1
00:00:06,819 --> 00:00:09,530
[woman] People always talk about
the really big figures
2
00:00:09,530 --> 00:00:12,241
who change things culturally.
3
00:00:12,241 --> 00:00:15,828
Did they create this moment,
or did the moment create them?
4
00:00:16,871 --> 00:00:18,414
Martha's like that.
5
00:00:18,414 --> 00:00:22,710
She made such
an enormous mark on the culture.
6
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:25,171
[man] She is one of the most
powerful women on the planet.
7
00:00:25,171 --> 00:00:26,172
Martha Stewart!
8
00:00:26,172 --> 00:00:28,257
- Martha Stewart!
- Martha Stewart!
9
00:00:28,257 --> 00:00:31,427
[woman] She has remained relevant
for more than 50 years.
10
00:00:31,427 --> 00:00:33,637
I'm Martha... [bleep] ...Stewart.
11
00:00:33,637 --> 00:00:35,389
I can do whatever I want.
12
00:00:35,389 --> 00:00:38,100
- Martha Stewart!
- Now, let's make that bed.
13
00:00:38,851 --> 00:00:39,810
Ooh!
14
00:00:39,810 --> 00:00:42,229
[high-pitched voice] Smoking on kush
and hot pot.
15
00:00:42,229 --> 00:00:44,690
[man 2] Martha is one
of the greatest teachers ever.
16
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:45,649
She's the queen.
17
00:00:45,649 --> 00:00:46,567
[woman] To this day,
18
00:00:46,567 --> 00:00:48,694
you cannot take your eyes off
Martha Stewart.
19
00:00:48,694 --> 00:00:52,031
[woman 2] If there was ever
the original influencer, it's Martha.
20
00:00:53,282 --> 00:00:55,409
[woman 3] She made the world
we're now living in.
21
00:00:55,409 --> 00:00:57,328
[whimsical music playing]
22
00:00:57,328 --> 00:01:00,748
[woman] American women
needed to be redirected
23
00:01:00,748 --> 00:01:03,167
from opening cans
of cream of mushroom soup
24
00:01:03,167 --> 00:01:06,170
and pouring it on top
of broccoli and boiled chicken.
25
00:01:07,046 --> 00:01:11,759
[woman] Before Martha, there were a lot
of women who gave advice about homemaking.
26
00:01:12,885 --> 00:01:15,596
And the number one thing
about these women,
27
00:01:15,596 --> 00:01:18,099
they had to be very nice.
28
00:01:18,099 --> 00:01:22,061
I'm Betty Crocker, and I promise you
a perfect cake every time you bake.
29
00:01:22,061 --> 00:01:24,730
[woman] And what they were gonna
show you how to do was easy.
30
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:27,274
[male announcer] A solid cylinder
of mixed goodness.
31
00:01:27,775 --> 00:01:29,151
[woman] When Martha came along,
32
00:01:29,151 --> 00:01:32,363
she is saying something
completely different.
33
00:01:33,322 --> 00:01:36,742
If you're having a big crowd
for Thanksgiving this year like we are,
34
00:01:36,742 --> 00:01:39,328
you might wanna make
more than one kind of turkey.
35
00:01:39,328 --> 00:01:41,914
This is one of the most beautiful turkeys.
36
00:01:41,914 --> 00:01:44,041
It's encased in a puff pastry.
37
00:01:44,041 --> 00:01:48,504
[woman] She became an aspirational force
to millions of people.
38
00:01:48,504 --> 00:01:51,549
This idea that you could have it all.
39
00:01:51,549 --> 00:01:55,052
[TV host] Martha Stewart.
She's a self-made billionaire.
40
00:01:56,470 --> 00:02:01,058
[woman] She was saying to women,
"Homemaking can be a powerful thing."
41
00:02:02,518 --> 00:02:06,564
I'm always trying to fill a void.
Something that doesn't exist.
42
00:02:06,564 --> 00:02:09,608
Something that people need
and want and don't have.
43
00:02:10,192 --> 00:02:12,194
[woman] She wanted to make it possible
44
00:02:12,194 --> 00:02:15,781
for people to have the homes
and surroundings that they wanted,
45
00:02:16,365 --> 00:02:19,326
no matter whether you have money or not.
46
00:02:20,411 --> 00:02:23,330
The high standards
that Martha has set for herself
47
00:02:23,330 --> 00:02:25,875
have become many other people's as well.
48
00:02:25,875 --> 00:02:28,460
And that is the problem
for a lot of women.
49
00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:30,129
[woman] It's a fantasy world,
50
00:02:30,129 --> 00:02:32,923
aspiring to a lifestyle
that you can't have.
51
00:02:32,923 --> 00:02:34,967
Homemaker porn, essentially.
52
00:02:34,967 --> 00:02:36,427
[woman 2] People were threatened.
53
00:02:36,427 --> 00:02:39,388
We have very strong
but conflicted feelings
54
00:02:39,388 --> 00:02:41,432
about how a woman should be at home.
55
00:02:41,432 --> 00:02:45,561
"She's an intolerable perfectionist.
She's a control freak." How do you plead?
56
00:02:46,228 --> 00:02:47,605
Um, guilty.
57
00:02:48,731 --> 00:02:52,776
People attack me for being a homemaker,
but, in reality, what am I really doing?
58
00:02:52,776 --> 00:02:55,988
I'm celebrating something
that's been put down for so long.
59
00:02:55,988 --> 00:02:58,282
I think I'm like the modern feminist.
60
00:02:58,782 --> 00:03:00,951
[woman] Everyone thought she was perfect,
61
00:03:00,951 --> 00:03:03,954
but it was still something
she was striving for
62
00:03:03,954 --> 00:03:06,207
and couldn't rest until she got it.
63
00:03:06,207 --> 00:03:08,667
She was pursued
by furies of her own creation.
64
00:03:09,376 --> 00:03:12,379
{\an8}[female reporter] Martha Stewart
was indicted on criminal charges.
65
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,882
{\an8}[woman 2] Her image is so associated
with perfection,
66
00:03:14,882 --> 00:03:16,508
{\an8}and this is the antithesis.
67
00:03:17,593 --> 00:03:19,428
[woman 3] She faces years in prison.
68
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:22,681
[Martha] Absolutely perfect.
69
00:03:22,681 --> 00:03:25,601
- Perfectly, perfectly perfect.
- Perfect condition.
70
00:03:25,601 --> 00:03:27,519
- Perfectly secure.
- Perfect little pattern.
71
00:03:27,519 --> 00:03:30,397
Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.
Picture-perfect.
72
00:03:30,397 --> 00:03:33,609
Mmm. The perfect ending to a perfect meal.
73
00:03:34,318 --> 00:03:39,657
[woman] Somewhere along the line,
Martha bought into the idea of perfection.
74
00:03:40,491 --> 00:03:44,703
But the question is not
whether perfection is attainable.
75
00:03:45,287 --> 00:03:48,290
The question is, "At what cost?"
76
00:03:48,874 --> 00:03:50,042
[music ends]
77
00:03:55,673 --> 00:03:58,092
[male interviewer] What is it
that you most dislike?
78
00:03:58,592 --> 00:04:00,928
[Martha] That's a hard question to answer.
79
00:04:02,012 --> 00:04:03,222
I dislike waste.
80
00:04:04,473 --> 00:04:06,100
I dislike inefficiency.
81
00:04:06,684 --> 00:04:08,269
Avoidance.
82
00:04:08,269 --> 00:04:09,270
Impatience.
83
00:04:10,354 --> 00:04:13,691
I dislike people who think
they can do more than they can do.
84
00:04:14,316 --> 00:04:17,528
I dislike not paying attention to details,
85
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:20,197
being mean just to be mean.
86
00:04:22,283 --> 00:04:24,576
I dislike aprons and housedresses.
87
00:04:25,202 --> 00:04:27,371
I used to dislike the color purple.
88
00:04:27,955 --> 00:04:28,872
[chuckles]
89
00:04:28,872 --> 00:04:32,042
A lot. But I don't dislike it so much--
And red. I...
90
00:04:32,042 --> 00:04:35,921
I don't plant very many things red
in my garden, if anything.
91
00:04:35,921 --> 00:04:38,841
Uh, if something pops up red,
it's usually taken out.
92
00:04:39,425 --> 00:04:43,053
So red is another thing
I'm not very fond of.
93
00:04:43,053 --> 00:04:45,139
[gentle classical music playing]
94
00:04:47,891 --> 00:04:49,893
Okay. Next? [chuckles softly]
95
00:04:49,893 --> 00:04:51,270
It's October 18th.
96
00:04:53,897 --> 00:04:55,983
We have lots to do in the garden.
97
00:04:57,401 --> 00:05:01,238
I would like to lay the path to
the summerhouse garden from the main road.
98
00:05:01,238 --> 00:05:05,117
I think we should do
rough stones like the other path,
99
00:05:05,117 --> 00:05:06,744
more like cracked ice.
100
00:05:06,744 --> 00:05:07,703
Send.
101
00:05:07,703 --> 00:05:08,871
[phone beeps]
102
00:05:08,871 --> 00:05:11,790
[Martha] There's a little saying
that I really like.
103
00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:14,460
If you wanna be happy for a year,
104
00:05:14,460 --> 00:05:15,544
get married.
105
00:05:16,253 --> 00:05:19,298
If you wanna be happy
for a decade, get a dog.
106
00:05:19,882 --> 00:05:23,385
And if you wanna be happy
for the rest of your life, make a garden.
107
00:05:23,385 --> 00:05:25,804
This garden looks pretty good.
108
00:05:25,804 --> 00:05:30,059
I think we should probably do
a little bit of trimming on the boxwood.
109
00:05:30,059 --> 00:05:30,976
New paragraph.
110
00:05:31,643 --> 00:05:33,729
I was maligned for being a perfectionist,
111
00:05:33,729 --> 00:05:38,025
criticized for trying to create
a lifestyle that was unattainable,
112
00:05:38,025 --> 00:05:40,027
which was not the case at all.
113
00:05:40,027 --> 00:05:42,780
What I was really trying
to do was to educate.
114
00:05:43,822 --> 00:05:48,202
There seem to be some dead peonies,
which makes me very unhappy.
115
00:05:49,787 --> 00:05:50,621
Send.
116
00:05:50,621 --> 00:05:51,580
[phone beeps]
117
00:05:52,331 --> 00:05:53,874
[Martha] I am a perfectionist.
118
00:05:55,459 --> 00:05:57,503
And it runs in the family.
119
00:05:58,295 --> 00:05:59,713
And it started with my father.
120
00:05:59,713 --> 00:06:01,090
[whimsical strings music playing]
121
00:06:01,090 --> 00:06:03,926
[Martha] Dad made each of us learn
how to garden.
122
00:06:05,135 --> 00:06:06,428
He could grow anything.
123
00:06:06,929 --> 00:06:09,181
I was the ideal daughter.
124
00:06:09,181 --> 00:06:12,226
I wanted to learn.
He had a lot to teach. And I listened.
125
00:06:12,226 --> 00:06:15,396
I was the one trusted
to iron his linen shirts.
126
00:06:15,396 --> 00:06:17,356
And he had the Harris Tweed jacket
127
00:06:17,356 --> 00:06:21,026
and the turquoise-blue tie
that matched his beautiful blue eyes.
128
00:06:21,777 --> 00:06:23,737
My father was the handsomest father.
129
00:06:24,822 --> 00:06:25,864
He loved me.
130
00:06:25,864 --> 00:06:29,618
And it was very obvious
to everybody that I was his favorite.
131
00:06:29,618 --> 00:06:32,121
He thought I was more like him
than the other children.
132
00:06:32,121 --> 00:06:33,038
[music fades]
133
00:06:33,038 --> 00:06:36,166
- [male interviewer] In what way?
- Well, he was a perfectionist [laughs].
134
00:06:36,166 --> 00:06:39,336
He got the job done
that he could-- that he was set out to do.
135
00:06:39,336 --> 00:06:41,964
Not his work work.
He was... he was a failure in work.
136
00:06:41,964 --> 00:06:44,049
[inquisitive strings music playing]
137
00:06:44,049 --> 00:06:46,593
[Martha] He could've done pretty much
anything he wanted to do,
138
00:06:46,593 --> 00:06:49,638
and he was stuck in a salesman's job.
139
00:06:51,098 --> 00:06:55,519
He sometimes started the day off
with a large glass of coffee and red wine.
140
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:58,021
So is that an alcoholic? Maybe.
141
00:06:58,605 --> 00:07:00,649
But he never looked like a drunk.
142
00:07:00,649 --> 00:07:04,278
He never stumbled around
and threw things and broke things.
143
00:07:04,278 --> 00:07:05,696
That wasn't my father.
144
00:07:05,696 --> 00:07:09,116
But he was a dissatisfied,
unhappy human being.
145
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,871
{\an8}He couldn't support six kids.
And we needed food.
146
00:07:14,538 --> 00:07:16,123
So we had gardens.
147
00:07:16,123 --> 00:07:18,876
And we would trade
for goods that we couldn't grow.
148
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,087
[Martha] He stood over you
like a sergeant.
149
00:07:22,671 --> 00:07:23,547
Mean.
150
00:07:24,798 --> 00:07:25,632
Mean.
151
00:07:25,632 --> 00:07:26,800
[poignant music playing]
152
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,343
[Martha] "You're not doing it right."
153
00:07:29,136 --> 00:07:31,555
[Eric] He would give us an order.
"Weed the tomatoes."
154
00:07:31,555 --> 00:07:34,183
And if we didn't follow through,
we paid the penalty.
155
00:07:34,183 --> 00:07:37,019
{\an8}We had our whippings.
It was the yardstick.
156
00:07:37,019 --> 00:07:40,481
{\an8}We dreaded the yardstick.
And at times, it was the end of the belt.
157
00:07:41,106 --> 00:07:43,108
{\an8}To this day, I despise gardening.
158
00:07:45,861 --> 00:07:47,321
[Martha] He had lost his job.
159
00:07:47,905 --> 00:07:48,989
No money saved.
160
00:07:50,532 --> 00:07:51,700
Six kids.
161
00:07:53,744 --> 00:07:55,287
And they needed money.
162
00:07:55,287 --> 00:07:57,372
["Good Lookin' by Etta James playing]
163
00:07:58,123 --> 00:08:02,461
[Martha] There was a girl across the
street who spent her free time modeling.
164
00:08:02,461 --> 00:08:04,379
She and her mother one day said to me,
165
00:08:04,379 --> 00:08:07,591
"You're pretty enough to be a model.
Would you like to be introduced?"
166
00:08:08,425 --> 00:08:10,093
I started off at $15 an hour,
167
00:08:10,093 --> 00:08:13,847
which was a lot better
than the 50¢ I was getting babysitting.
168
00:08:14,598 --> 00:08:17,059

Busy, active people, stop!

Now you can odor-proof your body.
Odor-proof...

in Nutley, New Jersey.

to watch Martha.

00:08:26,443 --> 00:08:28,403
[Martha] But I was not
a super-duper model.
173
00:08:28,403 --> 00:08:29,988
I was never in that class.
174
00:08:29,988 --> 00:08:32,366
But I was certainly successful.
175
00:08:33,242 --> 00:08:35,994
I would give most
of my paycheck to my mother
176
00:08:35,994 --> 00:08:38,288
because they still had
young children at home.
177
00:08:38,288 --> 00:08:40,958
She made sure we always had good food.
178
00:08:40,958 --> 00:08:42,543
She was such a good cook.
179
00:08:43,377 --> 00:08:45,754
I stood by my mother's side
in the kitchen,
180
00:08:45,754 --> 00:08:47,881
learning everything I could.
181
00:08:48,382 --> 00:08:52,844
She was a schoolteacher,
and she had to cook 16 meals a day.
182
00:08:52,844 --> 00:08:56,557
I thought that was pretty fantastic
that she could do all that.
183
00:08:56,557 --> 00:08:59,726
But the cookie-cutter house
and the cookie-cutter life,
184
00:08:59,726 --> 00:09:01,353
that was not for me.

[peppy strings music playing]
186
00:09:03,146 --> 00:09:08,151
{\an8}Martha had a scholarship to Barnard School
in New York City, very prestigious.
187
00:09:08,986 --> 00:09:10,612
[Martha] I really loved college.
188
00:09:11,113 --> 00:09:14,449
I really liked history,
art history, economics.
189
00:09:14,449 --> 00:09:16,618
I was a popular girl on campus.
190
00:09:16,618 --> 00:09:20,664
People knew who I was, a tall,
blonde, pretty girl from New Jersey,
191
00:09:20,664 --> 00:09:23,834
walking around in Bermuda shorts,
looking chic.
192
00:09:24,751 --> 00:09:26,712
I was looking for adventure,
193
00:09:27,296 --> 00:09:29,339
looking for the future.

