on larry king live the former child star on her scandal is a new show it's a nighttime soap but it's very very smartly done on her geeky interests whatever you dream up you don't have to go to a studio head and try to convince him why you need the big chase scene or big you know the hard part seem to think that's really the word and it's artistry and the sex tape that everybody's to are going to bow people are more likely to click on a link that says sex tape than serious news issues all next on larry king. welcome to larry king knowledge personal guess the list of oh i'll be at bruges author designer former child star who began her career with roles in annie and

who's the boss currently stars in the hit a.b.c. show mistresses new host of the third season of project runway all stars it's on lifetime october twenty fourth she's also penned a graphic novel called activist what do you do in your spare time. yeah i've been a little busy have you always been this multivariate person no i'll tell you what happened. after i had my child which was two years ago. i had the courage to go after these things these ideas that i had in my head one up before the trial there is just something about motherhood that was very empowering . and before that i felt just more scared about. going out on a lamb or taking a risk. and after i had my kid i felt pretty invincible what do you have. i have

a little boy what's his name milo milo yeah change oil right moving born change my life for sure it's by far the. the the most amazing and yet the scariest thing i have ever done and get into lots of things will dodge of and yes i'm a clinch any day. well when we've got a woman that will weather the playoffs through other games had season tickets for ten years right by you actually and i gave them up right before the season so now i feel like i was bad luck. and now i'm superstitious about not getting season tickets thank you started your own fashion line devoted to fan gear for women it was ok so much is cool touch seven years ago i was sitting in my dr seats and it got a little cold as it can get at the ravine and i went into the stadium shop and i tried to find you know something warm that i could buy and everything was so. i

mean just awful. and it was paying unflattering cuts and i went back i didn't buy anything because i knew that i would only wear it that one night just to stay warm i went back to my seats and i looked around and i saw a lot of women and they were in pink and i thought surely they don't want to be in pink right i mean they're two hundred spans they want to be flying the colors. so i came up with this idea to do to design a line of female fashion apparel and i pitched the idea to major league baseball properties which was one of the most intimidating things ever done. and i don't think they really couldn't grasp the concept of what i wanted to do fashion wise because the pink actually did sell but i think. they responded to what a fan i was of the game and they gave me the licensing and they had the exclusive

for the first year and then the second season. after the exclusivity was up we had a license thing to n.h.l. and f l and be a. dollar game it's just fashion forward founded apparel so it's jackets hoodies sweat suits cute t. shirts all made of values there yet all the stadiums throughout the country and all the dotcoms all made out of quality fabrics so you are a mortgage you're an entrepreneur it was an idea that was built on necessity but it's sort first a bad mistresses. and so it kind of weird is a hit show where the three of them. there's four there's four friends where we're all women there's actually almost. no mistresses after the first episode so the first episode there's one character that's a mistress it's really about people that are dealing with different forms of

infidelity in their lives and i don't shop it's a night time soap but it's very very smartly done it's kind of like as if a soap could could go by the thriller format there's a lot of twists and turns and so it's structured court obviously events do it well it's resonated with people for sure and i think that that's because of the friendship and the chemistry between the four of us you know i think that on t.v. a long time now and i think the only thing that i have learned is that people will tune in to characters and chemistry between the characters and it doesn't really matter what the show's about as long as the show has that you know charmed people didn't tune into charmed to see what demon we were vanquishing that week they tuned in to see the relationship between the sisters. so i think that that's the key to

a successful show and i think that's what made mr some success as almost everything you've done worked. no oh god i've been in a bomb you know after charmed ok so who's the boss and then i did melrose place and then i did charmed so was it all hits very successful when charmed was cancelled i did and mistresses was the fifth pilot i did between charmed and mistresses that actually wound up working so i waited for that didn't get on the air three that didn't get on the air and then i did one that got on the air for four episodes a wonderful sitcom called romantically challenge that i think four people watched. as india and then mistresses mistresses worked their new those pilots. did you think this can't miss oh all of them yeah that's what you do you take them on yeah but you know it's such. such lightning in a bottle so many of them have to go right for an audience in where the place should

absolutely the competition adultery used to be quiet people you know it was a crime scene along you hardly even hear the word mention right and well it's somewhat become acceptable if they go and there's the question is it acceptable. i don't think that it's acceptable in my personal moral barometer i do not think but i do think socially there you know once once people are coming up with with cute little slang terms for things like side woman or side chick which is what they call this is now. yeah. you think anthony wiener is an adulterer absolutely you know there is no one to charge with. yeah i think that he has betrayed a lot of people's trust and that's really what it means betrayal yeah because i own a physical person with him oh no no i don't and i think in this day and age it's

it's all the same everything bleeds into the same intent what is this graphic novel . it's called the hacktivists and basically it was an idea that i had. during the uprising in iran really i became very interested i love twitter i became very interested in how social networks were helping. these movements and how they were enabling you know groups to come together and just kind of empowering people to get their voice heard. and then i became slightly obsessed with the hacking organization. anonymous. and what they were doing from behind the computer screen and how you know they were they were fighting for good what they think is as good. and i thought to myself what if the entire. anonymous organization was actually just one man that was doing

