does end up in litigation with fox, a lot of the old statements will come back to haunt her. >> isn't her husband a lawyer? >> he is. a prominent lawyer. the charge on the legal front. >> we'll see what happens. thanks, dan. now to the concerning new report about parents' medical mistakes. the american academy of paid yat -- pediatrics, putting 2,100 parents to the test. finding more than 80% of them made at least one dosing error measuring liquid medication.
7:44 am
jen, when you see these numbers, 68%. researchers discover 68% of the time the errors would have led to an overdose. this is startling information. >> absolutely, robin. and here's the actual study. it occurred in the premier journal of pediatrics. and somt some context here. we have heard there are issues with dosing. particularly liquid medications for kids because they come mostly in that liquid form. so this study really sought to further define the labeling and the dosing. and to some extent literacy. do we need labels in spanish? do parents really understand decimal points and milliliters? that can be hard to understand. and the results as you mentioned, over 85% made errors, and 68% made overdosing errors. this is a wakeup call. this could be a life or death situation. >> what can parents do to get it right? >> i think the first thing, ask, ask, ask, ask your pediatrician. ask the pharmacist. make sure you understand what

and then -- and then hi finally, um, he asked me if he could play with me. >> wow. >> what a good guy. >> did he give you tips on your game? >> um, not really. we didn't really talk about it. we talked about the celtics. i'm a huge celtics fan. he asked me my name and where i go to school. i asked him why he was here. he said his son goes across the street. his son goes to school school. so it was cool. i play basketball there all the time. >> listen, buddy. we have a cool message for you from someone very, very special. i want you to take a listen to this. okay? check this out. >> all right, yeah. >> what's up, robbie? it's isaiah thomas. thanks for letting me shoot with you the other day. i know we talked about this upcoming season. i would like to invite you to
8:35 am
>> that's incredible. >> really? >> you get to be his guest at a boston celtics basketball game. we want to say congratulations. you just started high school. good luck with that. enjoy the game at the celtics, as isaiah thomas' guest. congratulatio congratulations, man. >> he's in shock. >> thank you so much. >> we love that. all right. >> now get to school. now get to school. did you books growing up reading? >> mine was "charlotte's web" without question. [ cheers and applause ] >> this is going to show how old i am, mine was "homer price." yeah. >> one clap. >> one clap. >> one slow clap. >> a clap for the doughnut machine. >> yours? >> shocker. "where the wild things are." [ cheers and applause ] a classic.
8:36 am
"to kill a mocking bird." [ cheers and applause ] and the reason i ask this is because when you're growing up, my mother and father were big on education. always reading books. there are a lot of kids that are in underserved communities and they don't have access to books. they don't have access to libraries. there is this amazing program by jetblue. they have vending machines for the kids in underserved communities like this one right here. jetblue. and, my friend, carrington, where is carrington? where is carrington? come on in here. yeah. [ cheers and applause ] all right. show me how it works. what do you do? >> first, you push this button. >> mm-hmm. >> then have you used a vending machine before? >> i have. >> okay, so then you push yes. >> okay. >> so then, you look down here. what's your age group? well -- older than that. we'll just say -- 10 to 14. 10 to 14.
8:37 am
that's the oldest group. >> then you just pick one of these right here. >> oh, gosh. ooh. how about "on a clear day." >> and then you push select. >> and just like that? >> mm-hmm. >> oh, my gosh. carrington, can you get it for me? wow. so what do you like about this? >> oh, there's another one. >> there's another one. step into reading. what is it you like about this? >> it can help kids in need that can't get books from their school or something. >> you like to read? >> mm-hm >> well, you can have these two books. how about that? >> thank you. [ applause ] >> and where is -- come on. come up here. she's from jetblue. social responsibility. i feel like a giant already. here i am on the riser, even taller. come up here. come up here. so tell us how this program got started. >> we wanted to find a way to
8:38 am
crew members. we found out that education and youth was a top priority. we knew that we could make a difference. and we decided to come up with a creative program. and soar with reading was born. and then, a few years ago, we decided to take it up a notch and we came up with the vending machines. so we put them where there's book deserts, where people can't buy books. >> your mom or someone is telling you to smile. she keeps going like this. is there a book battle you want to tell us about? >> it ended on the 31s we allowed people to get on and vote for the next city to get the next 100,000 books. >> and where is that? >> we're excited about ft. lauderdale. >> ft. lauderdale. wow. and how many books? how many books have you all, do you think, that you have put into the hands of some kids? >> we have given out this year alone, we gave out 50,000 books in detroit, just through the vending machines.