[music ends]
195
00:09:30,507 --> 00:09:31,466
[Martha] At Barnard,
196
00:09:31,466 --> 00:09:36,722
there was one woman who was driven
to school in a great big Rolls-Royce.
197
00:09:36,722 --> 00:09:39,308
And we all sort of scratched our heads.
"Who the heck is that?"
198
00:09:40,267 --> 00:09:42,060
She came up to me one day in an art class.
199
00:09:42,060 --> 00:09:44,688
And she said, "I have a brother
who goes to Yale Law School."
200
00:09:44,688 --> 00:09:47,065
"Would you care to have a date with him?"
201
00:09:47,065 --> 00:09:48,066
[mellow music playing]
202
00:09:48,066 --> 00:09:51,153
[Martha] He picked me up
in his little yellow Mercedes sedan.
203
00:09:51,153 --> 00:09:53,155
I had never been in a Mercedes before.
204
00:09:53,155 --> 00:09:56,450
We went out to dinner.
He was very polite and handsome.
205
00:09:56,450 --> 00:09:58,201
And he had traveled a lot.
206
00:09:58,201 --> 00:10:01,496
It was exciting to meet
a sophisticated young man.
207
00:10:01,496 --> 00:10:05,667
And he had an American Express card,
which was a very big deal in those days.
208
00:10:07,127 --> 00:10:10,422
And he was just intriguing,
playful, and nice.
209
00:10:11,048 --> 00:10:13,383
By the end of dinner, I was madly in love.
210
00:10:15,135 --> 00:10:17,137
{\an8}Andy Stewart, oh my gosh.
211
00:10:17,137 --> 00:10:18,430
{\an8}A beam of light.
212
00:10:21,016 --> 00:10:22,726
[Martha] Andy was so nice,
213
00:10:23,602 --> 00:10:25,228
not at all like my father.
214
00:10:26,772 --> 00:10:29,274
He would send me money for a train ticket,
215
00:10:29,274 --> 00:10:32,486
and I would visit him
every single weekend up at Yale.
216
00:10:35,322 --> 00:10:37,449
I had never slept with anybody
before this.
217
00:10:37,991 --> 00:10:39,660
He was very aggressive.
218
00:10:40,535 --> 00:10:41,578
And I liked it.
219
00:10:45,332 --> 00:10:46,249
He proposed.
220
00:10:47,501 --> 00:10:49,836
It seemed such a natural thing to do.
221
00:10:50,671 --> 00:10:52,506
Fall in love and get married.

[music fades]
223
00:10:55,175 --> 00:10:58,011
But I went home and told my dad,
and my dad slapped me.
224
00:10:58,762 --> 00:11:04,393
And he slapped me hard on my... on my face
and said, "No. You're not marrying him."
225
00:11:05,727 --> 00:11:07,020
"He's a Jew."

[melancholy music playing]
227
00:11:10,065 --> 00:11:12,067
I remember getting that slap.
228
00:11:13,485 --> 00:11:16,405
I was not at all surprised,
because he was a bigot.
229
00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:18,365
And he was impulsive.
230
00:11:21,576 --> 00:11:24,705
But I said, "I'm gonna get married
no matter what you think."

[poignant music playing]
232
00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:30,377
[Martha] With the help of my mother,
I made my wedding dress.
233
00:11:31,545 --> 00:11:34,339
It had many tiny, little
organdy-covered buttons down the back.
234
00:11:35,841 --> 00:11:38,051
It was such a beautiful little dress.
235
00:11:38,677 --> 00:11:40,303
The wedding day was very happy.
236
00:11:42,180 --> 00:11:43,098
Very nice.
237
00:11:44,808 --> 00:11:46,893
It was the beginning of my life.

[fast-paced strings music playing]
240
00:11:49,521 --> 00:11:52,649
[Martha] We decided that we would take
an extended honeymoon to Europe.
241
00:11:53,275 --> 00:11:54,901
This was like a five-month trip.
242
00:11:55,610 --> 00:11:58,947
I kept record of every menu,
every single thing we ate.
243
00:12:04,411 --> 00:12:05,287
It was eye-opening.
244
00:12:06,371 --> 00:12:08,039
The preparation of the food...
245
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:12,043
I didn't even know that olives tasted
anything other than those green olives
246
00:12:12,043 --> 00:12:14,004
with red pimento in them from a jar.
247
00:12:14,004 --> 00:12:17,758
Nobody was sophisticated
back home in the 1960s.
248
00:12:21,386 --> 00:12:22,554
The architecture...
249
00:12:24,306 --> 00:12:26,641
and especially the gardens I visited...
250
00:12:28,518 --> 00:12:34,065
it did awaken in me a love of cuisine,
a love of travel, a love of discovery.
251
00:12:35,150 --> 00:12:39,029
And I really felt this is the thing
I'd like to spend my life thinking about.

[Martha] We went across Italy,
255
00:12:46,661 --> 00:12:49,414
ending up in Florence
the night before Easter.
256
00:12:49,414 --> 00:12:51,208
And I had to go to church,
257
00:12:51,208 --> 00:12:53,418
and I went to the cathedral.
258
00:12:54,628 --> 00:12:56,087
Andy was back in the hotel room.
259
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:00,634
He didn't have any interest
in going to the Duomo with me.

264
00:13:18,026 --> 00:13:20,111
and met this very handsome guy.

I was this waif of a girl hanging out
in the cathedral on Easter Eve.

He was emotional. I was emotional.
269

It's just because
it was an emotional place.

00:13:36,837 --> 00:13:40,382
It was unlike anything
I had ever experienced.

and paintings all around you.

I had ever done before.

[male interviewer] Was it naughty,
or was it infidelity?
281

Neither. It was neither naughty
nor in... in... unfaithful.
282
00:14:18,628 --> 00:14:21,214
It was just emotional, of the moment.

That's how I looked at it.

00:14:23,466 --> 00:14:27,888
And it was exciting because,
I mean, it was a very emotional place.

My daughter, Alexis, was born.

Back then,
everybody was having babies so young.
293
00:15:02,672 --> 00:15:05,342
That was sort of, like,
the style and the habit.
294
00:15:06,051 --> 00:15:07,844
I thought it was a natural thing.
295
00:15:07,844 --> 00:15:11,848
And, uh, it turns out
it's not at all natural to be a mother.
296
00:15:12,849 --> 00:15:15,852
{\an8}It was hard for her to adapt
to being a mom.

{\an8}She was happy when Lexi went down
to nap so that she could be on her own.

She took care of Lexi,
but she didn't dote on her.

She was always a little bit chilly.

stuff like that.

That wasn't part of our growing up.

We were loved

sort of obtusely
when we were supposed to be loved.
308
00:15:59,771 --> 00:16:03,733
I mean, there was not a lot
of "affection" in our house.

00:16:03,733 --> 00:16:05,402
It was the everyday.

00:17:37,327 --> 00:17:39,579
And I learned a lot at that firm.
343
00:17:40,205 --> 00:17:43,416
[Andy] Martha was really better
than everyone at everything.
344
00:17:43,416 --> 00:17:46,753
Very sleek, socially, with our clients.
345
00:17:46,753 --> 00:17:48,171
They really loved her.
346
00:17:48,171 --> 00:17:50,340
She said my broker
will take me out to lunch.
347
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:52,717
The broker was Martha Stewart. [laughs]
348
00:17:52,717 --> 00:17:54,928
That didn't make for a bad lunch.
349
00:17:57,013 --> 00:17:58,515
[Martha] I was meeting a lot of people,
350
00:17:58,515 --> 00:18:02,143
and that's where I learned how
to behave around billionaires.
351
00:18:02,143 --> 00:18:03,978
And, remember, at that time,
352
00:18:03,978 --> 00:18:06,815
to be a billionaire
was pretty extraordinary.
353
00:18:07,398 --> 00:18:09,859
I started to rake in a lot of money.
354
00:18:09,859 --> 00:18:12,779
{\an8}She was making a quarter
of a million per year.
355
00:18:12,779 --> 00:18:15,281
{\an8}Clients were making money hand over fist.
356
00:18:16,074 --> 00:18:17,492
[music fades]
357
00:18:17,492 --> 00:18:22,789
[Andy] We recommended a stock,
and it went from six to 90 to six.
358
00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:23,790
[somber music playing]
359
00:18:23,790 --> 00:18:26,042
[Andy] And all of a sudden,
they were losing money.
360
00:18:26,042 --> 00:18:27,585
It really killed Martha
361
00:18:27,585 --> 00:18:32,048
to be wrong on the market
and lost money for people.
362
00:18:32,841 --> 00:18:36,094
Whatever Martha can control
is gonna come out fine.
363
00:18:36,761 --> 00:18:41,015
It's what she can't control
that is gonna drive her crazy.
364
00:18:42,267 --> 00:18:46,563
I started to burn out
because it was not an easy job.
365
00:18:47,647 --> 00:18:49,274
So I quit Wall Street.
366
00:18:50,233 --> 00:18:54,237
And we moved to Westport, Connecticut...
367
00:18:56,197 --> 00:18:58,950
the furthest commuting town from New York.
368
00:18:58,950 --> 00:19:00,910
[male interviewer]
Why'd you pick Westport?
369
00:19:01,494 --> 00:19:03,288
Because we found the dream house,
370
00:19:03,997 --> 00:19:07,041
the wreck of Turkey Hill Road
that we had to have...
371
00:19:07,041 --> 00:19:08,084
[music fades]
372
00:19:08,084 --> 00:19:09,794
...and to fix it up, you know?
373
00:19:10,962 --> 00:19:14,132
If I hadn't had Turkey Hill,
I would not be me right now.
374
00:19:14,132 --> 00:19:17,510
But I would've been somebody.
I would've been somebody else.
375
00:19:18,219 --> 00:19:21,139
And I wouldn't just wouldn't have been
Martha Stewart, homemaker.
376
00:19:21,973 --> 00:19:23,391
[pensive music playing]
377
00:19:23,391 --> 00:19:27,854
[Martha] It was a run-down farmhouse
that had to be completely renovated.
378
00:19:28,646 --> 00:19:32,317
{\an8}My parents moved from
a beautiful apartment on Riverside Drive,
379
00:19:32,317 --> 00:19:33,818
{\an8}dragged me to Connecticut.
380
00:19:33,818 --> 00:19:38,281
We moved into this "charming" farmhouse
381
00:19:38,281 --> 00:19:40,158
with a bathtub with no shower,
382
00:19:40,158 --> 00:19:43,661
using the Tupperware
to dunk water to wash your hair with.
383
00:19:44,287 --> 00:19:46,706
[man on TV] The questions
that have been raised in the wake of...
384
00:19:46,706 --> 00:19:48,333
[Martha] It was during Watergate,
385
00:19:48,333 --> 00:19:50,877
painting the house from top to bottom,
386
00:19:50,877 --> 00:19:54,631
painting it by myself
on a ladder listening to Watergate.
387
00:19:54,631 --> 00:19:57,342
[man on TV] ...the burglars who
broke into the headquarters
388
00:19:57,342 --> 00:19:59,969
of the Democratic National Committee
at the Watergate...
389
00:19:59,969 --> 00:20:03,556
We were like the original settlers
in Westport, Connecticut.
390
00:20:03,556 --> 00:20:04,974
[rooster crows]
391
00:20:04,974 --> 00:20:07,936
{\an8}1976, chickens in your backyard.
392
00:20:07,936 --> 00:20:10,230
{\an8}The neighbors called Town Hall going,
393
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:14,192
"There's a lady over here on Turkey Hill
that's got chickens in her backyard."
394
00:20:14,192 --> 00:20:15,568
It was unheard of.
395
00:20:15,568 --> 00:20:19,530
It was a little country set,
and Martha was playing in it.
396
00:20:19,530 --> 00:20:22,408
[Martha] I really liked the idea
of fixing up a property,
397
00:20:22,408 --> 00:20:25,286
of expanding a property,
of growing things,
398
00:20:25,286 --> 00:20:28,039
going back to the roots
of Nutley, New Jersey.
399
00:20:28,539 --> 00:20:30,375
{\an8}The gardens were so beautiful.
400
00:20:30,375 --> 00:20:33,753
{\an8}She created those gardens
with her bare hands.
401
00:20:33,753 --> 00:20:35,004
[whimsical music playing]
402
00:20:35,004 --> 00:20:38,883
[Kathy] They seemed to be having fun
building Turkey Hill Farm.
403
00:20:39,509 --> 00:20:41,636
[Martha] Those early days
on Turkey Hill Road
404
00:20:41,636 --> 00:20:46,349
made me realize that I really did enjoy
homemaking, homekeeping,
405
00:20:46,349 --> 00:20:48,017
keeping a home.
406
00:20:48,810 --> 00:20:50,603
Andy became the president
407
00:20:50,603 --> 00:20:53,773
of the ultimate
art book publisher in America.
408
00:20:54,357 --> 00:20:55,858
I thought, "Oh my gosh, how exciting."
409
00:20:55,858 --> 00:20:58,569
"We can have all the people
that are writing these books
410
00:20:58,569 --> 00:21:00,196
at our house for dinner."
411
00:21:00,196 --> 00:21:01,656
I was thrilled to entertain.
412
00:21:02,407 --> 00:21:03,700
{\an8}She hosted so much.
413
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:07,578
{\an8}She'd invite all the neighbors.
Thanksgivings and Easters...
414
00:21:07,578 --> 00:21:09,998
The food itself, just delicious.
415
00:21:11,624 --> 00:21:14,544
[Martha] It occurred to me
that I enjoyed creating
416
00:21:14,544 --> 00:21:18,381
fanciful, lovely,
evocative kinds of entertaining.
417
00:21:18,381 --> 00:21:20,383
Why not start a catering business?
418
00:21:20,383 --> 00:21:21,426
[pensive music playing]
419
00:21:21,426 --> 00:21:22,719
{\an8}She was a genius.
420
00:21:22,719 --> 00:21:24,512
{\an8}She went from being a model
421
00:21:24,512 --> 00:21:26,723
{\an8}to being a stockbroker,
422
00:21:26,723 --> 00:21:31,853
and then, all of a sudden,
she was catering parties for her friends.
423
00:21:32,478 --> 00:21:35,064
[Martha] I would make plum puddings
for 200 people,
424
00:21:35,064 --> 00:21:36,941
and I would do scones,
425
00:21:36,941 --> 00:21:39,027
and I would do jams and jellies.
426
00:21:40,236 --> 00:21:43,698
Handcrafted. Nothing store-bought.
Everything homemade.
427
00:21:45,116 --> 00:21:47,702
That caught on like wildfire.
428
00:21:47,702 --> 00:21:49,537
The Museum of Modern Art.
429
00:21:49,537 --> 00:21:50,913
The Metropolitan Museum.
430
00:21:50,913 --> 00:21:54,625
A house in Greenwich or in a house
in Westchester or a house in Bedford.
431
00:21:54,625 --> 00:21:58,546
A cocktail party from six to eight
at Sotheby's for 700 people.
432
00:21:58,546 --> 00:22:03,134
We tried to be a little outrageous.
We wanted to catch people's attention.
433
00:22:03,134 --> 00:22:04,719
{\an8}It wasn't just a vodka bottle.
434
00:22:04,719 --> 00:22:07,597
{\an8}It was a vodka bottle
sitting in a block of ice.
435
00:22:07,597 --> 00:22:09,015
{\an8}Big crudités tables,
436
00:22:09,015 --> 00:22:11,976
{\an8}vegetables and grapes
and fruits and cheeses.
437
00:22:11,976 --> 00:22:14,437
{\an8}Nothing like that
had ever been done before.
438
00:22:14,437 --> 00:22:16,481
[Lloyd] It was movie-set stuff.
439
00:22:17,065 --> 00:22:21,361
{\an8}Just the vision of those strawberries
just falling out of the basket.
440
00:22:21,361 --> 00:22:22,487
{\an8}Beautiful.
441
00:22:23,446 --> 00:22:25,156
[Martha] If you look
at the old Dutch masters
442
00:22:25,156 --> 00:22:27,909
and their great displays
of food and fruits,
443
00:22:29,369 --> 00:22:31,621
all of that did inspire me tremendously.
444
00:22:31,621 --> 00:22:34,332
[man] Martha knows how
to create pleasure and excitement.
445
00:22:34,332 --> 00:22:38,419
She caters parties for such luminaries
as Paul Newman, Beverly Sills...
446
00:22:38,419 --> 00:22:41,214
[Martha] We captured the attention
of many, many people
447
00:22:41,214 --> 00:22:43,424
and became a million-dollar business.
448
00:22:43,424 --> 00:22:45,927
That was the beginning of Martha Stewart.
449
00:22:48,471 --> 00:22:49,680
[music fades]
450
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,725
{\an8}Martha had this
successful catering business,
451
00:22:53,309 --> 00:22:56,938
a husband who runs
this amazing publishing company,
452
00:22:56,938 --> 00:22:58,314
the perfect marriage.
453
00:22:58,981 --> 00:23:00,858
Things look fabulous.
454
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,276
But are they?
455
00:23:02,276 --> 00:23:04,195
[melancholy music playing]
456
00:23:04,195 --> 00:23:06,197
[Martha] He was not satisfied at home.
457
00:23:06,697 --> 00:23:08,950
I don't know
how many different girlfriends
458
00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:10,076
he had during this time,
459
00:23:10,076 --> 00:23:12,036
but I think there were quite a few.
460
00:23:14,288 --> 00:23:16,416
Young women, listen to my advice.
461
00:23:16,416 --> 00:23:18,626
If you're married,
and you think you're happily married,
462
00:23:18,626 --> 00:23:22,046
and your husband starts to cheat on you,
he's a piece of shit.
463
00:23:23,131 --> 00:23:25,508
And look at him.
It's a piece of shit and get out of it.
464
00:23:25,508 --> 00:23:26,759
Get out of that marriage.
465
00:23:27,844 --> 00:23:30,471
But I couldn't do that,
couldn't walk away.
466
00:23:30,471 --> 00:23:32,056
[music fades]
467
00:23:32,056 --> 00:23:34,725
[interviewer] Didn't you have
an affair early on in the relationship
468
00:23:34,725 --> 00:23:36,769
or when you were a stockbroker?
469
00:23:36,769 --> 00:23:39,730
Uh, yeah, but I don't think
Andy ever knew about that.
470
00:23:39,730 --> 00:23:41,524
- He did say he knew about it.
- He did?
471
00:23:41,524 --> 00:23:43,025
- Yes, you had confessed to him.
- Oh.
472
00:23:43,025 --> 00:23:45,278
He says he didn't stray from the marriage
473
00:23:45,278 --> 00:23:48,114
until you told him
you had already strayed.
474
00:23:48,114 --> 00:23:49,407
Oh, that's not true.
475
00:23:49,407 --> 00:23:52,618
- I don't think.
- But what happened? You had an affair...?
476
00:23:52,618 --> 00:23:59,167
I had a very brief affair
with a very attractive Irish man.
477
00:23:59,917 --> 00:24:02,962
And, um, it was just nothing.
478
00:24:03,629 --> 00:24:04,464
It was nothing
479
00:24:05,256 --> 00:24:07,383
in terms of...
It would never have broken up...
480
00:24:07,383 --> 00:24:09,802
I would never have broken up
a marriage for it.
481
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:11,512
It was nothing.
482
00:24:12,805 --> 00:24:13,764
It was nothing.
483
00:24:20,271 --> 00:24:22,231
It was like the kiss in the cathedral.
484
00:24:23,941 --> 00:24:26,194
[whimsical strings music playing]
485
00:24:26,194 --> 00:24:28,905
{\an8}Here were two people who had it all.
486
00:24:29,489 --> 00:24:32,658
{\an8}But I don't think they ever
found happiness.
487
00:24:33,284 --> 00:24:36,370
Lexi got caught in the middle of it.
488
00:24:36,370 --> 00:24:40,500
She was so confused and so angry herself.
489
00:24:41,167 --> 00:24:44,837
{\an8}I grew up in a very uncomfortable house.
490
00:24:44,837 --> 00:24:47,798
{\an8}I've learned to suppress
most of my emotions.
491
00:24:48,299 --> 00:24:55,306
{\an8}[Kathy] Martha didn't have that great joy
in her marriage and raising a child.
492
00:24:57,350 --> 00:24:59,477
And that was just the missing link.
493
00:25:00,645 --> 00:25:02,980
{\an8}You'd hear arguments with the staff.
494
00:25:03,648 --> 00:25:06,150
{\an8}She wanted something done
a particular way.
495
00:25:06,150 --> 00:25:07,985
{\an8}Very much of a perfectionist.
496
00:25:09,028 --> 00:25:11,864
{\an8}The strong hand of their father,
497
00:25:11,864 --> 00:25:13,866
{\an8}that baton was passed to Martha.
498
00:25:14,825 --> 00:25:17,119
{\an8}People felt abused by her.
499
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,458
{\an8}She got such wrong ideas about success.
500
00:25:23,543 --> 00:25:25,336
{\an8}[Lloyd] She is a great white shark.
501
00:25:25,336 --> 00:25:27,296
{\an8}You could get bit.
502
00:25:27,296 --> 00:25:30,841
{\an8}She would shake people down.
You know, she was ruthless.
503
00:25:30,841 --> 00:25:34,178
In the business world,
that's a great trait for a man.
504
00:25:34,762 --> 00:25:36,264
But, you know, for a woman...
505
00:25:38,057 --> 00:25:39,600
You know, she was a bitch.
506
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,352
[music fades]
507
00:25:42,186 --> 00:25:45,064
{\an8}You know the story
of how she was discovered?
508
00:25:45,064 --> 00:25:48,359
{\an8}She was catering a book party for Andy.
509
00:25:49,235 --> 00:25:51,571
[Martha] It was
quite an extraordinary event.
510
00:25:51,571 --> 00:25:54,740
All the waiters and waitresses
were dressed as fairies.
511
00:25:54,740 --> 00:25:58,494
[Isolde] Another publisher said,
"You should do an entertaining book."
512
00:25:58,494 --> 00:26:01,914
[Martha] I said to myself,
"Catering is very ephemeral."
513
00:26:01,914 --> 00:26:02,915
You work so hard,
514
00:26:02,915 --> 00:26:05,585
you get a beautiful celebration,
and then it's gone.
515
00:26:06,210 --> 00:26:08,921
But if you write a book that's well-liked,
516
00:26:08,921 --> 00:26:11,299
that is forever.
517
00:26:11,882 --> 00:26:16,137
At first, my publisher wanted it to be
a book that was in black and white
518
00:26:16,137 --> 00:26:20,266
with some pictures and recipes,
more a cookbook than anything else.
519
00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:23,978
{\an8}The first thing she did
was make it pretty clear
520
00:26:23,978 --> 00:26:26,147
{\an8}that this was going to be her book.
521
00:26:26,147 --> 00:26:29,191
And if we didn't wanna do it
the way she wanted to do it,
522
00:26:29,191 --> 00:26:30,860
she wasn't interested in working with us.
523
00:26:31,569 --> 00:26:37,408
[Martha] I wanted it to be an illustrated,
all-color photographs of food and ideas,
524
00:26:37,408 --> 00:26:39,619
a book that anybody could pick up
525
00:26:39,619 --> 00:26:43,914
and learn how to have
an interesting celebration.
526
00:26:45,666 --> 00:26:49,629
[woman] "I grew up
in a large family that always had guests."
527
00:26:49,629 --> 00:26:53,257
"I loved the ease with which
my mother added extra places,
528
00:26:53,257 --> 00:26:55,926
a big platter of vegetables,
a special pie,
529
00:26:55,926 --> 00:26:59,513
flowers to the family table
to create a special occasion."
530
00:27:01,390 --> 00:27:02,767
{\an8}So ambitious.
531
00:27:02,767 --> 00:27:06,062
{\an8}Entertaining was about so much.
It wasn't just about food.
532
00:27:06,062 --> 00:27:07,271
It was visionary.
533
00:27:08,022 --> 00:27:12,526
[Martha] I wanted to provide education
and information and inspiration.
534
00:27:12,526 --> 00:27:14,695
Not too expensive, not too lavish.
535
00:27:14,695 --> 00:27:18,616
Just common enough so that the lady
in the diner serving your coffee
536
00:27:18,616 --> 00:27:21,619
could go home
and make the same thing at her house
537
00:27:21,619 --> 00:27:24,372
that my friends in Greenwich
in their big mansions could make.
538
00:27:24,372 --> 00:27:25,706
It was all the same.
539
00:27:26,624 --> 00:27:29,335
{\an8}Martha tried to show everyday women
540
00:27:29,335 --> 00:27:32,129
{\an8}that they could bring beauty
to their homes.
541
00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:35,633
[Martha] I was the audience.
That was the secret.
542
00:27:35,633 --> 00:27:39,011
I was everybody who was reading that book.
And they knew it.
543
00:27:39,553 --> 00:27:41,847
That authenticity was so important.
544
00:27:41,847 --> 00:27:43,516
[mellow music playing]
545
00:27:43,516 --> 00:27:47,186
[Martha] They knew I was the same person.
I cleaned my own house.
546
00:27:47,186 --> 00:27:50,022
I raised my own child. I had my husband.
547
00:27:50,022 --> 00:27:51,357
I had my garden.
548
00:27:52,525 --> 00:27:55,611
The personal story
meant a lot to the reader.
549
00:27:57,405 --> 00:28:03,119
{\an8}She was the first woman that saw
the marketability of her personal life.
550
00:28:05,788 --> 00:28:08,332
- Martha was the first influencer.

