92
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,297

Fabiana Udenio: summer school and I kind of stayed.
97
00:03:29,503 --> 00:03:34,172
Fabiana Udenio: I went back and forth from Italy to work
98
00:03:34,212 --> 00:03:36,704
Fabiana Udenio: for a while and I came here, but generally
99
00:03:37,727 --> 00:03:38,970
Fabiana Udenio: so it's been since the late 80s.
100
00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:39,772
Fabiana Udenio: How long has that been?
101
00:03:40,382 --> 00:03:41,427

102
00:03:42,191 --> 00:03:43,799
Marc Preston: I don't really want to think about how long
103
00:03:43,819 --> 00:03:44,000

Marc Preston: But yeah, you originally from Italy, but I
118
00:04:10,364 --> 00:04:11,928
Marc Preston: thought I read somewhere Weren't you born
119
00:04:11,968 --> 00:04:12,590
Marc Preston: in Argentina?
120
00:04:13,763 --> 00:04:16,193
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i was born in Argentina.
121
00:04:16,233 --> 00:04:18,000
Fabiana Udenio: My parents are Italian, but my dad went to
122
00:04:18,161 --> 00:04:21,090
Fabiana Udenio: Argentina to join his father, who had a
123
00:04:21,492 --> 00:04:23,980
Fabiana Udenio: company there, and so they got married
124
00:04:24,401 --> 00:04:24,902
Fabiana Udenio: really young.
125
00:04:24,942 --> 00:04:27,348
Fabiana Udenio: My parents went to Argentina with my sister,
126
00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:30,464
Fabiana Udenio: who was one year old, and they stayed there
127
00:04:30,524 --> 00:04:31,526
Fabiana Udenio: for 15 years.
128
00:04:31,687 --> 00:04:33,451
Fabiana Udenio: So I was born there, stayed there until I
129
00:04:33,491 --> 00:04:37,607
Fabiana Udenio: was six or seven or depending on whether I
130
00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:42,303
Fabiana Udenio: Yes And then they went back to Italy And so
131
00:04:42,383 --> 00:04:44,990
Fabiana Udenio: my upbringing was in Italy, my schooling
132
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:47,504
Fabiana Udenio: and all What kind of work was your father
133
00:04:47,544 --> 00:04:49,129
Fabiana Udenio: doing in Argentina?
134
00:04:49,149 --> 00:04:49,891
Marc Preston: What was his trade?
135
00:04:50,942 --> 00:04:52,925
Fabiana Udenio: They were importing and exporting
136
00:04:54,989 --> 00:05:00,332
Fabiana Udenio: photographic equipment And they were doing
137
00:05:00,352 --> 00:05:00,633
Fabiana Udenio: pretty well.
138
00:05:00,653 --> 00:05:01,960
Fabiana Udenio: But you know, in Argentina the economic,
139
00:05:02,663 --> 00:05:05,434
Fabiana Udenio: political system goes up and down, so I
140
00:05:05,474 --> 00:05:06,980
Fabiana Udenio: think there was a crash, political,
141
00:05:07,964 --> 00:05:10,373
Fabiana Udenio: everything And so my mother I think it was
142
00:05:10,434 --> 00:05:13,343
Fabiana Udenio: my mother at the time that decided I wanted
143
00:05:13,363 --> 00:05:15,688
Fabiana Udenio: to go back And my dad kind of maybe didn't
144
00:05:15,788 --> 00:05:19,809
Fabiana Udenio: want to, but they went back to Italy And so
145
00:05:19,849 --> 00:05:22,000
Fabiana Udenio: I had family over there in Argentina.
146
00:05:22,682 --> 00:05:23,545

209
00:07:31,682 --> 00:07:35,470
Fabiana Udenio: I really wanted to stay in the states But I
210
00:07:35,490 --> 00:07:37,321
Fabiana Udenio: didn't know whether that was going to be
211
00:07:37,361 --> 00:07:37,762
Fabiana Udenio: possible.
212
00:07:37,782 --> 00:07:40,789

213
00:07:40,830 --> 00:07:43,163

00:07:52,301 --> 00:07:55,248
Marc Preston: it's on the Mount Rushmore of movies from

Marc Preston: to be their summer school teacher.
220
00:07:58,228 --> 00:07:59,940
Marc Preston: After that movie, and I think after you
221
00:08:00,341 --> 00:08:01,525
Marc Preston: were in it, i think there's probably
222
00:08:01,565 --> 00:08:02,709
Marc Preston: thousands of young men that were
223
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,886
Marc Preston: petitioning their parents to can we do a
224
00:08:04,946 --> 00:08:06,451
Marc Preston: foreign exchange student for the area?
225
00:08:07,948 --> 00:08:10,945
Marc Preston: So Coming from Rome and doing that movie
226
00:08:10,965 --> 00:08:13,222
Marc Preston: and just walking around LA, what was it
227
00:08:13,262 --> 00:08:14,104
Marc Preston: like when you first started getting
228
00:08:14,205 --> 00:08:14,927

00:08:16,050 --> 00:08:16,601
Marc Preston: What was that Like?
231
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:18,086
Marc Preston: was that a little bit odd for you to be
232
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:19,210
Marc Preston: recognized at that point?
233
00:08:20,180 --> 00:08:21,746
Fabiana Udenio: Actually, when I was doing the soap opera
234
00:08:21,766 --> 00:08:24,507
Fabiana Udenio: in New York, that was interesting because
235
00:08:24,527 --> 00:08:26,200
Fabiana Udenio: the soap operas had kind of a following.
236
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,033
Fabiana Udenio: So they were asking, especially at the ABC
237
00:08:29,073 --> 00:08:30,661
Fabiana Udenio: Studios right there Lincoln Center, they
238
00:08:30,681 --> 00:08:32,127

240
00:08:36,023 --> 00:08:40,064
Fabiana Udenio: school, getting cast in that The biggest
241
00:08:40,145 --> 00:08:42,830
Fabiana Udenio: emotion was to go to the Paramount Studios
242
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,362
Fabiana Udenio: and just see the Paramount sign and going
243

246
00:08:58,737 --> 00:08:59,980

250
00:09:09,421 --> 00:09:10,586
Marc Preston: What were you wanting to do when you were
251
00:09:10,626 --> 00:09:10,807
Marc Preston: young?
252
00:09:11,621 --> 00:09:13,648
Marc Preston: Was it always a track of performance of
253
00:09:13,688 --> 00:09:14,109
Marc Preston: some sort?
254
00:09:14,903 --> 00:09:16,100
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i always wanted to.
255
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,326
Fabiana Udenio: I don't know, since I was seven years,
256
00:09:18,446 --> 00:09:20,412
Fabiana Udenio: eight, nine, i wanted to be an actress.
257
00:09:20,861 --> 00:09:23,349
Fabiana Udenio: I was my sister, who's older than me, tells
258
00:09:23,389 --> 00:09:27,206
Fabiana Udenio: me that I was imitating commercials all the
259
00:09:27,246 --> 00:09:29,408
Fabiana Udenio: time And I just you know, i don't know.
260
00:09:29,901 --> 00:09:31,968
Fabiana Udenio: And then I was 11 or 12.
261
00:09:32,121 --> 00:09:33,840
Fabiana Udenio: I wanted to do acting classes.
262
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:36,129
Fabiana Udenio: I did a little theater in the neighborhood
263
00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:41,150
Fabiana Udenio: And then I won Miss Teen Italy when I was
264
00:09:41,791 --> 00:09:42,793
Fabiana Udenio: 12 and a half.
265
00:09:42,961 --> 00:09:45,197
Fabiana Udenio: That's Italian for you, really Well that
266
00:09:45,217 --> 00:09:45,984
Fabiana Udenio: wasn't even That's.
267
00:09:46,024 --> 00:09:47,902
Fabiana Udenio: That's that's not quite legal, but you know.
268
00:09:47,922 --> 00:09:50,050
Fabiana Udenio: So they wanted to take the title away from
269
00:09:50,131 --> 00:09:52,299
Fabiana Udenio: me because I don't know if it's right or
270
00:09:52,339 --> 00:09:52,500
Fabiana Udenio: wrong.
271
00:09:52,620 --> 00:09:53,944
Fabiana Udenio: I don't know legally what it would be,
272
00:09:54,987 --> 00:09:57,601
Fabiana Udenio: because I'm born in December And I think
273
00:09:57,662 --> 00:10:01,411
Fabiana Udenio: the title, the competition, was before my
274
00:10:01,471 --> 00:10:01,952
Fabiana Udenio: birthday.
275
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,009
Fabiana Udenio: So I wasn't quite a teenager technically,
276
00:10:05,380 --> 00:10:08,154
Fabiana Udenio: but I kept the title because you know
277
00:10:08,347 --> 00:10:08,567
Fabiana Udenio: there's.
278
00:10:08,647 --> 00:10:11,393
Marc Preston: But still in Italy, being that young and
279
00:10:11,493 --> 00:10:14,526
Marc Preston: having, was it really big, was it?
280
00:10:14,821 --> 00:10:16,326
Marc Preston: Obviously it's a big competition, but it
281
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:18,063
Marc Preston: wasn't something that gave you an aspect of
282
00:10:18,124 --> 00:10:20,116
Marc Preston: notoriety to people say, oh, this girl,
283
00:10:20,156 --> 00:10:23,008
Marc Preston: fabiana, you know she's only 12 or 13, but
284
00:10:23,048 --> 00:10:26,063
Marc Preston: she was in a big deal, or Yeah, it was, it
285
00:10:26,103 --> 00:10:27,087
Marc Preston: was, it was a big deal.
286
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,732
Fabiana Udenio: It was sort of like in a pageant kind of a
287
00:10:31,812 --> 00:10:34,680
Fabiana Udenio: way, without any sort of way, you know,
288
00:10:34,780 --> 00:10:36,652
Fabiana Udenio: like a pet, like you know there is still a
289
00:10:36,753 --> 00:10:38,121
Fabiana Udenio: talent competition, but it's still like
290
00:10:38,161 --> 00:10:38,684
Fabiana Udenio: it's a pageant.
291
00:10:39,321 --> 00:10:41,592
Fabiana Udenio: But what happened to me right after I got
292
00:10:41,632 --> 00:10:43,662
Fabiana Udenio: cast in the Tempest to play Mirana, that
293
00:10:43,702 --> 00:10:44,505
Fabiana Udenio: was a big deal.
294
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,746
Fabiana Udenio: The theater director, george Ostrich, he's
295
00:10:47,786 --> 00:10:51,382
Fabiana Udenio: like he was an icon of the theater all over
296
00:10:51,503 --> 00:10:54,727
Fabiana Udenio: Europe And so to be cast so young in that
297
00:10:55,309 --> 00:11:00,390
Fabiana Udenio: sort of gave me three, 16, away, a prestige
298
00:11:01,052 --> 00:11:03,763
Fabiana Udenio: and weighed as an actor And for a while
299
00:11:03,824 --> 00:11:05,088
Fabiana Udenio: that's all I wanted to do.
300
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,563
Marc Preston: I wanted to do theater, i wanted to was it
301
00:11:07,623 --> 00:11:09,308
Marc Preston: intimidating for you at all being that
302
00:11:09,369 --> 00:11:11,184
Marc Preston: young and then jumping into this, this
303
00:11:11,224 --> 00:11:12,568
Marc Preston: thing and getting that kind of recognition?
304
00:11:12,668 --> 00:11:13,190
Fabiana Udenio: It was.
305
00:11:15,581 --> 00:11:19,129
Fabiana Udenio: I was completely in love with theater and I
306
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:22,706
Fabiana Udenio: was so passionate And it was, yes, that's
307
00:11:22,746 --> 00:11:22,847
Fabiana Udenio: all.
308
00:11:22,867 --> 00:11:24,030
Fabiana Udenio: I wanted to be Juliet.
309
00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:26,565
Fabiana Udenio: After that It was intimidating, but I was.
310
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:27,809
Fabiana Udenio: I worked so hard.
311
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:30,245
Fabiana Udenio: He gave me a lot of confidence.
312
00:11:31,843 --> 00:11:34,304
Fabiana Udenio: He's he's a maestro of that, but he did
313
00:11:34,685 --> 00:11:35,007
Fabiana Udenio: like me.
314
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,147
Fabiana Udenio: He did like the fact that I was so raw and
315
00:11:38,227 --> 00:11:41,821
Fabiana Udenio: young and Miranda much like Juliet, juliet,
316
00:11:42,002 --> 00:11:44,589
Fabiana Udenio: juliet and Miranda they are she is very
317
00:11:44,690 --> 00:11:48,146
Fabiana Udenio: young And so there were some qualities that
318
00:11:48,226 --> 00:11:52,794
Fabiana Udenio: he was able to to to use of the young.
319
00:11:52,940 --> 00:11:55,507
Fabiana Udenio: You know the innocence of this that I was
320
00:11:55,627 --> 00:11:58,121
Fabiana Udenio: bringing to the stage, to the table, just
321
00:11:58,482 --> 00:12:00,849

