we have got it all covered for you. we start with garrett haake outside that courtroom in downtown manhattan garrett, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. security officials in new york city have been preparing for this moment since even before mr. trump first predicted his own arrest two weeks ago tomorrow will be the first history-making day when the first-ever twice impeached president will stand before a judge and become the first ever to face criminal charges new york city this morning preparing to become the setting for an unprecedented legal and political drama as donald trump returns to face the criminal charges against him. mr. trump expected to face some 30 separate charges according to two sources familiar with the matter the first-ever filed against a former president in an indictment handed up last thursday, still secret and under seal until his arraignment tuesday. the case developed by the manhattan da centers on hush money payments former trump

fixer michael cohen claims he made to an adult film star on his behalf hoping to buy her silence about an alleged affair a decade prior mr. trump insists there was no affair his attorneys insist there was no crime. >> i very much anticipate a motion to dismiss coming because there is no law that fits this. >> reporter: mr. trump's arraignment will include being he will give a major speech tuesday night on his return to florida. but his recent comments on the case may jeopardize what he could say, with some suggesting a possibility of a gag order imposed by the judge that judge has been the subject of trump's posts that mr. trump's own lawyer disagreeing. >> i have no reason to believe

that. >> reporter: but mr. trump's legal challenges won't end at the mar-a-lago gates post reporting that justice department is amassing possibl obstruction by mr. trump citing sources familiar with the matter in the special counsel's investigation of classified documents allegedly kept at the former president's florida home. nbc news has not confirmed that report and the justice department is not commenting mr. trump on social media on sunday attacking all of th investigations against him as efforts to, quote, interfere with, rig and steal elections. while mr. trump is in a courthouse tomorrow, a group of some of his most vocal supporters led by marjorie taylor greene will hold what they're calling a peaceful protest on his behalf just behind our camera position mr. trump argued this city is so set against him he cannot get a fair trial here, saying he might call for a change of venue, once this process is fully underway savannah

>> garrett, thank you. juan to turn to nbc senior legal correspondent laura jarrett. hi, laura. an arraignment is usually pretty pro forma proceeding. >> yes. >> in court. this one will be watched what should we expect? >> yeah. it could be over within a matter of minutes obviously, it will be the first time we actually hear in public the charges read against the former president that will be a moment, obviously, unprecedented in so many different ways. it will also be the first time we hear mr. trump actually enter a plea, obviously, of not guilty he has vowed to fight these charges. we wouldn't expect anything else and then they might talk about what's known as discovery, some of the evidence they gathered against the former president they are required to turn over that evidence. you will hear about dates to come back. again, obviously a ministerial thing. anything but a ministerial case. >> but there is the booking procedures for any criminal defendant. technically you are under your arrest you have to get a mug shot. >> he's not free to leave.

even if we don't see handcuffs he is not free to leave. it's a custodial setting he will be fingerprinted the mug shot issue is under issue. we're not supposed to have that. actually, under new york law, they're not supposed to release that but whether or not it happens, we'll see. >> let's talk about what the public will see. a group of news organizations has asked for there to be cameras in the court you also have the former president being very vocal, as is certainly his first amendment right. how does that affect the case? >> the whole issue is whether or not tainting the jury pool and the whole point for obviously any defendant to get a fair trial and speaking out against the judge, speaking out against the prosecutors is always a move that no lawyer would say is a good idea. on the other hand, we have never seen a case like this. this is someone running to be the next president of the united states so it will be hard to see the judge saying he can't defend himself. he has a first amendment right it will be interesting to see if the judge issues any

admonishment to anyone. to be careful about tainting the jury pool. >> laura, thank you very much. now to the political fall-out from this historic legal case. nbc senior washington corresponden hallie jackson joins us with that story good morning the president has been fund-raising, revving up support. in the short-term, it seems like this indictment has been rocket fuel to his campaign. >> for now look at the money they raised just since news of the indictment came out last week. the trump campaign says they raked in $5 million. they're selling indictment swag and merch. they are leaning into this the new post online poll shows mr. trump has increased his lead over florida republican ron desantis in a hypothetical one-on-one matchup. yes, trump world is pointing to all of that, that revving up support, as you put it. but there is question of how much this might be bravado in the face of legal problems. that said, there is a sense among many republicans that this