{\an8}[TV host] She is Martha Stewart,
a caterer extraordinaire.
553
00:28:11,877 --> 00:28:14,922
I gotta tell you, this book,
I've spent three hours just looking at it.
554
00:28:14,922 --> 00:28:18,676
[announcer] When it comes to entertaining,
she literally wrote the book.
555
00:28:18,676 --> 00:28:20,511
So would you like to stuff a snow pea?
556
00:28:20,511 --> 00:28:22,763
[male TV host] "Would you like to stuff
a snow pea?"

- [laughter]
- Would you like to stuff a snow pea?
558
00:28:26,475 --> 00:28:29,103
[Susan] Martha was getting
a lot of attention.
559
00:28:29,103 --> 00:28:31,021
She was blonde and beautiful.
560
00:28:31,021 --> 00:28:33,190
She was the package.
561
00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:35,818
And Crown was signing her up
for more books,
562
00:28:35,818 --> 00:28:37,737
so she was off and running.
563
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,906
You know, she had one gear, forward.
564
00:28:40,906 --> 00:28:44,660
She signed one of my books,
"Perfectly perfect."
565
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:49,123
Everything she was gonna do
would be perfectly perfect.
566
00:28:49,123 --> 00:28:51,709
And I think, in a way, it ruined her life.
567
00:28:52,209 --> 00:28:54,754
Because she's not "perfectly perfect."

569
00:28:56,046 --> 00:28:59,008
[Martha] I was spending all that time
doing all that stuff

and not really concentrating on my "life."
571
00:29:02,428 --> 00:29:04,764
[interviewer] It sounds
like you're expressing regret.
572
00:29:04,764 --> 00:29:07,099
Well, what is more important,
573
00:29:07,683 --> 00:29:09,435
a marriage or a career?
574
00:29:11,103 --> 00:29:12,730
- You tell me.
- I don't know.
575
00:29:13,230 --> 00:29:15,232
[somber music playing]
576
00:29:17,777 --> 00:29:21,947
{\an8}Andy was extremely busy
in his publishing business,
577
00:29:21,947 --> 00:29:24,241
{\an8}and when he was around,
578
00:29:24,241 --> 00:29:26,660
it was always strained.
579
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:28,746
She was critical of him
580
00:29:28,746 --> 00:29:32,875
in terms of what he'd be wearing
or how he said something.
581
00:29:33,501 --> 00:29:36,670
Andy handled her business arrangements.
582
00:29:36,670 --> 00:29:37,797
Over the years,
583
00:29:37,797 --> 00:29:42,301
they were much more
like colleagues than partners in life.
584
00:29:43,260 --> 00:29:45,387
They were in different universes.
585
00:29:45,387 --> 00:29:50,392
And when Martha wanted Andy
to be present in her universe,
586
00:29:50,392 --> 00:29:52,728
he wasn't eager to be there.
587
00:29:53,437 --> 00:29:57,107
There was greater
and greater friction between them.
588
00:29:58,526 --> 00:30:02,071
And then there were rumors floating around
589
00:30:02,071 --> 00:30:06,450
that Andy had some sort
of involvement with the girl
590
00:30:06,450 --> 00:30:10,579
who was doing the flower arrangements
at Turkey Hill Farm.
591
00:30:11,163 --> 00:30:16,669
Martha was picking up on everything
and getting more and more upset.
592
00:30:16,669 --> 00:30:18,420
She would be frantic.
593
00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:21,423
Migraines and sleeplessness.
594
00:30:21,423 --> 00:30:26,095
At one point, she showed me where
she tore her hair out of her own head.
595
00:30:26,095 --> 00:30:28,556
She was mean to her staff.
596
00:30:29,056 --> 00:30:31,392
She had lost control of Andy.
597
00:30:31,934 --> 00:30:34,270
And so she was making everybody pay.
598
00:30:36,856 --> 00:30:38,315
[Martha] Robyn worked for me.
599
00:30:38,315 --> 00:30:40,651
And she'd lost her apartment
or something, and I said,
600
00:30:40,651 --> 00:30:44,321
"Oh, you can move into the...
into the barn on the lower two acres."
601
00:30:44,321 --> 00:30:46,490
We had a little apartment down there.
602
00:30:46,490 --> 00:30:49,785
And when I was traveling,
Andy started up with her.
603
00:30:51,996 --> 00:30:54,623
It was like I put out a snack for Andy.
604
00:30:55,374 --> 00:30:57,001
[interviewer] Did you confront her?
605
00:30:57,668 --> 00:30:59,253
I did. Sure, I did.
606
00:30:59,253 --> 00:31:03,424
I kicked her out immediately.
You know, "What the hell are you doing?"
607
00:31:04,717 --> 00:31:07,887
Andy betrayed me right on our property.
608
00:31:10,014 --> 00:31:10,848
Not nice.

Martha Stewart is with us today.

She's a contributing editor
of House Beautiful and wedding expert.

- I mean, this woman, you know weddings.
- [Martha] I think I do. I've seen...
612
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:24,111
{\an8}She was promoting the Weddings book.
613
00:31:24,111 --> 00:31:27,823
{\an8}I remember just thinking
that was a horrible confluence.
614
00:31:33,370 --> 00:31:35,831
[Martha] It's hard for me,
personally, to talk about it.
615

et cetera, et cetera.

- I just don't.
- [music ends]

So guess what?

"My skin is worried and many lines
that were not there are now there."

of your other women."

what we did together on others."

I'm in a really fragile,
breakable state right now."

maybe you are planning to marry her
and keep her with my money
633
00:32:30,552 --> 00:32:33,389
so that she can paint herself
in portraits in the nude."

"It is very titillating, isn't it."

00:32:36,350 --> 00:32:38,769
"Maybe she will paint you
in the nude also."

"I'd love to see that painting."

my privacy and my professional life."

666
00:34:13,113 --> 00:34:15,282
I was 40 years old. I was gorgeous.
667

You know, I was a desirous woman.
668
00:34:17,951 --> 00:34:20,954
But he was treating me like a castaway.
669
00:34:21,455 --> 00:34:23,457
He treated me really badly.
670
00:34:24,208 --> 00:34:27,294
And, in return,
I guess I treated him badly.
671
00:34:28,212 --> 00:34:32,257
I didn't go run off with people.
He was running off with people.
672
00:34:32,257 --> 00:34:36,095
I always said I was a swan,
and I was... I was...
673
00:34:36,095 --> 00:34:39,264
And like all swans, they are monogamous.
674
00:34:39,932 --> 00:34:42,309
And I thought monogamy was admirable.
675
00:34:43,352 --> 00:34:45,187
I did. I thought it was admirable.
676
00:34:46,188 --> 00:34:50,359
But it turned out that it wasn't--
It didn't save a marriage.

