Tonight, on
'Frank Brand Live'--
:53:06
since taking the nation
by storm
:53:07
in her debut movie,
'Sunrise, Sunset,'
:53:12
no one has managed to land
a live television interview
:53:16
with this fabulous
shooting starlet, Simone--
:53:20
until now.
:53:22
I'm happy to say that she's agreed
to talk with us tonight
:53:25
from the set
of her new film.
:53:27
Welcome, Simone.
:53:30
So glad you can find time
in your hectic schedule to be here.
:53:35
It's my pleasure.
:53:37
Wonderful to be
with you, Frank.
:53:38
No one can accuse you
of being overexposed, Simone.
:53:44
Why have you stayed so completely
out of the limelight?
:53:47
I guess I just think
actors talk too much.
:53:49
I mean, does the world really
want to hear my life story
:53:52
just because I have a movie
opening on Friday?
:53:54
Wow.
:53:57
She is all woman.
:53:59
Of course, the problem
:54:00
with shying away
from publicity these days
:54:03
is that it tends
to attract even more.
:54:05
Don't I know it.
:54:07
But the only reason
I'm here now
:54:09
is to put the attention
back where it belongs--
:54:12
on Mr Taransky's film.
:54:14
And you don't secretly
want the attention?
:54:16
I'm not even sure
I deserve it.
:54:18
You see, after tonight,
:54:20
I'll have just as much
screen time on your show
:54:22
as I have in my movies.
:54:23
Now, how is that healthy
for a performer?
:54:27
Because you have to understand,
Frank, none of this is real.
:54:30
Who I am on screen
and who I really am,
:54:33
they're two totally
different people.
:54:35
Change of topic, Simone.
:54:37
You have been
romantically linked
:54:39
to dozens of men
in the press--
:54:40
Mick Jagger, Steven Hawking,
Fidel Castro,
:54:43
most recently,
Viktor Taransky.
:54:46
Is there a 'Mr Right'
in there somewhere?
:54:48
You know, Frank, I'd rather not
discuss my private life.
:54:51
But Viktor and I,
we are inseparable.
:54:56
Oh, Viktor.
You dog.