particular case they back up mr. trump saying it is politically motivated. one republican who is no fan of mr. trump says, hey, i want to see mr. trump go away, but i don't want to see him go to prison on this charge. it encapsulates the sentiment there. we don't actually know, nobody knows right now, the specifics of what is actually in this indictment, other than, of course, the prosecutor's office and the manhattan d.a.'s office so that's something that a lot of people are looking to. >> absolutely. are there any poll numbers that show what voters think about the particular charges? again, we don't know the nature of the legal case, but the fact of the indictment? >> yeah. the fact he's been indicted at all. there is a new abc news/ipsos poll shows half of americans think these charges are serious. nearly half, 45% do think mr. trump should be charged with a crime. there is a poll that says people think criminal charges should disqualify donald trump from running for office. by the way, they don't technically disqualify him. he can still run.

he says he's going to. but through all the numbers there's one important trend line. partisan divide. they're very clear. this poll shows how mr. trump has kept his grip on the party. 72% of republicans say donald trump has had a positive impact on the gop. nearly 80%, 8 in 10 see themselves as part of his maga movement overall. >> hallie jackson, thank you very much. also this morning communities across the country are facing a long recovery after a weekend of devastating storms. take a look at this map. so there were 100 reported tornadoes touching down from iowa to new jersey. that severe weather being blamed for more than 30 deaths, widespread damage and there's potential for even more storms this week. we will get to al's forecast this morning. but first nbc's emilie ikeda joins us. >> reporter: it is widespread across more than a dozen states. the severe weather proved to be

town altering. for here in arkansas. you can see the stairway, this entry way to a home completely reduced to rubble. the path of devastation changed by a tornado that changed everything for this town in a matter of minutes. this morning a colossal clean-up is underway. towns from the south to the midwest are facing unimaginable destruction. it comes after a weekend that saw a band of severe storms sweep across the country. more than 50 confirmed tornadoes touched down in 14 states, killing at least 42 people. 32 people. >> stop! there is debris coming down on you. >> reporter: this funnel ripping across the roadway. >> oh, my god! >> reporter: while a tornado in belvedere, illinois, left 50 near injured and 1 dead. concert goers helped free people trapped beneath a collapsed roof.

as the system moves east, rare twisters formed in new jersey and delaware. we saw the first tornado-related fatalities in 40 years. and in arkansas, harrowing moments caught on camera. from the monster storm that flipped cars and flattened homes. kimberly was at a dentist office in little rock when a tornado knocked her off her feet. he desperately clung to her husband as debris swirled around them. if your husband hadn't held on to you, what would have happened? >> i would have been sucked out the door and taken by the tornado. he saved my life. >> reporter: remarkable survival stories from residents now left to pick up so many pieces. >> oh, wow. so the roof has completely blown off? >> about half of it is, yes. >> reporter: in the face of so much destruction, members of this church still coming together and gathering outside, a show of what once was for a sunday service. >> the idea of meeting here and being seen here just seemed like

the right thing to do. >> reporter: from churches to homes to schools, the damage in this neighborhood touches just about everything. even schools here are closed at least through next week canceled. the death toll continues to climb. now at least 15 people have been killed by the storms, and the region would be up against a one-two punch with another severe storm system set to move in tomorrow. hoda? >> emiiey, thank you for the storm info on what's happening. al, what's going on? >> we talked about this on friday. there's a storm set-up. we have a much more active april on tap. and unfortunately, it is playing out. 7 million people under winter weather alerts stretching from the west into the plains. wind alerts 39 million people. right now we have a risk of severe weather down through the south and the gulf coast. wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour.