00:13:23,684 --> 00:13:25,529
Marc Preston: Whenever I try, my brain tries to actively

00:13:27,626 --> 00:13:28,714
Marc Preston: you're not going to be able to do that,
364
00:13:28,855 --> 00:13:29,500
Marc Preston: which is embarrassing.
365
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,750
Marc Preston: When you're out with people and you try to
366
00:13:30,770 --> 00:13:32,000

00:13:39,624 --> 00:13:40,445
Marc Preston: doing this pageant.
373
00:13:40,485 --> 00:13:43,993
Marc Preston: You're doing, i'm assuming that the theater
374
00:13:44,033 --> 00:13:44,133
Marc Preston: thing.
375
00:13:44,364 --> 00:13:45,963
Marc Preston: That was a touring thing, that just wasn't
376
00:13:45,983 --> 00:13:46,485
Marc Preston: at one theater.
377
00:13:47,241 --> 00:13:48,606
Marc Preston: So were your parents okay with that, or
378
00:13:48,666 --> 00:13:49,509
Marc Preston: were they hesitant?
379
00:13:49,740 --> 00:13:52,385
Fabiana Udenio: My mother had to follow me because the
380
00:13:52,425 --> 00:13:54,229
Fabiana Udenio: structure in Italy they weren't so
381
00:13:54,249 --> 00:13:57,881
Fabiana Udenio: accustomed to underage performers Like here
382
00:13:57,922 --> 00:14:00,368
Fabiana Udenio: you have a whole system of schooling and
383
00:14:00,408 --> 00:14:00,548
Fabiana Udenio: rules.
384
00:14:03,261 --> 00:14:04,085
Fabiana Udenio: It wasn't so much.
385
00:14:04,420 --> 00:14:06,325
Fabiana Udenio: I don't know how it is right now for
386
00:14:06,626 --> 00:14:08,650
Fabiana Udenio: somebody that's underage, but at the time
387
00:14:08,731 --> 00:14:09,172
Fabiana Udenio: it wasn't.
388
00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:11,651
Fabiana Udenio: So my mother had to follow me and my mother
389
00:14:11,711 --> 00:14:13,179
Fabiana Udenio: completely embraced it, but it wasn't.
390
00:14:13,199 --> 00:14:16,007
Fabiana Udenio: She wasn't like the stage mom because it
391
00:14:16,048 --> 00:14:16,990
Fabiana Udenio: was my passion.
392
00:14:18,522 --> 00:14:21,810
Fabiana Udenio: So she supported me, but it didn't come
393
00:14:21,870 --> 00:14:23,233
Fabiana Udenio: from her, it really came from me.
394
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:25,024
Fabiana Udenio: And then she, of course she supported me
395
00:14:25,084 --> 00:14:30,162
Fabiana Udenio: and my sister liked writing And so I used
396
00:14:30,222 --> 00:14:30,483
Fabiana Udenio: to.
397
00:14:30,784 --> 00:14:35,596
Fabiana Udenio: When I was invited in Italy to TV shows and
398
00:14:35,637 --> 00:14:38,961
Fabiana Udenio: talk shows I used to recite her poems And
399
00:14:39,361 --> 00:14:40,163
Fabiana Udenio: so that was.
400
00:14:40,684 --> 00:14:41,846
Fabiana Udenio: She stopped doing that, but she was a
401
00:14:41,927 --> 00:14:44,331
Fabiana Udenio: really, really talented writer.
402
00:14:44,432 --> 00:14:47,981
Fabiana Udenio: For her She did road poems and things, but
403
00:14:48,042 --> 00:14:49,325
Fabiana Udenio: so my mom didn't embrace it and they'd
404
00:14:49,345 --> 00:14:50,689
Fabiana Udenio: support me, but it didn't come from her.
405
00:14:51,180 --> 00:14:53,825
Fabiana Udenio: She didn't push me, not even for the teen
406
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:54,167
Fabiana Udenio: thing.
407
00:14:55,343 --> 00:14:57,249
Fabiana Udenio: It was my wanting to do it.
408
00:14:57,882 --> 00:14:59,307
Marc Preston: Well, where did your interest come from,
409
00:14:59,347 --> 00:14:59,507
Marc Preston: though?
410
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:01,025
Marc Preston: What was the genesis of that?
411
00:15:01,705 --> 00:15:03,040
Marc Preston: Were you a precocious child?
412
00:15:03,141 --> 00:15:04,897
Marc Preston: I mean, were you or were you shy when you
413
00:15:04,917 --> 00:15:05,220
Marc Preston: were growing up?
414
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,968
Fabiana Udenio: I think I was full of energy, not shy, when
415
00:15:08,008 --> 00:15:08,911
Fabiana Udenio: I was growing up.
416
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,167
Fabiana Udenio: I think I became a little bit more shy
417
00:15:11,247 --> 00:15:15,225
Fabiana Udenio: later And I think maybe acting or
418
00:15:15,646 --> 00:15:19,693
Fabiana Udenio: performing it's always been my therapy and
419
00:15:19,753 --> 00:15:20,274
Fabiana Udenio: escape.
420
00:15:20,740 --> 00:15:24,125
Fabiana Udenio: Every time I was nothing mattered and it
421
00:15:24,185 --> 00:15:29,452
Fabiana Udenio: was catapulting me in a state of happiness
422
00:15:29,533 --> 00:15:30,254
Fabiana Udenio: and escape.
423
00:15:30,274 --> 00:15:31,375
Fabiana Udenio: It was like the great escape.
424
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,921
Fabiana Udenio: I never did any call, it's just them, and I
425
00:15:34,961 --> 00:15:37,048
Fabiana Udenio: think it stayed that way throughout my life.
426
00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:41,131
Fabiana Udenio: It's this outlet, amazing outlet and fun,
427
00:15:41,552 --> 00:15:43,980
Fabiana Udenio: addictive escape.
428
00:15:45,104 --> 00:15:45,627
Fabiana Udenio: That's like it.
429
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,322
Marc Preston: Well, that's the thing I coach a lot of
430
00:15:48,984 --> 00:15:49,345
Marc Preston: some students.
431
00:15:49,385 --> 00:15:52,180
Marc Preston: Even an actor is in LA on a voiceover And I
432
00:15:52,220 --> 00:15:53,504
Marc Preston: always say, when you shut the door on that
433
00:15:53,564 --> 00:15:55,911
Marc Preston: sound booth, the whole world stays outside
434
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,244
Marc Preston: And it's just like when you're on camera.
435
00:15:57,264 --> 00:15:59,822
Marc Preston: You can disappear for a moment And to me
436
00:15:59,863 --> 00:16:00,485
Marc Preston: it's cathartic.
437
00:16:01,980 --> 00:16:03,683
Marc Preston: You can kind of disappear and use your
438
00:16:03,703 --> 00:16:05,226
Marc Preston: imagination to be more kid-like.
439
00:16:05,446 --> 00:16:07,250
Fabiana Udenio: Absolutely True.
440
00:16:07,671 --> 00:16:09,514
Fabiana Udenio: True, and I love voiceover too.
441
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,345
Marc Preston: Oh, I noticed you did do some of that
442
00:16:11,365 --> 00:16:11,706
Marc Preston: yourself.
443
00:16:11,727 --> 00:16:11,827
Marc Preston: I did.
444
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:14,065
Fabiana Udenio: I did a lot of it individually, but here
445
00:16:14,125 --> 00:16:17,025
Fabiana Udenio: too, and when you do voiceover, it's even
446
00:16:17,366 --> 00:16:19,211
Fabiana Udenio: more because you don't have to even, not
447
00:16:19,271 --> 00:16:20,543
Fabiana Udenio: even more or less, but you don't have to
448
00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:21,968
Fabiana Udenio: worry about your look.
449
00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:23,940
Fabiana Udenio: It's just sometimes very liberating.
450
00:16:24,241 --> 00:16:25,406
Fabiana Udenio: You know you go with it whatever.
451
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:26,942
Fabiana Udenio: So it's a different.
452
00:16:27,122 --> 00:16:30,592
Fabiana Udenio: but I love all sides of the craft.
453
00:16:30,740 --> 00:16:31,243
Fabiana Udenio: I really do.
454
00:16:31,740 --> 00:16:33,084
Marc Preston: Did your sister follow you into
455
00:16:33,685 --> 00:16:35,109
Marc Preston: entertainment at all, or did she go a
456
00:16:35,129 --> 00:16:35,691
Marc Preston: different path?
457
00:16:36,522 --> 00:16:37,566
Fabiana Udenio: No, she went a different path.
458
00:16:38,260 --> 00:16:40,868
Fabiana Udenio: She liked traveling, so she was a flight
459
00:16:40,888 --> 00:16:44,086
Fabiana Udenio: attendant And she traveled a lot more than
460
00:16:44,146 --> 00:16:44,407
Fabiana Udenio: I did.
461
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,305
Marc Preston: You know, my daughter, my 17-year-old,
462
00:16:47,445 --> 00:16:48,207
Marc Preston: really wants to.
463
00:16:48,268 --> 00:16:48,950
Marc Preston: She has this whole plan.
464
00:16:49,741 --> 00:16:51,386
Marc Preston: She did both her junior and senior year
465
00:16:51,426 --> 00:16:53,883
Marc Preston: together, just wrapped them up And she's
