Producers Steve Boettcher and Mike Trinklein talk to The Hollywood Reporter about interviewing Betty White for over a decade, how the film will feature her dynamic legacy and what they had to edit following her passing.
“In one of the interviews, Betty talked about how she felt she was your favorite aunt that was kindly invited into your living room once a week, whether she was on. “It’s different than a movie star, she always said, where you go to a movie theater, and you see them on a big screen, and they’re untouchable. In the living room, you’re an intimate family member.”
Ahead of the movie’s theatrical release on Monday, which expanded from 900 to more than 1,500 theaters nationwide, Boettcher and Trinklein spoke toabout how the original film came together, how White contributed to her own celebration, what fans can expect to see about the legend and how they ultimately pivoted to a tribute following her death.Steve Boettcher:where we’ve done about 300 interviews with stars. We interviewed her 15 years ago, and it was kind of the first interview we did with her.
The movie features material from a lost episode from an early sitcom White starred in. How did you come by that?. It’s really young Betty. You could just see her candle already. It’s fun to see Betty early on in her career. We found the episode and kind of remastered it, cleaned it up, re-did audio — all that stuff.There are lots of clips of Betty’s early career, not just that one episode.
