Just thought I would remind everyone that Michael and Kirk Douglas will be on Oprah today, and Michael Douglas will also be on Jay Leno tomorrow night.

Well, Michael Douglas and the family were on Oprah, talking for at least half the program about It Runs in the Family, without ONCE mentioning Bernadette! Really bad...

I haven't gotten a chance to watch the entire interview with Oprah yet. However, I watched some of it and was also surprised they didn't mention Bernadette at all( thought they did show quite a few clips with her in them). The "theme" really of this interview was about how the 3 generations of Douglas' were working together. I think when Bernadette signed on to do this movie she realized she wouldn't be getting top billing. I'm not going to speak for her but I'd assume she found it an honor and priveledge just to get to work with Michael and Kirk and the fact that she was approached for the role.

Was there any mention of Bernadette on Entertainment Tonight? I missed it but might tape it tonight when it repeats - if it is worth it. I did like the extended trailer for the movie on Oprah but was dissapointed about not one mention of Bernadette.

It is so unbelievably frustrating as a fan that Bernadette has not gotten more recognition for this movie. I understand that the members of the Douglas family are the "stars", but that shouldn't overshadow all of the hard work that Bernadette put into this film either. Maybe I'm being a little too dramatic, but does anyone else sympathize with me on this issue?

i definitely understand and agree that it is frustrating because i too would like to see her more recognized for this role, but i agree that she more then likely knew that it would be a vehicle for the three generations of douglas men. but i still can't wait to see her in it!

I thought Oprah was going to mention Bernadette in the beginning when she was saying how Michael's father, mother, and son were in the movie. Like I thought she would say, "Catherine is the only one missing" and then Michael would say, "Yeah, she didn't have the right look, but we had Bernadette Peters who was amazing!" LOL I had it all played out in my head

Well, I just saw the commerical on TV again and I noticed this time they didn't mention Bernadette in the commercial(although they did shwo her in a few clips.) They just mentioedn Michael and Kirk. The commercial is pretty much a shortened version of the trailer.

I find it a little strange that Bernadette has not gone on any talk shows to promote the movie (well, obviously they would rather have the Douglas men promote the movie), or Gypsy!?
I assume it's because she is still getting use to her schedule with the show, and will start making appearances after the official opening.

Michael Douglas was on the ABC Morning Show this morning(don't know what it's called)--and he actually mentioned that Bernadette played his wife! (He and Kirk will be on tomorrow, as well; don't know what time, but it was the 8:00am-8:30am segment today).

Kirk and Cameron will be on Charlie Rose tonight--don't know when it airs where everyone lives.
