on larry king now the academy award winner anjelica used in on her famous roots i wanted to be an actress but i didn't necessarily want to work for him as a director i wanted to work for practically anyone else would be turned to penelope and that beautiful voice that will appease said you're never going to be the same person again now here penelope cruz oscar and. that's when it ends it's like being reborn in some way plus with woody you know he comes up to you and you're expecting some huge piece of directorial advice and he'll say he'll be out of here by four thirty. so all next on larry king now.

we're going to larry king our special guest the delightful talented and joe is a huge than me academy award winning actress emmy winning director and now. no doubt she'll get awards for that to let the national book award and so many memorable roles in the world turn to bums and preaches honor and the addams family to them just a few and i loved smash her book is a story lately told coming of age in ireland london and the arc of the first of angelica's two part memoirs the second book called watch will be will be published in two thousand and fourteen wired two books now you should just do it all at once well i did actually all at once i came up with about nine hundred pages and i think just this sheer force of having so much material cause my publisher nandigram to

say i think it's a better idea if we do two books it's been since we reviewed it isn't it hard to let it all out actually for me it was just the opposite i. was trepidations that first time i was a bit worried and then i thought well i'm just going to write without censorship i'm not going to. i'm not going to hold myself to any rules i was going to write it was at times painful if i was writing about painful things but i think it's so much better that if you feel. that pain than you don't feel when you're when you're writing the decision to write it how did that come about. well i guess i've been in the movie business now for over forty years and there's only so much people know about me what's funny is that i've done a lot of junkets i've talked about myself

a lot of talk about my roles but i think people don't really know a tremendous amount about my life before i came to hollywood. you lost your mother young williams yes you were seventeen yes what effect did that. well i never got over it i never go on a trip without thinking it's possible that i might not come back i never get into a car without thinking of the possibilities of what can happen i thought to live to an old age where i do not. know not that old eighty two but but not i don't consider that old anymore not what i'm looking at you know walter died in his sixty's actually of a heart in your eyes some which my father also had to have a big heart operation or do i didn't know him at all he died a year before i was born but i got to know him through the movies and i think you

do the baby that's right not for other juries gag me that's right i thought he was the little old prospector and treasure of sierra madre and then i saw dodsworth and he was something else entirely so then i realized of course my grandpa was an actor you father did a few movies too right my father did just a few yes what do you think he'd like this book. i hope so it's a little hard to tell since he was unusual and. had his own opinions and i'm sure there'd be things. that he would be interested in the book and other things probably they're not like that maybe i don't know it's a little bit hard i think actually knowing my father he was very much like my brother tony and his judgments and tommy felt that the book was fair and i think my father would have probably had the same instinct so the said symbols are already

written it is for the most part this book teaches to what age. to about twenty two before you begin acting you know i'd i'd already done a movie with my father when i was seventeen. and which was an interesting experience not a very good experience well i i wanted to be an actress but i didn't necessarily want to work for him as a director i wanted to work for practically anyone else. because i was rebellious and. bit of an obstinate teenager and i was also a school search going on by franco zeffirelli for juliet for romeo and juliet and i had been called back a couple of times and i really wanted to do that but my dad had other ideas and so i made this movie with him a walk with love and death and in vienna and it was

a it was a difficult experience i was very badly reviewed we were both very badly reviewed he was accused of nepotism and. i was accused of being on that track to him it was . francis couple i did father of three yeah when he testifies daughter right that's right and so pathetic was a fear because she took the breath to was there was there a sense in the book of clearing up things i want to want you to know this you know time thing. to a degree i don't have any bone to chew with either of my parents i very lucky in that i i was on great terms with both of them before they left the planet and i think that's terribly important. i there's nobody really that i want to point a finger at. or say you didn't understand me you should have understood me better

came up with the great title it's from a poem an irish palm about magpies magpies or black and white birds that often did go to the potato fields to pick worms they're kind of like crows black and white and and the poem goes one for sorrow two for joy three for a wedding four for a boy five for silver six for gold seven for stole a story lately told so you know when you're in the car driving along those irish roads right spotting magpies . ireland was a phenomenal place to grow up green and. under-populated if you can imagine when you left. a leavened to go to school in england and then but i didn't really leave ireland i never really left ireland and ireland still in my heart you are faced with the reality of and right really

about this of the infidelity of your parents both of them yes i did you deal with that your father love your mother had a lot of their children right they were just lover a lover they both had lovers. and. i think at the time when i first discovered. that fact it was disturbing to me but discovered about first a my father. my. keith he had a little box and his bathroom and my brothers showed me some photographs that were in the little box and. i was face shocked yes i was very shocked him and but at the same time my father's girlfriends were always wonderful and beautiful and let me try on their makeup and wear their stockings and their high heels so i like them very much about your mother's boyfriend. i like my

mother's boyfriends less because they didn't have stuck. with me. how did you deal with this your whole bow about. nine or ten. young yeah. but actually i mean i say i like them last my mother's my mother's lovers but they were there everyone was nice to me you know your own pub more religious than an older partner you wrote about him bob richardson was in his forties when i first met him and i had had barely hit my twenty's. he was an extremely gifted photographer a very sensitive very. very moving person to see is. he he had he had been suicidal in his life he'd

also been a patient of dr max jacobson who was known for putting famous people on a cocktail of drugs to feel good dr feel good and a lot of people were kind of victimized by this dr bob included. and but apart from that bob had some some serious emotional and mental problem members the love something on you so marked on you it did yes and i was unprepared for it i didn't i had no idea about mental illness i didn't know about. being bipolar or schizophrenia or any number of he was all the above he was all of the above i would imagine we'll learn more about jack nicholson in book two i have a bad it's not a new well i don't know that there's there's much about jack that people don't know

