Annette O'Toole (Smallville, Virgin River) joins us this week to share iconic stories from her decades of work alongside Hollywood legends and all the while how her naivety prevented her from being taken advantage of throughout her early career. Annette goes on to tell a crazy story of her travels back and forth across the country during 9/11 and how it inevitably led to her winning an Academy Award.

Love Annette O'Toole. Not enough of her anymore. Such a wonderful talent. 👵🕯️🕊️🌺💗💗
Well, Anette doesn't know this... or me, but she was responsible for me getting a job at a big talent agency; my first real job. I had moved to L.A. and needed work badly. I wanted to work in the entertainment industry. I was walking in my neighborhood and saw her coming out of a building. I knew her from all the television shows that she had guest starred on in my childhood and teen years and figured, perhaps, whatever they did in this building was the entertainment business. I ran home, changed into my interview outfit, grabbed a resume and walked back into that building. Obviously this was before the days of email... way before. And it was before you needed to have a law degree to work in the mailroom. The H.R. department took me straight upstairs interviewed me and set me up with one of their agents. It was one of the biggest talent agencies in the world. I started working that week. It was a great job for a kid with almost no experience. It was that easy to get a job in the industry. What has Hollywood lost? The ability to hire someone because they seem like they have something. So many people with great ideas and talent are being bypassed because they don't have the mind deadening degrees. Hollywood is pretty much dead now. I can't believe I'm saying this but television, as in the great mini-series that are being produced by HBO etc... are the only things worth watching now.
Wow that's sad to hear. Your story is great.
The minute a college or university figures out there is a lucrative or popular job that too many "non degreed" people are getting, they create a pathway to a 'degree' that probably isn't needed to do the job in the first place. Yet if they can sell someone on the idea that a degree somehow makes the employee more 'valuable' then they win, making more money for their school while preventing entry of those who can't afford the education but would probably be just as good, if not better.
And it's only gotten worse since then!!
This such a freakkin’ great story! I just love you, Annette. I think I are the coolest person and I’m so happy you see you back acting in Virgin River.
Michael McKean and Annette O’Toole are adorable. I absolutely adore them.
Kool, I never knew that. Love both of them.
She has always been one of my favorite actresses, going back to the late 70's. Both she and Linda Purl have delivered some memorable performances in more than several TV and movie "vehicles" throughout their distnquished careers.
THAT'S MIGHTY WIND!!! OH WOW! The hairs on the back of my neck stood when she sang the lyrics! I love that movie so much, so happy she was involved, plus an oscar nom!
Annette O'Toole must have a plethora of good stories
I imagine she has some real crazy stuff to say about Walter Hill, Nick Nolte, Paul Schrader and Nastassja Kinski.
I didn't know Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean were married. I fell in love with her in Cat People. She reminded me so much of my first real girlfriend. They could have been sisters.
This is a great interview series! My very first photodouble gig was for Annette on the series finale of Smallville. I had first seen her on film with Robbie Benson in One on One. It was an honor to be picked for that after years of bg on that show. It only led to bigger opportunities.
I've been a fan of Annette O'Toole since "Smile." A great actress and always a delight on the screen.
That’s where I first discovered her - in Smile! Great movie! Reminds me of Guest at his best! Aside from Waiting For Guffman, A Mighty Wind is my favorite of his. I love the variety of folk songs in it….Fantastic music. Almost like the many types of country music in Nashville. Glad Jamie had the wisdom to know a beautiful song would work better. A good reminder to listen to the music in our heads! The songs that came through Annette are perfect for this movie. And what a movie! I’m telling you, when I want to laugh, I go to UA-cam and watch Jennifer Coolidge thank God for model trains and the couple explain their devoted worship of Color.
I just watched it for the first time today. 😀
@@AppallingTrashFilms What did you watch - Smile or A Mighty Wind?
@@Daisnap Smile 😀
@@AppallingTrashFilms Ah! Isn't it fantastic? Very pointed social satire as I recall, and very funny. Did you like it? 😄
I love that story,always bhad a boyhood crush on her since Cat People,and love that she got her song recognized & Jamie Lee Curtis blessing.Mind-trip,and ego booster long-term payoff for putting your heart & soul out there,so it must be relatable.Now I have to look it up.
