. >> actress heather donahue shot to fame after the movie's aruana farmer s. "grow girl." >> how has life changed since "the blair witch project"? >> it's become extraordinarily chaotic. >> the mockumentary was so convincing a lot people were stunned to see the stars were actually alive when they arrive at the 1999 vma awards. >> how do you sum it all up? >> amazing. >> so how'd they pull it off? well, to add realism the actors truly suffered in the wilderness. >> how filthy did i get? i had dirt under my fingernails, i had dirt in my hair, and i had bugs in my hair. >> we were the blair witch. we would have to go out at 4:00 in the morning and run around their tent and all that good stuff. it was a lot of work for everybody involved. fortunately, it seems to have paid off. >> it sure did. take this in. the filmmakers put the expenses for the movie, about $60,000, on their credit cards. it was bought for $1.1 million. >> and from "snl" to "the muppets" -- >> i think i'm ready. >> maybe the biggest tribute the hundreds of parodies "blair witch" inspired. >> it'

the donahue show rearranged the furniture, but oprah remodeled the whole house. >> there are a lot ofou say, we're in love. i remember questioning my gay friend, you mean you feel about him the way i feel about -- it's kind of a strange concept for a lot of people to accept. >> oprah was connecting with people in a way that no one had on tv before. and it was really special to see. >> did you know that for the longest time i wanted to be a fourth grade teacher because of you. >> my, i was not aware of inspiring anyone. >> i think you did exactly what teachers are supposed to do, they create a spark for learning. it's the reason i have a talk show today. >> oprah winfrey now dominates the talk show circuit, both in the ratings and popularity. >> i want to use my life as a source of lifting people up. that's what i want to do. that's what i do every day on my show. we get accused of being tabloid television and sensational and so forth, but what i really think we do more than anything else is we serve as a voice to a lot of people who felt, up until perhaps my show or some of the others

commercial square footage, there is a footage within block one which is not the corner of ennis and donahue. and that schematic design is in process. we don't know what will be in the ground floor. the majority of the amenities like the grocery store, we don't have one in right now. there is also not the square footage and phase one there possibly could be something all, but we don't know in block one yet because it's really early, we haven't done dramatic designs. i will say adjacent to phase o one, a development also underway that has a commercial program right on ennis. they are in the process of working on their infrastructure plans and also their vertical designs. again, i cannot eat concretely to those amenities. phase one, a representative of mta definitely concerned about the level of transit service right now. bus route 19 that goes all the way to the polk line. part of it is there is this whole transit phasing plan tied to shipyard phase two. with the slowing down of that development with the retesting and whatnot, mta we have been working with to figure out how do we improve freq

his attorney, kevin donahue. >> i think the police are just wrong. >> no forensics, no witnesses, nota body. the defense might have stopped right there. instead, they decided to gamble. mike was a nice guy. the jury should see that. >> do you solemnly swear -- >> if the details had been a little different each time he was asked to tell the story, here was his chance to straighten it out for the jury. how odd then that mike, under oath now, amended his story just a little again. like when he added the detail that carol was in the bathtub when she said something mean to him. >> she said, "you make my skin crawl." >> also slightly different, the way he discovered she was gone. >> i opened the front door and went out, and the garage door was open, and the car was gone. >> in earlier versions, didn't mike say he heard the garage door go up and saw taillights as carol drove away? why had his story changed again? >> what's the deal with that? did you hear the garage door? >> i don't think so. >> why do you think that now? what has jogged your memory? >> because i think over the years, i thou

phil donahue or larry king would want his thoughts on world events. yet no expertise but he was constantly being asked what he thought twice before he threatened to run for president but he never pulled the trigger. he understood the new york media because that's where he came from. you understood how to use celebrity. his empire was fumbling but he managed to sell an image of success and wealth and privilege that kind of bamboozled the country. >> bring that to the national speech. how do we get from there, the new york guide to the national state. let's go to the 2015 primary and really what i think you got into well in the book is this notion of for lack of a better word, revenge. like he was looked down on. you talk about the white house correspondent where president obama cannot remember when he clowned trumpet little bit. apparently he was very angry about that. i want to get into the seeds of anger and fear he played into. >> people asked how can a guy who lives in all gold tower relate to the average white working-class guys but it's resentmen

our america corresponded gary donahue is at a washington to us more. 30 months but spared six days a week in his own office as a result of the prison sentence. acosta at the case in which she has got entangled, obviously it creates yet again the sense that it is a white house and an administration and turmoil in terms of its personnel. de turnover is extraordinary. i'd a back of the envelope just before coming on—air, andi envelope just before coming on—air, and i can count ten cabinet secretaries that have gone one way or another in the last two and a half years you thick secretary of state, the defence secretary, interior secretary, homelike security secretary, the help out human services secretary, the environment secretary, the un ambassador is gone. that is before you even get to other senior post like the chief of staff of national security, press secretary, director of communications, etc. the turnover is huge, which goes a good deal of instability, and particularly in these departments that end up with acting secretary is in charge of them. a r