00:43:22,078 --> 00:43:25,999
No, and that's probably why I haven't had
very many personal relationships with men,
844
00:43:25,999 --> 00:43:26,916
for example.
845
00:43:27,459 --> 00:43:29,085
Uh, because I...
846
00:43:31,004 --> 00:43:32,547
[scoffs] ...couldn't care less.
847
00:43:32,547 --> 00:43:35,300
I don't know
what the real reason is. [laughs]
848
00:43:35,300 --> 00:43:36,217
Um...
849
00:43:36,217 --> 00:43:39,220
It doesn't interest me so much to know,
you know,
850
00:43:39,220 --> 00:43:42,599
"Oh, Charles," you know,
"How do you feel this second?"
851
00:43:42,599 --> 00:43:44,142
I don't care, actually.
852
00:43:44,768 --> 00:43:45,894
I do care about,
853
00:43:45,894 --> 00:43:48,730
"Charles, what are you doing?
What are you thinking about?"
854
00:43:48,730 --> 00:43:53,193
So I sort of gravitate towards
people who are doing things all the time.
855
00:43:54,110 --> 00:43:56,363
And I think more
about everything that I'm doing,
856
00:43:56,363 --> 00:43:59,699
things that I'm working on,
things that I'd like to work on,
857
00:43:59,699 --> 00:44:01,368
things that I'd like to accomplish.
858
00:44:01,368 --> 00:44:02,786
That's where I'm best.
859
00:44:02,786 --> 00:44:04,371
[upbeat strings music playing]
860
00:44:05,163 --> 00:44:07,874
{\an8}The next step was to do television.
861
00:44:07,874 --> 00:44:12,087
{\an8}But Time was
a very, very conservative company.
862
00:44:13,838 --> 00:44:16,758
{\an8}They felt that if people saw Martha on TV,
863
00:44:16,758 --> 00:44:20,011
{\an8}they would not feel like they needed
to buy the magazine.
864
00:44:20,011 --> 00:44:22,806
[Martha] I always had hoped
that I would be doing television
865
00:44:22,806 --> 00:44:25,266
in conjunction with the magazine.
866
00:44:25,266 --> 00:44:26,851
That was called synergy,
867
00:44:26,851 --> 00:44:28,561
the dirty word... [chuckles]
868
00:44:28,561 --> 00:44:30,522
...in the 1990s.
869
00:44:30,522 --> 00:44:31,773
I was considered crazy.
870
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:33,441
But it worked.
871
00:44:34,067 --> 00:44:37,237
{\an8}If you had said before Martha existed,
872
00:44:37,237 --> 00:44:41,825
{\an8}"Do you want a TV show about someone
who has much more money than you have,

than you'll ever be,
874
00:44:44,411 --> 00:44:48,540
lives this amazing life, and does all
these things with her very own hands,
875
00:44:48,540 --> 00:44:50,291
they would have said, "Shit, no."
876
00:44:50,291 --> 00:44:53,962
{\an8}But once you made it, they loved it.
877
00:44:53,962 --> 00:44:56,589
It's a good thing.
It's a good thing. It's a good thing.
878
00:44:56,589 --> 00:44:59,092
{\an8}She teaches better than anybody.
879
00:44:59,092 --> 00:45:02,220
{\an8}Not only that you can understand it
but that you wanna do it.
880
00:45:02,220 --> 00:45:03,304
Don't overwork it.
881
00:45:03,304 --> 00:45:07,142
{\an8}We had a whole generation of young women
whose mothers had worked,
882
00:45:07,142 --> 00:45:09,561
{\an8}so they didn't know how to do things.
883
00:45:10,145 --> 00:45:13,982
And she felt we needed
a way to show people
884
00:45:13,982 --> 00:45:15,692
exactly how to do it,
885
00:45:15,692 --> 00:45:16,735
step by step.
886
00:45:16,735 --> 00:45:21,906
{\an8}What we now call DIY,
that was a revolution for America.
887
00:45:21,906 --> 00:45:25,910
Finally, a subject matter
that everyone kind of pooh-poohed
888
00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:29,205
has all of a sudden
become a national craze.
889
00:45:29,205 --> 00:45:31,499
- It is a craze.
- What is this subject?
890
00:45:31,499 --> 00:45:32,625
Living. Living.
891
00:45:32,625 --> 00:45:34,252
Everyday living.
892
00:45:34,252 --> 00:45:37,505
It has always been,
for me, a very serious subject.
893
00:45:37,505 --> 00:45:40,383
Gentlemen, start your engines!
894
00:45:40,383 --> 00:45:41,718
[engines revving]
895
00:45:41,718 --> 00:45:45,263
[Martha] Kmart was going wild.
Everybody was buying everything.
896
00:45:45,263 --> 00:45:49,601
We were making, like, $70 million a year,
straight to the bottom line.
897
00:45:50,185 --> 00:45:54,272
{\an8}She saw that she could create
an empire for herself.
898
00:45:55,482 --> 00:46:00,612
{\an8}Martha was able to buy her name back
and her magazine from Time.
899
00:46:00,612 --> 00:46:02,572
{\an8}She went to Kmart to get the money,
900
00:46:02,572 --> 00:46:05,074
{\an8}and Kmart advanced her
the money against royalties.
901
00:46:05,074 --> 00:46:09,579
{\an8}It turned out to be a very good thing,
if I can quote Martha. [laughs]
902
00:46:10,705 --> 00:46:13,500
{\an8}All of a sudden,
we owned 100% of everything.
903
00:46:14,959 --> 00:46:17,462
And that was the beginning of Martha, Inc.
904
00:46:20,048 --> 00:46:24,260
[Martha] The plan was to create a company
that was omnimedia in scope.
905
00:46:24,260 --> 00:46:28,139
It was my idea to make the plan
of the company the solar system.
906
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,683
One person at the center.
907
00:46:31,184 --> 00:46:33,144
{\an8}It hadn't been done like that before.
908
00:46:33,895 --> 00:46:38,274
[reporter] What started as a small
home-based catering business in 1976...
909
00:46:38,274 --> 00:46:40,026
- I love that.
- ...has become
910
00:46:40,026 --> 00:46:43,154
Martha Stewart Living Enterprises,
911
00:46:43,154 --> 00:46:45,031
a multimedia corporation
912
00:46:45,031 --> 00:46:48,368
bringing in something
like $200 million a year.
913
00:46:48,952 --> 00:46:52,455
Probably the only one-woman,
one-person conglomerate.
914
00:46:52,997 --> 00:46:55,083
{\an8}She was like a superstar.
915
00:46:55,083 --> 00:46:57,710
{\an8}It was Martha Stewart
everywhere you looked.
916
00:46:57,710 --> 00:46:59,671
{\an8}[TV host] Having finally freed herself
from Time,
917
00:46:59,671 --> 00:47:03,299
Martha Stewart is already plotting
her next big move, going public.
918
00:47:03,842 --> 00:47:06,010
[Martha] Going public
is the American dream.
919
00:47:08,471 --> 00:47:10,390
[TV announcer] Now, copy this.
920
00:47:11,266 --> 00:47:12,517
Martha Stewart.
921
00:47:12,517 --> 00:47:16,437
Is the pristine princess
really the queen of mean?
922
00:47:17,021 --> 00:47:19,774
America knows her
as the happy little homemaker.
923
00:47:19,774 --> 00:47:23,444
{\an8}The more you know about this woman,
the less you like her.
924
00:47:24,362 --> 00:47:25,530
{\an8}In the '90s,
925
00:47:25,530 --> 00:47:28,700
{\an8}that's when she really
started getting slammed in the press.
926
00:47:28,700 --> 00:47:32,829
{\an8}"She's mentally unstable.
She's crazy. She's insane."
927
00:47:33,413 --> 00:47:36,082
That was not helpful right before the IPO.
928
00:47:36,958 --> 00:47:40,503
{\an8}When we were going public,
everything was about Martha.
929
00:47:40,503 --> 00:47:43,840
{\an8}All of this is hanging on one person,
one person, one person.
930
00:47:44,507 --> 00:47:47,176
{\an8}I remember hearing from
people in the financial world,
931
00:47:47,176 --> 00:47:50,054
{\an8}and they said,
"We're staying away from it."
932
00:47:50,054 --> 00:47:53,016
[Martha] I thought it was
a really sound business plan.
933
00:47:53,016 --> 00:47:56,227
But when we presented this
to various investors,
934
00:47:56,227 --> 00:47:58,980
bankers thought it was
a vulnerable investment
935
00:47:58,980 --> 00:48:01,774
because of one person at the center.
936
00:48:01,774 --> 00:48:06,613
They did not like the idea
of a woman-run company like this.
937
00:48:06,613 --> 00:48:07,530
Didn't like it.
938
00:48:08,114 --> 00:48:13,119
{\an8}The question of Martha being the brand,
939
00:48:13,119 --> 00:48:16,080
it was the biggest fear
on the part of the banks.
940
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,374
People kept saying,
"What if she gets hit by a bus?"
941
00:48:18,374 --> 00:48:19,959
"The brand would be destroyed."
942
00:48:22,420 --> 00:48:24,380
{\an8}Her brand was based on reputation
943
00:48:25,632 --> 00:48:28,593
{\an8}and also, frankly, her credibility.
944
00:48:28,593 --> 00:48:32,513
Well, here's a news flash.
Martha Stewart is not so perfect.
945
00:48:32,513 --> 00:48:36,142
In the "What's fake?" department,
Martha Stewart went on the Today show...
946
00:48:36,142 --> 00:48:40,021
You've been spending
too much time knitting frigging doilies.
947
00:48:40,021 --> 00:48:40,939
[audience laughs]
948
00:48:40,939 --> 00:48:44,442
And maybe that's why
your husband left you!
949
00:48:45,068 --> 00:48:49,697
{\an8}I've always been baffled by the degree
of hatred that people have.
950
00:48:49,697 --> 00:48:53,201
I sometimes think it's because
she does something that all of us,
951
00:48:53,201 --> 00:48:54,786
theoretically, could do.
952
00:48:54,786 --> 00:48:56,412
She just does it way better.
953
00:48:56,412 --> 00:48:59,958
It seems to drive people up the walls.
954
00:48:59,958 --> 00:49:01,751
[woman] Who has the time for all of this?
955
00:49:01,751 --> 00:49:04,629
For every woman who makes
a complicated gingerbread house,
956
00:49:04,629 --> 00:49:07,090
a million don't even have
the time to bake a cookie.
957
00:49:07,090 --> 00:49:08,549
She sets the standards.
958
00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:11,761
And when people see her home,
it makes you feel like a failure.
959
00:49:12,470 --> 00:49:16,516
[TV host] Whatever is the opposite
of laid-back is what Martha Stewart is.
960
00:49:17,225 --> 00:49:21,020
The cabinets are being painted on the in--
Don't-- You cannot say this.
961
00:49:21,020 --> 00:49:23,189
[TV host] A touch humorless, perhaps,
962
00:49:23,189 --> 00:49:24,857
but how funny would you be
963
00:49:24,857 --> 00:49:28,111
on four hours' sleep
and a life devoted to details?
964
00:49:28,111 --> 00:49:31,614
No, just tell him to leave
the facades unpainted.
965
00:49:31,614 --> 00:49:33,116
{\an8}She was a tough boss,
966
00:49:33,116 --> 00:49:36,953
{\an8}but, you know, like, some of the behavior
that she would be taken to task for
967
00:49:36,953 --> 00:49:39,914
would be applauded
if a man did it in the business world.
968
00:49:39,914 --> 00:49:43,084
That's a cliché at this point,
but it doesn't mean it wasn't true.
969
00:49:43,084 --> 00:49:45,545
She was obviously held
to a different standard.
970
00:49:46,379 --> 00:49:48,548
{\an8}She got under men's hair.
971
00:49:48,548 --> 00:49:52,969
{\an8}This idea that you could be
a homemaking expert who's a bitch.
972
00:49:52,969 --> 00:49:55,638
Like, that was such a clash of ideas.
973
00:49:56,139 --> 00:49:57,640
Don't crack it.

00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,643
[man] Someone watching Martha,
or reading Martha,
975
00:50:00,643 --> 00:50:05,815

But they might.

00:50:14,157 --> 00:50:16,701
They may not ever make that cake,
979
00:50:17,785 --> 00:50:19,245
but they can dream about it.

00:51:54,298 --> 00:51:59,178
and will continue to be
a very good thing for a very long time.
1008
00:52:00,555 --> 00:52:02,765
Gael Towey, would you stand up too?
1009
00:52:06,853 --> 00:52:11,399
{\an8}All the women went into the ladies' room,
and Martha's standing there going,
1010
00:52:12,108 --> 00:52:14,777
{\an8}"I'm the wealthiest woman in the world."
1011
00:52:14,777 --> 00:52:19,073
{\an8}...today's move that values
her stock at $1.2 billion.
1012
00:52:19,073 --> 00:52:20,491
{\an8}- Oh, nice.
- Quite a payday.
1013
00:52:20,491 --> 00:52:21,409
{\an8}Good for her.
1014
00:52:21,409 --> 00:52:25,830
{\an8}You couldn't have found somebody
who was happier at that moment in time.
1015
00:52:26,414 --> 00:52:31,502
She had achieved all the success
that a small girl from Nutley,
1016
00:52:31,502 --> 00:52:36,591
whose father was a salesperson
and whose mother was a teacher...
1017
00:52:38,301 --> 00:52:41,179
[TV host] You issued the stock,
and then how much did you make?
1018
00:52:41,179 --> 00:52:44,599
- So it's, like, a billion dollars.
- You're worth a billion dollars?
1019
00:52:44,599 --> 00:52:50,605
What does it mean to be the first female
self-made billionaire in American history?
1020
00:52:51,147 --> 00:52:53,107
People took me seriously.
1021
00:52:56,027 --> 00:52:58,529
I was invited to join
the New York Stock Exchange board.
1022
00:52:58,529 --> 00:53:00,865
I was on the board of Revlon.
1023
00:53:00,865 --> 00:53:03,659
[Kevin] We had this infusion of resources.
1024
00:53:03,659 --> 00:53:05,536
{\an8}It was just rocket fuel.
1025
00:53:05,536 --> 00:53:08,080
{\an8}We got an office down at Starrett-Lehigh.
1026
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,957
That building was awful.
1027
00:53:09,957 --> 00:53:12,960
But Martha saw nothing but potential.
1028
00:53:13,669 --> 00:53:17,590
It was like being on
an Olympic team with the best of the best.
1029
00:53:17,590 --> 00:53:20,468
We were producing more and more magazines.
1030
00:53:20,468 --> 00:53:23,095
It started off with Living,
and then we did Weddings,
1031
00:53:23,095 --> 00:53:25,348
and then we did Baby,
and then we did Kids,
1032
00:53:25,348 --> 00:53:28,142
and then we did Blueprint,
and then we did Whole Living,
1033
00:53:28,142 --> 00:53:29,602
and then Everyday Food.
1034
00:53:29,602 --> 00:53:31,687
And then there were the TV series.
1035
00:53:31,687 --> 00:53:33,272
Nothing we couldn't do.
1036
00:53:34,190 --> 00:53:38,527
{\an8}The rest of the world was starting
to realize her vision.
1037
00:53:40,279 --> 00:53:43,908
{\an8}[Martha] Joan Didion wrote
a very astute essay in The New Yorker
1038
00:53:43,908 --> 00:53:46,869
{\an8}about a woman like me becoming powerful.
1039

{\an8}[woman] "To her critics,

00:53:52,667 --> 00:53:54,502

1042

Martha wants more."

"And she wants it her way

not in the balls-out boys' club realms
of real estate or technology,

but in the delicate land
of doily hearts and wedding cakes."
1046
00:54:10,351 --> 00:54:15,189
"This is not a story about a woman
who made the best of traditional skills."

"This is a story
about a woman who did her own IPO."

"The dreams and the fears
into which Martha Stewart taps

are not of 'feminine' domesticity

[Martha] These brilliant men,
these brilliant bankers,
1064
00:55:17,501 --> 00:55:21,005
couldn't see the real value
in this idea of omnimedia.
1065
00:55:21,005 --> 00:55:22,506
They just didn't see it.
1066

But we showed 'em, didn't we?

{\an8}That was the pinnacle of success.

[mellow music playing]
1071
00:55:46,447 --> 00:55:49,158
[Martha] I was on my way to Cabo, Mexico,
1072
00:55:49,158 --> 00:55:52,161
traveling with my friend
Mariana Pasternak.
1073
00:55:52,745 --> 00:55:55,998
We had a fuel stop in San Antonio, Texas.
1074
00:55:55,998 --> 00:55:57,291
I called my office,
1075
00:55:57,291 --> 00:56:01,962
as a dutiful CEO of a New York
Stock Exchange company would do.
1076
00:56:02,463 --> 00:56:07,009
My assistant said my stockbroker
had called me about ImClone.
1077
00:56:07,009 --> 00:56:12,098
{\an8}ImClone was a biotech company started
by a friend of mine, Sam Waksal.
1078
00:56:13,557 --> 00:56:17,144
{\an8}Dr. Waksal had created
a drug called Erbitux
1079
00:56:17,144 --> 00:56:21,565
{\an8}that had great potential
for curing several diseases.
1080
00:56:22,358 --> 00:56:26,070
{\an8}So I called Peter Bacanovic,
who was my broker.
1081
00:56:26,070 --> 00:56:28,114
{\an8}It was a very short conversation saying,
1082
00:56:28,114 --> 00:56:30,616
"The stock's going down.
I think we should sell."
1083
00:56:30,616 --> 00:56:31,867
And I said, "Good. Sell."
1084
00:56:33,077 --> 00:56:34,954
Continued on my way to Cabo.
1085
00:56:35,538 --> 00:56:37,581
Didn't think about it again.
1086
00:56:37,581 --> 00:56:39,250
[firecrackers popping]

Probably six months later,

[anchor] The FBI arrested Sam Waksal
at 6:30 this morning.
1089
00:56:47,466 --> 00:56:49,385
[reporter] Did you commit insider trading?
1090
00:56:49,385 --> 00:56:52,972
[reporter 2] Samuel Waksal learned
on December 26th of last year,
1091
00:56:52,972 --> 00:56:57,852
{\an8}two days before the public announcement,
that the FDA would not approve Erbitux.
1092
00:56:59,061 --> 00:57:02,440
{\an8}Prosecutors charged Waksal then tipped
two family members.

{\an8}[reporter 3] He is among
the many examples of chief executives

accused of enriching themselves

00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:12,116
while many shareholders lose a fortune.
1096
00:57:12,950 --> 00:57:13,784
{\an8}At that time,
1097
00:57:13,784 --> 00:57:16,454
{\an8}you had these rich people
playing around with stocks
1098
00:57:16,454 --> 00:57:19,081
{\an8}and decide that the law
doesn't apply to them.

1101
00:57:25,045 --> 00:57:27,715
{\an8}I don't think that there's any word
for it but outrageous.
1102
00:57:27,715 --> 00:57:30,426
{\an8}The Department of Justice
set up a task force
1103
00:57:30,426 --> 00:57:32,094
{\an8}to focus on white-collar crime
1104
00:57:32,094 --> 00:57:34,763
{\an8}because the public confidence
was very quickly eroding

{\an8}like you read about almost every day?
1108
00:57:43,230 --> 00:57:46,817
{\an8}So, with ImClone,
the chronology is as follows.
1109
00:57:49,403 --> 00:57:53,115
{\an8}The government saw several people
having unloaded ImClone stock
1110
00:57:53,824 --> 00:57:56,994
{\an8}in advance of the announcement
of the results not going well.

