Dramatic choir music dramatic choir music dramatic choir music its the rush of relaxation. Introducing the allnew lincoln corsair. Once again this sunday, first things first. The latest on the coronavirus and what we can do, from our dr. John lapook. Doctor coronavirus is spreading quickly. More than 100,000 cases have been reported in at least 90 countries, including hundreds in the United States. And were now seeing what is called Community Spread in the u. S. That means the original source of the infection is not clear. One example is in king county, washington, where a major outbreak has been linked to a nursing home. Its hard to know just how widespread the virus is in america partly because there have not been enough test kits available here. The f. D. A. Announced friday that the supply of those kits is quickly ramping up. The average american is still at low risk, but that can change. Well remind you how you can protect yourself. Wash your hands. If you have to sneeze or cough, you your elbow or tissues. And keep your hands away from your face. Easier said than done, i know. Whether youre sick, whether it is coronavirus or something else, dont go to work. I know the financial loss can be tough, but that is something we have to address as a society. If youre having symptoms typical of a cold, you may just have a cold. Symptoms of coronavirus include fever, a cough, and shortness of breath. If you get those, you should cul consult a clinician. If you think you may have coronavirus, dont show up unannounced at an emergency room, where you can infect others. Check first with your health care provider, who can alert the e. R. To be ready for you with proper protective gear. Follow the advice of your state or local health department, especially if youve been exposed. Another term were starting to hear is social distancing. It means staying away from others during this outbreak, especially in places where the virus has already shown up. This is all uncharted territory for us in america, and were seeing a wide variety of approaches in dealing with the virus, everything from cutting back on unnecessarily travel to canceling big gatherings, to working from home. Most reported cases, about 80 , have been mild, and children have been relatively spared from infection. The bad news is the elderly, and people with underlying illnesses lying lung illnesses and weakened immune systems are especially vulnerable. The c. D. C. Suggests those at higher risks should stay home at much as possible, keep away from sick people and avoid crowds. It is also a good idea to have several weeks of medications and supplies on hand in case you do need to stay home for an extended period of time. One last thought coronavirus began in china, and a dangerous side effect has been a wave of antiasian racism. As a nation, weve endured al kinds of challenges. Right now we need to be patient, positive, and proactive, and we need to be kind to c. D. C. s doctor anc anthony sowchi in 60 minutes. Ahead on sunday morning. In praise of sleeping on the job. Trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. Its not insulin. I take it once a week. It starts acting in my body from the first dose. Trulicity isnt for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if youre allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. I have it within me to lower my a1c. Ask your doctor about trulicity. And the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. Help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax.

With ultrathin layers that turn liquid to gel and lock it inside. For protection i barely feel. New always discreet. Jane catching some zzzs is a way of saying your taking a nap. Susan spencer counts the way. C. E. O. Brian halligan admits it, he sleeps on the job. So describe jour naps. I typically take them in the afternoon after lunch. Theyre a half hour long. His naps even find a place on his calendar. It wouldnt be out of the question for your schedule to say, 9 00 budget meeting, 11 00 finance meeting, and 1 30, my nap. More like 1 30 or 2 00, my nap. Almost every day. Whoever said, you snooze yo, you lose, never met halligan. His company has 3300 employees and is worth 8 billion. People are surprised that the head of an 8 billion company is sleeping his way through the afternoon. It is only a half hour. But it may just be the most important half hour of his day. Some of my best ideas ive had are when im kind of falling in and falling out of sleep. In that eureka moment. Describe for me what it is about this process that you think somehow invigorates you, i guess. I