tornadoes possible. as we look at the radar, this area lined in pink. tornado watches right now and just to the east of laurel, texas, we are looking at -- i should say, laurel, mississippi, we are looking at a tornado warning right now. we're watching this closely. storms develop today over the rockies. western third of the country is snowy and windy, two feet or more. red flag warnings for arizona to oklahoma because of the winds. low pressure system to the east. blizzard-like conditions up into the northern plains, but ahead of this system, we've got a tornado, severe thunderstorm risk. severe storm risk for 30 million people. strong tornadoes expected in the same areas we saw on friday with the risk of ef-2 up to des moines. down to little rock. springfield. ef-2 tornadoes as well. wednesday this moves to the east. snow and wind continues in the upper midwest.

look at this. 32 million people at risk. tornadoes likely from buffalo, cincinnati, indianapolis, on into detroit. the rainfall 3 to 5 inches of the rain fall 3 to 5 inches of rain locally through the south and back up to the north from fargo into the rockies. we are talking some areas could pick up 2 feet of snow or more. so a very volatile 48 hours coming up. >> when you say impossible conditions, that's saying something. all right, al. thank you. craig joins us now. good morning, craig. >> good morning to you as well. there was a welcome sight for the world's catholics to start holy week. pope francis celebrating palm sunday before a massive crowd in st. peter's square, one day after the 86-year-old was released from the hospital nbc's ann thunderstorm -- anne thompson has made her way to vatican city good morning >> reporter: good morning, craig, from a very windy vatican city

today. he will have a public audience on wednesday and then on holy thursday, he will travel to a juvenile prison on good friday, he will be at the way of the cross and then he'll be back here in st. peter's square to preside over easter sunday mass. and you can bet all this week that the world will be watching to see just how he holds up. craig? >> always unflappable anne thompson not getting blown over there in vatican city thank you so much. meantime, march madness spilled into april now and still living up to the hype. on the women's side, lsu captured the national championship for the first time in school history. and tonight it's the men's turn. uconn faces san diego state after another thrilling buzzer beater on saturday sam brock in houston where that game will be played tonight. hey, sam good morning. >> reporter: good morning. what a tournament. the san diego state aztecs did not lead in the second half against the fau owls until that

boost from butler's strength his sister was murdered 14 months ago he told me he definitely got an assist on that buzzer beater. >> i think she was with me on that last shot she probably got the ball in a little bit i miss her, and i'm just happy i'm able to do this for her. >> reporter: after the game, butler went back to the hotel room with his parents and they were watching the highlights over and over again. he said he can't believe how perfect it went off. from the release to the swish of the ball he was standing a fraction of an inch from the baseline right here one little bit to the side and none of this would have happened it was meant to be >> what an incredible ending i mean, it was like, they were behind the whole time. incredible one second that it mattered. and then they won. >> on the third hour lsu's winning coach will join us live. >> such fun! >> love her outfit mr. roker, what you got? >> strong storms moving to the panhandle of florida parts of the gulf coast,

through your mind? >> i was terrified in that moment, my initial reaction was, your kids need to get out of here. >> reporter: now the 25-year-old teacher is demanding the school be held responsible for the near fatal incident failing to protect her from the student's quote known history of random violence. despite multiple warnings including three staffers saying that he was carrying a gun the administration refoozed to take appropriate action according to the new complaint. do you feel like you could have been better protected by the school >> yes. >> do you feel like they should have done more >> yes. >> reporter: the local prosecutor decided not to charge the 6-year-old boy but is

investigating whether others could face charges everything about this is so unthinkable. i wonder what you think or how you feel about this student. >> you know, there's some things that i'll never forget, and i just will never forget the look on his face that he gave me while he pointed the gun directly at me that's something that i will never forget. >> reporter: in a previous statement the schools told nbc news they are focused on the well being of the student and staff and added security measuring to the building. in the past the other two administrators named in the lawsuit have not commented let's bring in the attorneys

that filed the lawsuit moments ago. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> you know her well how does she feel about this step and bringing the lawsuit? >> abby is a courageous young lady so brave you were able to hear from her two weeks ago. she is really pushing through. every day is different and challenging and dealing with this for her entire life the physical, the emotional trauma she is ready for what we are doing today and will hold those accountable for what happened to her, the tragedy completely preventable. >> suing the school board, superintendent, principal and assistant principal. the lawsuit says she received the warnings what are the facts that you have gather ds? >> at least three opportunities for them to stop this from happening. and how many people were involved in the decision making