[pensive music playing]
1116
00:58:07,129 --> 00:58:10,758
[Martha] It came as a surprise
when I got a call from my law firm
1117
00:58:10,758 --> 00:58:14,261
that I was being requested
by the U.S. attorney
1118
00:58:14,261 --> 00:58:17,890
for an appearance
to question my sale of ImClone.
1119
00:58:18,641 --> 00:58:21,143
They got me in a taxi,
and we went downtown.
1120
00:58:21,143 --> 00:58:22,353
My lawyers told me,
1121
00:58:22,353 --> 00:58:28,067
"Anything that is not clear, you just say,
'I do not remember. I do not recall.'"
1122
00:58:29,610 --> 00:58:32,655
I wasn't scared because I hadn't done
anything wrong that I knew about.
1123
00:58:32,655 --> 00:58:34,865
My lawyers didn't think
I had done anything wrong.
1124
00:58:35,783 --> 00:58:37,785
I did exactly what my lawyers had told me.
1125
00:58:37,785 --> 00:58:40,955
Answer everything as truthfully
and as honestly as I could possibly.
1126
00:58:40,955 --> 00:58:43,249
And when I didn't remember,
I said I didn't remember.

And I went back to work.
1128
00:58:46,752 --> 00:58:52,049
The public did not become aware
of this investigation until June of 2002,

01:00:37,696 --> 01:00:41,992
{\an8}And I certainly hope that the matter
is resolved, um, in the very near future.
1167
01:00:41,992 --> 01:00:45,829
{\an8}[Susan] The world was wondering
what went on with the stock sale,
1168
01:00:45,829 --> 01:00:48,874
{\an8}and there was no answer that was good.
1169
01:00:48,874 --> 01:00:52,711
{\an8}I have nothing to say on the matter.
I'm... I'm really not at liberty to say.
1170
01:00:52,711 --> 01:00:57,257
{\an8}And, uh, as I said, I think this will all
be resolved in the very near future.
1171
01:00:57,257 --> 01:01:00,803
{\an8}And I will be exonerated
of any ridiculousness.
1172
01:01:00,803 --> 01:01:03,514
{\an8}I... I know that image is...
is so important for you
1173
01:01:03,514 --> 01:01:06,141
{\an8}and everything that you've created
over the years.
1174
01:01:06,141 --> 01:01:10,354
{\an8}In the midst of all this, the stock price
of the company, um, has dropped.
1175
01:01:10,354 --> 01:01:13,524
{\an8}So the media frenzy that's surrounded this
the last week or so,
1176
01:01:13,524 --> 01:01:15,651
{\an8}how is it for you to be
in the middle of that?
1177
01:01:15,651 --> 01:01:18,070
{\an8}[Susan] The anchor really pushed her, and...
1178
01:01:18,070 --> 01:01:19,196
{\an8}[inaudible]
1179
01:01:19,863 --> 01:01:21,532
{\an8}I wanna focus on my salad.
1180
01:01:21,532 --> 01:01:22,533
{\an8}[music ends]
1181
01:01:22,533 --> 01:01:24,618
{\an8}"I just wanna make my salad."
1182
01:01:25,494 --> 01:01:26,912
{\an8}Right on the air.
1183
01:01:26,912 --> 01:01:30,082
{\an8}So that was not good.
1184
01:01:31,834 --> 01:01:33,627
{\an8}It was instantly in the press.
1185
01:01:33,627 --> 01:01:34,962
{\an8}[dramatic music playing]
1186
01:01:35,713 --> 01:01:38,006
{\an8}[Susan] "Can't take the heat,"
blah-blah-blah.
1187
01:01:38,632 --> 01:01:42,177
{\an8}There was tons of stuff
that fed the stories.
1188
01:01:42,761 --> 01:01:44,221
Pictures of her and Sam.
1189
01:01:45,305 --> 01:01:47,266
The story was really alive.
1190
01:01:49,935 --> 01:01:53,731
There was an enormous amount
of negative tabloid coverage.
1191
01:01:54,231 --> 01:01:57,151
Journalists were looking to
make their mark on teardown stories,
1192
01:01:57,151 --> 01:02:00,779
and she was exactly the number one target.
1193
01:02:01,613 --> 01:02:03,282
It was unbelievable.
1194
01:02:04,074 --> 01:02:04,908
It kept going.
1195
01:02:04,908 --> 01:02:09,246
That month, that summer, fall,
it never stopped.
1196
01:02:10,122 --> 01:02:11,165
[music fades]
1197
01:02:11,165 --> 01:02:12,166
[strings music playing]
1198
01:02:12,166 --> 01:02:15,335
{\an8}Everybody's focus,
especially the government's,
1199
01:02:15,335 --> 01:02:18,756
{\an8}was that Sam had tipped Martha
about the FDA news.
1200
01:02:19,715 --> 01:02:21,383
Now, that's a genuine crime.
1201
01:02:21,967 --> 01:02:26,638
But it was obvious that she didn't even
speak to him until after she traded.
1202
01:02:26,638 --> 01:02:29,808
Sam was in enormous trouble.
1203
01:02:29,808 --> 01:02:32,770
Nobody could get away with
what he tried. I just don't understand it.
1204
01:02:33,270 --> 01:02:36,690
But in terms of Martha,
you know, he didn't tip her.
1205
01:02:36,690 --> 01:02:40,611
And so Martha's lawyers
were very relieved.
1206
01:02:40,611 --> 01:02:43,697
[reporter] You said people from the SEC
and the Justice Department were there.
1207
01:02:43,697 --> 01:02:45,699
- Did they ask you about Martha?
- Yes.
1208
01:02:45,699 --> 01:02:46,784
A lot?
1209
01:02:46,784 --> 01:02:47,701
Yes.
1210
01:02:48,410 --> 01:02:50,954
{\an8}They wanted me to say I told her.
1211
01:02:50,954 --> 01:02:54,249
{\an8}And had I done that,
I wouldn't have gotten in trouble.
1212
01:02:55,083 --> 01:02:58,545
I got the sense
that if they could have Martha,
1213
01:02:58,545 --> 01:03:01,048
they would be unbelievably happy campers.
1214
01:03:01,757 --> 01:03:03,675
{\an8}So you should know I called my mom.
1215
01:03:03,675 --> 01:03:06,094
{\an8}I said, "You know, Mom,
they want me to say I tipped Martha,
1216
01:03:06,094 --> 01:03:07,554
and they'll leave me alone."
1217
01:03:07,554 --> 01:03:09,431
She goes, "Tell 'em you tipped Martha."
1218
01:03:09,431 --> 01:03:10,557
[laughs]
1219
01:03:10,557 --> 01:03:12,643
[Sam] So I thought that was funny.
But I didn't.
1220
01:03:12,643 --> 01:03:16,438
I didn't give Martha Stewart
insider information.
1221
01:03:16,980 --> 01:03:17,815
Period.
1222
01:03:20,150 --> 01:03:21,109
And, by the way,
1223
01:03:21,819 --> 01:03:22,778
so we know...
1224
01:03:24,655 --> 01:03:26,740
You know who wanted me to say that?
1225
01:03:27,449 --> 01:03:28,659
[indistinct chatter]
1226
01:03:28,659 --> 01:03:29,785
Jim Comey.
1227
01:03:29,785 --> 01:03:30,828
[music ends]
1228
01:03:35,874 --> 01:03:37,876
{\an8}[dramatic music playing]
1229
01:03:41,755 --> 01:03:42,714
Good afternoon.
1230
01:03:43,841 --> 01:03:47,553
We are here this afternoon
to announce the filing of criminal charges
1231
01:03:47,553 --> 01:03:48,470
by this office
1232
01:03:49,012 --> 01:03:51,390
and civil charges by the SEC
1233
01:03:51,390 --> 01:03:54,142
against Martha Stewart
and Peter Bacanovic.
1234
01:03:54,726 --> 01:03:57,729
Let me talk for a minute
about what is not in the indictment.
1235
01:03:57,729 --> 01:04:00,482
Ms. Stewart and Mr. Bacanovic
have not been charged
1236
01:04:00,482 --> 01:04:02,860
with criminal insider trading.
1237
01:04:02,860 --> 01:04:05,279
That may seem odd at first glance.
1238
01:04:05,279 --> 01:04:08,866
But it is, in my view,
the appropriate treatment of this case.
1239
01:04:09,908 --> 01:04:11,910
{\an8}Peter Bacanovic and Martha Stewart
1240
01:04:11,910 --> 01:04:14,955
{\an8}had not spoken to anyone
in the Waksal family.
1241
01:04:15,622 --> 01:04:18,208
And so, what they did was not illegal.
1242
01:04:18,792 --> 01:04:21,587
So the government
had to hear back their case.
1243
01:04:21,587 --> 01:04:23,672
This criminal case is about lying.
1244
01:04:24,673 --> 01:04:25,966
Lying to the FBI,
1245
01:04:26,592 --> 01:04:28,176
lying to the SEC,
1246
01:04:28,176 --> 01:04:29,928
and lying to investors.
1247
01:04:30,512 --> 01:04:31,346
{\an8}People said,
1248
01:04:31,346 --> 01:04:35,267
{\an8}"How can you be charged with lying
about a crime that you never committed?"
1249
01:04:35,267 --> 01:04:37,144
And it was a good question.
1250
01:04:38,145 --> 01:04:40,856
{\an8}She wasn't criminally charged
with insider trading,
1251
01:04:40,856 --> 01:04:42,190
{\an8}but during her interview,
1252
01:04:42,190 --> 01:04:46,653
{\an8}we had the sense that she was not being
truthful about why she sold.
1253
01:04:46,653 --> 01:04:50,782
{\an8}She said she didn't recall being told
that the Waksals were selling,
1254
01:04:50,782 --> 01:04:52,701
and that was not why she traded.
1255
01:04:52,701 --> 01:04:56,496
But we believed she knew
that Sam Waksal was selling the shares.
1256
01:04:57,873 --> 01:05:02,586
Lying to the FBI is a crime
with profound consequences.
1257
01:05:02,586 --> 01:05:03,587
[ominous music playing]
1258
01:05:03,587 --> 01:05:06,882
{\an8}Comey loved a touch of theater
and was obviously very ambitious.
1259
01:05:06,882 --> 01:05:10,719
{\an8}He went on to be deputy head of
the Justice Department, head of the FBI.
1260
01:05:10,719 --> 01:05:12,304
[Jim] If these two people had only done
1261
01:05:12,304 --> 01:05:15,349
what parents have taught
their children for eons,
1262
01:05:16,224 --> 01:05:20,354
even if you're in a tight spot,
lying is not the way out.
1263
01:05:20,854 --> 01:05:23,190
{\an8}"Lying, lying, lying. It's about lying."
Come on.
1264
01:05:23,190 --> 01:05:26,818
{\an8}Ninety-five out of 100 prosecutors
would not bring this case.
1265
01:05:26,818 --> 01:05:28,403
Comey was self-righteous,
1266
01:05:28,403 --> 01:05:31,323
and he's not afraid
to go places other people wouldn't go.
1267
01:05:31,323 --> 01:05:32,950
Martha was a convenient way
1268
01:05:32,950 --> 01:05:36,161
to look like they were doing something
to combat corporate wrongdoing,
1269
01:05:36,161 --> 01:05:39,081
even though her case had nothing
to do with the corporation she ran.
1270
01:05:39,081 --> 01:05:42,292
[reporter] There are many who believe
Martha Stewart's being singled out
1271
01:05:42,292 --> 01:05:45,045
because she's successful,
because she's a woman.
1272
01:05:45,045 --> 01:05:46,880
Why Martha Stewart?
1273
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:50,592
Martha Stewart is being prosecuted
not because of who she is
1274
01:05:51,093 --> 01:05:52,761
but because of what she did.
1275
01:05:53,887 --> 01:05:56,056
{\an8}I have no idea what they were thinking.
1276
01:05:56,598 --> 01:06:00,060
{\an8}I think it may have been that they were
a bunch of prideful men
1277
01:06:00,060 --> 01:06:02,437
who couldn't bear being embarrassed
1278
01:06:02,437 --> 01:06:05,148
if they couldn't get her
for insider trading,
1279
01:06:05,148 --> 01:06:06,942
and they wanted revenge,
1280
01:06:06,942 --> 01:06:10,821
or if they were just a shower
of fucking sanctimonious twats.
1281
01:06:12,739 --> 01:06:16,743
[man] She is now being prosecuted
in a very high-profile case
1282
01:06:16,743 --> 01:06:19,496
about something that wasn't,
in fact, a crime.
1283
01:06:19,496 --> 01:06:22,207
- That's what bothers a lot of people.
- [man 2] It looks bothersome.
1284
01:06:22,708 --> 01:06:25,877
- Why are they going after her?
- [cop] Behind the barrier!
1285
01:06:25,877 --> 01:06:29,673
{\an8}A lot of commentators said, at the time,
that she was being made an example of.
1286
01:06:29,673 --> 01:06:31,133
{\an8}The trade that Martha did
1287
01:06:31,133 --> 01:06:34,428
that got her into so much trouble
was worth about $45,000,
1288
01:06:34,428 --> 01:06:36,930
a very small amount
in the grand scheme of things.
1289
01:06:36,930 --> 01:06:39,975
{\an8}Everybody asked,
"What if she gets hit by a bus?"
1290
01:06:39,975 --> 01:06:43,437
{\an8}Nobody said, "What if she gets indicted
for lying to the feds?"
1291
01:06:43,937 --> 01:06:44,980
Nobody said that.
1292
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:46,898
[reporter] On the CBS Market Watch,
1293
01:06:46,898 --> 01:06:50,694
the Martha Stewart scandal
has taken a big toll on her media company.
1294
01:06:51,403 --> 01:06:53,864
Down 86% from last year.
1295
01:06:54,364 --> 01:06:57,868
{\an8}Every emerging new detail
that seems to work against her
1296
01:06:57,868 --> 01:07:00,871
{\an8}is met with a rousing cheer
in many quarters.
1297
01:07:01,580 --> 01:07:04,458
{\an8}The press was absolutely after Martha,
1298
01:07:04,458 --> 01:07:06,877
{\an8}and Martha personally, not the company.
1299
01:07:07,544 --> 01:07:09,463
The guiltiest pleasure of all,
1300
01:07:09,463 --> 01:07:13,925
watching Martha Stewart scurry
into a courthouse under an umbrella.
1301
01:07:13,925 --> 01:07:18,055
{\an8}There was a nastiness
to people's attitudes to Martha.
1302
01:07:18,555 --> 01:07:19,973
Why do people love to hate her?
1303
01:07:19,973 --> 01:07:23,268
You always wanna see
Little Miss Perfect fail.
1304
01:07:23,268 --> 01:07:24,311
[music ends]
1305
01:07:24,311 --> 01:07:27,355
[interviewer] You bring out the most
profound emotions in people.
1306
01:07:27,355 --> 01:07:29,691
Martha, why do so many people hate you?
1307
01:07:31,401 --> 01:07:32,444
[sighs]
1308
01:07:34,821 --> 01:07:38,283
It is day one in Martha Stewart's
obstruction of justice trial,
1309
01:07:38,283 --> 01:07:40,368
and all of the world is watching.
1310
01:07:40,368 --> 01:07:41,453
[plucky music playing]
1311
01:07:41,453 --> 01:07:44,623
{\an8}Trials are all about competing narratives.
That's what they are.
1312
01:07:45,248 --> 01:07:48,210
{\an8}And their narrative
was pretty easy to present.
1313
01:07:48,210 --> 01:07:51,379
Fancy Martha got a tip,
and then she lied about it.
1314
01:07:51,379 --> 01:07:52,756
[indistinct yelling]
1315
01:07:53,632 --> 01:07:54,633
[John] In our narrative,
1316
01:07:54,633 --> 01:07:58,345
which is a woman famed
for being on top of everything
1317
01:07:58,345 --> 01:08:00,013
and a perfectionist
1318
01:08:00,597 --> 01:08:02,390
doesn't really remember what happened.
1319
01:08:02,891 --> 01:08:03,850
[sighs]
1320
01:08:04,601 --> 01:08:05,769
[John] It's very tough.
1321
01:08:06,353 --> 01:08:08,313
- [reporter] Morning.
- [reporter 2] How do you feel?
1322
01:08:08,313 --> 01:08:09,564
Just great.
1323
01:08:09,564 --> 01:08:11,399
{\an8}She certainly could've pleaded guilty.
1324
01:08:11,399 --> 01:08:13,944
{\an8}And there were discussions
about trying to resolve the case.
1325
01:08:13,944 --> 01:08:17,114
{\an8}But she didn't want to admit
to the fact that she had lied.
1326
01:08:17,614 --> 01:08:19,282
{\an8}You have to get up in court and say,
1327
01:08:19,282 --> 01:08:21,827
{\an8}"I knowingly and intentionally lied
to the government."
1328
01:08:21,827 --> 01:08:23,954
{\an8}I never asked,
"Do you think you were guilty?"
1329
01:08:23,954 --> 01:08:25,539
I don't think she thinks she was.
1330
01:08:25,539 --> 01:08:28,458
She'd have had a hell of a time
getting up to admit wrongdoing.
1331
01:08:32,087 --> 01:08:33,880
{\an8}Through her body language and demeanor,
1332
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:36,591
{\an8}she was maintaining her innocence
to the very end.
1333
01:08:37,425 --> 01:08:38,969
But as the days passed,
1334
01:08:38,969 --> 01:08:43,056
it became more and more obvious
that this was not going well for her.
1335
01:08:43,056 --> 01:08:47,018
{\an8}The trial very quickly devolved into,
1336
01:08:47,018 --> 01:08:53,358
"Did she lie when she said the stock sale
had nothing to do with Sam Waksal?"
1337
01:08:53,358 --> 01:08:55,777
So the whole question was,
1338
01:08:55,777 --> 01:08:59,072
"How are we gonna know
if she told the truth?"
1339
01:08:59,072 --> 01:09:00,574
As it turned out,
1340
01:09:00,574 --> 01:09:02,492
the person who knew
1341
01:09:02,492 --> 01:09:04,953
was Peter Bacanovic's secretary,
1342
01:09:04,953 --> 01:09:06,621
Douglas Faneuil.
1343
01:09:06,621 --> 01:09:09,541
{\an8}[female reporter] This star witness
is a baby-faced 28-year-old
1344
01:09:09,541 --> 01:09:13,253
{\an8}who the government is counting on
to prove that Martha Stewart lied
1345
01:09:13,253 --> 01:09:17,174
about why she dumped
her shares of ImClone stock two years ago.
1346
01:09:17,174 --> 01:09:20,218
{\an8}Doug Faneuil was the most
important piece of evidence.
1347
01:09:20,218 --> 01:09:21,803
{\an8}He had been directed by Bacanovic
1348
01:09:21,803 --> 01:09:25,098
{\an8}to tell Martha Stewart
about Waksal selling his stock
1349
01:09:25,098 --> 01:09:26,850
{\an8}so that she could act on it.
1350
01:09:26,850 --> 01:09:29,060
[reporter] Faneuil testified
Bacanovic ordered him
1351
01:09:29,060 --> 01:09:31,229
to tell Stewart about the Waksal sale.
1352
01:09:31,730 --> 01:09:34,858
{\an8}His testimony had the complete ring
of truth to it,
1353
01:09:34,858 --> 01:09:37,861
{\an8}including the fact
that Martha treated him like shit,
1354
01:09:37,861 --> 01:09:41,573
because people knew
that Martha treated underlings like shit.
1355
01:09:41,573 --> 01:09:43,992
[woman reading] "I have never ever
been treated more rudely
1356
01:09:43,992 --> 01:09:45,785