I have loved her from Smile, Superman 3, Cat People and she wrote Kiss at the End of the Rainbow. Wonderful.
A slash between 9 and the 11 would help contextually.
Holy Moley! She wrote Kiss at the end of the rainbow - who knew - love that song :)
Watching Virgin River seems to calm my heart and soul!
It's most unusual for a veteran actress like Annette (over 50 years in the business) to be Oscar-nominated as co-writer of a song "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" from the movie "A Mighty Wind". If it hadn't been for the 9/11 terrorist attack this - her only nomination - would probably never have come her way. Fate works in such strange ways😏
Thank you for this interview, great channel ❤️👍🏿👍👍🏽👍🏻
I love your work - I 'v been a fan since Smallville -you are the
ultimate Lex
I love A Mighty Wind! Had no idea that she helped write those songs.
Anything that promotes Annette o' toole is worthwhile because she is one of the best modern actresses of all time
Shouldn't Annette's name be somewhere in the title?
A shame that you didn’t include Annette’s name in the video title. Nice story.
I had no idea she was involved with Mighty Wind. It's a favorite of mine, but I never bothered to look who wrote what song.
I bought the soundtrack to that movie right after I watched it. Still keep 'Potato's in the Paddy Wagon' in regular rotation on a few of my playlists too. Really great stuff and one of my favorite movies. I know most folks lean toward Best In Show or This Is Spinal Tap as Guest's best work, but I think Mighty Wind gives those a run for their money. I never sat down and put them in a list or anything, but if I did I'd struggle to rate them because they're all so good.
Always thought she should've been nominated for Cross My Heart.
911 and 9/11 are two very different things! Should change the title and include Annette’s name in the title.
yeah but you know what he means.
That’s what I was thinking too! I thought someone was gonna call the police for help in this story, going by the title 🤣
Thank you
She's so great☺
What was the movie that the songs were for? I didn't catch it
A Mighty Wind
absolutely gorgeous woman. first saw her in Cat People with Malcom McDowell and Nastasia Kinski.
This is Superman's girlfriend from 1980s Superman III
I remember he being so young there, her face seemed familiar I had to google her.
And then she became Superman’s adoptive mother, Martha Kent on Smallville
She was sooo pretty.
Annette, you have the look of Jackie Kennedy. Love your work....
OMFG. It's amazing how "the day the 🌎 stood still" had no effect on the ppl in charge of the show.
INSANE!!
Michael McKean also did “The Lone Gunmen” up in YVR. You’ll remember he played Fox Mulder for a time…
By the Grace of god this lady is alive 😊👍🤗
Thought ment calling 911,not 9\11
Yeah, me too. So stupid to write it that way.
This is "Spinaltap" the most Epic Rockumentary production Ever!
"...bbbut I want the volume on 11! ...uh..i mean it only says 10 here but i want it on 11!"
Is that “ Bevy” from Steven King’s IT ??
Yup
Remember Cat People and IT. Wonderful performances 👏🏻 💖
I thought this was something about a 911 call. ☎️
I had no idea she was married to Michael McKean until just now.
Great story, but had nearly nothing to relate it to 9-11. Please don't invoke a national tragedy as a segue to an unrelated situation. As an aside, I loved Annette on Nash Bridges.
It had everything to do with it, she literally wouldn't have been in that car with the tune in her head if it hadn't happened, the song would never exist to be nominated for an Oscar.
@@rivertam7827 If it makes you feel better, stick with that.
I believe it added context
@@Jessica-hh1vu In a manner of speaking.
It's 9-11 not 911, that's the phone number for emergency calls
She does not ever mention John Schneider much and the same with John.
I wonder what Sarah the sweet production assistant she broke down in front of is doing these days. Still working in the business?
✨💜✨
Wow that was a really boring story
Agreed. I guess you had to be there...or at least know the point of reference.
Yeah I thought somebody needed emergency services not September 11th lol. They both are horrible though.
Why you say "Tell me the story quickly" as an interviewer this line feels arrogant and disinteresting .
Why not say "What was the story about (xyz)?" Can you elaborate?.
911 is to call emergency; 9/11 is the date the twin towers fell.
First world problems. The world is literally reeling from a tragic event and your getting paid NOT to work on a film set!! Meanwhile there's 160k out of work actors in the SAG. Talk about out to lunch.
Who cares?