have this impression in my mind, when i fall asleep, there is this little tiny man with a mustache, with a broom and dust pan, and he goes around and cleans up inside my brain. So when i wake up, it is like a clean room, and im, like, very energized, and my mind is open, and im ready to receive more infrmation and process it in a much better way. And you are not at all selfconscious about talking about the man with the broom . No. No. The best window for a nap is midafternoon. So 3 00 in the afternoon . Perfect. Doctor Charles Cziesler heads up the sleep division at the brigham hospital in boston, and he is a big fan of naps. If im at work and i take a nap, am i going to be performing better after that nap . You will. Because you will consolidate some of the information you learned during the daytime, and youll be able to remember it better after that nap. Just ask the folks at nasa. They found that pilots who napped an average of just 26 minutes improved performance by 34 . And other studies link napping to better cognition, sharper memory, less frustration. And if your boss comes along. You can explain to your boss, that this is how youre keeping your performance at its best. Good luck with that one. [laughter] but in 2013, the doctor made that very pitch to the boston red sox, who worried that lack of sleep was hurting their game. His advice . Put a nap room in the clubhouse. Once the nap room was finished, did anybody bother with it, did they use it . Yeah. In fact, you couldnt get in because it was so popular with the players. Announcer and it happened you may recall later that season, the wellrested sox won the world series. This is just amazing. And their sleep doctor got a championship ring. It has my name, which is kind of cool. What it is have are a bunch of little zs. The red sox joined nap pers, from leonardo da vinci, to roosevelt to john f. Kennedy. Winston churchill believed in not holding back. Fueled by a breakfast, consisting of brandy, among other things, he would routinely take a nap from 2 00 to 4 00, and this is during the war. Get under the covers, take off his clothes. This is not just falling asleep on a couch. And we won the war. Precisely. Virginia tech professor roger ehert is an historian. He said most europeans and north americans slept in two separate chunks. Generally people went to bed between 9 00, 10 00 participant m. 00 p. M. And awakened not long after midnight. And they did what . They would meditate or have special prayers. The Industrial Revolution ended all of that. Our attitude towards sleep changed. Sleep became associated with lethargy. The stigma stuck. According to a new cbs news poll, one in five americans thinks napping is a sign of laziness. Why do you think naps have such a bad name . I can quote ben franklin. Up, sluggard sluggard sleep not. There is more than time enough to sleep in the grave. Ooh, that makes you think. This is not exactly part of american corporate culture, is it . I dont know. They dont teach naps at the Harvard Business school . I dont think they do. But sleep is a topic of discussion at Emory University in atlantic. Where professor Dayna Johnson is an epidemiologist. How long is the ideal nap . So you want to nap 10 to 20 minutes. That doesnt seem like very long. She says naps are okay, just dont snooze your life away. People who are sleep deprived should have a nap during the day to help them feel restored. But, on the other side of it, a nap can also impact your sleep at night. So you end up in this cycle of poor sleep at night, then you sleep a little during the day. So naps in your view are basically for emergency use only . Right. Thats a good way to put it. Its for when you need it. So this is like a na naplovers heaven. In a country where naps are shunned, sleepdeprived americans searching for shut eye spend almost 30 billion a year, on everything from weighted napping blankets to sleepenhancing batch pajamas, to, well, this. Sleeping on the ostrich pillow envelopes your head in a cocoon of comfort. No ostriches needed for brian halligans naps. He simply retreats to his companys designated snooze spot, the socalled van winkel room. Where employees can sign up to catch a snooze any time. And a beach umbrella . Relaxing. In fact, the room is so popular, he may even add a second van winkel. You agree with yogi berra, i usually take a twohour nap from one to four. Yogi is a wise man. Adventure. To reconnect and be together. And once we did that, we realized his greatest adventure is just beginning. vo welcome to the most adventurous outback ever. The allnew subaru outback.