this entire thing from behind his computer she bit like a super hacker yeah. but he only hacked for what he believed in and so that's sort of were were came from it's called the revenues where are you going to be released digitally on october. is our publishing company and they've been really great i don't know that there's another company that would have done this because i'm a comic book or she has a graphic novel and yeah. it's a good movie too maybe but i think you know if this this guy is is is interesting this character is interesting because he has no superpowers he doesn't fly he's just a man trying to make a difference in the world is our mutual friend jack dorsey an inspiration from he is yeah he's quite a guy he's pretty special yeah and i've known him for years he's my son's godfather

and when i was formulating this idea i thought who who do i know that is a this brilliant that could actually do something like this and he has the compassion and the activism in his blood that that would that would you know have the heart to do something like this not only just the brains and jack dorsey was the only person that came to mind so my title character is based on jack and what's really interesting. can't tell he can't tell me i can't tell you it'll be out not told but right ok for his name is jack maybe again. good guy he is of special special leave making his whole social media boom it's sharing stories information. i think it is fascinating and i knowing jack i often wonder how crazy it must be for that man to sit at home and watch legitimate news channels and see how tags on the bottom and people's

twitter handles and. it's become such a part of our daily existence and that's so crazy for him to just see how it's you see any dangers that. i think that there is a version of cyber bullying that's very dangerous i think that that because people think that there are not a mess behind you know they hide behind their computer screen that they can say whatever they want and sometimes those things are very hurtful to you a fan of comic books i am i am i think i gave it up but then you did however have a brick i have a brother that's younger than i am that is is really really into comic books and i think that i am a fan of anything that that really expresses artistry and creativity

and when so much of our entertainment industry which really should be about artistry and creativity isn't about that. it's refreshing to just pick up and that's part of this process of developing the half of us that has been so amazing is it's whatever you dream up. and that's so awesome you know you don't have to go to a studio head and you know try to convince him why you need the big chase scene or big you know heart to heart scene you're not taking notes from anybody it's just it's just something that's really pure in its artistry. you were a child star way. or lot of child stars grow up with enormous hang ups terrible problems but to be old movie days how did you escape that. i can i can say honestly that my family always instilled what was important in

life they always had their own lives so their lives didn't revolve around my success. and my parents have a very very stable marriage and i think when you are surrounded by that type of stability. you're going to be ok no matter what you choose and to of that fact i also feel that these kids that that grow up in the business that don't have that they want to struggle no matter what they did. in life and i think that that is the truth i mean i think that you know these young starlets that choose the wrong path would have chosen the wrong path no matter what they did that it was all talk about the sex tape that has everyone talking about snatched.

it was a relief very hard to take i. want to get along here a lot have you ever had sex with the target there are no please please. please. please. please please please please. please. please. please please please please please. please. please. a little.

big fact that. everybody's going to do is go digital the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy shred albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and our crest of a girl we've been a hydrogen ally handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers one still just my job market and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem truck rational debate and a real discussion critical issues facing america you know ready to join the movement then walk in the big picture.

we're back with those of mama the multi-talented alyssa milano you keep in touch with who's the boss yeah it was absolutely what about tony danza stay close to him we did stay close. you know it was one of those experiences that no matter how long we go without talking to each other or seeing each other when we do it's like we never left whole you have much eleven to nineteen. it's me i don't need to be i do a drug yes a dad for better or for worse what was it like you have most of your life in the public where you don't know anything else with the problems i do you know i don't know any different so for me it was very normal what do you make of what's happened to give me good examples amanda bynes on lindsay will amanda i think is a very sad situation that she didn't get help earlier she clearly. and hopefully she's getting the right kind of help now but very very sad and wendy is is tragic too because you know really what i was saying before about how it all goes back to

your family and your upbringing you know she comes from a very rough home so i'm not so sure that anything would be any different for her no matter you know if she just went to college and was a normal kid with amanda i think that there is meant a mental illness that's that's going on that needs to be treated. you did in divorce what took you to africa philanthropy ollie's of the us but i lived in south africa for three months in two thousand i was there shooting a mini series that aired in europe and i only worked one day a week and i became very caught up in the political and social place that they were as a country people mazing people in the most beautiful land and i could not get over that dichotomy of like looking up and seeing you know wild zebras running on the mountain and then looking down and seeing street kids netflow on the corners and it

was it changed my life in a really profound way and when i came back to los angeles at a very difficult time assimilating the person that i was there where i volunteered in a children's hospital and i found ship versus you know the girl that drove b.m.w. in and lived in beverly hills and. it was a it was a hard balance for me and but what i realized was is that philanthropy would be a part of my life forever in two thousand and three unicef going to appointed me a goodwill ambassador. and i have been to angola with unicef two years after the peace treaty was signed when the country was in complete and total disarray. in the six months after the tsunami we did a tour of all the southern villages that were good and kosovo two years ago following in the ranks of danny kaye or greta byrne to very large inspirations for me for sure and i mean i really both very well you did all were lucky you.