8:39 am
we'll do another 100,000 in ft. lauderdale over the summer. >> oh, gosh. and what is it? what was it about the vending machine? why that kind of way of doing it? >> it gives kids the power of choice. no adult is telling them what book they have to take. they just go and take the book that they want to take. it allows the children really to take as many books as they want. it gives them the opportunity to share books and swap books with each other. >> i love that idea. >> some of the girls in detroit started a book club. >> did they really? >> it was really cool. >> we'll have to have them on. this was my book. you pick what you want. how old are you? how do you like that? [ laughter ] carrington, thank you very much. >> thank you, thank you. >> we appreciate what jetblue is doing. coming up, "matilda" star mara wilson is here. grown up. opening up about robin williams and more. mara wrote a book. what do you got in there? which one did you pick?

we're back now with mara wilson. you know her from "mrs. doubtfire," "matilda" and other movies. she's revealing the ups and downs of childhood stardom in her new book, "where am i now?" i was just thanking you because
8:43 am
it down. >> thank you. >> the title, where did it come from? >> it's what i feel a lot of the time. what am i doing here? what am i -- i shouldn't be here. the original title was "k" for kid because when you're a child on a film set, they put a parenthesis k next to your name to indicate you were a kid. i felt like the odd one out. i was a kid on set school with adults. i was the only girl in a house full of boys for a long time. you have seen a lot of things on the internet. you've seen a lot of it, sort of, like, where is she now? where did she disappear to? >> your memories are so vivid. i can't believe you can remember with such detail working with the greats like robin williams. it took me to those sets and gave me an idea of what it must be like to be a child actor. i want to remind our viewers. we have a clip of you and robin in action. take a look. >> oh, yeah. >> look at that face. you remind me of stuart little.
8:44 am
do you know that book? "stuart little "? >> yes, it's one of my favorites. >> oh, mine, too. [ cheers and applause ] >> yes. >> we -- we actually wrote that in because i was reading, i was reading "charlotte's web" and "stuart little" at the time. and so robin and i talk about that. robin wrote that in there. >> what was it like dealing with robin and with mrs. doubtfire? >> i was a little nervous when i first saw i was a little nervous. he actually sang. he asked me what kind of music i liked. and being the drama nerd i was, i said i liked musicals. he said, he started singing "there's nothing like a dame" from "south pacific." so he was a man dressed as a woman singing a song about how there is nothing like a woman. >> that'll do it. >> he was great guy. so kind with kids. >> and danny de vito.
8:45 am
"matilda." what was that like to play that part that so many girls just adored? >> i was so thrilled. i was so thrilled. that was a character i loved. i adored. my mother used to read it out loud at the local elementary schools. my brothers loved it. and she was like the first girl character that she is so cool and that is who i want to be. and i did get to be her. >> and danny de vito did something very nice just before you lost your mom. >> he did. i thought that my mother had never go he said he had brought her a print of the movie while she was dying. he and rhea were like, fun uncle, fun aunt. the kindest, most wonderful people. i owe them forever for all the good things they did for me while my mother was sick. >> i owe you for giving me a good read. i asked you, where are you going? you said you want to keep on writing. please, keep on writing. >> thank you so much. >> great voice. so much to tell. the book is fantastic.