maybe not important of you jack is just one thing on him he called me before my last week on c.n.n. and i can't ever do but you know my only i really love to do the show i watch all the time but if i did the show i have to do everybody else and i don't want to do everybody else why what is he referring from the spotlight. i think it's not that he refrains from the spotlight he refrains from television and he's never done television. and that's been a personal choice the only time you'll see jack on television is that the laker game other than that he's a film actor and he's always been very he's always in the here and to that. and i think maybe it's part of his mythology is dick

not just stick but i think it's a conscious choice i don't think he wants to be in your living room apart from. if he's that at the laker game i don't know that he wants to be that friendly guy that you feel so you know. close to him on television what was it like i magine will see a lot of a lot of this step ahead of tuesday's going to be a major best so early. game name announced. that. in my all time favorite movies little thank you it was thrilling and chilling and completely intimidating and. you know you see people year after year with that oscar in their hand at every at every oscar ceremony and you think what is it about this you know we

watch this performance year after year what is it about this moment and it's because it's never happened to that person before. and. i can only say that it's you know you kind of entering delirium i remember when penelope cruz got her oscar and goldberg and tilda swinton and. oh there were a few of us on stage goldie hawn anyway we took her off backstage and we were walking down this car door and there are all of these photographs on the. side of past winners and put be turned to be in that beautiful voice of war peace and said you're never going to be the same person again now you're penelope cruz osco.

and that's what it is it's it's like being reborn and someone who would know the ridiculous thing is who announced your name. richard dreyfus and martha. marshall mason when they were very tiny i remember there were you know there was a stage. it took forever to get up there was like waiting for water it was great i guess is the great n.g.o.s are used to and maybe you would pass it from the story would be to stay with. technology innovation. developments around. the covered. the piece of the problem is terrible they come up very hard to make our

lives again a little longer there's a lot that never had sex with the earth make their lives let alone. listen to the m let's. listen. to the.

well look there's a story lately told me guess is angelica use and how did lauren bacall help well larned the call was there when when my father received the news that i was alive he was in the belgian congo and uganda making the african queen and i was just born in the sea there's lebanon hospital and right angeles exactly and the news of my birth was cable to the township of tired but and barefoot runner took off and. ran for three days through the jungle till he got to the location of the african queen where my father was directing katherine hepburn and humphrey bogart lauren bacall was there she'd been cooking for the crew and. and dad received

a telegram from the barefoot runner and and read it put it in his pocket and katie have said for god's sakes john what does it say and he said it's a girl her name is joshua so that sort of how it all started and the great girl yeah she is very she's a dear friend and. something from a story lately told ok this is the prologue all. there was a shrine in my mother's bedroom when i was growing up the built in wardrobe had a mare on the interior of both doors and a bureau inside higher than i was with a nor a of perfect bottles and small objects on the surface in the war and a wall of burlap stretched above it. pinned to the burlap was a collage of things she'd collected pictures that she'd torn out of magazines poems pomander balls of fox's tail tied with a red ribbon brooch i bought her it from woolworths that spelled mother and malakai

a photograph of on mckenna saint joan standing between the glass doors i love to look at her possessions mirrors reflecting me into infinity i was a lonely child my brother tony and i were never very close neither is children nor as adults but i was tightly bound to him we were forced to be together because we were on our own really although i knew he loved me i always felt that tony had it in for me a bed and that a year older than i he was always having to fight for what he had. we were in the middle of the irish countryside in county call way in the west of ireland and we didn't see many other kids we were tutored and my life was mostly fantasy wishing that i were catholic so that i could have a holy communion and wearing my mother's tutus on the front lawn hoping a husband would come along so that i might marry him i also spent quite a lot of time in front of the bathroom mirror nearby there was

a stack of books my favorites with the death of mina letting and the cartoons of charles adams i would pretend to be morticia addams i was drawn to her i used to pull my eyes back and see how i'd look with slanted eye lids i liked saffir lauren a lot i'd seen pictures of her and she was my ideal of female beauty at the time if you think you and the addams family can. know that. and with pencil i did yes with the paper made sharp master number two did you like writing i love writing and i was sure you have been well i've written all my life and i've i've written prologue forwards for people for other people's books but something about sitting down and writing about the things that. that you know that have affected you it's a wonderful thing it's a really lovely practice and i find that i walk my dogs the morning come home have

breakfast start writing and a basically go on till five thirty six o'clock in the evening without looking up what do you think of this age of texting. i think it's great and i think it's great that people are doing it on their machines rather than on paper and killing all those trees with nonsense you like the sense of i love to write at but i think there is room for all of it and i think. you know what i think there's a lot of of course mindless useless texting but there's always been a lot of kind of. car. i don't know my own swords your key to aging gracefully. smiling trying to retain your sense of humor i think smiling the world for me. i think we have to try. do you like acting right away like i've always loved acting i don't i'm not so

crazy about learning lines but i really like acting was it hard to noons no it's not hard to learn lines it's just boring. and sort of tedious and that's. that's the one thing about acting i'm not so crazy about but other than that i love it off did you enjoy a good television experience to a degree this show i love that i like the show very much particularly the first year when theresa rebeck was was the creator show runner i think it had a really nice narrative and i enjoyed i enjoyed the show when we all had a backstory and some great talent that's right well under full wonderful we have some social media questions yama lluvia twitter wants to know what is it like to work with woody allen and if the two were friends. it was great working with woody