March 8, 1969, 51 years ago today, when, as we shall see, the three best known Marx Brothers last appeared together on television. There were actually five Marx Brothers in all. Born in new york city between 1887 and 1901 they were boyhood vaudevillians with the stage names, chico, harpo, groucho, gummo, and zeppo. In film after film, the Marx Brothers specialized in slapstick, and wisecracking word play. One morning i shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, i dont know. Thats all right, thats what they call a sanity clause. [laughter] you cant fool me, there aint no sanity clause. Jane along with the banter, chico flaunted his skill at the piano. While the ever silent harpo whats the matter . What happened . Are you fired . Jane showed off his gift for pantomime. And his gift for playing his namesake, harp. Jane after their last major film in 1949, the brothers mostly pursued their own careers. And now the one, the only. Groucho. Jane groucho was the host of the tv game show, you bet your life, which brings us back to 1959, when in a comic caper episode of General Electric theater on cbs, the three were reunited in a brief Police Lineup scene. We wont talk until we see our lawyer. [laughter] did you want a manicure . No, come on in. Jane although all of the Marx Brothers are long gone, the laughs will continue. On that you can truly bet your life. Ch. Jane ahead. The dixie chicks, back in the spotlight. And riverdance, still ticking at 25. Jane muhammad alis fans were shocked when joe frazier handed him a rare defeat on this very day all of 49 years ago. Ali went on to beat him twice in a pair of rematches. Its been nearly four years since alis death, and a book of candid photos of the champ is out, and it is a knockout. As we hear from Tony Tokoupil of cbs this morning. His quick fists, and even quicker mouth. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. May muhammad ali the man. Ali means most high. And muhammad ali the boxer. Famous the world over. I will show the whole world im still the king and the greatest of all times but the photographers who worked for his hometown newspaper saw a quieter side of the great ali. He is known as the louisville lip, but when youve got him oneonone, out of the eye, if you will, he was very humble. Thomas harden photographed ali for years for the louisville journal. When the public would show up, he would entertain them with poetry or magic tricks. He hugged everybody, not only physically, but emotionally. Reporter harden covered the fights, but preferred the more private moments. When i was making pictures, i was looking for the quiet ali. Whether it was with luis sarria, or whether it was road work that he did in deer lake. Reporter Keith Williams also spent time at alis Training Camp in deer lake, pennsylvania. They said, come on in here. I want you to be in here to be with ali. The focus of him in the fog, that was 4 00 in the morning. They said, come go with us. Reporter there is an intimacy with the pictures you took up there. Is that what you were going for . I was just photographing what i saw. Reporter what he saw and captured on film were alis more unguarded moments, at rest or at play. I knew what a great collection of photographs we had in our archives, and it was sitting there untouched. I want to show you some of the earlier stuff. Reporter pat mcduna combed through archives for a book that tells alis story from louisvilles point of view. It is an homage to the photos of the subject but also the people who took them . Exactly. Reporter that is bills picture on the cover. Bill, there is a picture you took of ali, it must be in a locker room or a hallway before a fight. It was completely still. He was like that a lot. Reporter some of the images have become iconic, like this one of a 12yearold muhammad ali, then known as cassius clay. He was already starting to make a name for himself as a amateur, even though he was just a kid. Reporter and this is of ali reading the paper in the hour before dawn. He was on a patio, all by himself, in the dark, and youre privileged to be able to discover that. Reporter or this one of ali falling asleep in front of the television. On the tv screen is howard cosell. I thought it was such a natural moment, but i had to ask keith. I said, was ali faking that because of who was on the tv . And keith said, no, he really fell asleep. Reporter they arent photo ops, but life. He is driving, and he sees some guys on the street fighting. And he jumps out of the car and he says, hey, if you want to fight, come fight me. And they all looked at him and saw who he was, and they burst out laughing. Thats the type of person he was. Reporter was ali a hero to both sides of the city, white and black . I think so. I think so. There was no place that was too low for him to go into or too high for him to go into. You would see him at local restaurants, you would see him downtown, you would see him all around. Reporter when muhammad ali died in 2016, he came home to louisville for his quietest day of all. But as these photographs remind us, his legacy in louisville and beyond can still roar. Who is the greatest . All right he was a great american. He stood up for everybody, no matter what race they were. And ill always remember him for that. Jane next. Keeping in step with riverdance. Millions of wellrested humans once roamed the earth. But with rising stress in the modern world, yawning a good nights sleep is nearly extinct. However, theres hope on the horizon. Every day, ikea is designing