466
00:16:53,904 --> 00:16:55,965
Marc Preston: very smart And she said she wants to travel.
467
00:16:56,180 --> 00:16:58,265
Marc Preston: So she wants to do travel as a flight
468
00:16:58,305 --> 00:16:59,528
Marc Preston: attendant early.
469
00:16:59,568 --> 00:17:01,272
Marc Preston: She's smart, she's all doing my early 20s
470
00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:03,125
Marc Preston: And if I decide it's not for me, then I got
471
00:17:03,145 --> 00:17:03,607
Marc Preston: the degree.
472
00:17:03,647 --> 00:17:05,202
Marc Preston: I can go do something else, but if I like
473
00:17:05,222 --> 00:17:06,206
Marc Preston: it, i'm just going to keep doing it.
474
00:17:06,246 --> 00:17:07,089
Marc Preston: I'll have seniority.
475
00:17:08,944 --> 00:17:10,909
Marc Preston: But I grew up in Dallas, where you have
476
00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:12,942
Marc Preston: American Airlines based there, and I met
477
00:17:13,022 --> 00:17:14,441
Marc Preston: all kinds of flight attendants And I always
478
00:17:14,582 --> 00:17:15,566
Marc Preston: envied their lifestyle.
479
00:17:15,660 --> 00:17:17,326
Marc Preston: They could just go jump on a plane and go
480
00:17:17,386 --> 00:17:18,369
Marc Preston: somewhere if they wanted to.
481
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:19,585
Fabiana Udenio: My sister did love it.
482
00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:21,677
Fabiana Udenio: She was based in Italy, She was working for
483
00:17:21,717 --> 00:17:25,487
Fabiana Udenio: Italy And then at Italy like many things in
484
00:17:25,547 --> 00:17:27,691
Fabiana Udenio: Italy went sort of bankrupt.
485
00:17:27,752 --> 00:17:30,064
Fabiana Udenio: So they downsized And she went into
486
00:17:30,084 --> 00:17:32,441
Fabiana Udenio: retirement from her job a little early And
487
00:17:32,461 --> 00:17:33,786
Fabiana Udenio: she missed it for a long time.
488
00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:35,744
Fabiana Udenio: I missed it too, because I used to get all
489
00:17:35,785 --> 00:17:39,094
Fabiana Udenio: these tickets, free tickets and all these
490
00:17:39,114 --> 00:17:39,475
Fabiana Udenio: perks.
491
00:17:43,547 --> 00:17:44,990
Marc Preston: The family tickets that they get.
492
00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:46,713
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, i missed it too.
493
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,781
Fabiana Udenio: I was very spoiled for a while living here
494
00:17:49,841 --> 00:17:52,883
Fabiana Udenio: and going there just for an objection or to
495
00:17:53,203 --> 00:17:53,543
Fabiana Udenio: whatever.
496
00:18:01,191 --> 00:18:02,815
Marc Preston: Now when you came here you were doing the
497
00:18:02,855 --> 00:18:04,338
Marc Preston: thing a lot of American actors do.
498
00:18:04,726 --> 00:18:06,732
Marc Preston: They have their the kickoff of their career
499
00:18:06,852 --> 00:18:09,289
Marc Preston: on soap operas, and I remember my
500
00:18:09,349 --> 00:18:11,415
Marc Preston: grandmother when I was always over at their
501
00:18:11,455 --> 00:18:13,909
Marc Preston: house at least once a week, stay over, and
502
00:18:13,929 --> 00:18:16,655
Marc Preston: then she was watching General Hospital and
503
00:18:16,715 --> 00:18:18,560
Marc Preston: I think one life till they're That's the
504
00:18:19,141 --> 00:18:20,808
Marc Preston: one I did And yeah, and so it's like I
505
00:18:20,848 --> 00:18:22,866
Marc Preston: became very aware of the character, i mean
506
00:18:22,946 --> 00:18:25,072
Marc Preston: more than probably a eight, nine, 10 year
507
00:18:25,092 --> 00:18:25,733
Marc Preston: old kid should.
508
00:18:25,834 --> 00:18:27,828
Marc Preston: But I think that a lot of kids grew up like
509
00:18:27,869 --> 00:18:28,431
Marc Preston: that, you know.
510
00:18:28,945 --> 00:18:30,592
Marc Preston: But a lot of those actors then and I've
511
00:18:30,632 --> 00:18:33,022
Marc Preston: interviewed a number of them that you are
512
00:18:33,343 --> 00:18:34,869
Marc Preston: doing really well now that had their start
513
00:18:35,551 --> 00:18:37,829
Marc Preston: in soap opera, and the funny thing about
514
00:18:37,849 --> 00:18:39,795
Marc Preston: that is how fast you have to learn the
515
00:18:39,855 --> 00:18:40,256
Marc Preston: scripts.
516
00:18:40,445 --> 00:18:42,010
Marc Preston: I mean, were there any challenges?
517
00:18:42,070 --> 00:18:43,574
Marc Preston: when you went from doing stage to doing
518
00:18:43,615 --> 00:18:44,116
Marc Preston: soap opera?
519
00:18:44,185 --> 00:18:45,969
Marc Preston: You had got a new script frequently and you
520
00:18:45,990 --> 00:18:46,992
Marc Preston: have to learn it pretty quick.
521
00:18:47,032 --> 00:18:47,734
Marc Preston: Was that a challenge?
522
00:18:47,754 --> 00:18:48,757
Fabiana Udenio: for you, absolutely.
523
00:18:49,265 --> 00:18:51,172
Fabiana Udenio: And then the language, because they cast me
524
00:18:51,232 --> 00:18:51,614
Fabiana Udenio: in Italy.
525
00:18:52,847 --> 00:18:55,692
Fabiana Udenio: They were on location and I was supposed
526
00:18:55,712 --> 00:18:58,897
Fabiana Udenio: tothis character was supposed to be working
527
00:18:58,977 --> 00:19:03,012
Fabiana Udenio: fora couple of weeks and then they liked it
528
00:19:03,133 --> 00:19:04,557
Fabiana Udenio: and they offered me the contract.
529
00:19:04,625 --> 00:19:07,975
Fabiana Udenio: So I went well, go to New York and love the
530
00:19:07,995 --> 00:19:08,115
Fabiana Udenio: idea.
531
00:19:08,425 --> 00:19:11,111
Fabiana Udenio: But the work was hard because, yes, you do
532
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:14,217
Fabiana Udenio: have to learn all of that fast and it was
533
00:19:14,257 --> 00:19:14,938
Fabiana Udenio: another language.
534
00:19:15,225 --> 00:19:16,813
Fabiana Udenio: So usually when you're in command of the
535
00:19:16,853 --> 00:19:18,502
Fabiana Udenio: language, if you forget a line, you kind of
536
00:19:18,542 --> 00:19:22,089
Fabiana Udenio: like work around with it, but if I forgot
537
00:19:22,129 --> 00:19:25,005
Fabiana Udenio: the line I couldn't replace it with Well,
538
00:19:25,025 --> 00:19:26,610
Fabiana Udenio: you could improv in Italian and kind of
539
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:27,833
Fabiana Udenio: give it a little something extra.
540
00:19:27,853 --> 00:19:29,847
Fabiana Udenio: Yeah, I could, but it was a little bit more
541
00:19:29,867 --> 00:19:32,975
Fabiana Udenio: challenging because you don't have a word
542
00:19:33,015 --> 00:19:35,189
Fabiana Udenio: that you can substitute and go on with the
543
00:19:35,229 --> 00:19:37,035
Fabiana Udenio: line or work around.
544
00:19:38,290 --> 00:19:42,870
Fabiana Udenio: So it was, and it taught me it was great
545
00:19:45,735 --> 00:19:49,220
Fabiana Udenio: practice for improving the language English.
546
00:19:49,785 --> 00:19:51,349
Marc Preston: Now, summer school had to come and that was
547
00:19:51,429 --> 00:19:54,877
Marc Preston: 87, I think was that roughly 87, 86, 87.
548
00:19:55,345 --> 00:19:56,490
Marc Preston: What was filming that like?
549
00:19:56,706 --> 00:19:58,715
Marc Preston: Because me, as a Gen X kid I think anybody
550
00:19:58,795 --> 00:20:00,925
Marc Preston: listening to this who is of a similar age
551
00:20:01,045 --> 00:20:02,791
Marc Preston: to me is thinking like if I don't ask, I'm
552
00:20:02,811 --> 00:20:03,514
Marc Preston: going to get in trouble.
553
00:20:03,945 --> 00:20:07,612
Marc Preston: What was it like shooting that film that I
554
00:20:07,632 --> 00:20:08,735
Marc Preston: guess y'all shot during the summer?
555
00:20:08,895 --> 00:20:09,416
Fabiana Udenio: Absolutely.
556
00:20:09,677 --> 00:20:10,398
Fabiana Udenio: Was it the summer?
557
00:20:10,965 --> 00:20:13,911
Fabiana Udenio: It wasn't that warm, but I can't remember
558
00:20:14,573 --> 00:20:17,078
Fabiana Udenio: what time of the year, maybe late summer,
559
00:20:17,098 --> 00:20:19,497
Fabiana Udenio: or because it wasn't really hot.
560
00:20:19,538 --> 00:20:20,484
Fabiana Udenio: I remember being on the beach.
561
00:20:20,545 --> 00:20:21,829
Marc Preston: Well, then again in Southern California it
562
00:20:21,849 --> 00:20:22,932
