1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,800


2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,690
- You had said no to so
many movies and shows

3
00:00:03,690 --> 00:00:05,400
over the course of your
career, as you said.

4
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,380
Did you say no to that at first?

5
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:11,970
How often have you said no to
being on camera for that show?

6
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:15,030
HARRY HAMLIN: Well, when Lisa
first mentioned it to me,

7
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:17,640
I remember exactly where
I was, what time of day

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:18,840
it was, what day
of the week it was.

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,870
It was one of those
moments, right?

10
00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:21,670
- Yeah.

11
00:00:21,670 --> 00:00:23,610
HARRY HAMLIN: And
she said she was

12
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:26,680
considering doing that show,
and I said, you know, I said,

13
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,480
whoa, whoa.

14
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,240
I said, I keep my divorce
lawyer on my speed dial,

15
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,080
just so you know.

16
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,870


17
00:00:33,870 --> 00:00:35,260
- You said that to her?

18
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:36,360
HARRY HAMLIN: I
said that to her.

19
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,530
Those were my exact words.

20
00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:38,330
You know?

21
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:39,690
But I was doing it
partially in jest,

22
00:00:39,690 --> 00:00:41,730
but I was also making a
point, you know, that--

23
00:00:41,730 --> 00:00:43,890
I mean, those shows
are nuts, right?

24
00:00:43,890 --> 00:00:49,690
And oftentimes, couples don't
stay together from those shows.

25
00:00:49,690 --> 00:00:53,160
You know, but then I considered
it from another angle

26
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,545
when I had a conversation
with Bethenny Frankel who

27
00:00:55,545 --> 00:00:58,860
was on the New York show,
and she had this brand called

28
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:02,250
Skinny Girl that turned into
a huge thing for her life,

29
00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:03,490
changed her life.

30
00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:05,940
And we have a clothing
business, and Lisa

31
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:06,870
does the clothing business.

32
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:08,370
She said this is going
to be a great branding

33
00:01:08,370 --> 00:01:10,620
opportunity for the clothing
business, which it has been.

34
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:18,870
So as far as being on the show,
I refused to sign the release

35
00:01:18,870 --> 00:01:23,670
on the first night of shooting,
and it was a little underhanded

36
00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:26,580
because I was shooting
a movie up in Vancouver

37
00:01:26,580 --> 00:01:30,430
and I was supposed to get
back by a certain time

38
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:32,780
so I could be at this
dinner for Lisa's birthday

39
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:34,690
at this restaurant
called Pump that Lisa

40
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:37,000
Vanderpump had just built.

41
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,780
And, darn it, my plane was late.

42
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:43,000
So they shot a few
hours with Lisa already,

43
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,960
for her first time ever on
camera, and she was brilliant,

44
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:48,070
you know, and they had all
this great stuff in the can.

45
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:50,293
And I arrive late,
and they said, now

46
00:01:50,293 --> 00:01:51,260
you got to sign your release.

47
00:01:51,260 --> 00:01:54,700
And I said, I don't
feel like signing it.

48
00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:56,440
So they pulled all
the cameras out.

49
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,390
They said, oh well,
then your wife's

50
00:01:58,390 --> 00:01:59,860
not going to be on the show.

51
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:02,050
And they pull all the cameras,
but they had this great stuff

52
00:02:02,050 --> 00:02:03,370
in the can, right?

53
00:02:03,370 --> 00:02:04,930
So it was now 11
o'clock at night.

54
00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:06,950
They had to call New York.

55
00:02:06,950 --> 00:02:09,175
It's now 3:00 in the morning
in New York, or whatever,

56
00:02:09,175 --> 00:02:11,230
and, you know, they've
somehow got to rouse

57
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:12,483
all the muckety mucks up.

58
00:02:12,483 --> 00:02:13,950
And they've got to say,
well, what do we do?

59
00:02:13,950 --> 00:02:16,120
We've got this great
footage on Lisa Rinna.

60
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,180
Her husband's refusing
to sign the release,

61
00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:21,250
and we've taken all
the cameras out,

62
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:23,590
and they really had
no choice but to put

63
00:02:23,590 --> 00:02:25,660
the cameras back in,
continue shooting, and let

64
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:26,770
me shoot without a release.

65
00:02:26,770 --> 00:02:30,240
So once they had me on
camera without a release,

66
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,820
basically I could
say, you know what?

67
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:34,620
I'm only going to
do this when I want.

68
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:36,370
And don't have to, because--

69
00:02:36,370 --> 00:02:37,170
You know, normally--

70
00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:39,150
- Do you still not have a
release that you've signed?

71
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:40,250
HARRY HAMLIN: I
signed a release,

72
00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:43,040
but it says I don't have
to do it unless I want to.

73
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:43,840
You know?

74
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,900
It says if I--

75
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:45,930
Yeah.

76
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:48,150
- So you can very easily
just wake up and be like, I'm

77
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:49,350
not going to that today.
I'm not doing that.

78
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:50,640
HARRY HAMLIN: Absolutely.
Oh, yeah.

79
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,230
- Do you do that often?

80
00:02:52,230 --> 00:02:54,690
HARRY HAMLIN: I do
that 99% of the time.

81
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:57,100


82
00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:57,900
Yes.

83
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:00,650
[MUSIC PLAYING]