vital sleep sanctuaries. With rest reserves like these, repopulation is possible, and together, we can save our sleep. Jane grace cheatham, and Lucy Sullivan of the school of irish fans in new york. St. Patricks day is just around the corner. Another sign the return to america of the show known as riverdance. Hard on the heels as it were of this 25th anniversary revival in ireland, which is where mark philips watched them get in step. Lets try this dance out one more time and then go back and run it from back here. Five, six, seven, eight. Reporter after 25 years, they pretty much have this routine down. Hold that, hold that. Reporter but at riverdance, you keep dibby dibing, dubby dubbing until you get it absolutely right. Now push. Push reporter boris moiel is putting the dancers ahead of their passes for the turned irish dancing into a worldwide hit. Theyre back where it all began, on the same stage in dublin when riverdance became an unlikely, accidental show biz phenomenon. Back with a group of dancers who werent even alive 25 years ago. And back with a new star. A flaminghaired 22yearold named amy mae dolin, who looks like she was born for it. It is really hard to remember the first time i watched riverdance or even heard the music because it has literally been a part of my every day since i was born. Reporter you cant remember a world where there was riverdancing . Thats right. It is all i knew and all i wanted to do. Ladies and gentlemen, riverdance reporter it was three years before amy danced her way into this world. That gene butler and Michael Flatley stomped their way into international flame, during the 1994 eurovision song coastal was held that year in dublin. When the last heel hit the floor, the place went crazy. [applause and cheering] when it finished, there was this roar as 4,000 people jumped to their feet. And the applause, i think, lasted four minutes. So we knew certainly at that time what we had suspected could happen would happen. Reporter in here you get what, 8,000 . John and his wife produced the original 6 minute and 40 second number. It was the beginning of the next quarter century of their lives. Then the question was almost the next day hs into a fullblown twohour show and have it ready for next year. Reporter so how do you do that . With a great deal of speed because laughing . Quickly. I was talking about panic. Reporter if there was any doubt the show wouldnt work at full length, it didnt last long. When the run sold out in dublin, they thought they would try it in london. Reporter it sold out there, too. And was brought back for a second sellout run. Even though its star dancer and choreography, Michael Flatley, had stomped out of the company in a contract dispute. He sent us a contract with a list of 40 demands that were absolutely impossible to fulfill. So we held the line and it was a bit like poker, he didnt think we would, but we did. Reporter sort of a risk . Well, i think it was a risk, but we had to have a firm belief in the strength of the work. We were tested sooner than we would have liked, but we had no options. Reporter and where better to test it than the radio city music hall in new york. Youre now standing on the stage of these most famous theater in the world. We did two weeks, which is a big gamble in radio city. But we did so well, we came back and played radio city for six weeks. The london audience, the radio city audience in new york, these werent all of the offspring of irish immigrants . No. Reporter the show took off. At its peak, it had three companies touring europe, the americas, and asia. More come out than go in, if thats possible. [laughter] i think it gives irish people confidence. It is, like, we have something that is very unique and special, and dare i say sexy, to present to the world. And a allowed dancers to start traveling and bring a little bit of ireland to places like china and japan, that maybe it hasnt been before. Reporter and it has borrowed traditions from places it has been. This is what happens when irish step meets american tap. I wanted the show to say that we support each other and we borrow from each other. Giving and receiving from each other culturallyment. Ly. And we respect each other. Reporter and broad appeal as well . Absolutely. Absolutely. As well as entertainment. Reporter it is a long way from irish dancings roots, in the pubs, where the bands still play on saturday night, and where the floor boards still take a beating. Why this style . There is one popular theory. The catholic priests in ireland felt like that was more religious. Reporter and boys and girls didnt touch each other . Yes. Nobody had an expression when they were dancing. Just their feet were moving. Reporter boy, are their feet moving. The only way to really see what the dance ses are dancers g is to go to the slow motion replay, where the level of synchronized profession is even more evident. It goes one and two and dh, dah, dah. Reporter or you take a lesson. Just like that . Whats the first thing they tell you about irish dancing . You stand with your right foot in front of your left, and heel to toe, and the first thing you learn is to point your toe. Are you okay . Reporter yes no. Reporter to complete the circle, the riverdance 25th Anniversary Show comes back to radio city in new york this week. And apparently it wont end there. Do you see an end to this . Or is this going to stomp its way into the foreseeable future . I have booked this venue for the 50th anniversary. Jane ahead. A prescription for happiness.