is it your understanding that the school board is going to say this is part of the job of being a teacher? you assume a risk of being shot? >> that's correct. that's what they maintained up until today. that is a part of the job that a first grade teacher is going to be shot by their own student, a 6-year-old that is unacceptable, outrageous and not what happened here. >> $40 million in damages. >> she has permanent injuries. the hand will not ever be the same and bullets the surgeon said they can't remove it. it is lead and living with the bullet parts in the body it is a fair number. >> emotionally, what do you think is next for abby what do you think is -- your future holds and she said she doesn't know. >> it is uncertain

to the courthouse behind me where most of what will happen will be away from cameras. he will have his fingerprints taken, dna swabbed he may get a mug shot taken before appearing before a judge. we have been reporting on the indictment some 30 charges are included in it we will only find out officially what they are when the judge unseals them in this hearing mr. trump is expected to plead not guilty then he is leaving new york city headed back to florida where h will continue to turn this into political opportunity. his campaign says they already raised more than $5 million since news of this indictment was reported savannah, trying to turn the political challenges he will face into something that unites his supporters we will see all of it play out beginning tomorrow morning >> thank you, garrett. in a surprise move, saudi arabia and other oil producing countries announced yesterday they will cut their output by more than a million barrels a

day starting next month. it is likely to boost gas prices ahead of the summer driving season higher prices would also benefit russia which uses its own oil revenue to pay for the war in ukraine. the saudi oil ministry said the cuts are designed to stabilize the oil market and insisted they are not politically motivated. this morning a story of hope from the parents of one of the university of idaho students murdered last fall they have found a unique way to plant lasting memories of their son. gadi schwartz joins us now to tell us how it all came about. gadi, good morning >> reporter: yeah. good morning while the suspect is still in jail, the community of one of the victims is doing its best to honor his legacy we spoke with ethan's family about how they're remembering him and finding the strength to move forward >> ethan's smiling on us, right? >> reporter: in his community, a new hope is blooming this spring, that his memory won't be

forgotten. >> ethan, you're one of a kind. >> reporter: stacy and jim chapin are volunteering at the tulip farm where their son once worked before he was murdered along with his girlfriend and two other university of idaho students last november. >> ethan loved people, and he loved -- he was an inclusive kid, and he loved a great adventure. ethan was the kid that the rest of the kids would call and find out when he was on the work schedule because everybody wanted to work with ethan. when this happened, the kids decided that they needed a way to honor him. >> reporter: ethan's fellow farmers dedicating a red and white tulip mix to him named ethan's smile. after one of his most memorable features >> i was a lucky kid to get to work on the tulip farm with him. he had the best smile. you couldn't see it and not just instantly smile back. >> reporter: the proceeds from the bulbs going towards a foundation started in his name that aims to provide

scholarships for students that attended his grade school to go to the university of idaho >> until it became tangible and people grasped on to we realized that we can give scholarships back to follow the dreams. that's the best thing we could do in his honor. >> reporter: the victim's family is waiting for their next day in court amid potentially troubling revelation against the coworker accused of murdering the university of idaho students in a court filing last week, prosecutors disclosed that one of the officers on the case has been the subject of an internal affairs investigation. with the next hearing still months away, the family sowing seeds to ensure their son's legacy will flourish. >> i miss him. i miss him a lot. >> that kid has touched my life if we touch as many lives as he did in his 20 years, this world would be a better place. he was an amazing kid. >> reporter: such an incredible family

the chapins aren't able to speak about the case because of a gag order imposed by the judge he said through a former lawyer that he thinks he will be exonerated his next hearing is set for the last week in june. guys >> what a special way to honor ethan, though. gadi, thank you. big announcement from nasa this morning the space agency set to name the astronauts who will be part of its first return mission to the moon since apollo 50 years ago the artemis will orbit the moon. a lunar landing would follow a couple years later tom costello is all over this for us hi, tom. good morning >> reporter: this is a huge deal this is what nasa has been focused on it's all about going to the moon on artemis, as we discussed, but also, the crew capsule right here behind me so today we're going to learn the names of the four astronauts who are going to be selected for this first trip. they include three americans and one canadian so the americans are going to be chosen from a pool of 41