Marc Preston: always looks like summer, right.
563
00:20:23,945 --> 00:20:25,109
Fabiana Udenio: So, but I remember what it was called and I
564
00:20:25,149 --> 00:20:27,990
Fabiana Udenio: remember I was cold, so but it could happen
565
00:20:28,010 --> 00:20:28,773
Fabiana Udenio: that it was a cold day.
566
00:20:28,845 --> 00:20:31,730
Fabiana Udenio: I just remember being cold, but it was
567
00:20:31,790 --> 00:20:32,031
Fabiana Udenio: great.
568
00:20:32,586 --> 00:20:35,654
Fabiana Udenio: Carl Reiner was like a father figure for
569
00:20:35,874 --> 00:20:36,556
Fabiana Udenio: all of us.
570
00:20:37,567 --> 00:20:40,748
Marc Preston: Oh, that's right, You only had a very small
571
00:20:40,848 --> 00:20:42,533
Marc Preston: role at the very beginning, but he directed
572
00:20:42,553 --> 00:20:42,713
Marc Preston: that.
573
00:20:42,773 --> 00:20:43,756
Marc Preston: Totally forgot about that.
574
00:20:44,065 --> 00:20:46,926
Fabiana Udenio: He directed that movie, yes, and then Frank
575
00:20:46,966 --> 00:20:51,547
Fabiana Udenio: Ling from Full House wrote it And so Carl
576
00:20:51,567 --> 00:20:54,913
Fabiana Udenio: Reiner directed it and it was just a very,
577
00:20:55,193 --> 00:21:00,808
Fabiana Udenio: very fun set to be around And you felt
578
00:21:00,848 --> 00:21:03,654
Fabiana Udenio: completely safe and he allowed us to
579
00:21:03,775 --> 00:21:07,309
Fabiana Udenio: improvise And Marc Harman was a class act,
580
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:10,296
Fabiana Udenio: but all the kids they had a lot of fun.
581
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:12,588
Fabiana Udenio: The two would change And we actually just
582
00:21:12,628 --> 00:21:17,659
Fabiana Udenio: had an autograph signing and they were
583
00:21:17,739 --> 00:21:21,190
Fabiana Udenio: talking about how much they were having fun
584
00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:22,347
Fabiana Udenio: And I was having fun too.
585
00:21:22,387 --> 00:21:28,502
Fabiana Udenio: But much like my character, my command of
586
00:21:28,542 --> 00:21:30,527
Fabiana Udenio: the language, especially when it's about
587
00:21:30,687 --> 00:21:33,627
Fabiana Udenio: comedy wasn't 100%, so a lot of the stuff
588
00:21:33,647 --> 00:21:35,754
Fabiana Udenio: that we're laughing about I didn't really
589
00:21:35,814 --> 00:21:39,513
Fabiana Udenio: get, and so sometimes I was feeling left
590
00:21:39,653 --> 00:21:40,957
Fabiana Udenio: out of the joke.
591
00:21:41,325 --> 00:21:43,812
Marc Preston: Well, i think that probably was what was
592
00:21:44,013 --> 00:21:45,666
Marc Preston: part of the humor of the film, like you
593
00:21:45,686 --> 00:21:47,430
Marc Preston: weren't totally getting, especially when
594
00:21:47,450 --> 00:21:49,556
Marc Preston: they were showing you the horror film.
595
00:21:50,206 --> 00:21:51,810
Marc Preston: Yes, but it was like, okay, how's she going
596
00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:52,472
Marc Preston: to digest that?
597
00:21:52,492 --> 00:21:53,555
Marc Preston: she loves it, yes.
598
00:21:55,869 --> 00:21:56,290
Fabiana Udenio: And all the.
599
00:21:56,992 --> 00:21:58,096
Fabiana Udenio: It was a talented cast.
600
00:21:58,706 --> 00:22:01,653
Fabiana Udenio: These kids were, you know, and Carl Reiner
601
00:22:01,713 --> 00:22:03,377
Fabiana Udenio: just a father figure for all.
602
00:22:03,945 --> 00:22:09,056
Fabiana Udenio: It was a really wonderful, warm, welcoming
603
00:22:09,977 --> 00:22:10,318
Fabiana Udenio: set.
604
00:22:10,805 --> 00:22:12,490
Marc Preston: I just I'm so envious you had a chance to
605
00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:14,575
Marc Preston: act with and for Carl.
606
00:22:14,595 --> 00:22:15,526
Fabiana Udenio: Reiner You know.
607
00:22:15,626 --> 00:22:17,051
Marc Preston: Everybody in his family seems to be as
608
00:22:17,432 --> 00:22:18,234
Marc Preston: talented as well.
609
00:22:18,805 --> 00:22:20,170
Marc Preston: But, so, so do you start.
610
00:22:20,190 --> 00:22:22,508
Marc Preston: Are you still recognized for that Of the
611
00:22:22,548 --> 00:22:23,351
Marc Preston: things you've done?
612
00:22:23,391 --> 00:22:25,500
Marc Preston: when people meet you, what is it that they
613
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,407
Marc Preston: like immediately jump to?
614
00:22:27,547 --> 00:22:29,853
Marc Preston: or when it comes to things on your resume?
615
00:22:29,933 --> 00:22:32,932
Fabiana Udenio: It's so hard Sometimes you sometimes you
616
00:22:32,952 --> 00:22:34,320
Fabiana Udenio: look familiar and you don't want to go
617
00:22:34,380 --> 00:22:36,632
Fabiana Udenio: through your resume because you're just
618
00:22:36,652 --> 00:22:38,381
Fabiana Udenio: going to start going and then maybe they
619
00:22:38,421 --> 00:22:39,807
Fabiana Udenio: know you because you were shopping in the
620
00:22:39,827 --> 00:22:41,012
Fabiana Udenio: same Marcet or something.
621
00:22:42,947 --> 00:22:45,311
Fabiana Udenio: So the thing that for a while it was summer
622
00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:50,725
Fabiana Udenio: school and then it was awesome powers, so
623
00:22:50,845 --> 00:22:53,990
Fabiana Udenio: that's probably the one that.
624
00:22:56,013 --> 00:23:01,220
Fabiana Udenio: And when I'm, when I'm not dressed up or no
625
00:23:01,260 --> 00:23:03,349
Fabiana Udenio: makeup or anything, people kind of they
626
00:23:03,369 --> 00:23:05,975
Fabiana Udenio: can't quite place it because I look so
627
00:23:06,035 --> 00:23:06,376
Fabiana Udenio: different.
628
00:23:07,645 --> 00:23:11,398
Fabiana Udenio: So I mean I look, yes, so so natural that
629
00:23:11,438 --> 00:23:13,585
Fabiana Udenio: they can't quite put two and two together
630
00:23:13,685 --> 00:23:14,147
Fabiana Udenio: with that.
631
00:23:15,485 --> 00:23:19,514
Fabiana Udenio: And then some people more recently were
632
00:23:19,574 --> 00:23:21,885
Fabiana Udenio: very, very big fans of Jane Divergent, so
633
00:23:21,925 --> 00:23:27,368
Fabiana Udenio: that had a really loyal following And so
634
00:23:27,408 --> 00:23:29,895
Fabiana Udenio: they were thinking of me.
635
00:23:30,778 --> 00:23:32,222
Fabiana Udenio: They were thinking about that one when they
636
00:23:32,262 --> 00:23:33,888
Fabiana Udenio: were, when they were seeing me.
637
00:23:35,405 --> 00:23:36,830
Marc Preston: Or is there a preference you've had over
638
00:23:36,850 --> 00:23:37,151
Marc Preston: the years?
639
00:23:37,192 --> 00:23:39,279
Marc Preston: since you have had so many years of
640
00:23:39,649 --> 00:23:40,804
Marc Preston: experience, different kind of projects?
641
00:23:40,945 --> 00:23:42,612
Marc Preston: Do you prefer the comedy thing or do you
642
00:23:42,633 --> 00:23:45,364
Marc Preston: prefer more dramatic roles, or is it really
643
00:23:45,384 --> 00:23:46,509
Marc Preston: making that much of a difference to you?
644
00:23:47,005 --> 00:23:47,970
Fabiana Udenio: I prefer drama.
645
00:23:48,565 --> 00:23:52,073
Fabiana Udenio: I think comedy is really hard because you
646
00:23:52,153 --> 00:23:54,137
Fabiana Udenio: never know until you see with an audience
647
00:23:54,157 --> 00:23:55,568
Fabiana Udenio: whether it works or not.
648
00:23:57,066 --> 00:24:00,555
Fabiana Udenio: But I have a good sense of humor and I've
649
00:24:00,575 --> 00:24:01,597
Fabiana Udenio: done a lot of work in comedy.
650
00:24:01,625 --> 00:24:02,884
Fabiana Udenio: I've done a lot of work in sitcoms.
651
00:24:02,945 --> 00:24:05,991
Fabiana Udenio: I mean I was able to survive as an actor
652
00:24:06,352 --> 00:24:09,399
Fabiana Udenio: doing a lot of sitcoms comedy because it's
653
00:24:09,525 --> 00:24:11,853
Fabiana Udenio: hard to find a woman at the time.
654
00:24:12,565 --> 00:24:14,228
Fabiana Udenio: If you're attractive and you can do comedy,
655
00:24:14,248 --> 00:24:17,875
Fabiana Udenio: you can kind of find a niche.
656
00:24:20,725 --> 00:24:24,794
Fabiana Udenio: So I've abused that.
657
00:24:26,886 --> 00:24:31,158
Fabiana Udenio: But my essence is more for the drama thing.
658
00:24:31,746 --> 00:24:33,694
Marc Preston: Well, actually the first episode of Foo Bar,
659
00:24:34,176 --> 00:24:36,505
Marc Preston: you weren't really focusing on any comedy.
660
00:24:36,926 --> 00:24:38,973