1357
01:09:45,785 --> 01:09:47,579
"She actually hung up on me."
1358
01:09:48,330 --> 01:09:49,581
{\an8}Not only was he telling you
1359
01:09:49,581 --> 01:09:52,626
{\an8}about the events that took place
that were incriminating about Martha,
1360
01:09:52,626 --> 01:09:54,169
{\an8}he was telling you about Martha.
1361
01:09:54,169 --> 01:09:56,087
He was telling you
about what she was like.

1363

kind of like a roaring lion underwater."
1365
01:10:02,886 --> 01:10:04,888
{\an8}[dramatic strings music playing]
1366
01:10:04,888 --> 01:10:08,433
{\an8}[Simon] We were suddenly getting
this window into the real Martha,
1367
01:10:08,433 --> 01:10:11,436
{\an8}this abrasive bully of a person
1368
01:10:11,436 --> 01:10:13,980
that a lot of people
in New York were aware of,
1369
01:10:13,980 --> 01:10:15,607
but the public at large wasn't.
1370
01:10:15,607 --> 01:10:18,652
[female reporter] Faneuil described
Stewart's phone manner as rude,
1371
01:10:18,652 --> 01:10:21,696
confirming she even threatened
to take her account elsewhere
1372
01:10:21,696 --> 01:10:24,491
if the telephone hold music
wasn't changed.
1373
01:10:25,242 --> 01:10:26,534
[Simon] The prosecution,
1374
01:10:26,534 --> 01:10:31,539
they wanted to make Martha Stewart out
to be a difficult, abrasive person.
1375
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:36,294
They wanted to paint her as the villain,
and they were pretty successful.
1376
01:10:36,795 --> 01:10:40,799
Martha Stewart has come across
as petty, as demeaning,
1377
01:10:40,799 --> 01:10:42,676
as kind of a bad person.
1378
01:10:42,676 --> 01:10:46,054
And, you know, as much as
that shouldn't matter in a case like this,
1379
01:10:47,138 --> 01:10:48,014
it does.
1380
01:10:48,974 --> 01:10:50,684
{\an8}That'll get men's attention,
1381
01:10:51,226 --> 01:10:55,647
{\an8}some woman just being rude and imperious
and dismissive of a man.
1382
01:10:55,647 --> 01:10:58,483
{\an8}So this is all about her being
a woman now, Miss Lafferty?
1383
01:10:58,483 --> 01:11:00,652
{\an8}Is that what you're gonna
try to convince me about?
1384
01:11:00,652 --> 01:11:03,822
{\an8}What this is about
is a targeted prosecution
1385
01:11:03,822 --> 01:11:07,617
{\an8}of a person who happens to be a woman
but happens to be a certain kind of woman,
1386
01:11:07,617 --> 01:11:11,246
{\an8}a wildly successful woman,
uh, an arrogant woman.
1387
01:11:11,246 --> 01:11:15,166
Our concern is that this is a message
that you... you can't really be a bitch.
1388
01:11:15,166 --> 01:11:17,168
It's what...
it's what we're calling a bitch hunt.
1389
01:11:18,253 --> 01:11:21,756
{\an8}We were only there because she was famous
and knew she was in a lot of trouble.
1390
01:11:21,756 --> 01:11:24,426
{\an8}Those factors together sell newspapers.
1391
01:11:24,426 --> 01:11:26,553
We all wanted our pound of flesh.
1392
01:11:28,305 --> 01:11:32,350
{\an8}Martha is very concerned
with how she's perceived.
1393
01:11:32,350 --> 01:11:36,396
{\an8}And this was so much press, unrelenting,
and virtually all negative.
1394
01:11:37,063 --> 01:11:38,982
[Martha] It was obscene.
1395
01:11:38,982 --> 01:11:40,942
And I had to keep my composure,
1396
01:11:40,942 --> 01:11:43,194
keep my head upright and not cry.
1397
01:11:43,194 --> 01:11:45,488
Remember? Women in business don't cry?
1398
01:11:46,865 --> 01:11:47,824
You don't cry.
1399
01:11:48,908 --> 01:11:50,118
[music ends]
1400
01:11:50,118 --> 01:11:51,411
{\an8}As the case went on,
1401
01:11:51,953 --> 01:11:56,124
{\an8}the drumbeat of the evidence
was getting louder and louder and louder,
1402
01:11:56,124 --> 01:11:59,627
and it crescendoed with Mariana Pasternak...
1403
01:11:59,627 --> 01:12:01,671
[plucky strings music playing]
1404
01:12:01,671 --> 01:12:03,882
...who was the last nail in the coffin.
1405
01:12:05,133 --> 01:12:06,760
[Martha] This is my best friend.
1406
01:12:07,761 --> 01:12:09,971
I was matron of honor at her wedding.
1407
01:12:10,513 --> 01:12:12,265
I was the godmother to her children.
1408
01:12:13,099 --> 01:12:15,685
{\an8}Mariana Pasternak was a confidante
of Martha Stewart,
1409
01:12:15,685 --> 01:12:19,731
and she was there on vacation with Martha
1410
01:12:19,731 --> 01:12:21,524
while this was taking place.
1411
01:12:22,442 --> 01:12:26,363
{\an8}Martha had briefly mentioned to me
that she sold her ImClone stock.
1412
01:12:26,363 --> 01:12:29,407
{\an8}She knew she should not have told me
about that.
1413
01:12:29,407 --> 01:12:31,242
She made me a witness.
1414
01:12:32,494 --> 01:12:33,453
[music ends]
1415
01:12:33,453 --> 01:12:35,205
{\an8}Good afternoon, Miss Pasternak.
1416
01:12:35,955 --> 01:12:38,625
{\an8}Do you have any recollection
of speaking with Ms. Stewart
1417
01:12:38,625 --> 01:12:41,669
on the subject of brokers
while you were in Mexico?
1418
01:12:42,420 --> 01:12:45,298
[Mariana] I remember one brief statement
which was,
1419
01:12:45,799 --> 01:12:50,095
"Isn't it nice to have brokers
who tell you those things?"
1420
01:12:50,095 --> 01:12:51,262
[audience gasps]
1421
01:12:51,846 --> 01:12:55,266
{\an8}It was like a thunderclap that happened
in the court at that moment.
1422
01:12:55,266 --> 01:12:57,602
{\an8}You know,
that was an absolutely devastating line.
1423
01:12:58,103 --> 01:13:01,648
It fed straight into the government's case
that Martha had received this secret tip
1424
01:13:01,648 --> 01:13:03,775
from her stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic,
1425
01:13:03,775 --> 01:13:08,488
that the Waksal family
was selling shares in ImClone Systems.
1426
01:13:08,488 --> 01:13:11,866
And it basically
showed her up to being a liar.
1427
01:13:12,951 --> 01:13:15,370
{\an8}[male reporter] According to her,
Martha Stewart knew
1428
01:13:15,370 --> 01:13:18,206
{\an8}that Sam Waksal was selling
his ImClone stock.
1429
01:13:18,206 --> 01:13:20,417
{\an8}That's one of the crucial issues
in this case.
1430
01:13:22,127 --> 01:13:25,713
{\an8}I truthfully testified,
as my legal obligation was.
1431
01:13:26,214 --> 01:13:28,049
{\an8}That's why I said those words.
1432
01:13:28,675 --> 01:13:32,137
And I looked in the courtroom,
and I saw Martha's eyes,
1433
01:13:32,679 --> 01:13:36,516
you know, that cold, icy look in her eyes.
1434
01:13:37,267 --> 01:13:39,144
I knew our friendship was over.
1435
01:13:40,979 --> 01:13:43,314
[Martha] By the time
Mariana got onto the stand,
1436
01:13:43,314 --> 01:13:45,775
she was a damaged human being.
1437
01:13:45,775 --> 01:13:46,985
She is frightened.
1438
01:13:46,985 --> 01:13:49,154
She was told what to say.
1439
01:13:50,029 --> 01:13:51,489
It made me very sad.
1440
01:13:55,368 --> 01:13:56,411
{\an8}She was a human being,
1441
01:13:56,411 --> 01:13:58,705
{\an8}and she was obviously under
an incredible amount
1442
01:13:58,705 --> 01:13:59,831
{\an8}of pressure and strain.
1443
01:13:59,831 --> 01:14:03,209
{\an8}And... and you couldn't help but notice
that she looked wounded.
1444
01:14:03,334 --> 01:14:05,920
[woman] Leave Martha alone!
Leave her alone!
1445
01:14:06,045 --> 01:14:08,298
{\an8}- Leave Martha alone!
- We were horrified.
1446
01:14:08,298 --> 01:14:11,509
{\an8}To see what was happening
to her was very, very upsetting.
1447
01:14:12,719 --> 01:14:15,722
[woman] She's a doll.
Leave her alone. Leave Martha alone.
1448
01:14:15,722 --> 01:14:18,433
[reporter] Now, as Stewart's supporters
gather outside
1449
01:14:18,433 --> 01:14:20,268
of the courthouse to await her fate,
1450
01:14:20,268 --> 01:14:23,563

deliberating the facts.

the problem for the government is that
1453
01:14:28,526 --> 01:14:31,070
however compelling
its witnesses may have been,
1454
01:14:31,070 --> 01:14:33,156
it never produced a smoking gun.
1455
01:14:33,156 --> 01:14:34,699
[suspenseful music playing]
1456
01:14:34,699 --> 01:14:38,328
[reporter 3] The best defense is
the case never should have gone to trial.
1457
01:14:38,328 --> 01:14:40,622
For jurors to look at this
and say to themselves,
1458
01:14:40,622 --> 01:14:43,625
"Boy, this sure seems
like a selective prosecution."
1459
01:14:44,167 --> 01:14:48,004
On the other hand,
if they focus strictly on the question of,
1460
01:14:48,004 --> 01:14:51,966
"Do we believe
that she had some sort of tip?"
1461
01:14:51,966 --> 01:14:53,718
I think Martha Stewart's in trouble.
1462
01:14:55,428 --> 01:14:57,972
{\an8}You know, you stand, obviously,
when they come in.
1463
01:14:58,640 --> 01:15:01,017
{\an8}It's the tensest moment you can imagine.