eligible americans and then the canadian from 4 canadian astronauts who are eligible. if all goes as planned, the trip would start in late november of 2024, possibly, possibly traveling 250,000 miles from earth, orbiting the moon and if that happens, that would be the furthest human to ever traveled from earth. so it is a very big deal indeed. testing now all of the systems that are part of the artemis crew, capsule and rocket system. remember, back in november, we were talking about artemis 1 that was the uncrewed ship to test out how well artemis performed. eventually it splashed down off the coast of san diego it went beautifully. no issues they're aware of at least not at this point so now artemis 2 four humans onboard lifting off in late november 2024. if all goes as planned, artemis

3 will land on the moon. by the end of the decade nasa already said that will include four astronauts including a woman and a person of color landing on the moon for the first time ever. oh, by the way, it was 1972 when humans were last on the moon 50 plus years ago. so finally humans are now headed back to the moon starting with this orbit, then landing late in the decade this is all about getting ready to go to mars hopefully in 2030. so with this lunar base station with artemis, they have a base on the moon, a space station and on to mars eventually it all starts now. you can imagine these astronauts, they know who they are. can you imagine how excited they are? the official announcement today. who is going back to orbit the moon. >> okay. so the astronauts know they have been picked. they're not on like click and refresh on nasa.com. or something

right? they know. but we all get to find out today. >> right, exactly. >> tom, thank you very much. yeah, cool. >> no one gets more excited about space than tom costello. no one. >> i love it. coming up, we will show you not one, but two star studded april fool's pranks that you probably missed over the weekend. first, guys, actress, author and director justine bateman is here we will talk about her headline making comments on women and aging. why she thinks we would all be a lot happier if we would just forgetet about ourur faces comiming up righght after ththis spend d category.. hihi. ♪♪♪ you dodon't have t to keep ts on rototating catetegories. thisis is the ononly rotating i care abobout. ... or a activate ananythig toto earn. thisis is the ononly rotating i care abobout. yourur cash backck automaticy adjujusts for yoyou. cacan i get a a cucumber w wa? yourur cash backck automaticy adjujusts for yoyou. earn 5% % cash backk that aututomaticallyly adjus yourur cash backck automaticy adjujusts for yoyou. to your top eligible spend category, up to $500 spent each billing cycle withth the citi custom ca℠s card. i love i it...

we are back with a "today" exclusive and a powerful new conversation about women and aging ignited by justine bateman. >> she of course shot to fame in the '80s playing mallory on "family ties." she has gone on to a successful career as writer, director and author. >> but it is a recent interview that has her firing back in an online discussion about her looks. take a peek. >> well, when you say, is there beauty in aging, aren't you really saying, do you think it's possible for other people to find aging beautiful and, like, i just don't give a [ bleep ]. like, i think i look rad i think my face represents who i am i like it.

and so, that's basically the end of the road. >> there you go! okay you hit a nerve, girl. you hit a nerve. you have a lot of women saying amen i mean, to me, it seems like confidence when you said, i look rad. you're like, i love me i love every part of me. i love the way i'm aging and changing is it really about confidence? >> well, i think it's really about fear because i think that everybody has a completion to this sentence i'm afraid if people think i look old then therefore. for people it is different things some people they will never get a job or no one will listen to them or whatever and that fear -- my position is that fear existed before your face started changing. so it is an opportunity to take care of that fear so it is not leading you around by the nose and making you make other decisions that are not you, taking you off track. >> you have been an activist about this for while. you wrote a book >> i am not an activist.

