destroy that's. that's really very. dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sell their bodies on the street many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles there are going to come out as he officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trade. ok folks dennis miller here and we're going to talk to stephanie beatrice today she's from brooklyn 99 and she's very excited got a big film coming up in june in the heights and that's coming right up right after

this on dennis miller plus one. welcome to dennis miller plus one we're joined by the delightful we've had time to chat as they've set up the lights and cameras stephanie beatrice and she's joining me on the show today she's an arjun tinian american actress best known for her role as detective rosa diaz in the n.b.c. now good to see them over on the mother ship comedy series brooklyn 99 with andy samberg she's currently starring in season 7 which like i said it shifted over from i believe was fox at one point to n.b.c. stephanie will also appear this must be exciting in the feature film adaptation of the broadway musical in the heights which i believe was the the miranda kids big

one before before we began to get all the hamiltons on hamilton and that comes out on june 26th for the welcome to the show but i think in the heights he probably did not get as much vegas as he showed up because 1st time through yeah they don't give you the point is they give you tony award you know but then and now it's now it's now and now they haven't even really yeah hey it sounds like you're a woman and for we must be a good time in your life it is there is something coming out and and the in the shows in what season 7 yeah is that it is airing now we'll start to see season 8 it's the end of the summer it's absolutely out is a long life for a show and i remember i think early on. on when you're trying to get a pulse even seinfeld had to get a pulse at the beginning i think they won the golden globe the mayor something like that that was like paddles boom that was that was right out the gate we won the

golden globe and he won for best actor best actor in a comedy it's like oh we're doing we're doing all right and then you know t.v. is a it's a fickle pickle world it's even more fickle now that i think it used to be so well you have your head on straight just saying that he had their kids out there think it's going to go forever and i know he has saved all that money immediately as soon as his 1st paycheck was like how do i set up a set fire a what's what do i do with all of this how do i save it because i knew you know i knew that it's like it's you literally won the lottery well good planning in the last 7 seasons and andy by the way i just have to say for my. age old friends but for my friend and fellow us how alumni just think of the biggest say over at the. sundance festival he seen that film my best friends practically live next to me their son max bar because 1st time director he directed to run and. he says i'm taking him up to sundance good luck max and then

i'm reading in a favor because it's a sale every 7 point absolutely fabulous it's that it's such a good good good movie all the parts of it i think work well the shows the show sings now you can see like you know at the beginning everybody's but it's hand in glove and now it's very it's truly an ensemble show truly an ensemble you know and he obviously leads it but the ensemble that he's built and created around him and the environment that he's created at work is it's really like it's dreamy it's dreamy for an actor because i think i've definitely heard horror stories from other shows and i don't i am very grateful that that's not the case on our show well tell us about office tell us what rosa de eunice she's about she's like i think. when i originally kind of built her she was built on that sort of. stereotype piece for very tough tough girl and in an office you know leather jackets and dark clothes

and mysterious backgrounds but i think also when i was building that character i thought this is somebody who doesn't allow a lot of people into her personal life and she's strategically choosing to allowed these friendships to blossom and grow over time. she's. you know i've always played her as a queer character and then around season 5 dan gore our creator. suggested to me that what would you think if we i want to be very sensitive about this what would you think if we decided to make rose a queer maybe even bisexual like you are and i was all for it and so that was very that was an exciting development especially with that character because she is so. closeted in her like. relation to in the bush years when i thought your head was the 1st 4 seasons you were playing there were no i absolutely was there's lines there's like little clues and you're in there i think i think the way that i

carried myself i think the relationship that i had with chelsea peretti was you know an atty i think that was a very out of all of the characters on the show i think that that was the most flirtatious and fun i was always playing her as somebody who if you would ask her point blank like who do you date she said anybody that i want to you know i always have in the back of my head which i hope is also why they have a daughter as a writer you've led them to the yeah. i'm intrigued obviously i'm older and 66 when i was young it would have been insult to say queer now i know it's a sign of the end of the l g b t q yes and i hear you saying and i know it's a brave new world about being the old scold but i'm wondering when does the how did i would go you know i think it's really a slow gradual thing i think it's been a sort of gradual reclaiming of a word that was once really ugly and used as a slur and there are so many slurs in the gay community. but that one but clearly