Dan peterson was late for his own memorial service. Four years late. According to his brother, jesse, dan was ready to die back in 2016. Some little girl, who was four years old, said hi, old person. [laughter] reporter that little giver of life was norah wood. Norah met dan during his darkest days. As we first reported in november of 2016, dans wife had just died. He was severely depressed, and out Grocery Shopping for himself here in augusta, georgia, when norah spotted him. As you can see on the security footage, she randomly reached out to this total stranger and then had the audacity to demand a hug. I said, a hug . Absolutely. [laughter] reporter norah got her hug and then asked her mom, tara, to take a picture of her with her new friend. His lip quivered and he teared up, and it was just sweet. I said, you dont know. This is the first time, for quite a while, that ive been this happy. Reporter after we first told this story, we thought for sure the love would fade. But norah and dan saw each other at least once a week. He was there for her kindergarten graduation. And she was there to stroll his garden. And, of course, there were countless hugs along the way. The first thing she did when we walked in was the last thing she did when we left. Reporter this was norahs final invest visit with her sister, marigold, the day before dan died. Then sings my soul, my savior god to thee reporter no story ive ever told has resonated as deeply as this one. Over the years, dan got thousands of letters from around the world. And now the condolences are pouring in for norah. And you cant help but wonder why . With so much else going on in the world. I think it was just humanity at its best, to love and to be loved. How great thou art reporter a prescription for happiness that will get us through anything. Jane memories of the pandemic of 1918 loom over the current global battle against the coronavirus. And though it is too soon to say how comparable the current outbreak will be, there are lessons to be learned from that earlier time. As we hear from martha teichner. The outbreak is growing. More deaths, more cases as thousands of americans begin to selfquarantine. If the outbreak of covid19 has a bulls eye in the u. S. , it is washington state. Most of those cases are linked to a nursing home outside of seattle. Schools and universities closed. A gauge of alarm here. Washington states death toll continues to rise. Seen in seattle, a lot of masks. But not for the first time. Substitute spanish flu for coronavirus, 1918 for 2020, and just look. Seattle seized by the godzilla of modern pandemics. The 1918 flu killed 675,000 americans. 50 to 100 Million People died worldwide. And thats equivalent to 225 to 450 Million People today. Thats incredible. The numbers are staggering. Reporter john berry wrote a history of the 1918 flu. She is on the faculty of tulane university. There was a mild spring wave that hit or miss, and it came back in the fall with more than a vengeance. Probably 60 to 70 of the deaths occurred in 14 or 15weeks, from late september 1918 until, you know, through december, maybe a little into january. In that time, during the final months of world war i, more soldiers died of the flu than were killed on the battlefield during four years of fighting. As opposed to the coronavirus, the most vulnerable were in their 20s. The most horrific symptoms really were you could bleed not only for your nose and mouth, but from your eyes and ears. People were turning so dark blue from lack of oxygen. In the book i quote one doctor writing a colleague saying that he could not tell white soldiers from africanamerican soldiers. It was called the spanish flu, but that was only because spain, which was not at war, allowed the press to report on it openly, unlike here. The first serious outbreak in the United States began at camp funston, now fort reilly in kansas. As infected soldiers from across the country made their way to the trenches in france, the virus spread. But the nation wasnt told. A year earlier, president woodroo wilson sha had rammed through congress, making it a crime to say or publish anything that would negatively affect the war. The architect of the committee said, truth and falsehood are arbitrary terms. The force of an idealized inspirational matter. It matters very little if it is true or false. Was that a license to lie to the American Public . It was precisely that. In the United States you had National Public Health Leaders saying such things as, quote, this is ordinary influenza by another name. At the local level, the same kind of thing was occurring. With deadly consequences. No more so than in philadelphia, which went ahead with a huge war bond parade in the fall of 1918, when the virus was at its most virulent. Newspapers killed stories, quoting the medical community, dont do it. Influenza exploded around the city, and the result is it is one of the hardest hit cities in the word. And the mass graves being dug by steam shovels and so forth. How many people died . About 14,000 in philadelphia. Notice that handwashing wasnt mentioned. Americans could see for themselves, in spite of what they were told. They thought they were less likely to catch the flu outside. They did whatever they could, given what they didnt know. Back in 1918, they had no idea what it was that they were suffering from or what it was they were being killed by. To me, thats the most frightening aspect of the 1918 epidemic. Dr. Jeremy brown is director of the Emergency Care research at the National Institutes of health, but spoke to us in a personal capacity. Viruses would not be discovered for another 15 or 20 years. That is very different from today. We know what it is that is causing the disease. Reporter brown has written extensively about influenza and argues that 2020 will not be another 1918, thanks to advances in science. Back in 1918, the basic treatments that were offered were enemas, whiskey. And hospitals were quite different. There were no intensive care doctors who understand how to treat the very sickest patients. There were no antibiotics to to treat infection. So it