00:24:51,085 --> 00:24:52,410
Marc Preston: While she's on her phone she's half paying
667
00:24:52,430 --> 00:24:52,772
Marc Preston: attention.
668
00:24:54,208 --> 00:24:55,612

673
00:25:04,872 --> 00:25:06,702
Fabiana Udenio: I'm single mom and divorced and for a long
674
00:25:06,742 --> 00:25:08,229
Fabiana Udenio: time I did put family first.
675
00:25:09,426 --> 00:25:16,736
Fabiana Udenio: I had to sort of prioritize how to do that
676
00:25:16,877 --> 00:25:18,599
Fabiana Udenio: if you want to delegate parenthood or if
677
00:25:18,639 --> 00:25:19,681
Fabiana Udenio: you want to do it yourself.
678
00:25:20,067 --> 00:25:20,871

00:25:26,207 --> 00:25:27,051
Marc Preston: So what is it like for you now?

00:25:27,245 --> 00:25:28,790
Marc Preston: He's probably looking at college and
684
00:25:28,830 --> 00:25:29,873
Marc Preston: looking at what's next.
685
00:25:31,709 --> 00:25:36,048
Fabiana Udenio: My son is on the autism spectrum, so that's
686
00:25:36,068 --> 00:25:37,671
Fabiana Udenio: why he took a little bit more involvement
687
00:25:38,452 --> 00:25:43,599
Fabiana Udenio: on my side to allow him to blossom and grow.
688
00:25:43,619 --> 00:25:45,067
Fabiana Udenio: Especially at the beginning, early
689
00:25:45,087 --> 00:25:48,007
Fabiana Udenio: intervention is very crucial, so I decided
690
00:25:48,048 --> 00:25:50,113
Fabiana Udenio: that that was going to be my priority.
691
00:25:52,125 --> 00:25:54,345
Fabiana Udenio: It had its challenges and amazing rewards,
692
00:25:55,248 --> 00:25:56,132

715
00:26:40,612 --> 00:26:41,133

Fabiana Udenio: What is the big deal?
718
00:26:44,246 --> 00:26:45,629
Marc Preston: And so kids on the spectrum, don't they

Marc Preston: routine, based, you know lifestyle?
721
00:26:50,978 --> 00:26:54,090

722
00:26:54,170 --> 00:26:57,326
Fabiana Udenio: oh my God, we could do this in Nacapucco So
723
00:26:57,346 --> 00:26:59,431
Fabiana Udenio: because he enjoyed being in Toronto with me
724
00:26:59,532 --> 00:27:02,118
Fabiana Udenio: filming he actually and when I started
725
00:27:02,285 --> 00:27:04,755
Fabiana Udenio: involving him too much on sort of the
726
00:27:04,815 --> 00:27:07,083
Fabiana Udenio: roller coaster that could can be being an
727
00:27:07,184 --> 00:27:11,054
Fabiana Udenio: actor and auditioning, i saw that that
728
00:27:11,094 --> 00:27:11,836

729
00:27:12,145 --> 00:27:12,406
Fabiana Udenio: He did.
730
00:27:12,426 --> 00:27:13,709
Fabiana Udenio: You know, i better keep it.
731
00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:16,155
Fabiana Udenio: It's hard enough for me to know maybe I'll
732
00:27:16,196 --> 00:27:18,245
Fabiana Udenio: go there, maybe and maybe not.
733
00:27:18,265 --> 00:27:19,429
Fabiana Udenio: Maybe I'll get this, maybe not.
734
00:27:19,851 --> 00:27:22,782
Fabiana Udenio: That I could see that it was stressful for
735
00:27:22,862 --> 00:27:25,049
Fabiana Udenio: him to think of me, maybe and maybe not,
736
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:27,689
Fabiana Udenio: and him being The actor's life isn't for
737
00:27:27,729 --> 00:27:28,110
Fabiana Udenio: everybody.
738
00:27:28,271 --> 00:27:31,069

739
00:27:31,089 --> 00:27:32,954
Fabiana Udenio: to do something and tell him, but not if I
740
00:27:33,315 --> 00:27:34,317
Fabiana Udenio: maybe will be doing this.
741
00:27:34,625 --> 00:27:36,691
Fabiana Udenio: Maybe I realized that that wasn't the right
742
00:27:36,972 --> 00:27:40,091
Fabiana Udenio: thing to go, and since this is such a big
743

751
00:27:54,885 --> 00:27:58,127

00:28:10,426 --> 00:28:14,416

Fabiana Udenio: a lot of pasta, you know.
808
00:29:41,785 --> 00:29:43,852
Fabiana Udenio: But I've had the same weight all of my life.
809
00:29:44,565 --> 00:29:47,093
Fabiana Udenio: So she always tells me that I snack a lot
810
00:29:47,133 --> 00:29:48,476
Fabiana Udenio: and maybe I eat in the middle of the night.
811
00:29:48,565 --> 00:29:50,567