are sort of been it's just beautiful like almost like an umbrella term for many different types of people right and it can even include people that don't necessarily find themselves. sort of. clearly attaching themselves to one identity it can it can serve as many things and it and it sort of has become this like shorthand phrase for. this family of many identities is an amazing. term that brings people together about a boy that it when i was horrible in my twenty's though we have a fight yeah for 100 percent 100 percent no under the umbrella as you say of queer is your character. in l g b t. b b c's beer the bisexual sort of you know i think groom is

your oyster yes he does kind of i mean it's really like the world because i don't think she's interested in not really getting work yeah people are you know enough about her she's changed apartments many times because her costars are you know. fellow detectives in over her house and she's constantly sort of changing identities and surprising them making and surprising me sometimes sometimes the stuff that i learn about her on set is like room ok puzzle to put together when i got in the way but yeah it is fun it's fun because it's also a wake. i just watch so much t.v. you know which like there's a school mysterious dude character that you know no one really understands why he's such a bad just sort of is and it's the law of the land you don't ask questions and i think having more female characters like that rosa diaz is like the sergio leone strangway where she walks away from the coffee machine and you just hear. that good and that is exactly i'm

a big argentina guy you were born there but i think you move baby like right to texas and to 2 and a half 3 well i'm telling you you must i don't know if you've been back but you must get down there sometime because it's such a lovely joint it's unbelievably beautiful the pre-board so sweet you the food's just monstrous and the topography you walk around and you just cannot believe lovely it is so i hope you get back there when you are the biggest star in the world there and enter and through town in one of those confetti for i didn't get to go to columbia this past december and when your parents is columbia my dad's called me and i was amazing and beautiful and strange and very different i just kept thinking about you know what would life have been like if i had grown up here instead of in the u.s. your papa must be so proud of you very proud very very proud yeah they're extremely embarrassing me so how what were you raised in the relative well paul

revere only you know yeah i think i don't think that i was really aware. of. how leg how much was being made with how little we actually had until like may be maybe middle school which for me was like 3rd 4th grade and then starting to do sleepovers the kids houses and realizing that opie people have backyards and people have their own room and you know and then the gap felt the gaps are getting wider and wider as i moved into junior high and high school you know in high school it was like kids were getting cars and my family was struggling to maintain the car that they had you know it was like everything was. nothing felt impossible but everything felt. a little bit scarce was in. the heart of love although i think so i mean it was i think my parents like they did the best they could with what they had available to them at the time you know like

my mom came to the u.s. when she was like 22 my dad was like you know i think his sense of identity was very like. there was a lot of upheaval there because like they were young they were babies and they were immigrants and you know like they look at it and they sounded like to be you know still today were dealing with this idea of like who is allowed to be american and what did they look like and what did they sound like and for my family it was a major struggle to sort of try to you know whether it was good or bad but like tried to assimilate my sister and i so that we were sort of protected from that what they felt like maybe wasn't on slide when dad was it's like a very typical immigrants from my dad was a chemical engineer or smart guy and what he was able to do in the u.s. was drive trucks and be a chauffeur and people treated him as such you know and so like so this day when i when i'm you know because now i have this job where like sometimes i get driven

around but people sometimes i'm in a transport van with someone that like no one is polite to and i think it makes me think about my dad all the time it's like how many times you have to deal with people just being him knowing that he's this like kind of a really smart intelligent wonderful dude but doing what he had to do to keep his family like and his hearing we're all for your babies is a big huge you know i mean there's a chemical engineer and there were like there's drug how do we do and i'm telling you how do we make this you know the man sitting there and you come in at the end of the day. i know you didn't for me oh i mean he's the band that played all through whatever it was or he's like oh you know you are my american dream let me cry about it yeah because like it's true he did they did everything possible for my . to be able to do anything that we wanted to and now it's happening beautiful was part of the simulation the arts when did you 1st get in the article that you believe her what were the arts were like what can we do my mom is really smart

