:23:00
Oh! Oh, I saw Ty's Alpo commercial...
:23:05
the one where the dog licks his face.
:23:08
Ooh, that is real cute.
He is so good-lookin'.
:23:11
- Y'all must be proud.
- Well, we're not.
:23:14
When I got off the soap,
I rebelled...
:23:18
and started seeking out gay roles.
:23:22
I was always so scared to play gay.
:23:25
Scared someone would...
:23:28
you know, suspect.
:23:30
After he got off the soap opera,
he started doing theater, Sissy.
:23:35
Awful. Awful stuff.
:23:37
I got this play
in this tiny, little theater
known for doing gay plays.
:23:41
Male nudity, the works.
:23:44
Every night the theater
was just packed. It was just
one big, old homo hoedown.
:23:49
He calls it art.
:23:51
I call it trash.
Did this one play--
:23:55
begged me and Wilson to come out
to Los Angeles and see him in it.
:23:59
Well, I was just dying
to see Bernadette Peters
in Annie Get Your Gun.
:24:03
So I talked Wilson
into going out there.
:24:06
The play was called--
:24:08
Oh, I forget the name.
:24:10
Some musical term.
Allegro. Allegre.
:24:14
- Crescendo?
- No.
:24:16
Whatever it was,
it had nothing whatsoever
to do with the subject matter.
:24:20
And I invited my parents...
:24:23
Latrelle and Wilson.
:24:27
Oh, God.
What was I thinking?
:24:29
Anyhow, the play
was going along all nice-like.
:24:34
And, all of a sudden, my son...
:24:37
walks out on the stage... naked.
:24:42
- Buck naked, Sissy.
- Oh, sweetJesus. Naked?
:24:46
And you could see everything.
:24:48
His tallywhacker?
:24:50
[ Sighs ]
Everything.
:24:53
[ singing: [ New Age ]
:24:57
[ Ty ]
It was the single, bravest
moment of my life though.