and she doesn't have to--

that she was writing all the time.
1475

01:16:28,813 --> 01:16:32,483
A prominent woman,
the first billionaire woman in America,
1490
01:16:32,483 --> 01:16:33,776
"We got her."
1491
01:16:34,527 --> 01:16:35,403
[horn honks]
1492
01:16:37,363 --> 01:16:40,199
[reporter] Now I'm being told
that trading has been halted,
1493
01:16:40,199 --> 01:16:42,201
{\an8}uh, on Martha's stock.
1494
01:16:42,201 --> 01:16:46,289
[male reporter] Once the jury spoke,
the price plummeted to $10 and change.
1495
01:16:46,289 --> 01:16:51,002
Analysts believe that it will go down
further and could hit, uh, $5.
1496
01:16:51,002 --> 01:16:53,463
{\an8}[male reporter 2] Stewart's TV show
was canceled today
1497
01:16:53,463 --> 01:16:56,299
{\an8}by 18 CBS and UPN stations.
1498
01:16:56,299 --> 01:16:59,594
[female reporter] Advertisers have fled
her flagship magazine.
1499
01:16:59,594 --> 01:17:02,388
{\an8}She was one of the strongest brands
that ever existed.
1500
01:17:02,388 --> 01:17:05,224
{\an8}I mean, stronger than Coke,
stronger than McDonald's.
1501
01:17:05,224 --> 01:17:06,476
{\an8}[reporter] Facing prison time,
1502
01:17:06,476 --> 01:17:10,229
{\an8}Martha Stewart further distanced herself
from the media company she built,
1503
01:17:10,813 --> 01:17:13,775
{\an8}resigning from the board
of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
1504
01:17:13,775 --> 01:17:16,944
{\an8}and stepping down
as Chief Creative Officer.
1505
01:17:17,570 --> 01:17:19,697
{\an8}[Martha] I was on the top of the world.
1506
01:17:19,697 --> 01:17:22,700
{\an8}I was sitting on the board
of the New York Stock Exchange.
1507
01:17:22,700 --> 01:17:25,328
{\an8}I was sitting on the board
of the Revlon Corporation.
1508
01:17:25,328 --> 01:17:28,164
I lost control of my company.
I lost all my board seats.
1509
01:17:28,164 --> 01:17:30,625
Absolutely horrific.
1510
01:17:31,918 --> 01:17:34,170
{\an8}[male reporter] There is,
right now, complete panic
1511
01:17:34,170 --> 01:17:35,880
{\an8}going on at Martha Stewart Living.
1512
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:38,883
{\an8}I think it's basically over
for Martha Stewart Omnimedia.
1513
01:17:44,555 --> 01:17:46,557
[music fades]
1514
01:17:47,225 --> 01:17:48,601
[birds chirping]
1515
01:17:49,310 --> 01:17:54,273
{\an8}She's disappointed of her feeling like
her life was wasted.
1516
01:17:56,067 --> 01:17:59,862
Everything she did is ignored
over something trivial
1517
01:17:59,862 --> 01:18:01,698
that maybe didn't happen.
1518
01:18:01,698 --> 01:18:03,950
[indistinct conversation]
1519
01:18:11,332 --> 01:18:14,293
[man] And a lot of people want to know,
first of all, how are you doing?
1520
01:18:16,045 --> 01:18:18,798
I mean, see, I don't wanna
have an interviewer's voice.
1521
01:18:18,798 --> 01:18:20,007
[man] Oh, no, we're gonna...
1522
01:18:20,007 --> 01:18:23,386
What I'm gonna do is we're gonna try
to do it the whole thing in your voice.
1523
01:18:24,262 --> 01:18:27,807
So then maybe it shouldn't be a question.
Maybe you should just talk about...
1524
01:18:27,807 --> 01:18:31,185
You should just say, "Talk about this."
Don't a... don't ask me a question.
1525
01:18:31,185 --> 01:18:33,646
- [man 2] Suck in that gut when they do.
- [man] Come on.
1526
01:18:34,522 --> 01:18:35,356
You ready?
1527
01:18:37,150 --> 01:18:39,569
- [sighs]
- [man] Nice and sweet.
1528
01:18:39,569 --> 01:18:40,611
[man clears throat]
1529
01:18:43,156 --> 01:18:45,950
So this is Easter Sunday, 2004.
1530
01:18:46,909 --> 01:18:49,787
And I have, uh, invited
1531
01:18:50,705 --> 01:18:53,750
somewhere between 16 and 20 people
1532
01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:54,959
for brunch.
1533
01:18:54,959 --> 01:18:58,629
So the menu is hard-boiled eggs,
which I already did,
1534
01:18:58,629 --> 01:19:01,090
blood orange curd cake
that Alexis is making.
1535
01:19:01,674 --> 01:19:02,550
The salmon...
1536
01:19:02,550 --> 01:19:06,012
This is one month before sentencing.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
1537
01:19:06,012 --> 01:19:07,764
[somber music playing]
1538
01:19:07,764 --> 01:19:10,558
[man 2] How do you prepare yourself
for what may occur?
1539
01:19:10,558 --> 01:19:12,435
[Martha] Well, you know,
you go to the dentist,
1540
01:19:12,435 --> 01:19:14,145
you go to the gynecologist,
1541
01:19:14,145 --> 01:19:19,150
and you just make sure that you're in
as best shape as you possibly can
1542
01:19:19,150 --> 01:19:22,445
to let your body
and your mind take whatever comes.
1543
01:19:24,947 --> 01:19:28,034
- [woman] You needed the bone out or no?
- [Martha] Yes, that's the whole idea.
1544
01:19:29,786 --> 01:19:31,871
Here, I'll... I'll... Want me to show you?
1545
01:19:32,497 --> 01:19:35,583
The press made me out
to be a person that I'm not.
1546
01:19:35,583 --> 01:19:39,295
I don't think I've been the mean
and nasty and horrible person
1547
01:19:39,295 --> 01:19:41,756
portrayed in certain publications.
1548
01:19:41,756 --> 01:19:44,050
I'm strict and I'm demanding
1549
01:19:44,050 --> 01:19:47,887
and I'm all those good things
that make a successful person.
1550
01:19:49,013 --> 01:19:52,183
Recently, I critiqued a teacup.
1551
01:19:52,183 --> 01:19:53,976
I said, "How's that selling?"
1552
01:19:53,976 --> 01:19:56,979
Young man said to me, "Well, not well."
And I said, "Do you know why?"
1553
01:19:58,272 --> 01:19:59,357
"Pick up the teacup."
1554
01:19:59,357 --> 01:20:02,777
"Can you fit your finger
in the teacup handle?"
1555
01:20:04,195 --> 01:20:07,198
He took that as a gross criticism.
1556
01:20:07,198 --> 01:20:09,992
But that I said it was held against me.
1557
01:20:11,285 --> 01:20:14,872
To critique a teacup handle
for my own company
1558
01:20:14,872 --> 01:20:17,166
was considered a bad thing.
1559
01:20:17,166 --> 01:20:18,751
I consider it a good thing.
1560
01:20:20,044 --> 01:20:21,754
Never use soap on it, okay?
1561
01:20:23,339 --> 01:20:24,173
Never.
1562
01:20:25,591 --> 01:20:28,177
That would never have gotten
in our catalog before.
1563
01:20:29,679 --> 01:20:31,430
[music increases in intensity]
1564
01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:34,892
And I'm supposed to
pussyfoot around such an idi... nitwit?
1565
01:20:34,892 --> 01:20:35,935
[music fades]
1566
01:20:35,935 --> 01:20:38,062
[Martha] What knife are you using
to cut those?
1567
01:20:38,062 --> 01:20:40,356
- [woman] This one.
- Well, isn't that a stupid knife?
1568
01:20:40,356 --> 01:20:41,983
- [woman] I don't know.
- [Martha] Why?
1569
01:20:41,983 --> 01:20:45,278
Why would you use
a little knife to cut a big orange?
1570
01:20:45,278 --> 01:20:47,822
You know how fast a big knife cuts?
1571
01:20:47,822 --> 01:20:49,657
Okay, you don't get that on film, because,
1572
01:20:49,657 --> 01:20:51,534
I mean, I don't know what to do anymore.
1573
01:20:51,534 --> 01:20:52,493
Okay?
1574
01:20:52,493 --> 01:20:53,995
[somber music playing]
1575
01:20:53,995 --> 01:20:56,914
You use a big knife to cut oranges, okay?
1576
01:20:59,417 --> 01:21:03,045
But really, you have to
pay attention and be efficient.
1577
01:21:05,381 --> 01:21:07,383
Look, so much easier. Okay?
1578
01:21:11,512 --> 01:21:13,389
[reporter] Have you ever visited a prison?
1579
01:21:14,557 --> 01:21:17,184
[Martha] Um, no... [laughs] ...no I haven't.
1580
01:21:18,019 --> 01:21:20,146
[reporter] Do you have any idea
what it's like?
1581
01:21:20,146 --> 01:21:22,398
Um, no, not really.
1582
01:21:23,274 --> 01:21:24,692
Strip searches...
1583
01:21:25,192 --> 01:21:28,946
I don't think in a minimum-security prison
there's gonna be strip searches.
1584
01:21:28,946 --> 01:21:31,240
- Oh, yes, Martha.
- Maybe. Maybe I'm uninformed.
1585
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,868
Maybe you should do research
on what it's like in prison.
1586
01:21:33,868 --> 01:21:36,662
I don't wanna sound stupid.
I hardly wanna talk about it.
1587
01:21:36,662 --> 01:21:38,915
You can do it? No matter what?
1588
01:21:41,208 --> 01:21:42,376
[helicopter thrumming]
1589
01:21:42,376 --> 01:21:45,504
[reporter] Morning, and you're looking at
a shot outside the federal courthouse
1590
01:21:45,504 --> 01:21:46,923
in lower Manhattan right now.
1591
01:21:46,923 --> 01:21:49,967
Martha Stewart is
just emerging from the courthouse
1592
01:21:49,967 --> 01:21:53,012
after receiving her sentence
from Judge Miriam Cedarbaum.
1593
01:21:53,012 --> 01:21:54,972
[reporter 2] Five months in prison,
1594
01:21:54,972 --> 01:21:56,974
five months of home detention,
1595
01:21:56,974 --> 01:21:58,601
two years of probation,
1596
01:21:58,601 --> 01:22:00,686
and a fine of $30,000.
1597
01:22:01,437 --> 01:22:04,732
{\an8}When she was sentenced,
it was very emotional.
1598
01:22:05,524 --> 01:22:06,692
{\an8}[crowd] Save Martha!
1599
01:22:06,692 --> 01:22:08,653
[Sophie] So shocking.
1600
01:22:08,653 --> 01:22:10,905
- [crowd] Save Martha!
- [man speaks indistinctly]
1601
01:22:10,905 --> 01:22:12,114
[woman] Injustice!
1602
01:22:21,457 --> 01:22:23,584
[news anchor] Welcome to Alderson,
1603
01:22:23,584 --> 01:22:24,961
the prison town
1604
01:22:24,961 --> 01:22:28,047
that will be Martha Stewart's home
for the next five months.
1605
01:22:29,966 --> 01:22:31,926
[male reporter] Its nickname
may be Camp Cupcake,
1606
01:22:31,926 --> 01:22:36,013
{\an8}but the Federal Prison Camp
in Alderson, West Virginia, is no picnic.
1607
01:22:36,013 --> 01:22:39,100
[reporter] Prison guards have said
they can't guarantee the famous inmate
1608
01:22:39,100 --> 01:22:40,559
won't be harassed.
1609
01:22:40,559 --> 01:22:45,272
{\an8}Are we gonna be able to follow her around
and make sure that no inmate bothers her?
1610
01:22:45,773 --> 01:22:46,607
No.
1611
01:22:46,607 --> 01:22:50,319
[female interviewer] Stewart has been
so in control.
1612
01:22:50,319 --> 01:22:51,862
How hard is that going to be,
1613
01:22:51,862 --> 01:22:55,116
how difficult for Martha Stewart
to give up control?
1614
01:22:55,616 --> 01:22:57,868
[male commentator] Well,
uh, it's gonna be terrible.
1615
01:22:57,868 --> 01:23:00,454
It's gonna be terrible for Martha Stewart.
1616
01:23:00,454 --> 01:23:01,497

"Entry 5:55 a.m."

"Pearl earrings okay,
although questioned."
1622
01:23:21,392 --> 01:23:24,186
"No contacts allowed. Threw all in box."
1623
01:23:25,312 --> 01:23:27,773
"Physical exam, stripped of all clothes."
1624
01:23:29,066 --> 01:23:31,068
"Squat, arms out,
1625
01:23:32,194 --> 01:23:33,029
cough."
1626
01:23:34,405 --> 01:23:35,656
"Embarrassing."
1627
01:23:37,324 --> 01:23:39,869
I had to do all that crap
that you see in the movies.
1628
01:23:39,869 --> 01:23:42,580
You... you can't even believe
that that's what you're going through.

[woman] "Taken to room J11,
second floor."
1630

"My room contains
an old double-decker bedstead,
1631
01:23:50,129 --> 01:23:52,173
metal spring, and metal frame."
1632
01:23:52,173 --> 01:23:56,677
"The springs are very saggy
and thus an unhealthy bed set."
1633
01:23:56,677 --> 01:23:58,554
"I would actually prefer the top."
1634
01:23:58,554 --> 01:24:00,222
"But over 62 years old,
1635
01:24:00,222 --> 01:24:02,975
and you automatically
are given a lower bunk."
1636

"7:00 a.m., 'coffee.'"
1641
01:24:13,861 --> 01:24:17,573
"What worries me
is the very poor quality of the food
1642
01:24:17,573 --> 01:24:20,367
and the unavailability of fresh anything,
1643
01:24:20,367 --> 01:24:24,497
as there are many starches and many carbs,
many fat foods."
1644
01:24:24,497 --> 01:24:26,165
"No pure anything."
1645
01:24:26,165 --> 01:24:28,000
We had the worst coffee imaginable.
1646
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:32,088
I wasn't a coffee drinker anyway,
but, boy, that coffee was terrible.
1647
01:24:32,588 --> 01:24:34,507
And the milk was ter--
Everything was terrible.
1648
01:24:35,091 --> 01:24:36,717
[woman] "Visit to library."
1649

"Watched Grand Canyon,
Reader's Digest Series."

"One has to use this time
to learn something new every day."
1651
01:24:46,811 --> 01:24:48,479

Martha in eyeglasses before.

There was some embarrassment that she had,

especially with somebody like me
who she'd known for so long.
1683

[audience clapping]
1818
01:33:48,935 --> 01:33:53,398
{\an8}She had lived before that being worried
about what people thought of her.
1819
01:33:53,398 --> 01:33:56,693
And then the worst thing
that could possibly happen happened.
1820
01:33:58,612 --> 01:33:59,821
And she survived it.
1821
01:34:01,490 --> 01:34:02,783
[music fades]
1822
01:34:02,783 --> 01:34:05,243
[Isolde] She'd been set free
by going to prison.
1823
01:34:06,036 --> 01:34:08,205
[The Martha Stewart Show