was a very different way of practicing medicine back then. But for john barry, there is a takeaway from then that still applies. The biggest lesson from the 1918 pandemic is clearly to tell the truth. What are the consequences if the truth isnt told . I think more people will die, yeah. Clearly that was the case in 1918. People can deal with the truth. Its the unknown that is much scarier. Jane next. Checking in with the dixie chicks. A long time gone jane its sunday morning on cbs, and here again is jane pauley. Jane that was a big hit for the dixie chicks back in 2002, not long before a political remark all but deep sixed their careers. Now with their first album, years on the way, it is no regrets and no apologies. They talk for the record with tracy smith. Ive been a long time gone reporter they might be known more for burning bridges than towing the line. The dixie chicks, with lead singer Natalie Maines and sisters Marty Mcguire and emily strayer, are one of the biggest female acts of all time. 13 grammys, tens of millions of records sold, and now theyre getting ready to run again. But we found a few minutes with them at natalies home in los angeles. What do you think it is . What is the bond between you . How does it work . I dont know. Were so lucky. I like so few people. [laughter] its meant to be. It is really meant to be. We dont have to try. Reporter it just happens . It does. Reporter and at the moment, theyre just weeks away from releasing a new stadium album, the first one in 14 years. It took a lot of living to have something new to write about. Reporter and what brought you back to the studio . Teenagers. [laughter] reporter besides raising children, they also worked on duet and soleo projects solo albums. But that just made them realize what they were missing. When i had my one solo album, i hated it. Reporter why . [laughter] she missed us. I never felt more insecure in my whole life. Reporter because. It just is so comfortable to have a team, to have a group. Strength in numbers. My mom said i i look good in White Reporter and since their last album, theyve all needed a shoulder to cry on. All three have been through divorce, but they say that the failed relationships just added fuel to their creative fire. Gas lighter, denier reporter and this is the result gas lighter is the track from their new album. Look out reporter in case youre not up on street lingo, the word, gas lighter is a reference to a movie, where he tries to convince Ingrid Bergman she has lost her mind. Are you trying to tell me im insane . Thats what im trying not to tell myself. Reporter what does that word mean to you, gas lighter . A manipulator. Making you feel like your crazy. And your reality is not clear to you because theyre manipulating you so much. And i think everyone has a little gas lighter in their life, right . I know mine. [laughter] well, ive been afraid of changing reporter but aside from the personal drama, the dixie chicks story is the stuff of music legends. Reporter the group formed in 1989 as a bluegrass band, but they barely made a ripple until they replaced their lead singer with newcomer Natalie Maines. Who doesnt know what im talking about. Whos never left home, who has never struck out reporter did you click right from the beginning . Pretty much. We put natalie through a test run. When we heard her sing, were, like, okay, we know she can sing, but will we like her . Wide open spaces reporter they liked her, all right. And within a few years the dixie chicks went from a smalltime band to a hitmaking, grammymaking band. But in 2003, before the eecialiraq war, they were on tour in london when natalie made a remark about then president john w. Bush. What happened next was ugly. The Radio Station set up these garbage cans for people to throw out their c. D. S. Reporter their record sales plunged and their radio air play dried up, and the Biggest Female Group in the world was, in effect, canceled. Looking back, do you see that as a blessing or a curse . I think it is a blessing. A blessing, for sure. It was a freedom i hated that i was dragging two other people. Natalie says like she felt she was dragging you through it. Did you feel like you were being dragged through it . No. Not at all. Dragging isnt the word. It is more like we were all in the middle of it. Im not ready to make nice im not ready to sit down reporter but they channelledechannelled their paio music, and three years later they were back with a new album and a new attitude. Yes the gra grammy for album of the year going to the dixie chicks. Im ready to make noise reporter so the last album that you guys released won every grammy it was nominated for. [laughter] reporter how do you top that . I mean, it is fun to win, but it is not its not what is important. If this album is a success, we win awards. Reporter maybe it is like when youre not looking for a boyfriend, they knock down your door. Isnt that how it works . Ive been looking for three years. [laughter] reporter the truth is the focus now is more on records than romance. And at the moment, this is one of the loves of natalies life. Emmylou cricket, one of her many rescue dogs. What has that done for you, to be involved . I think it is good for me to focus because my kids are grown. It is nice to have things to take care of. I like nurturing and mothers. And if youre going through something rough, there is my long face so thats been good. Reporter the new album companies out may 1st, and you can bet there is a tour in the works. Im not ready to make nice im not ready to back down. Reporter once again the dic chicks hav dixie chickse turned their bad songs into ballads, and along the way they found freedom. Do you feel like you care less now than maybe you did 17 years ago, whether people dislike you . Absolutely. You feel like, okay, everybody is going to hate us hopefully theyve already hated us, so youve got nothing to lose. But im still waiting [pplause and cheering] jane ahead. I always wanted to have a daughter because i wanted do do it a different way. Jane catching up with singer and actress mandy moore. Did not work well enough.