she's like what can we do with them that's free and so we would go to all the museums around houston has amazing museums and has amazing arts in general we go to the ballet when we could you know when they'd have like free events we'd go to all of the museums when we could we would go to the library constantly and my mom would drive us to the good libraries you know like the good neighborhood libraries we had . at any given moment on our fireplace there were 30 to 40 books that my sister and i had taken out of the library yeah it was like constantly like consuming as much as we could at all times that wasn't just t.v. it was all art from all angles where your car must be good because you've got a great place in the baby line when you think about where some people get at yes not always laundry to the lab no if it's 30 books on the fireplace of an old man this is a better get on with it is going to feed. you had the mother load after the break we have stephanie some rapid fire questions with our version of an oral rorschach

to. go. a little bit. d.n.a. and somewhere over. i'm not sure there is such a thing no i'm sure you look better now than when you had their. say so but i went . right. i'd. like.

to. hey folks welcome back to mr miller. my guest is actress stephanie beatrice and we have a new season of brooklyn 99 coming up but also a little further down the road just out there where you can see it and get excited about it the feature film adaptation of the great musical it seems to me 1015 years ago this thing just sold out every night in the heights to tell the viewers about the project we're excited to be a part of it yeah all of you big hopefully big beautiful. of the old sort of hollywood musicals of past times it's beautiful it's very big we shot most of it in washington heights in new york over the past over the last another

100 inspectors they're pretty good now yeah i mean we were we basically did like a boot camp of dancing with these all these professional dancers from new york who were incredibly talented and you know the 7 sort of like actors were in the back sort of trying to do what we can and after about a month we looked pretty good you know this sort of stuck a sin like i think it was probably one of the best dancers that i want to answer was dancer names i mean she's she's a brilliant actress and she picked up those answers like it was like 2nd nature the rest of us i think were struggling but they look pretty good on them now tell us about the story it's in washington yes yes and it was written by a little manual more and it was the 1st musical that he wrote and it was sort of the 1st musical that sort of integrated. rap and hip hop into the musical theater library in the way that felt i think i saw the 1st very 1st production of in new

york and i thought it just integrated it so beautifully and did all the things that you want a musical to do you know it's like got all the numbers that you're expecting but in this very new very fresh way still feels really fresh he's changed he and the writer of the book u.r.l. agree a huge he's she's a brilliant writer and they sort of changed just enough of the main book to make it feel very very now but the songs are still what they were and it's just you know it's a beautiful story about basically a block in washington heights a guy name is not be who owns a bodega on the mourner that's right across the street from a beauty salon and the girl that he's in love with works there and so he can stare out the window and look at her cutting hair every day she meanwhile sort of dreams of a bigger life beyond the body oh and then there's a couple other friends that are sort of in the mix one of whom is a young woman who's a student at stanford who grew up in the barrios and is now sort of thrust into

this world and much like. the difference of the way that she grew up in the kids around her it's very stark and a kid in the neighborhood named bennie who's sort of part of the neighborhood but also maybe slightly outside of a young black man but he has a deep ties to this neighborhood he works for. a car service in the neighborhood it's like maybe slowly starting to like lose its footing because of the world that we're living in now and we're going to look through urban launch a to be universally yes it is electric it is very urban it but it's also like the way that john john m. 2 is the director of the film and you know he sort of he came up doing the dance movies and the last big pigment he did was crazy rich asian beautiful electrico that of one is so fun and he's bringing that to this. well that's a good pedigree it's really. a big deal going to mean you know it's nice to have the day job too but it's yeah well you're