>> what are you? >> i got myself on the other side of what that fear was for me in particular, and i just am sharing what worked for me there is lots of ways to get there. but for anyone that wants to get free -- >> that's what i want to ask you about because it was a journey for you, too it started with a google search. can you tell everybody about that >> when i was writing my book, "fame," the hijacking of reality, yeah. i had to find some incident that had happened with me so i did this search and then -- in that book there is a chapter where people want to see what came up for me, what that process was when i got to the other side of it, i thought, what is it about society as a whole how do people get these ideas that a woman's face is broken? and has to be fixed. so the book "face" is about 47 short stories about some of the roots of the beliefs >> it resonated with me because i remember reading a comment once on social media that's like, what happened to you

and i wrote back, i aged. >> yeah, yeah. >> that's what happened to me. >> yeah, life happened. >> i aged. >> how do you like -- >> what does that even mean? >> i know! >> i don't know. i'm a more successful and experienced, you know, host of a national television show that's what happened to me >> yeah. >> what have you been doing? like, what is that even supposed to mean? >> it's ridiculous i do agree >> totally also, that person that's telling you what they think of themselves. >> yeah. yes. >> when they look in the mirror, that's what they say about themselves they're telling you about themselves they're not telling you about you. >> i think that's interesting. so how, even though we know these things and we think they're silly and ridiculous and they are talking about themselves, et cetera, sometimes it is still hard to protect your heart from things like that, even if it comes from a meanie or from somebody else. how do you do that >> it comes from fear. not to put you on the spot, but when they said, what happened to

you. it's like, when i had that same situation, right they said horrible things. in fact, there's -- i won't get into it. >> what it is? >> i did a -- the fears that come up. so whatever fears come up. like if somebody says, wow, you have really aged for the person who is being told that, if they go, okay, i'm afraid then, therefore, "x" is going to happen. >> right i'm going to lose my job i'm going to lose my mate. >> what if they journaled or spoke to their therapist or best friend about that particular fear because it doesn't have anything to do -- the opportunities in life are still going to come to you regardless of your gender, your height, your skin color, the state and age of your skin your life doesn't care about any about that the only person that will x you out of those opportunities is you. you are going to say, i can't. i'm too old or, no, i don't look right. that's not how life works.

>> you know what i keep looking at kids who are young in their 20s, and they're all trying to change what is already youthful and beautiful anyway how do you speak to that group of people who are somehow trying to change? >> i think they are trying to avoid -- i don't even think they're trying to avoid looking older. i think they're trying to avoid feeling like how these older people are representing their feelings they see all these older people going, oh, i've got to change this i've got to change that. i'm so afraid. i'm so afraid. i think the younger women are going, i don't want to feel that i don't want to feel terrified my face is growing older i'm looking at people like isabelle barrett and all this. i was like, i can't wait still isabelle i think is awesome. but i was like, i can't wait to look like that. >> you felt like that. >> i couldn't wait to look like

how i -- i couldn't wait to be somewhat similar to what i was getting from that. you know they were just rad, right? >> cool. >> so now i'm like -- anyway, it is an inside job and i would say to any young woman, like, you're being lied to who is making money off of this? >> uh-huh. >> you're being lied to. and you're being tricked off your path. >> uh-huh. >> your path is -- you have some awesome things coming your way just stay on your path and just ride out whatever fears come up in you about, i'm afraid if people think i look old, then therefore, fill in the blank write about that deal with that this isn't the thing. >> you were on "60 minutes australia" and you got a dm. from some -- >> yes i got a dm it was from this woman, australian woman, i assume, who said i never realized what an impact this conversation was having on younger women, she said, until my daughter came in

from the other room and said, hey, did you guys see that her 16-year-old daughter she said it was great. now i'm not afraid of getting old. i was like, oh, my god if it's one person that's not -- it's silly i've never been smarter. i've never had more connections. you know, it is like when you are younger, you know the doorman of the nightclub when you are older, you know the person that owns the building. you know what i mean >> we think everything great happens after your 50s. >> justine, thank you. really cool. >> thank you for starting the conversation. >> you will keep it going in the third hour. >> okay, cool. >> i wish it was the fourth hour, too. it's windy and cold, but nice and sunny. our high temperature today will

reach 55 degrees. mostly upper 50s for today. and the next few days it's going to still be chilly, cold mornings and the sunshine does continue, but we only >> thank you, al straight ahead, they are painting the town pink, starting with studio 1a can't wait to chat with the stars of the grease prequel, "the pink ladies." that's next. good morning. i am marcus washington.

