you like being a sex symbol? but you've remained a sex symbol. i look at you now and you look as glamorous as you've ever looked. >> thank you very much. i've never thought of myself as a sex symbol. i really don't care one way or another. i like to work and i like to do that and it was fun to work with the man i was married to. i'm glad i went on to make movies like "coming home" when i began to produce and "on golden pond." i'm glad at this get stuck in the barberella mode. >> why wouldn't you be that keen to be a sex symbol? >> i'm 74 years old. i think it would be inappropriate. >> i don't mean now, i mean when you look back at that period of your life you don't seem that happy that you were this global sex figure, if you like. >> well, i wasn't. >> the idol of millions of men. >> if you want to know i wasn't. it did not do well at the box office, it's become a cult film. but it was not a big deal at the time. and, you know, i came back and pretty soon after i did "they shoot horses, don't they," so that window of time when one could have slotted me

to show you what they look like. on, off. this is a safety box you can't get it open until you turn it off. a couple of screw in fuses. this is a cartridge and screw in fuses. here it says on and off. pull it out stick it upside down and stick it back in. circuit break /-rs this is what most have. you have the meter. that's how pg and e /khrarpblgs us. you have the big main. usually there are 60 or a hundred or 50. the little guys are 20-15-30. if you want to shut off the power you shut off the little guys first than the main. when you throw a switch there is the arch. like water when water flows in an old house any you shut it off quick you get the hammer effect? that's like electricity. is it safe to do it if you smell natural gas? show of hands. >> nobody has their hands up. it's not safe to flicking any switches if you smell natural gas. how about if there is smoke coming out of an outlet. if you shut this off in an area where there is no gas, good idea. >> just about anything can be a hazardous material, cleaners, solvant

your hat is still going to look great on you. >> your hair is going to look great when you take that kitchen hat off. she is a cook in a restaurant. she comes from not too from where i live. >> horseheads. >> i don't want to say where i come from. i lightened her hair. her hair was too dark, too harsh, too soft. again, brigitte gave us a short haircut, brought two haircuts into one. you look beautiful. >> you look gorgeous. >> that dress is so festive. >> for the holidays, adrianna arpel, we wanted to wow her. and these boots. we gave you pizzazz with these tights. >> frank's that kind of guy. >> let's bring kerry out. >> you look beautiful. >> thank you, guys. >> merry christmas to everybody. >> coming up next no escape for us this holiday. you want to save money on car insurance? no problem. you want to save money on rv insurance? no problem. you want to save money on motorcycle insurance? no problem. you want to find a place to park all these things? fuggedaboud it. this is new york. hey little guy, wake up! aw, come off it mate! geico. saving people money on more than just car in

now and you look as glamorous as you've ever looked. >> thank you very much. i don't think of myself as a sex symbol. it was fun. i like to work and i'm glad i went on to make movies like "klute" and "coming home" and "on golden pond." i'm glad i didn't get stuck in the barbarella mode. >> why did you feel not uncomfortable, but why wouldn't you be that keen to be a sex symbol? >> i'm 74 years old. i think it would be inappropriate. >> i don't mean now. when you look back to that period of your life, you don't seem that happy that you were this global sex figure if you'd like, the idol of millions of men. >> if you really want to know, i wasn't. "barberella" did not do well at the box office. it's become a cult film. but it was not a big deal at the time. and, you know, i came back and pretty soon after i did "they shoot horses don't they" so that window of time when one could have slotted me into sex symbol didn't really last because at heart i'm a serious actress who much preferred being in "they shoot horses, don't they" and shortly after that "klute" becau

when you look at it, what do you think went wrong? >> i can't answer the question. i have not been in the forefront of politics. i came to politics, you know, in my 30s and my politics are around issues and the issues that i understand are not economic. you know, i work with young people, i work with adolescents, i work on issues of violence against women. it would be clumsy for me right now to try to give my opinion about what went wrong in this country economically. i mean, one thing that comes to mind is you can't wage a war for as long as we did in iraq and not tax it. we're paying for it without taxing it so that people would swallow that bitter pill. that was one thing that went wrong and that really messed up the economy. but i'm -- i have a hard time understanding the economic situation. i try. i look at wonderful documentaries like "too big to fail" and things like that. i find it very confusing and disturbing. all i know is that when you have soldiers coming back from war, when you have people graduating with high degrees and none of them can find jobs in