00:35:19,935 --> 00:35:20,295
Fabiana Udenio: business.
977
00:35:21,085 --> 00:35:22,410
Fabiana Udenio: I liked the.
978
00:35:23,765 --> 00:35:25,426
Fabiana Udenio: It's an unpredictable business, but when I
979
00:35:25,486 --> 00:35:28,332
Fabiana Udenio: was growing up in Italy, there was a lot of
980
00:35:28,393 --> 00:35:31,326
Fabiana Udenio: nepotism and a lot of oh my God, talk about
981
00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:31,707
Fabiana Udenio: me too.
982
00:35:32,405 --> 00:35:35,778
Fabiana Udenio: You multiply that You, you, you
983
00:35:36,038 --> 00:35:37,321
Fabiana Udenio: exponentially in Italy.
984
00:35:37,782 --> 00:35:40,407
Fabiana Udenio: So I didn't like they just didn't make any.
985
00:35:40,488 --> 00:35:42,347
Fabiana Udenio: Most of the times Auditions didn't matter
986
00:35:42,367 --> 00:35:44,058
Fabiana Udenio: and it's who you know, how do you know them,
987
00:35:44,138 --> 00:35:45,463
Fabiana Udenio: and and all of that.
988
00:35:45,684 --> 00:35:48,815
Fabiana Udenio: It really didn't fly well for me here.
989
00:35:49,256 --> 00:35:51,684
Fabiana Udenio: I was finding that I was more appreciated
990
00:35:51,764 --> 00:35:55,104
Fabiana Udenio: and respected, although it wasn't my life
991
00:35:55,204 --> 00:35:55,887
Fabiana Udenio: and funny enough.
992
00:35:55,927 --> 00:35:57,473
Fabiana Udenio: So every time I would go I would work a
993
00:35:57,514 --> 00:36:00,203
Fabiana Udenio: little bit But but it didn't really click.
994
00:36:00,263 --> 00:36:01,607
Fabiana Udenio: Or I would have some great audition and
995
00:36:01,748 --> 00:36:03,173
Fabiana Udenio: somebody else would get it because there
996
00:36:03,193 --> 00:36:06,160
Fabiana Udenio: were this or that And so that kind of stung
997
00:36:06,220 --> 00:36:08,485
Fabiana Udenio: me and here it was more predictable.
998
00:36:08,505 --> 00:36:09,848
Fabiana Udenio: It was more competitive and more
999
00:36:09,868 --> 00:36:10,309
Fabiana Udenio: predictable.
00:36:10,335 --> 00:36:13,865
Fabiana Udenio: So I liked the business aspect and the fact
00:36:13,905 --> 00:36:19,982
Fabiana Udenio: that I Was respected for What it was your
00:36:20,023 --> 00:36:21,929
Fabiana Udenio: audition for things, and over there you
00:36:21,989 --> 00:36:22,230
Fabiana Udenio: don't.
00:36:22,450 --> 00:36:23,835
Fabiana Udenio: Oh, it did, it's different now.
00:36:24,116 --> 00:36:33,359
Marc Preston: Well, Well, you see, here it's, you know
00:36:34,061 --> 00:36:34,161
Marc Preston: it's.
00:36:34,422 --> 00:36:35,825
Marc Preston: It's really interesting the way things have
00:36:35,865 --> 00:36:38,256
Marc Preston: evolved, because when you're young You're
00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:40,661
Marc Preston: teens or early 20s It was different than
00:36:40,701 --> 00:36:40,962
Marc Preston: now.
00:36:41,062 --> 00:36:43,908
Marc Preston: If you have two actors of equal talent but
00:36:44,028 --> 00:36:47,491
Marc Preston: one has 20,000 people follow on Instagram,
00:36:47,511 --> 00:36:50,279
Marc Preston: another one has About 10 million, that's
00:36:50,299 --> 00:36:51,081
Marc Preston: gonna factor in.
00:36:51,141 --> 00:36:52,604
Marc Preston: It's a whole different world than it used
00:36:52,624 --> 00:36:54,488
Marc Preston: to be and I can't imagine having to be an
00:36:54,568 --> 00:36:57,079
Marc Preston: actor and working nonstop and keeping up
00:36:57,099 --> 00:36:58,685
Marc Preston: with social media and all that is.
00:37:03,677 --> 00:37:05,524
Fabiana Udenio: It's so high coffee just thinking about it
00:37:10,155 --> 00:37:10,657
Fabiana Udenio: Mentioning.
00:37:11,460 --> 00:37:13,869
Fabiana Udenio: And then I try hard and then I see someone
00:37:13,889 --> 00:37:16,557
Fabiana Udenio: else doing something so creative And I go
00:37:16,597 --> 00:37:17,399
Fabiana Udenio: how do you do that?
00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:18,322
Fabiana Udenio: and then I do it wrong.
00:37:18,342 --> 00:37:22,477
Fabiana Udenio: I mean, it's really hard and I Enjoy it.
00:37:22,578 --> 00:37:25,325
Fabiana Udenio: It is addictive and you've got to learn.
00:37:25,345 --> 00:37:26,207
Fabiana Udenio: You have to be open.
00:37:26,367 --> 00:37:29,320
Fabiana Udenio: But There is something sort of
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,086
Fabiana Udenio: contradictory to being an actor and getting
00:37:32,206 --> 00:37:36,462
Fabiana Udenio: out of yourself, to having to talk about
00:37:36,482 --> 00:37:37,946
Fabiana Udenio: what you have for breakfast and just
00:37:38,026 --> 00:37:40,855
Fabiana Udenio: self-indulging, just everything that to me.
00:37:41,359 --> 00:37:43,055
Fabiana Udenio: But I'd rather not, i'd rather you know.
00:37:43,055 --> 00:37:45,384
Marc Preston: So yeah, there's that, that the mystique of
00:37:45,459 --> 00:37:46,276
Marc Preston: the performer.
00:37:46,351 --> 00:37:48,207
Marc Preston: That I think makes like you look at that a
00:37:48,281 --> 00:37:50,721
Marc Preston: denier or Pacino or those guys They're.
00:37:50,841 --> 00:37:51,523
Marc Preston: You don't see them on.
00:37:51,823 --> 00:37:53,367
Marc Preston: I don't assume they're on social media a
00:37:53,407 --> 00:37:56,021
Marc Preston: lot, but it's.
00:37:56,121 --> 00:37:57,755
Marc Preston: It's kind of like something we want.
00:37:57,795 --> 00:37:59,324
Marc Preston: I mean, we want a little bit more of the
00:37:59,384 --> 00:38:01,335
Marc Preston: person than just the two hours in the film
00:38:01,756 --> 00:38:03,723
Marc Preston: But at the same time we still like that
00:38:03,743 --> 00:38:04,486
Marc Preston: mystique being there.
00:38:04,526 --> 00:38:05,831
Fabiana Udenio: I think maybe that's part of our
00:38:05,871 --> 00:38:08,378
Fabiana Udenio: personalities I'm not sure, and it's not
00:38:08,438 --> 00:38:10,082
Fabiana Udenio: something that it's, it's not that much
00:38:10,162 --> 00:38:10,262
Fabiana Udenio: It's.
00:38:10,443 --> 00:38:12,948
Fabiana Udenio: it's more work than actually acting to have
00:38:13,008 --> 00:38:16,323
Fabiana Udenio: to Think about that's actually tedious for
00:38:16,363 --> 00:38:19,593
Fabiana Udenio: me to have to post and tag and repost, and
00:38:19,633 --> 00:38:22,503
Fabiana Udenio: it's, it's fun And and so you're making me
00:38:22,543 --> 00:38:24,189
Fabiana Udenio: feel so good right now because I have to do
00:38:24,209 --> 00:38:25,494
Fabiana Udenio: that with with this show and the other
00:38:25,694 --> 00:38:26,318
Fabiana Udenio: things I do.
00:38:26,399 --> 00:38:26,801
Marc Preston: I have to do.
00:38:26,862 --> 00:38:27,788
Marc Preston: I'm like, oh my god, I just don't want to
00:38:27,808 --> 00:38:28,815
Marc Preston: do what do I say?
00:38:29,075 --> 00:38:29,757
Marc Preston: I don't know I do.
00:38:29,777 --> 00:38:30,760
Marc Preston: What picture do I post?
00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:33,025
Marc Preston: I mean, i you know, in my dog, my 17 year
00:38:33,065 --> 00:38:34,168
Marc Preston: old, with the interesting thing is she
00:38:34,215 --> 00:38:35,298
Marc Preston: Doesn't want me taking her picture or
00:38:35,359 --> 00:38:36,302
Marc Preston: posting it anywhere.
00:38:36,382 --> 00:38:37,646
Marc Preston: She only looks, she doesn't post.
00:38:38,036 --> 00:38:39,579
Marc Preston: She's the anti-teenager in that way.
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:41,784
Marc Preston: I was thinking the anti-influencer I want
00:38:41,824 --> 00:38:45,218
Marc Preston: to be an anti-influencer, which would make
00:38:45,278 --> 00:38:47,445
Marc Preston: you in a way, ironically, an influencer.
00:38:51,458 --> 00:38:53,954
Marc Preston: But one thing I'm curious about with foobar
00:38:53,974 --> 00:38:56,442
Marc Preston: now I want to know how that project came to
00:38:56,502 --> 00:38:57,806
Marc Preston: you, or did you audition for it?
00:38:57,835 --> 00:38:58,338
Marc Preston: Did somebody?
00:38:58,378 --> 00:38:59,625
Marc Preston: does somebody reach out to you say, hey, we
00:38:59,645 --> 00:38:59,886
Marc Preston: have this.
00:39:00,148 --> 00:39:01,455
Marc Preston: I think you're right for this thing.
00:39:01,636 --> 00:39:02,739
Marc Preston: How did that come together for you?
00:39:02,799 --> 00:39:06,998
Fabiana Udenio: It was an audition and it was Called at the
00:39:07,038 --> 00:39:08,542
Fabiana Udenio: time the untitled honor Schwarzman a
00:39:08,562 --> 00:39:13,918
Fabiana Udenio: project, and I was immediately Curious and
00:39:13,998 --> 00:39:14,761
Fabiana Udenio: attracted to it.
00:39:14,822 --> 00:39:18,540
Fabiana Udenio: And then There were two long scenes that I
00:39:18,580 --> 00:39:20,463
Fabiana Udenio: had to prepare for the audition and it was
00:39:20,523 --> 00:39:23,068
Fabiana Udenio: a self tape because it's the age of COVID
00:39:23,148 --> 00:39:25,439
Fabiana Udenio: and that's When it was going on.
00:39:25,459 --> 00:39:28,289
Fabiana Udenio: You know you don't need anybody and so
00:39:28,309 --> 00:39:28,790
Fabiana Udenio: would you.
00:39:28,811 --> 00:39:30,095
Marc Preston: You know an LA and LA.
00:39:30,255 --> 00:39:31,681
Marc Preston: That's got to be nice because you don't
00:39:31,701 --> 00:39:32,805
Marc Preston: have to go through driving.
00:39:33,066 --> 00:39:34,713
Marc Preston: And then you got to make sure that
00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:36,198
Marc Preston: everything's shot Right with the lighting.
00:39:36,218 --> 00:39:36,921
Marc Preston: You want to look at it?
00:39:37,062 --> 00:39:37,484
Marc Preston: look nice.
00:39:38,797 --> 00:39:40,363
Marc Preston: Do you like this self-tape thing or do you
00:39:40,443 --> 00:39:41,407
Marc Preston: do prefer to be in the room?
00:39:41,588 --> 00:39:42,210
Fabiana Udenio: I didn't.
00:39:42,351 --> 00:39:43,315
Fabiana Udenio: I'm getting used to that too.
00:39:43,455 --> 00:39:44,297
Fabiana Udenio: I didn't it.
00:39:44,798 --> 00:39:47,124
Fabiana Udenio: It's like acting in a vacuum a little bit.
00:39:47,204 --> 00:39:48,608
Fabiana Udenio: I, you know it's like, you don't you know
00:39:48,648 --> 00:39:48,788
Fabiana Udenio: like.
00:39:49,436 --> 00:39:51,300
Fabiana Udenio: But there are some good things too, you
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:51,460
Fabiana Udenio: know.
00:39:51,501 --> 00:39:52,282
Fabiana Udenio: You get to see what you.
00:39:52,403 --> 00:39:54,547
Fabiana Udenio: I used to obsess about what I did in the
00:39:54,608 --> 00:39:54,928
Fabiana Udenio: audition.
00:39:55,015 --> 00:39:55,859
Fabiana Udenio: How did I sound?
00:39:56,496 --> 00:39:57,478
Fabiana Udenio: What choices did I make?
00:39:57,519 --> 00:39:59,063
Fabiana Udenio: did I do what I thought I did?
00:39:59,123 --> 00:40:00,446
Fabiana Udenio: and then you forget because you're in the
00:40:00,486 --> 00:40:02,343
Fabiana Udenio: moment And now I know what I do.
00:40:02,866 --> 00:40:06,016
Fabiana Udenio: So in a way, it's a lot easier to I liked
00:40:06,096 --> 00:40:06,177
Fabiana Udenio: it.
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:07,900
Fabiana Udenio: If they didn't get it, if they didn't
00:40:08,001 --> 00:40:09,484
Fabiana Udenio: choose me, you know it's their loss,
00:40:09,524 --> 00:40:11,147
Fabiana Udenio: because I like what I did or I could do
00:40:11,187 --> 00:40:11,668
Fabiana Udenio: better next.
00:40:12,798 --> 00:40:15,005
Fabiana Udenio: So it's, it's a little bit more control,
00:40:16,537 --> 00:40:21,482
Fabiana Udenio: but I miss The in-person meetings.
00:40:21,582 --> 00:40:23,911
Fabiana Udenio: But so this the way football came about was
00:40:24,072 --> 00:40:27,281
Fabiana Udenio: a self tape, and and they gave us, they
00:40:27,301 --> 00:40:29,526
Fabiana Udenio: gave me some time to prepare, which was
00:40:29,606 --> 00:40:34,219
Fabiana Udenio: nice, and I immediately liked the character
00:40:34,299 --> 00:40:36,524
Fabiana Udenio: because it had a lot in common with some of
00:40:36,584 --> 00:40:39,999
Fabiana Udenio: that of who I am, unlike many other
00:40:40,019 --> 00:40:41,465
Fabiana Udenio: characters that I've done in the past
00:40:42,495 --> 00:40:44,883
Fabiana Udenio: romantic side, her vulnerability in
00:40:44,923 --> 00:40:47,780
Fabiana Udenio: strength, and The fact that she puts family
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:55,297
Fabiana Udenio: first, the fact that She, she's passionate
00:40:55,517 --> 00:40:58,446
Fabiana Udenio: and unpredictable many things that I felt
00:40:58,486 --> 00:41:01,621
Fabiana Udenio: like They were, that I could draw from my
00:41:01,681 --> 00:41:03,226
Fabiana Udenio: own personal life, so that was nice.
00:41:03,816 --> 00:41:05,181
Marc Preston: Well, like I said, i've only seen the first
00:41:05,261 --> 00:41:06,766
Marc Preston: episode, but it seems like this is somebody,
00:41:06,807 --> 00:41:08,372
Marc Preston: a character, who really is holding their
00:41:08,492 --> 00:41:09,275
Marc Preston: own with short snagger.
00:41:09,455 --> 00:41:12,463
Marc Preston: She's actually in some way has, as my
00:41:12,483 --> 00:41:14,347
Marc Preston: people say, chutzpah, yeah, no she's, you
00:41:14,408 --> 00:41:14,528
Marc Preston: know.
00:41:15,636 --> 00:41:17,022
Marc Preston: Because the like again.
00:41:17,062 --> 00:41:18,107
Marc Preston: I've only seen the first episode.
00:41:18,127 --> 00:41:19,613
Marc Preston: But you're, you're divorced or you're no
00:41:19,634 --> 00:41:21,178
Marc Preston: longer together, but you're still sort of
00:41:21,258 --> 00:41:21,558
Marc Preston: in a right.
00:41:21,579 --> 00:41:22,901
Marc Preston: You know it's kind of.
00:41:23,282 --> 00:41:24,726
Marc Preston: In the first episode It's not totally clear
00:41:24,766 --> 00:41:26,229
Marc Preston: on what this relationship is.
00:41:27,736 --> 00:41:32,221
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, you're so Insightful by getting all of
00:41:32,241 --> 00:41:33,386
Fabiana Udenio: that just from the first episode.
00:41:33,747 --> 00:41:35,534
Fabiana Udenio: It is true, this is the guy that wants her
00:41:35,555 --> 00:41:35,635
Fabiana Udenio: back.
00:41:35,835 --> 00:41:38,522

