"Stay in Rosemary's Baby, you go back
to Mia Farrow. Forget the name Sinatra!"

:21:06
Suddenly this little girl hysterically
runs into my office.

:21:10
"I love him, Bob. I love him so.
I don't wanna lose Frank.

:21:14
I'm gonna have to leave the movie."
:21:17
Mia, if you walk out in the middle of
this film, you'll never work again.

:21:21
"I don't care, I don't care.
I just love Frank."

:21:24
Well, if ever my experience with dames
came in handy, I mean actress dames...

:21:29
...this was the moment.
:21:31
I knew what makes the head of an actress
tick, and I finally found its purpose.

:21:37
Come with me, Mia,
I wanna show you something.

:21:40
We walked into the executive
screening room...

:21:42
...and I showed her a full hour of
Rosemary's Baby cut together.

:21:46
Dr. Hill? Dr. Hill, there's a plot.
:21:49
I know that sounds crazy, and you're
thinking, "This poor girl has flipped."

:21:54
But I haven't flipped, Dr. Hill.
:21:56
I swear by all the saints, I haven't.
:21:59
Mia, you're brilliant. I never
thought you had it in you.

:22:04
It'll shock them all.
:22:06
I want you to know something. You're a
shoo-in to win the Academy Award.

:22:10
Suddenly her tears were gone.
Her face lights up.

:22:14
"Do you think so?" The one thing I'm not
is prone to exaggerate. You're a shoo-in.

:22:20
I mean a shoo-in, kid. "Sinatra who?"
Suddenly, a smile.

:22:25
She didn't walk off the film. But Frank
did serve her divorce papers on the set...

:22:30
...delivered by Mickey Rudin, his attorney.
:22:33
Wow, it's strange. Women recover real
quick. It may have taken her a full week.

:22:38
Then the only thing she wanted was that
Rosemary's Baby out-gross The Detective.

:22:42
You want to know about actresses?
:22:45
Mia's one satisfaction would be that the
pictures would open on the same day.

:22:49
And I arranged that.
:22:51
The Detective opened to a
real good box office.

:22:54
But Rosemary's Baby was
the smash hit of the summer.

:22:58
Overnight, Mia was a full-fledged star.