a woman in for right now i hope you're taking mental snapshots and is resigning trying i also 2 like very very wary so i'm like a people get excited i'm like yeah i did it i did i really did my part so now i just have to sort of like wait and see and i want to get too excited well and when can we look forward you know that in theaters june 2 funny 20 all right steph we're going to play our voice shaft game quick questions quick answers somebody who inspired you dolly parton beautiful i love her oh i know her a little over 40 really well she was on saturday night live so i spent with her and she was have you ever seen her tell the story watch there's a great thing we're really all gather around her for christmas to you have to watch it and she tells a tale and you know i don't want to ruin it for you ok but it's one of the sweetest thing it's a great day i and if you haven't seen country music the new ken burns thing she's a standout and i have to get her up when i have it all ready to go and very excited and what types and with songs like

a dream best songwriter of all time i think you guys would need each other up if you've met because she's such a good area soul as are you guilty pleasure reality television. in particular little island little island because they all have that sense and i just write about them all the time it's so fun it's ridiculous i must admit we all probably have watch something we should all be paying more attention to. i don't know our our. our general lack of kindness to each other i think it's more important than we think stranded on a deserted island what 3 things do you bring with you. my favorite book right now oh i guess of all time the little prince. a packet of seeds vegetable seeds and a a water purifier there is somebody is thinking right side left side of the brain you something still on your bucket list something you want to do oh yeah i mean i'd

like to see the town that i was born in an arm or a thing about it now can argentina i'd like to go for it down there kid and we're almost there and when the not really still got to schlep that i've been all the way down through the and. it is way down to the leaping off point for arctic. it's very it's a cool place the people are very cool a show you're bingeing on right now. see. i mean i've watched it i've watched it twice now through but i really adore derry girls don't know if it's fantastic irish sitcom it's like right during the troubles. it's brilliant ok that's another girl so yeah a favorite food you binge on while bingeing on dairy girl nice luxury you can't live without. good skincare that's a lot of go. and even my mum when i was young my mum used to always have you know

your little boy you love with your mum should the beautiful skin always put upon you yeah just subset sweet memories of my mom do is always take your make them up and i think adds take care of it someone from history you'd like to take to lunch oh. oh i guess oh. i don't know don't have to have an answer maybe you'd like to eat alone i mean. i mean my initial answer is literally dolly parton but i guess she's she's kind of from history but she's not gone yet is this like a that they have to be dead i did what i think that i learnt you know your art you and all the talk at once they'd zali and lastly your idea of a perfect day oh oh it would be waking up in paris in. in the springtime and walking downstairs and getting a giant croissant and coffee and then maybe walking through

a market buying food for lunch big bang and cheese and a bottle of wine and then sitting by the river and people watching while the sun went down eating the whole block of cheese maybe a couple gets to i was your perfect day my perfect and i. love that i do. we put the fact that we were going to interview up on the the world wide web is that it's called and we were inundated with questions and they were all very. you you must put a good vibe out there kids. are all sweet about chuck mcmanus on facebook. moving on from brooklyn are you at least concerned about the possibility of being typecast as the tough girl or oh yeah of course i think all actors get afraid to be typecast 1st you want that because you want everyone to think of you as that thing and then you get scared that that's going to be it forever but now i mean i think in the

heights is a very very different role i've played lots of different roles. i used to sort of jokingly say that i was a character actor trapped in ingenues body is not really an ingenue anymore but it still feels like i am like a i guess a character actor trapped in a leading ladies body so yeah i'm concerned but i guess we'll see what happens you're going to take it step by step yeah you get out of the block you know they can ok it was a tough exactly get work who knows what amazing role is going to come along but is needs a tough girl and they think i know that girl isa play rosa de yeah i'm going to say no to it yeah the long view is one thing in showbiz but at the beginning your fight . them to get paid and get iran next week and the ls are on facebook is she going to appear on modern family again stuff oh i did appear and this was their last season and i had one little hugo and i was really fun yeah. i'm from a typecast but that's that's why it was there they are so tight and not only are