Fabiana Udenio: knocking, you know like always there first.
00:41:40,788 --> 00:41:42,492
Fabiana Udenio: And then there's still this great
00:41:42,512 --> 00:41:43,555
Fabiana Udenio: connection that they had.
00:41:43,655 --> 00:41:45,709

00:41:45,729 --> 00:41:49,140
Fabiana Udenio: They really truly Had it, but he's
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:50,603
Fabiana Udenio: disappointed her so many times.
00:41:50,663 --> 00:41:52,867
Fabiana Udenio: She's detached now and say, okay, this guy

Fabiana Udenio: and she's moved on.
00:42:00,796 --> 00:42:06,980
Fabiana Udenio: So part of the challenge was Being that
00:42:07,635 --> 00:42:10,008
Fabiana Udenio: Comfortable and around Arnold without
00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:13,383

00:42:13,403 --> 00:42:14,728
Fabiana Udenio: definitely got a presence about him.
00:42:14,748 --> 00:42:16,334

Marc Preston: Personalized license plate says terminator.
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,687
Marc Preston: I'm like this guy is not bashful whatsoever,
00:42:33,728 --> 00:42:35,323
Marc Preston: in the slightest But but it is a different
00:42:35,343 --> 00:42:36,129

Marc Preston: we're traditionally used to sing from you
00:42:42,354 --> 00:42:46,127
Marc Preston: as well, and I think that's kind of what
00:42:46,167 --> 00:42:46,769
Marc Preston: makes it fun.
00:42:46,809 --> 00:42:47,411
Marc Preston: It's a little bit different.
00:42:47,431 --> 00:42:48,274
Marc Preston: and but I am curious, for if we were to hit
00:42:48,294 --> 00:42:52,782

00:43:15,100 --> 00:43:16,694
Fabiana Udenio: personality and a little bit of an
00:43:16,754 --> 00:43:22,082
Fabiana Udenio: emotional roller coaster And it really is a
00:43:22,122 --> 00:43:24,030
Fabiana Udenio: gift to get a role like this at this time.
00:43:24,130 --> 00:43:25,695
Fabiana Udenio: And yes, of course you.
00:43:26,197 --> 00:43:28,512

Fabiana Udenio: seeing her daughter make her own the same
00:43:31,660 --> 00:43:36,482

00:43:46,114 --> 00:43:46,957

00:48:05,270 --> 00:48:05,853
Marc Preston: It's just got to be.
00:48:05,893 --> 00:48:06,837
Marc Preston: It's just got to be one.
00:48:07,010 --> 00:48:08,877
Marc Preston: Maybe, if you got a couple, we'll allow an
00:48:08,957 --> 00:48:09,319
Marc Preston: extra one.
00:48:09,510 --> 00:48:13,119
Fabiana Udenio: I would bring Barefoot in the Park and what?

Fabiana Udenio: that's a movie, and then what else?
00:48:16,274 --> 00:48:18,360
Marc Preston: A CD or an album, something from music.
00:48:18,430 --> 00:48:19,815
Marc Preston: And even if you want to throw, some people
00:48:19,875 --> 00:48:21,180
Marc Preston: don't really think of CDs or music.
00:48:21,210 --> 00:48:22,556
Marc Preston: They also want to put a book in there.
00:48:22,630 --> 00:48:24,674
Marc Preston: They like, they like to read, but yeah,
00:48:24,735 --> 00:48:26,382
Marc Preston: something musically, an album that you
00:48:26,402 --> 00:48:27,005
Marc Preston: would like to bring.

Fabiana Udenio: police, And then a book.
00:48:32,492 --> 00:48:35,279
Fabiana Udenio: it would be something like maybe Cedar, the
00:48:35,319 --> 00:48:37,423
Fabiana Udenio: road less traveled, or something like that.
00:48:37,751 --> 00:48:40,700
Marc Preston: Now, if the next question, if you were to
00:48:40,870 --> 00:48:41,835

Fabiana Udenio: my son going to bed early or something, or
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:18,102

Fabiana Udenio: very much, so I do it all at home, which is
00:49:27,477 --> 00:49:28,119
Fabiana Udenio: still boring.
00:49:29,852 --> 00:49:32,746
Fabiana Udenio: And then, oh my God, getting a phone call

00:49:40,681 --> 00:49:40,762
Fabiana Udenio: that.
00:49:41,530 --> 00:49:44,296