thanks for being here. >> thank you, rachel. >> looking back on the start of the war and looking back on the past 8 1/2 years, how it feels for you to have the iraq war ending now and having all the american troops coming home. >> let me say first that i want to thank you for your very eloquent and accurate commentary with regard to the state of condition of the u.s. armed forces. it's unconscionable in some respects that we have let these people sacrifice for as long as they have in afghanistan and iraq and literally gone on with our lives. reduced taxes, as you pointed out, and shopping as president bush said, and so forth. these men and women not only deserve to come home, they deserve to come home a long time ago. the preposterous protests being made by members of my political party, like john mccain and lindsey graham and others, just boggle my mind. we need to move in a military sense back to a position of strategic agility. that is to say, we need to be in offshore confirmation. we need to be in battle groups and marine amphibious groups and air force in saudi arabia. we need t

it's gonna be a much younger, hipper look to it. youut her spirit. >> stephanie looks amazing. it's life-changing for her!

[ crowd cheering ] [ applause ] ♪ >> whoa! [ crowd cheering ] [ applause ] ♪ >> okay, beautiful. >> what did you do? >> the thing with stephanie's hair, all of the weight was in the bottom of the hair and it made her face look wider. so we kept the layers long on the top. if she wears it curly, it's versatile. she can wear it curly and she can easily blow-dry it. >> can water damage the hair, i heard there's chlorin

if you look to how -- if you look to mobility. if you look to product -- productivity and all those kinds of things. the good news from the netherlands is that you'll find the biggest supporters of good bike infrastructure among retailers. they know what good customers bicyclists are. and -- when we started discussions about this think bike workshop. we did this in other cities in the u.s. and we will be in that other big california city, los angeles, in a few other days. thursday, and -- thursday and friday. and i was convinced quite easily about the use to have these kind of work shops in l.a. but i thought san francisco, there's so much going on already. we had leah and for almost nine months in amsterdam and chairman david chiu and others for a week. and there is such great organization here and there are so many ideas. there are so many professional little here already about bike infrastructure and the future of biking. but it will come down to implementation and it's perhaps a bit like riding the wiggle. you have to push har

when you look at this, you know, look back to 2008, people need to understand that we are in historic times, coordination is necessary, but remember after 2008 we had a $700 billion relief for troubled assets. we had the bailout of aig, fannie mae, freddie mac. everybody should look at this event and be happy that there was coordination, but be aware that we are far from out of dangerous territory. >> to say nothing of at that time some $6 trillion or $7 trillion of fed bailouts as well. >> right. >> mohammed, let's talk abe the credit situation then. we were seeing dangerous signs earlier this week, the cost to borrow, swap money back and forth, dollars for the european banks was getting scary again. did what the fed and central banks do work? have we averted that? >> well, as you say it was getting really scary and it was a legitimate threat. the functioning of the markets, the plumbing if you like, was coming under pressure and pipes were getting clogged and if the central bank had not moved in a dramatic and coordinated fashion, we would be having massive problems today. however,

think there is a story for the consumer but i think it's going to get tougher and actually when you look at the weather where there has been foreign investment take advantage of this growth you know it's it's been quite selective it's very impressive i mean i have to say i think that perhaps crowd session of wimbledon was it was a strategically very significant event for russia and also unilever buying cleaner but definitely foreign players want to get in on this market also has acted so you lots of foreign players coming in but i think it's going to get tougher and where there are no weather has been great from my point of view it's either been funded by relatively high debt levels or it's always consolidation story i think one of the biggest trend is going to be the removal of subsidies from to the consumer and i think it's going to harder ok back to you what are the barriers that you see fit to growth because everyone's you know giving three cheers to the acquisition of wimbledon by pepsi co but i mean when you look forward in any large company that looks at the consumer and you're ag

you? >> well, that's what happened actually. i mean they would say, lookw he makes us laugh and -- >> is that when you got that excitement, that you thought this is for me? >> i remember very clearly saying, this is who i am. my family is telling me, who i love, the family i love, the family, and they're telling me that i sing well and that i paint well, and that created a very strong passion in my life. >> because i always -- i've got three sons now and all i say to them is you've got to find a passion and then chase that passion. if you end up doing a job you love, as you know, you're never going to be bored. you're never going to wake up and think i've got to go to work today. you wake up and you're tony bennett. you're going to go and sing or paint or whatever it may be, but everything you do, you love doing. don't you? >> it's he never a bother for me. i don't need a vacation. i'm on vacation, because i'm doing the two things i love. so you're right. >> the new album, they say you can always judge a man by the company of the people that he keeps, tony
