Joan Rivers Interviewing Sela Ward on the Red Carpet

[Sunday, September 10, 2000 about 7:45PM EST, Melissa Rivers cuts back to her mom who is saying she's with her friend from Cannes... ]

JR -- Oh MY..

SW -- Thank you, Joan.

JR -- This is very dominatrix.

SW -- Well, I thought it was a fun change of pace, other than a gown. (It's) David Cordona who always does really flattering things but with a little edge, and still feminine...

JR -- You have two children...

SW -- I have two kids..

JR -- What do they think about mommy in leather...

SW -- "Mommy, you look so pretty." I could have on pajamas and they say "Mommy you're pretty.." Those are my kids!

JR -- Turn around, show us everything..

[ Sela does, and describes the details...Raffinity(?) necklace, the particulars about the skirt of pleated silk.. down to the black bag ]

SW -- .....you're all set!

JR -- You look so beautiful..

SW -- Thank you so much!

JR -- You look gorgeous, on both sides of the Atlantic...