Quite a change from how she first made her mark. She is in conversation this morning i with sala burbank. Reporter mandy moores got an interesting career going. A lot of her fans still think of her as a teenager. Thanks o the 1990s pop music she made. Reporter and then she has a whole other group of fans that think of her as a grandmother. Kate has a lot on her plate with jack. Reporter thanks to her role as Rebecca Pearson on this is us.

Im 35, and ive been doing this since i was 15. 20 years of having a career, all of the successes and failures and everything in between. Reporter before the pop hits and the network tv roles there was 8yearold amanda lee moore growing up in orlando, florida. The Orlando Sentinel had this audition hotline, that every friday i would call. I wrote down what ones sounded appealing. Reporter were you your own agent . Yes. Reporter when she set her sights on her next big performance opportunity singing the National Anthem at florida supporting events. I begged my parents to get me a little pitch pipe, and they recorded me. And my mom, so the story goes, hand delivered this cassette of me singing the National Anthem with freshbaked cookies. I got the gig. Reporter all of that performing in front of crowds started to get moore some attention. Even record labels took notice, and before long, mandy moore was a certified teen pop. Reporter with hits like candy, which reached the billboard charts, and more impressively had a two month stint as one of the top music videos on mtv. You were successful, but you werent, like, Britney Spears success . Is that lucky . So lucky. Because there wasnt that expectation that you had hits, and you have to deliver more hits. It allowed me to branch off into the acting world. Reporter and she didnt just sing on mtv, she also started hosting shows. Stay tuned for more. Reporter which, in turn, led to acting roles in films like saved. I am filled with christs love. Reporter and the teen tearjerker, a walk to remember. You have to promise you wont fall in love with me. Reporter was there a point where you started to think, im actually an actor who sings. I think i became aware that that was probably the perception out in the world of me, and still probably to this day, which is fine. I have leaned into the idea it allows me to continue making the kind of music i want to make because there isnt the same expectation. Reporter as she outgrew her days as a teen idol, she started writing her own music, and had released five solo records on various records when she met and married the singer bryan adams. She thought it would spark even more music creativity, but she says the opposite happened. I was at a point in my life where i was the most comfortable making myself the least priority. Ad i made myself as small as possible in order to make somebody else comfortable. Reporter in a New York Times story, moore claimed her relationship with adams was toxic. It really destroyed my relationship to music. It destroyed now im going to get emotional. It destroyed my sense of self. It destroyed my belief in who i was as a musician and as a singer. Reporter they divorced in 2016, and moore, shaken by the end of her marriage and lack of acting work, considered leaving hollywood. I had done four failed tv pilots, so i was kind of at the point where i was, like, maybe this acting thing is done for me. Reporter really . Yeah. Yeah. This business has a way of bringing you down. Reporter but she stuck it out. Once i removed myself from that and gave myself time to heal from it, and realized the strength and the power that i bring to any situation, ive been doing this now for so long, once i dropped those bags, i realized the power that i had. And i just havent looked back. I dont care. Reporter then came the role of a lifetime, as the matriarch of the pearson family. I think you should be staying focused on your sobriety. Reporter the show, this is us, has widely exceeded anyones expectation. It is on its Fourth Season as one of televisions most popular programs. And thats not the only good news for moore. I dont want to hang up reporter it turns out she is making music again, too, with her second husband, musician taylor goldsmith. What was your awareness of the music of mandy moore it is funny, because whn we first started dating, i was, like, maybe i should know some of this. And i googled some of her older songs, and i was, like, i doubt this is who she is. Which turned out to be kind of true. Hold on reporter this small show in l. A. Was just a warmup for moores first tour in 10 years, starting later this month. Take another swing reporter to promote her new album, silver landing, a project she says was a lifetime in the making. This record is joyful and its a celebration and its about momentum forward. Im so sick of looking in the rearview mirror. I did so much of that for so much of my life. Reporter and one more thing mandy moore is doing now. Allowing herself to appreciate the teenaged version of herself, the girl who started it all. I love that girl. That girl was shes in me still. Shes the reason im here talking to you. I have so much affection and respectfor her. Reporter if this was a therapy session, we would say youre attending to yourself, which is very positive.
