Welcome to the Eric Mataxas show with your host Eric Mataxas.

It is Words Fans. I like to have fun on this program and usually it involves friends of mine talking about fun stuff.

For example, my friend Mallory Millett, Mallory Millett, Dan and her. First of all, welcome back to the program.

Thank you.

Usually when you're on the program, we're talking about this political stuff because I met you through our mutual friend Ann Coulter and you're very active politically.

So, your director of the David Harowitz Freedom Center, blah, blah, blah, we're not going to talk about any of that.

The last time we had dinner, you started telling me truly amazing stories of your encounters with huge celebrities in the show business world.

So, before we get into how you know one giant name after the other and your experiences with them, Mallory, how did you get involved in show business to begin with?

Because now I think of you mainly as a political activist, but how did you get involved?

Well, I was in the Rochester Theatre Guild in Rochester, Minnesota briefly before I then went to live in the Philippines.

Why did you live in the Philippines?

Well, this was my first marriage, which has been annulled, and this is the father of my child.

And he was made president of 3M Asia at the tender age of 29, and we were sent suddenly over to the far east, and I found myself living in Manila.

So, I joined the Manila Theatre Guild, which was a group of people who had survived the Santer-Tomas prison camp in World War II.

They got together in the camp and decided if they did a little theatre group in the camp, they might all survive because they have something that's occupying them.

So, they were a fantastic group of people, and once the war was over, these situated themselves in the Army Navy Club.

I'm Manila Bay right there, and this gorgeous, big Army Navy, very summer-set mom kind of setting, you know.

And they did this fantastic theatre, absolutely wonderful. I had a ball working with these people.

So, I produced for them, I produced the fantastics in Southeast Asia, which was a big hit.

Not many people can say that. I produced the fantastics in Southeast Asia. Wow, okay, so when that stint is over, you come back to the United States, and then what?

You continue in show business?
