and find the powerful part of myself
even if I felt like a victim when I went
home at night. It was very therapeutic
to play a character like that. Acting
was very valuable at that point.

Angeles, and this is something that we
talk about in our speech. In the first
part of our lives together, we were very
much directed toward our careers.
This part of our lives is more directed
toward each other and our family. We
live near San Francisco, and work
right now is more of a very nice inter-
ruption. It's not so much the focus of
our desire.

JN: Our newspaper has written a lot
about Gilda's Clubs, opened in mem-
ory of former Detroiter and comedi-
an Gilda Radner. Have you had any
contact with them, utilized their serv-
ices or referred people there?
MT: We've had no official contact
with them, but we met with a friend
of Gilda who helped get it started. We
had a really nice evening with him.
JE: Certainly, the Wellness
Communities that have sprung up all
over the country are effective for peo-
ple with breast cancer, Gilda's cancer
and various other [forms of cancer]
and are a way for us all to be in com-
munication with one another and not
segment the diseases.

JN: Did your faith help you?
JE: I talk about getting faith after my
breast cancer experience. I was not
brought up in a particularly religious
family. I've learned to meditate and
look inside for my own guidance from
wherever that comes, and it's been an
incredibly valuable part of my path.
It's really changed my life to learn
where my strength is. I've had a very
different take on how to get up every
morning and [face] the day.

JN: Does this relate to Judaism in
any way?
MT: Not in a particular way. I don't
think we stand for any particular reli-
gious group although I am from a
Jewish background. My grandparents
were Orthodox Jews. My parents were
much more assimilated Jews, and I
assimilated much further. After my bar
mitzvah, I was not active in a syna-
gogue. It's not where I turned when
sought spiritual help. I turned more
inward, more to myself.
JE: My parents were Unitarian, and
my mother still is.

JN: Do you have any ties to
Michigan?
JE: I was brought up in the Midwest.
I'm from Wisconsin, and I spent a lot
of my childhood in Michigan. I skied
there in the winters, and I had friends
that lived [there]. My roommate from
college was from Ann Arbor. I feel like
I have a lot of ties to the state.

JN: What is your career focus now?
MT: We're in a hit-and-run stage with
our careers. We've moved out of Los

.

JN: Do you work differently when
you're working together than when
you're working separately?
JE: We prefer to work together. One
of the reasons we're not terribly excited
about jumping back into a TV series is
that it's hard to have something be as
wonderful in terms of our life as L.A.
Law was — to really be able to do it
together and have work not mean sep-
aration from each other. We decided
that being together is actually the first
priority, and the work hopefully will
fold into it.
MT: What we do now that we didn't
do before is visit each other. When Jill
was doing Strong Medicine for a week
and a bit, I went there so she didn't
have to go to an empty hotel room.

JN: Do your children aspire to careers
similar to yours?
MT: Our daughter, Alison (from
Tucker's first marriage), is an actress,
and our son, Max, is a musician.

JN: What do you like to do just for
fun?
MT: We have horses at Big Sur, and
we like to ride them. I'm an amateur
cook.
JE: Our kids like to play golf, and I
even went so far as to take a golf semi-
nar so I could play golf with them.
That's commitment to being together.
We love to travel, and soon we're going
to drop off our son in college in New
York and then go on to Europe. ❑
