: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.
:23:01
She had one request I couldn't fill:
:23:03
Take a double-page ad out in the
Daily Variety and Hollywood Reporter.
:23:07
On one side, in bold numbers,
the theater grosses of Rosemary's Baby.
:23:11
On the other, the theater
grosses of The Detective.
:23:16
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
:23:34
A decade before, Norma Shearer
took me for a short walk.
:23:39
Within 10 minutes of the Beverly Hills
Hotel, we entered a hidden oasis.
:23:44
It is a world away from Beverly Hills.
:23:49
It is protected by 100-foot-tall
eucalyptus trees.
:23:53
Greta Garbo used to hide away there
whenever she came into town.
:23:57
I'd never forgotten the day I was there.