it an omage to "grease," you would say what what's the relationship with the movies we all love >> it is a love letter the original film. our creator said those films are the mother ship of our series and we take inspiration to them, but we're really doing our own thing here. >> what is the story that the pink ladies are telling now? what are we going to learn about them >> our "grease" was set four years before the original movie. our origin story is these pink ladies fit in with the greater california at the time and we all find each other for the same set we all find a way to love each other and accept each other while it is hard to be a young person in high school at the time. >> tricia, tell me about -- all of you this is like you're theater kids you were theater kids. you have a lot of experience but this is like -- this is it this is your first big break what did you feel like when you got the pink ladies? >> it was wild to be honest, i thought it was

another test i thought it was another audition. >> they tricked you. tell us that story. >> i think, for me at least, they told us it was another audition i was at my job doing the universal studio thing i was doing the harry potter thing, and i had nowhere to go. >> you were dressed as hermoine granger. i'm looked around like, i have to take this call. i thought it was a joke, actually it's like, there is no way this is happening for us. we never dreamed this could happen that we could be pink ladies that pink ladies could look like us it's surreal and so magical. so honored >> so they told all of you guys, oh, it is one more audition and they said, surprise, you have the part we're not auditioning you. we're your producers what was it like to bond the pink ladies have that connection but you all were strangers. how did you get together and get

to know each other? >> the first time we actually met was during a fire alarm at our hotel. yeah we all were in pjs we came downstairs like oh, oh but we actually had our first day of filming we did this number where we all have to stand on a bed and it rises and all this stuff happens. we got to hold hands i think that was our really like bonding moment where we were like, is this happening? >> talk about throwing you into it before any line of dialogue is shot, you guys are out there singing those songs. what is that like? >> yeah. it is called "different this year" reprised i think we were going through what our characters were going through. it reaches through the screen. it was pretty surreal. with the song being called "different this year," we all realized it might be different this year. it was a perfect situation. >> what does it feel like to be in this moment where you are

part of a huge show, something that people are so excited about? it's such a beloved franchise. and here you all are on the cusp of your big break. >> it's amazing. i can speak for all of us when i say we grew up watching this film knowing the music. loving the characters and the story. and then to be able to come in our big moment for ourselves as actors and people to be a part of the story and tell new ones and build on what the amazing actors olivia and all of them did back then to be able to recreate that and bring something new and fresh and new music and new dance moves and new characters is a dream. >> sign me up. i have always wanted to be a pink lady. i know i'm a little old now, but i would like to join the crew. we're so proud of you. happy for you. thank you so much. we're back with more in the fourth hour. we look forward to that. you can stream "grease: rise of the pink ladies" this friday this thursday on paramount plus. al, over to you. >> i don't know. i see a cameo. >> the old pink lady, yeah.

we're back with a big success story directly from our "start today" facebook group. >> walking literally saved the life of one of our members we will talk to pamela in just a moment but first, nbc's kristen dahlgren has her story. >> good morning. 140,000 of you have now joined us to lead healthier lives for pamela, it is exactly what she needed to transform her life by putting down the wine and picking up walking ♪ pamela started to drink socially at around 40 >> just to kind of hang out with my friends it was just a time to kind of get together and have a good time. >> reporter: a busy mom to two boys, the wine seemed to help

her unwind. >> i realized i just need a glass of wine to settle myself down so i felt like i could be relaxed enough to help them do their homework. >> reporter: soon one glass turned into two. at what point did you realize it was a problem? >> i don't know, honestly, when it started a year ago it was up to about two bottles a night. it was when i'm happy i need a glass. when i'm sad, i need a glass it was the first thing i thought of i needed to reach to. >> reporter: she noticed her weight creeping up and how much weight did you gain >> probably over the last three, four years i had gained 70 pounds. >> reporter: she couldn't do the things she enjoyed like surfing with her family. >> i couldn't fit in my wet suit anymore, and it was very embarrassing. >> reporter: but it was more than embarrassment pamela's doctor was concerned. >> my doctor had told me that i was at the beginning stages of liver failure. >> reporter: she was told she