1824
01:34:08,205 --> 01:34:10,290
[audience clapping and cheering]
1825
01:34:23,261 --> 01:34:24,638
{\an8}[Martha] I am free.
1826
01:34:24,638 --> 01:34:26,807
{\an8}No ankle bracelet.
1827
01:34:26,807 --> 01:34:28,141
{\an8}[audience cheering]
1828
01:34:29,309 --> 01:34:32,979
Mark Burnett,
the creator of The Apprentice,
1829
01:34:32,979 --> 01:34:35,524
proposed a daily show, The Martha Show.
1830
01:34:35,524 --> 01:34:39,027
And I was excited about that,
because yes, of course I wanna do that.
1831
01:34:39,611 --> 01:34:40,821
{\an8}[man] Do you think you're back?
1832
01:34:40,821 --> 01:34:45,534
{\an8}I hope that I have reemerged as a teacher,
1833
01:34:45,534 --> 01:34:48,036
{\an8}as a purveyor of great information.
1834
01:34:48,620 --> 01:34:52,499
{\an8}We are going to mix up the rub,
and you're going to rub it into the meat.
1835
01:34:52,499 --> 01:34:53,542
{\an8}Wow.
1836
01:34:53,542 --> 01:34:55,752
{\an8}[audience laughing]
1837
01:34:55,752 --> 01:34:57,045
{\an8}Okay.
1838
01:34:57,921 --> 01:35:01,299
{\an8}[Martha] Mark Burnett wanted a talk show
with variety guests,
1839
01:35:01,299 --> 01:35:04,886
and I really wanted
my old format of how-to.
1840
01:35:05,637 --> 01:35:08,140
{\an8}She was at a vulnerable moment right then.
1841
01:35:08,140 --> 01:35:10,308
{\an8}Had Martha not gone to prison,
1842
01:35:10,308 --> 01:35:12,728
she wouldn't have done
the deal with Mark Burnett.
1843
01:35:12,728 --> 01:35:14,855
She lost control.
1844
01:35:14,855 --> 01:35:17,232
{\an8}[audience shrieking and laughing]
1845
01:35:17,232 --> 01:35:23,280
{\an8}And the result wasn't what she
or the audiences came to expect.
1846
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,323
{\an8}It just felt forced.
1847
01:35:25,323 --> 01:35:27,659
{\an8}[Martha] I thought I could teach you
something today.
1848
01:35:27,659 --> 01:35:29,995
{\an8}And now, do you get to cook a lot
at home or not?
1849
01:35:29,995 --> 01:35:31,496
{\an8}[laughs] I...
1850
01:35:31,496 --> 01:35:35,333
{\an8}I cannot imagine Martha wanting
to spend her time
1851
01:35:35,333 --> 01:35:39,671
{\an8}with celebrities who were not expert
at whatever it is they were doing.
1852
01:35:39,671 --> 01:35:42,257
Those damn TV shows
were a grade of malice.
1853
01:35:43,383 --> 01:35:47,554
{\an8}People gravitated to Martha Stewart
not because she was celebrity adjacent
1854
01:35:47,554 --> 01:35:49,473
{\an8}or because she was a celebrity.
1855
01:35:49,473 --> 01:35:52,184
{\an8}It was because of what she stood for.
1856
01:35:52,184 --> 01:35:56,396
{\an8}And the daytime show,
that wasn't authentic to Martha.
1857
01:35:57,814 --> 01:36:00,650
{\an8}[Martha] Mark Burnett missed the point
of Martha Stewart.
1858
01:36:01,943 --> 01:36:05,155
Live audience and crummy music and... Ugh.
1859
01:36:05,155 --> 01:36:06,782
That was more like prison
1860
01:36:07,324 --> 01:36:08,700
than being at Alderson.
1861
01:36:10,410 --> 01:36:12,245
{\an8}Just shows when she controls everything,
1862
01:36:12,245 --> 01:36:15,332
{\an8}it works more than
if she lets someone else control.
1863
01:36:16,124 --> 01:36:18,752
{\an8}Martha wanted to do so many things.
1864
01:36:18,752 --> 01:36:22,380
{\an8}But she wasn't allowed to be a CEO
because of the conviction.
1865
01:36:22,380 --> 01:36:24,800
{\an8}[reporter] Stewart is charging
full steam ahead
1866
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:26,134
{\an8}to try to save her company.
1867
01:36:26,134 --> 01:36:29,554
{\an8}This year, they posted a $35 million loss.
1868
01:36:30,889 --> 01:36:34,559
[Gael] The renegotiation of
the Kmart contract was pitiful.
1869
01:36:35,060 --> 01:36:38,522
And the deals that we were being offered
weren't as lucrative.
1870
01:36:38,522 --> 01:36:41,483
{\an8}When you're not making the money
that you need to make,
1871
01:36:41,483 --> 01:36:43,401
there is a lot of confusion.
1872
01:36:43,401 --> 01:36:47,989
And the relationship to authenticity
was harder and harder to hold on to.
1873
01:36:47,989 --> 01:36:50,075
You can't do everything perfectly.
1874
01:36:50,575 --> 01:36:52,661
{\an8}In the 2000s,
1875
01:36:52,661 --> 01:36:54,996
{\an8}Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
1876
01:36:54,996 --> 01:36:59,626
{\an8}increasingly became a very struggling
and shrinking company.
1877
01:36:59,626 --> 01:37:04,047
{\an8}Her social and cultural relevance
just declined.
1878
01:37:04,548 --> 01:37:07,551
{\an8}Once you took Martha out of the CEO seat,
1879
01:37:07,551 --> 01:37:09,719
{\an8}things were not gonna work as well.
1880
01:37:09,719 --> 01:37:13,932
Martha didn't have the control
to bring the company back.
1881
01:37:15,016 --> 01:37:16,601
{\an8}It was a publicly traded company.
1882
01:37:16,601 --> 01:37:19,896
{\an8}There were things that Martha
simply had to get out of the way on
1883
01:37:19,896 --> 01:37:21,773
and had absolutely no authority on.
1884
01:37:22,816 --> 01:37:25,026
Very hard thing for Martha to accept.
1885
01:37:25,026 --> 01:37:27,112
[pensive music playing]
1886
01:37:29,281 --> 01:37:32,492
[Martha] I was much more agile
prior to prison.
1887
01:37:32,993 --> 01:37:36,037
And my life became a little less exciting.
1888
01:37:36,705 --> 01:37:40,166
And I think also,
it affected my relationship with Charles.
1889
01:37:41,209 --> 01:37:43,169
We had this elaborate trip planned.
1890
01:37:43,169 --> 01:37:46,131
We were visiting the president of Iceland
and we were in bed,
1891
01:37:46,131 --> 01:37:49,342
and he said, "You know, Martha,
I'm going to get married."
1892
01:37:50,010 --> 01:37:52,470
He said, "I'm gonna get married to Lisa."
1893
01:37:52,470 --> 01:37:54,139
I said, "Lisa who?"
1894
01:37:54,139 --> 01:37:56,266
I mean, he hadn't told me a word.
1895
01:37:56,266 --> 01:37:57,851
[somber music playing]
1896
01:37:58,685 --> 01:38:02,522
[Martha] "And, by the way, her parents
don't want me to ever speak to you again."
1897
01:38:03,356 --> 01:38:07,360
I thought that was
the most horrible thing a person could do.
1898
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:11,323
How can a man who spent 15 years with me
1899
01:38:12,282 --> 01:38:13,325
just do that?
1900
01:38:16,244 --> 01:38:20,415
What a stupid thing to do
to someone that you actually cared about.
1901
01:38:28,798 --> 01:38:31,968
So, second "divorce."
1902
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:34,930
[music fades]
1903
01:38:34,930 --> 01:38:37,390
{\an8}The Wall Street Journal
is reporting this exclusively
1904
01:38:37,390 --> 01:38:39,768
{\an8}that Martha Stewart is close
to selling her empire,
1905
01:38:39,768 --> 01:38:43,438
{\an8}called Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia,
to a retail licensing company...
1906
01:38:43,438 --> 01:38:46,191
{\an8}[reporter] ...sequential licenses
on a number of brands,
1907
01:38:46,191 --> 01:38:49,152
{\an8}including items in
Jessica Simpson's collection
1908
01:38:49,152 --> 01:38:50,570
{\an8}and Linens 'n Things.
1909
01:38:51,613 --> 01:38:55,450
{\an8}That was a devastating moment
because it marked the end of an era.
1910
01:38:56,034 --> 01:38:57,869
{\an8}[wistful music playing]
1911
01:38:57,869 --> 01:39:02,248
{\an8}There are moments in time
that are inflection points.
1912
01:39:03,208 --> 01:39:07,587
As I look back on that, I think,
Jesus, how that fucked up everything.
1913
01:39:08,630 --> 01:39:13,134
She'd have this company that now would be
worth tens of billions of dollars.
1914
01:39:13,635 --> 01:39:17,430
It would've been huge.
The whole world would've been different.
1915
01:39:18,181 --> 01:39:19,182
Imagine.
1916
01:39:24,145 --> 01:39:26,564
[Martha] My company was founded by me,
1917
01:39:26,564 --> 01:39:29,275
based on all my ideas and my creativity
1918
01:39:29,275 --> 01:39:31,778
and my inner thoughts, put it that way.
1919
01:39:32,654 --> 01:39:33,613
And no longer.
1920
01:39:34,406 --> 01:39:35,740
Being owned by somebody else
1921
01:39:35,740 --> 01:39:38,785
is not the same as having
your own company at all.
1922
01:39:39,536 --> 01:39:40,412
Ugh.
1923
01:39:40,954 --> 01:39:42,414
[female reporter] How much money?
1924
01:39:42,414 --> 01:39:43,331
[Martha] Did I lose?
1925
01:39:43,832 --> 01:39:45,375
Personally, oh, I'm sure--
1926
01:39:45,375 --> 01:39:46,626
$500 million?
1927
01:39:46,626 --> 01:39:49,546
No, probably more than $1 billion,
of course.
1928
01:39:49,546 --> 01:39:51,089
- So...
- More than $1 billion?
1929
01:39:51,089 --> 01:39:52,424
[Martha] Yes, and...
1930
01:39:52,924 --> 01:39:55,677
Enough. Let's get on with...
with the future.
1931
01:40:02,809 --> 01:40:04,144
By that time,
1932
01:40:04,144 --> 01:40:06,354
if you wanna believe in mojo,
1933
01:40:06,354 --> 01:40:08,648
I think my mojo was damaged.
1934
01:40:08,648 --> 01:40:11,151
I wasn't as adept as I had been.
1935
01:40:13,153 --> 01:40:14,654
Something slowed me down.
1936
01:40:20,118 --> 01:40:22,037
But I have two mottos.
1937
01:40:22,871 --> 01:40:25,290
One is, "Learn something new every day."
1938
01:40:26,833 --> 01:40:28,209
And the second one is,
1939
01:40:28,209 --> 01:40:30,420
"When you're through changing,
you're through."
1940
01:40:33,965 --> 01:40:35,967
Change that garden if you don't like it.
1941
01:40:37,594 --> 01:40:39,804
Rip it out, and you start all over again.
1942
01:40:39,804 --> 01:40:41,890
[peppy percussive music playing]
1943
01:40:43,058 --> 01:40:45,143
[crowd cheering and yelling]
1944
01:40:45,143 --> 01:40:46,311
[man] Justin!
1945
01:40:48,980 --> 01:40:52,776
{\an8}Justin Bieber, he really was sort of
at the lowest point of his life.
1946
01:40:52,776 --> 01:40:53,818
{\an8}[Justin] What'd you say?
1947
01:40:53,818 --> 01:40:55,862
- [man] You heard.
- I'll beat the fuck out of you.
1948
01:40:55,862 --> 01:40:58,364
{\an8}[Jonas] And so his manager and Justin
1949
01:40:58,364 --> 01:41:01,785
{\an8}both thought the Comedy Central Roast
would be an opportunity
1950
01:41:01,785 --> 01:41:04,954
{\an8}for Justin to kind of get out
in front of this train wreck
1951
01:41:04,954 --> 01:41:06,706
that was happening all around him.
1952
01:41:06,706 --> 01:41:08,041
- So, stakes were high.
- [screams]
1953
01:41:08,041 --> 01:41:10,877
Nothing's off limits.
It's a roast. You hit everywhere.
1954
01:41:10,877 --> 01:41:13,713
[Jonas] Justin's manager called me
one day and he goes,
1955
01:41:13,713 --> 01:41:15,590
"I got the greatest thing ever."
1956
01:41:15,590 --> 01:41:17,050
"I got Martha Stewart."
1957
01:41:17,550 --> 01:41:19,010
[man] Martha, for us right here!
1958
01:41:19,010 --> 01:41:20,345
[Jonas] Martha's a legend,
1959
01:41:20,345 --> 01:41:23,932
and she's bringing in her own experience,
having been in prison.
1960
01:41:23,932 --> 01:41:27,018
And that was also
the trajectory that Justin was on.
1961
01:41:27,018 --> 01:41:28,728
It was like an intervention. [chuckles]
1962
01:41:28,728 --> 01:41:32,398
{\an8}At that point, Martha had been
off the air for a few years.
1963
01:41:32,398 --> 01:41:36,402
{\an8}And, culturally,
she had become pretty irrelevant.
1964
01:41:37,028 --> 01:41:38,363
[reporter] What was your reaction
1965
01:41:38,363 --> 01:41:40,448
when they asked you
to be here for the Bieber roast?
1966
01:41:40,448 --> 01:41:41,908
Cool. Cool.
1967
01:41:42,575 --> 01:41:44,661
[Meg] It just felt like
it came out of left field.
1968
01:41:44,661 --> 01:41:46,287
It really was like, what?
1969
01:41:46,788 --> 01:41:48,081
[Martha] My publicist said,
1970
01:41:48,081 --> 01:41:52,418
"This is a little bit out
of your milieu, Martha."
1971
01:41:52,418 --> 01:41:56,422
And my daughter said, "Okay, Mom,
yeah, sure, go out and do Comedy Central."
1972
01:41:56,422 --> 01:41:59,425
She said, "Have you ever watched
a Comedy Central Roast?"
1973
01:41:59,425 --> 01:42:01,678
And I said, "Well, I... I think so."
1974
01:42:01,678 --> 01:42:03,596
I hadn't watched anything.
1975
01:42:03,596 --> 01:42:04,889
[man in crowd] Hey, Martha!
1976
01:42:04,889 --> 01:42:07,016
- [crowd clamoring]
- [clapping]
1977
01:42:07,016 --> 01:42:09,644
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
My name is Kevin Hart.
1978
01:42:09,644 --> 01:42:13,439
And welcome to the Comedy Central roast
of Justin Bieber.
1979
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,483
- [crowd cheers and applauds]
- [Kevin] Yeah!
1980
01:42:15,483 --> 01:42:18,945
We're about to give this boy
a ass whupping that he deserves. We are.
1981
01:42:19,571 --> 01:42:20,405
We are!
1982
01:42:21,030 --> 01:42:24,742
For all the Black people that are confused
about that old white woman on the couch,
1983
01:42:24,742 --> 01:42:26,161
that's Martha Stewart.
1984
01:42:26,161 --> 01:42:28,037
- [laughter]
- Yeah, right there.
1985
01:42:28,830 --> 01:42:30,373
That's Martha Stewart right there.
1986
01:42:31,457 --> 01:42:33,918
Martha Stewart had her shirt off
in my dressing room.
1987
01:42:33,918 --> 01:42:34,836
[laughter]
1988
01:42:34,836 --> 01:42:36,296
Stop. Stop. Stop.
1989
01:42:36,296 --> 01:42:37,881
Don't get the wrong idea.
1990
01:42:38,590 --> 01:42:41,467
She just wanted me to titty fuck her!
Yeah!
1991

[audience laughs]
1992
01:42:42,677 --> 01:42:45,221
I'm just trying to loosen y'all up.
I'm sorry.
1993
01:42:45,221 --> 01:42:47,891
[Martha] Alexis said,
"You know they roast you too?"
1994
01:42:47,891 --> 01:42:49,767
And I didn't pay any attention to that.
1995
01:42:49,767 --> 01:42:53,104
Martha, it's nice to see you, uh,
interacting with Black people
1996
01:42:53,104 --> 01:42:54,856
for the first time since prison.
1997
01:42:54,856 --> 01:42:56,441
- That's really nice.
- [audience laughs]
1998
01:42:56,441 --> 01:43:00,153
Martha is so old,
her first period was the Renaissance.
1999
01:43:00,153 --> 01:43:02,238
[audience laughs]
2000
01:43:02,238 --> 01:43:04,991
{\an8}The real surprise to all of us
2001
01:43:04,991 --> 01:43:07,785
{\an8}was what everybody else
was saying about her.
2002
01:43:08,369 --> 01:43:11,539
That was not something
we had been warned about.
2003
01:43:12,290 --> 01:43:13,875
All these rappers onstage,
2004
01:43:13,875 --> 01:43:16,669
and Martha Stewart
has done the most jail time.
2005
01:43:19,547 --> 01:43:24,219
{\an8}Everything that transpires in a roast
is in the pursuit, of course, of a laugh,
2006
01:43:24,219 --> 01:43:26,846
{\an8}but also to get to some sort of truth.
2007
01:43:26,846 --> 01:43:28,306
[Kevin] Martha Stewart, everybody.
2008
01:43:28,306 --> 01:43:30,391
- [crowd cheering]
- [upbeat music playing]
2009
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:34,687
First of all, thank you, Kevin Hart.
2010
01:43:34,687 --> 01:43:37,523
It's really great to be here--
Oh, there you are.
2011
01:43:37,523 --> 01:43:40,860
Sitting and listening to you yell
your jokes over the last hour
2012
01:43:40,860 --> 01:43:43,696
is the hardest time I've ever done.
2013
01:43:44,614 --> 01:43:45,531
As we all know,
2014
01:43:45,531 --> 01:43:48,660
Kevin is one of the biggest movie stars
in the business right now,
2015
01:43:48,660 --> 01:43:50,119
and he deserves it.
2016
01:43:50,119 --> 01:43:52,080
He's struggled for years.
2017
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:55,166
When he finally got
his first big paycheck,
2018
01:43:55,166 --> 01:43:58,962
he spent $150,000 on a watch. [laughs]
2019
01:43:59,545 --> 01:44:01,923
I forget that term, uh, for that.
2020
01:44:01,923 --> 01:44:04,425
It's not African American rich.
2021
01:44:04,425 --> 01:44:05,510
It'll come to me.
2022
01:44:05,510 --> 01:44:06,719
[audience laughs]
2023
01:44:13,017 --> 01:44:15,812
You would never know
that Snoop Dogg is 43 now,
2024
01:44:15,812 --> 01:44:19,274
which is three times
as long as actual dogs live
2025
01:44:19,274 --> 01:44:21,985
and twice as long as most of his friends.
2026
01:44:21,985 --> 01:44:24,070
[dismayed laughter]
2027
01:44:26,114 --> 01:44:29,450
[Jonas] You expected her to come up
and do something soft.
2028
01:44:29,450 --> 01:44:31,244
But she went the other way.
2029
01:44:31,244 --> 01:44:32,745
I do a lot of gardening,
2030
01:44:32,745 --> 01:44:35,164
but you are without a doubt
2031
01:44:35,164 --> 01:44:38,126
the dirtiest used-up ho I have ever seen.
2032
01:44:40,503 --> 01:44:43,840
[Jonas] It shocked the audience.
How could Martha Stewart be that funny?
2033
01:44:46,676 --> 01:44:51,472
Let's get to the reason I'm here tonight,
which is to give Justin Bieber some tips
2034
01:44:51,973 --> 01:44:54,726
to use when he inevitably
ends up in prison.
2035
01:44:55,393 --> 01:44:56,853
[audience laughs]
2036
01:44:56,853 --> 01:45:00,189
I've been in lockup,
and you wouldn't last a week,
2037
01:45:00,189 --> 01:45:01,691
so pay attention.
2038
01:45:01,691 --> 01:45:03,943
The first thing you'll need is a shank.
2039
01:45:04,444 --> 01:45:08,072
I made mine out of a pintail comb
and a pack of gum.
2040
01:45:08,072 --> 01:45:09,365
[audience laughing]
2041

[laughs]
2042
01:45:10,325 --> 01:45:11,951
I'll show you how later.
2043
01:45:11,951 --> 01:45:13,995
It's so simple.
2044
01:45:15,121 --> 01:45:19,459
I found Bubblicious works best,
and it's so much fun to say.
2045
01:45:20,835 --> 01:45:22,670
You see, when I did my stretch,
2046
01:45:22,670 --> 01:45:24,756
all the hood rats on my cell block
2047
01:45:24,756 --> 01:45:27,759
wanted to break off
a piece of Martha Stewart's ass,
2048
01:45:27,759 --> 01:45:31,763
so I decided some bitch needed to get got.
2049
01:45:32,847 --> 01:45:35,058
I walked into the chow hall,
2050
01:45:35,058 --> 01:45:37,352
picked out the biggest bull dyke,
2051
01:45:37,352 --> 01:45:38,853
and I stuck her.
2052
01:45:38,853 --> 01:45:42,815
From then on, prison was easier
than making blueberry scones.
2053
01:45:42,815 --> 01:45:44,609
[crowd roars with laughter]

[Jonas] She was the star of that roast.
2057
01:45:56,245 --> 01:45:57,747
{\an8}It was a masterstroke.
2058
01:45:57,747 --> 01:45:59,582
{\an8}[Martha speaks indistinctly]
2059
01:45:59,582 --> 01:46:01,626
{\an8}[Meg] It was brilliant in so many ways,
2060
01:46:01,626 --> 01:46:04,796
because it was Martha
reclaiming her identity.
2061
01:46:04,796 --> 01:46:05,838
Whoo!
2062
01:46:06,964 --> 01:46:09,384
[Meg] And it really made waves.
2063
01:46:10,885 --> 01:46:13,930
{\an8}It catapulted her into a younger audience
2064
01:46:13,930 --> 01:46:15,723
{\an8}who said, "She's one of us."
2065
01:46:18,810 --> 01:46:21,437
{\an8}[Martha] I sat next to Snoop
for seven hours.
2066
01:46:21,437 --> 01:46:24,649
And he was smoking away,
blunt after blunt,
2067
01:46:24,649 --> 01:46:28,027
and I was just getting higher
and higher sitting there.
2068
01:46:29,445 --> 01:46:31,781
{\an8}We just so happened
to be sitting side by side,
2069
01:46:31,781 --> 01:46:35,243
{\an8}and my secondhand smoke,
you know, created an idea
2070
01:46:35,243 --> 01:46:38,162
that maybe we should hang out
and talk about some things.
2071
01:46:38,663 --> 01:46:41,749
In the beginning, it was more about
me telling her I like what she do,
2072
01:46:41,749 --> 01:46:42,667
and how she get down.
2073
01:46:42,667 --> 01:46:46,045
And I felt like she'd be an upgrade for me
just to be in her presence.
2074
01:46:46,546 --> 01:46:48,464
And it spawned an adventure.
2075

01:46:51,551 --> 01:46:54,262

2078

Melding cultures is a good thing.
2079
01:47:01,060 --> 01:47:06,149
{\an8}That is such an exquisite pairing
because of everything that she represents,
2080
01:47:06,149 --> 01:47:08,776
and he just seems like the polar opposite.
2081
01:47:08,776 --> 01:47:10,611

of Martha Stewart's success

{\an8}lies deep in the success itself...
2148
01:50:33,397 --> 01:50:37,401
which is why even her troubles

[Martha] I have always looked for voids.

What can I do to help fill that void?

01:51:02,176 --> 01:51:03,886
You see a... a field,
2157
01:51:03,886 --> 01:51:06,972
and you turn that field
into a fantastic garden.
2158
01:51:10,309 --> 01:51:12,645

Although, I've learned as one gets older,
2162

imperfections are a little bit more okay

when I was a little younger.