Marc Preston: Is that a good thing to say?
00:50:24,948 --> 00:50:25,450
Marc Preston: Does it sound accurate?
00:50:26,312 --> 00:50:26,653
Marc Preston: I wonder?
00:50:26,693 --> 00:50:29,300
Fabiana Udenio: what I would be curious to hear what other
00:50:29,340 --> 00:50:30,142
Fabiana Udenio: people have said.
00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:32,616
Fabiana Udenio: You know, like for me, yes, it has to do
00:50:32,656 --> 00:50:36,929
Fabiana Udenio: with, I guess, other people's emotions too.
00:50:36,969 --> 00:50:37,430
Fabiana Udenio: What happens.
00:50:38,211 --> 00:50:40,174
Marc Preston: Well, most people I speak with, that answer
00:50:40,274 --> 00:50:42,638
Marc Preston: usually ends up being with family at the
00:50:42,698 --> 00:50:44,541
Marc Preston: end of the day, or good friends with some
00:50:44,581 --> 00:50:47,185
Marc Preston: kind of a meal away to finish the evening.
00:50:48,857 --> 00:50:50,445
Marc Preston: It is very interesting because everybody
00:50:50,485 --> 00:50:51,450
Marc Preston: views a day a little bit different.
00:50:51,951 --> 00:50:54,017
Marc Preston: Some people like their meditative quiet
00:50:54,057 --> 00:50:54,960
Marc Preston: time to themselves.
00:50:55,551 --> 00:50:57,641
Marc Preston: Some people like to do, to be going, you
00:50:57,681 --> 00:50:58,746
Marc Preston: know, so it's.
00:50:58,767 --> 00:50:59,450
Marc Preston: That's a beautiful thing.
00:50:59,591 --> 00:51:00,920
Marc Preston: Everybody's a little different and
00:51:01,121 --> 00:51:02,430
Marc Preston: perfection for everybody is different.
00:51:02,972 --> 00:51:03,414
Fabiana Udenio: Yes, yes, yes.
00:51:04,770 --> 00:51:06,714
Marc Preston: Now, if you weren't doing what you were
00:51:06,754 --> 00:51:08,497
Marc Preston: doing now for a living, what you have been
00:51:08,517 --> 00:51:10,480
Marc Preston: doing for many years, that you obviously
00:51:10,580 --> 00:51:13,305
Marc Preston: love so much, what would be your vocation,
00:51:13,450 --> 00:51:15,075
Marc Preston: what would be the other thing that you
00:51:15,095 --> 00:51:16,519
Marc Preston: would do that would you feel would bring
00:51:16,539 --> 00:51:16,920
Marc Preston: you joy?
00:51:17,610 --> 00:51:20,756
Fabiana Udenio: You know, I would have loved, I would like
00:51:20,796 --> 00:51:22,338
Fabiana Udenio: to be a lawyer and attorney.
00:51:23,079 --> 00:51:25,243
Fabiana Udenio: Just because you'd have to, you can defend
00:51:25,283 --> 00:51:25,964
Fabiana Udenio: yourself always.
00:51:26,490 --> 00:51:28,216
Fabiana Udenio: I mean, if I, if something I missed, it's a
00:51:28,256 --> 00:51:28,838
Fabiana Udenio: law degree.
00:51:29,711 --> 00:51:31,335
Fabiana Udenio: I've always said, you know, I wish I had a
00:51:31,396 --> 00:51:32,479
Fabiana Udenio: law degree for this and that.
00:51:33,610 --> 00:51:36,840
Fabiana Udenio: So yes, or a teacher, but an attorney would
00:51:36,860 --> 00:51:37,241
Fabiana Udenio: be good.
00:51:37,490 --> 00:51:38,517
Marc Preston: You're the only one that's ever said
00:51:38,557 --> 00:51:40,007
Marc Preston: attorney, but that's very, that's very
00:51:40,067 --> 00:51:40,450
Marc Preston: interesting to me.
00:51:40,731 --> 00:51:43,881
Marc Preston: I think that's being able to what you could
00:51:43,902 --> 00:51:45,045
Marc Preston: do for other people potentially.
00:51:45,065 --> 00:51:46,310
Marc Preston: I think that's a nice thing being able to
00:51:46,330 --> 00:51:46,430
Marc Preston: argue.
00:51:47,052 --> 00:51:48,671
Marc Preston: I think Tom Hanks said it best He wouldn't
00:51:48,691 --> 00:51:49,614
Marc Preston: want to do it because it's like doing
00:51:49,674 --> 00:51:51,018
Marc Preston: homework for a living, you know.
00:51:51,450 --> 00:51:54,238
Fabiana Udenio: True, but but it would give me such, you
00:51:54,278 --> 00:51:57,949
Fabiana Udenio: know, the ability to not necessarily
00:51:58,009 --> 00:52:00,440
Fabiana Udenio: practice it, so that mostly I was jealous
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:01,184
Fabiana Udenio: of a law degree.
00:52:01,244 --> 00:52:02,329
Fabiana Udenio: not maybe, i don't know if I would make it
00:52:02,349 --> 00:52:03,815
Fabiana Udenio: good Maybe a judge.
00:52:04,076 --> 00:52:05,442
Fabiana Udenio: I would make a good judge because I'm very
00:52:05,522 --> 00:52:07,450
Fabiana Udenio: fair, but that's a lot of work.
00:52:07,894 --> 00:52:09,147
Marc Preston: They have those judge shows in the middle
00:52:09,187 --> 00:52:09,430
Marc Preston: of the day.
00:52:09,874 --> 00:52:11,268
Marc Preston: If they had one, we're just giving you some
00:52:11,329 --> 00:52:11,430
Marc Preston: ideas.
00:52:11,871 --> 00:52:13,976
Marc Preston: If you were a judge, I'm just saying that
00:52:13,996 --> 00:52:15,681
Marc Preston: could be one where you could put your own
00:52:15,721 --> 00:52:16,202
Marc Preston: spin on it.
00:52:16,450 --> 00:52:18,006
Marc Preston: That would be, that would be kind of.
00:52:18,066 --> 00:52:18,450
Marc Preston: I would watch it.
00:52:19,433 --> 00:52:22,341
Fabiana Udenio: But also like but I'm also very patient.
00:52:22,470 --> 00:52:24,196
Fabiana Udenio: So I think I could make a good teacher
00:52:24,216 --> 00:52:25,039
Fabiana Udenio: because I'm patient.
00:52:25,550 --> 00:52:27,115
Marc Preston: The wonderful thing is that you still
00:52:27,176 --> 00:52:28,279
Marc Preston: really enjoy what you do.
00:52:28,612 --> 00:52:29,218
Marc Preston: You know this is.
00:52:29,238 --> 00:52:30,389
Marc Preston: It doesn't feel like just a job you have to
00:52:30,410 --> 00:52:30,450
Marc Preston: do.
00:52:30,975 --> 00:52:32,268
Marc Preston: It seems like you're still very passionate
00:52:32,288 --> 00:52:32,450
Marc Preston: about it.
00:52:32,871 --> 00:52:33,433
Marc Preston: I think we should all.
00:52:33,835 --> 00:52:35,360
Marc Preston: I think we should all be so lucky to still
00:52:35,380 --> 00:52:37,085
Marc Preston: do something for so long and be I feel like
00:52:37,105 --> 00:52:37,828
Marc Preston: I'm very fortunate.
00:52:37,868 --> 00:52:38,450
Marc Preston: I still love what I do.
00:52:39,132 --> 00:52:39,372
Fabiana Udenio: Isn't?
00:52:39,452 --> 00:52:41,557
Fabiana Udenio: yes, you certainly yes, if you can do that
00:52:41,617 --> 00:52:44,143
Fabiana Udenio: for a living, that's a gift really.
00:52:44,851 --> 00:52:47,577
Fabiana Udenio: And for me to have known it at an early age,
00:52:47,637 --> 00:52:49,241
Fabiana Udenio: i didn't have to go through that confusion
00:52:49,281 --> 00:52:50,343
Fabiana Udenio: in what am I going to do with my life.
00:52:51,113 --> 00:52:52,418
Fabiana Udenio: I knew what I wanted to do.
00:52:53,096 --> 00:52:54,288
Fabiana Udenio: Now the question is whether I could do it
00:52:54,309 --> 00:52:54,430
Fabiana Udenio: or not.
00:52:55,135 --> 00:52:57,450
Fabiana Udenio: And luckily, you know, i was able to do it.
00:52:58,218 --> 00:53:00,152
Marc Preston: I think you're doing a wonderful job And I
00:53:00,192 --> 00:53:01,836
Marc Preston: think I think Fubar is a wonderful
00:53:02,558 --> 00:53:04,703
Marc Preston: progression to kind of reintroduce you to
00:53:04,743 --> 00:53:06,207
Marc Preston: some folks who maybe haven't watched some
00:53:06,247 --> 00:53:07,029
Marc Preston: of your other things.
00:53:07,049 --> 00:53:07,370
Marc Preston: I think it's fun.
00:53:08,339 --> 00:53:09,430
Marc Preston: I can't wait to get to the next episodes.
00:53:10,460 --> 00:53:11,450
Marc Preston: But I have one last question.
00:53:11,670 --> 00:53:13,332
Marc Preston: If you were to jump into a DeLorean you
00:53:13,352 --> 00:53:15,195
Marc Preston: remember those DeLoreans and you were to
00:53:15,235 --> 00:53:18,379
Marc Preston: travel back in time, you know, and to when
00:53:18,399 --> 00:53:20,341
Marc Preston: you're 16 years old, and a piece of advice
00:53:20,361 --> 00:53:23,365
Marc Preston: you would give yourself either to make the
00:53:23,465 --> 00:53:25,768
Marc Preston: moment you were living in better somehow or
00:53:25,848 --> 00:53:27,450
Marc Preston: to put you on a better track for the future.
00:53:27,912 --> 00:53:30,988
Marc Preston: Just a piece of advice you would give 16
00:53:31,008 --> 00:53:31,450
Marc Preston: year old Fabiana.
00:53:32,824 --> 00:53:35,358
Fabiana Udenio: I don't stress so much, it'll be OK.
00:53:37,222 --> 00:53:40,818
Fabiana Udenio: You don't have to be perfect, you know yeah.
00:53:42,594 --> 00:53:44,179
Marc Preston: You're asking before what do other people
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:44,340
Marc Preston: say?
00:53:44,450 --> 00:53:46,018
Marc Preston: That is something I hear frequently,
00:53:46,199 --> 00:53:47,767
Marc Preston: because don't we distress when we're kids
00:53:47,807 --> 00:53:48,430
Marc Preston: and worry about what's next?
00:53:48,953 --> 00:53:50,882
Marc Preston: And if you do, just enjoy the ride.
00:53:51,023 --> 00:53:53,195
Marc Preston: Yeah, i love that, that's perfect And don't
00:53:53,235 --> 00:53:54,564
Marc Preston: take yourself too seriously.
00:53:54,584 --> 00:53:56,354
Fabiana Udenio: You know, i was so intense, i was very
00:53:56,374 --> 00:53:57,257