wouldn't be considered for a liver transplant because he was an alcoholic >> yeah. i was thinking i'm just a mom who drinks wine. how in the world could i be an alcoholic? the doctor gave me a choice. it's wine or your life. >> reporter: even then pamela didn't want to give it up until one day she almost went too far. >> i went out drinking with friends, and i was ready to get in my car and drive. and i can't believe i was willing to do it and it scared me >> on a mission to improve their health we've got fitness trainer, stephanie. >> reporter: it was then she saw a segment on the "today" show that would change her life. >> they were talking about "start today," and i thought this is what i need. >> reporter: she joined the facebook group. >> and i thought, okay, i'm just going to share a little bit. and even about my sobriety and the words of encouragement i got helped me. >> reporter: instead of reaching for that glass of wine, pamela and her husband began to walk. at first, not far.

>> so it started with that walk around the block how much are you walking now >> we walk three to three and a half miles a day. >> reporter: she also hasn't had a glass of wine. how much weight have you lost? >> as of today, 53 pounds. >> reporter: she added in an exercise bike. now pamela is the inspiration for others, wanting to start today to live a healthier life. >> i was on the verge of liver failure. and now it's like i can't get -- wait to get out there and walk every day i thrive on it >> this is such a special community with thousands of people posting their victories, their encouragement on the "start today" facebook page. pamela says that was really a key to her success, guys. >> thank you and we also want to mention, you can join the "start today" community by scanning our qr code we will have a little more on that in a moment.

>> right now we're so happy because we have pamela with us what an inspiring story. wow! i think everyone has their moment that you can put your finger on when everything is going to change. will you remind us about that moment where you turned on the show and you saw this thing and you decided like, it's kind of now or never >> i mean, it's crazy. i realized that this is the time i need to do this. this is the time that i need to change my life and i need to live a healthier time. >> you had to hit rock bottom, it sounds like a lot of people go down the slope. if you don't hit bottom but you had to hit bottom when you wer almost about to go drinking and driving. >> absolutely. >> and then you decided, which is really brave, you shared this on our facebook page what made you decide to do that? >> i have been just reading other people's posts, and they were sharing their struggles and their triumphs, and i felt safe. i didn't know these people and i think just not knowing these people kind of made it

safe for me to want to share. >> it's so weird because on social media there are so few places where if you post something, you don't get bombarded with meanies just because of the way life is but this is a safe place now, to go from where you were on day one to where you are today, you said you dropped 53 pounds you feel better. how has that process been for you? >> it's been fantastic it's like i feel more powerful i feel better about myself i feel like i can get up in the morning and conquer just life. i feel better. >> you have that look. >> and i know stephanie is part of our walk "today." she's our leader we thought she would like to meet you so, steph, come out. >> no way! >> yes. >> oh, my gosh hi >> congratulations. i'm so proud of you. >> this is beautiful thank you. ohmy god. >> i'm proud of you. >> that's awesome.

>> yes. >> pamela's story is so inspirational. >> you know, we can all relate to pamela's story because we all have an unhealthy habit or two that we're looking to kick to the curb pamela just happened to be going for that glass of wine after work some of us go home and raid the cupboards. but instead of kicking that habit to the curb, pamela picked up a healthier habit it is what i like to call a transition walk. you transitioned from your chaotic, stressful day into a healthier, happier, more relaxing evening that you are proud of and it helps you reach your goal. so i think we can all relate to that, not only kicking the habit but replacing it with a healthier one. >> pamela, we have a surprise. you will be back in our third hour to work out with your husband. >> yes >> what an inspiration you really just showed that it can be done. congratulations. that's great we're so happy for you. >> scan that qr code o head today.com to start your