i think that they were getting used to for he was the first and he was you know such an inspiration for someone to say you know what your celebrity you you need to give back we're all so blessed. and you're a baseball fan but i feel the same way about roberto clemente and what he was able to do you made a spoof sex tape for funny or die let's take a look at it and then we'll have you talk about. cares. our nation is on the brink of you have a mother in the middle east. in syria. what was that all about. mike farah who runs funny or die i called ray and he said i have this i dia and he

pitched the idea to me and i thought what an interesting social statement about where we are culturally. and i had done a couple of other videos for them that were also social statements and i thought that this kind of fit into that whole sort of thing that i do with them so i agreed to do it and really you know it's not it's not a political statement it's a social statement where you know we're in a time where people are more likely to click on a link that says sex tape than serious news issues and humanitarian issues that are going on and in the world i've done stuff for them there are a lot of fun they're fun yes for sure tell me about the breeze is it and the national sleep foundation was yes i partnered i do you are busy. i'm sleepy i partnered with for brees they have this awesome new line of sense specifically

for the bedroom it's called the sleep serenity collection this became something that was interesting to me when after i had my baby and i was trying to get him to sleep through the night and you know i'd ask his pediatrician he said the single most important thing is to have a bedtime routine. and then i thought well i don't sleep through the night and i don't have a bed i looked good i went back to work on mistresses and i really tried to implement a bedtime routine and it did help for sure so when breeze offered me this opportunity to launch this collection i thought it sort of fit in to my lifestyle and i said absolutely in the sense of delicious and the national sleep foundation has conducted you know interviews where it says that seventy percent of people that use a pleasant scent in their bedroom actually have a more pleasant sleep experience so there is some data behind it all

and they have this this really great sweepstakes that's going on where people can win their dream bedroom make over so people could go to the for brees facebook page . and learn how to sign up for the sweepstakes you but also a list with motherhood it's a daily struggle but yes i tried my best with with everything you know you have two point five million i have two point four million followers on twitter we're up there i have more than you i think by five hundred dollars and you know you endure a directly with your followers right yes and i enjoy it very much social media is part of your life right yes for sure and on that account i actually have three twitter accounts because i don't know it's weird how you know which one do you mean i use my personal account more as a content curation so if i find cool links if i want to. share you know funny videos or whatever not necessarily that i'm in but just things

that i am moved by or tickled by i will put it on my my personal account i also have the alyssa dot com account which is more of a career news and then a touch account for the clothing. as well your gig here and the love it some social media questions for you spitballs blog tweets what should she do would she do a who's the boss reunion. of the thought of it what that storyline i began it would have to be something pretty awesome but it would have to involve like samantha and her kids right tony's got to be a grandfather in their reunion. but yeah absolutely i love i love those people a lot and that experience is a special experience mrs nolan the ross six tweets what attracted you to. i love how flawed she was and i love the concept of a really good person who makes

a bad decision and. the person that seemingly has everything together and then you know with her career her ambitions but her personal life is unraveling a jersey girl of fifteen to a show all these monikers if you could do any project or play what would be who west side story maria i don't know i'm too old at this point but. i don't i don't know that that to me is is one of the most it made me want to be an actress steven burrill from facebook wants to know what were your intentions on the gag state that featured news of the syrian war. my intentions were to make a social statement. of where we are and and where you may do serious levels situation. i mean you know i think this i hope might resolve it i hope this u.n.

. yeah i hope it will resolve it i feel that you know nobody is for war or pro war i don't that's insane for war i would be insane to be pro-war for sure but when you see the video that's coming out of there and you see people foaming at the mouth and suffering i don't think that you can turn a blind eye that doesn't mean we shouldn't go through every single step. to try to end it peacefully and to come to some kind of resolution but. we have you have to help you have to help the country i'm just you know course holly mcgarry on face book as what will your career goals twenty five years ago and have you achieved them. it's a good question my career goals twenty five years ago was just to keep acting i think. you know you know when you're a child actor it's you're not always accepted as an adult actor so to me it was

a broad transition a hard transition for sure. so i really just wanted to keep working and that has definitely changed i think when you have a child things dramatic life ok we play a game of if you only knew the motive for this boy you just yes it was his name michael mcconnell where was it start my own oh i'm from brooklyn. born in bensonhurst and then we moved to where birds are like i don't even know i was even during the parkway yeah my mom had a store on eighty six straight and usually more i was there was my corner she had a star called me envy. maybe the n b yeah and my aunt lives in bay ridge so he would have gone to i forget high school that's where i work if i didn't. so you ever find out what happened them. now. gadgets
