Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, your home for Open, Honest, and Provocative Conversations.

Hey, everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show.

Today on the program, Justine Bateman, she was a superstar.

Back in the 80s and 90s, thanks to her role as Mallory,

the daughter on the hit show Family Ties, working with Michael J. Fox and a cast of All Stars.

And she now has just written, directed, and produced a film that's about to come out called Violet,

starring Olivia Munn and Justin Thoreau.

But the real reason I want to talk to Justine Bateman is because she has written two books,

the first one, and I talked to her about the Summer NBC show, was about fame.

And in particular, losing fame.

And just how illusory it is and what it, what nonsense it is.

But the pain in losing it and what that taught her, right?

It's like post being a huge star and what that's been like.

But the second book, which is called Face, one square foot of skin,

is about something else entirely. And it's really aging.

And how much pressure there is not to do it.

Right? Like the last thing you're supposed to do is age as a woman anywhere and certainly in Hollywood.

And now it's creeping over to men to a lesser extent.

Sure, sure, for to a lesser extent, but certainly those who are on camera.

And so we're going to talk about what she's learned because Justine has been bullied.

She has the victim of online bullying.

Why? Because she chose to age naturally gracefully.
