[music] -My name is Reita Green.

I've been in California for many, many years, and I learned how to hang wallpaper.

Now I call myself Reita Green, the Wallpaper Queen.

I'm 86 and a half years old, so if I can make it in life, anybody can make it.

-My name is Beverly Pate.

I'm 28 years old, and I'm Beverly Pate, the Wallpaper Princess.

I'm Reita's prodigy, so.

[laughs] [music] -That guy doesn't behave himself.

There.

Yes, okay.

-I'm online, and I'm like, okay, wallpaper.

That's doable, affordable, I'm renting, it can come off easily, and the first thing that pops up, Reita Green, the Wallpaper Queen.

-When I first went to her home, we didn't have quite enough paper.

-She had to come back.

When she came back, I was still in the process of getting all my ideas in order because I had just freshly moved.

I'm hanging curtains, I'm doing stuff in the bathroom.

-I said, "Miss Beverly, are you using a power drill?"

Because I don't use power drills with my work.

I thought, "I got to go get to know--" "Oh, yes," she said.

"I hung all the drapes in the living room."

"I got to go get to know this lady."

-I came, and I just left a thank-you card.

No address or number or anything, but Reita has every number and name of everybody she's ever wallpapered written down somewhere.

She found me and invited me to come over for lunch.

-Well, she came over, and we started talking.

I told her, "I'm 86, and I'm looking for a young person to help me.

Would you ever be interested in learning how to hang wallpaper?"

She said yes.

I think she thought, "Why not?"

-That was the start of our friendship.

[music] -Beverly?

Where's my Beverly?

Give me your hand.

Ah, there we go.

-Am I cold?

-No.

Okey-dokey.

Onboard.

[music] -It's not very often you can be so close with someone and work with them, Not only that, it's just being around her and seeing her tenacity and her willpower and how she is.

You meet someone once, and they may be like that, and you don't know if they're always like that.

Being around her all of this time, I know Reita is like this every day with everybody.

-I learn so much from Beverly, and I teach her things too.

We have fun together.

[chuckles] Beverly's so tall, she doesn't need a ladder.

We don't want that paper getting on the wallpaper.

[music] -I really, really hope one day I'm in the position where I can do what Reita did for me for somebody else because I think it's so important to have a mentor and to learn from somebody.

-The more I spend time with Beverly, my dear Beverly Pate, the more I know how important she is.

I'm going to make her a star because if I can make it in life, Beverly is brilliant compared to me.

We're going to make her into a star.

I've always been a star in my little way.

[Family Night with Horace Heidt] -Ladies and gentlemen, how do you do?

Welcome to our musical review.

In just a moment, the curtain's rising, and we'll have lots of wonderful surprises.

[A Stranger in My Arms] -What's a navigational error?

-That's what happens to you after the third martini.

[chuckles] -I've never seen Donald's room either.

-Bessie.

-Well, I think he's cute.

Is he going to stay for a while?

-No, dear, he isn't going to stay for a while.

-I got started after The Horace Heidt Show, which I was a dancer on.

We traveled all around America.

I did TV, I did movies.

It was just wonderful.

Oh, here I am looking pretty good.

That's when I did the part Stranger in My Arms at Universal with Jeff Chandler and June Allyson, Conrad Nagel, Mary Astor, all these wonderful movie stars.

I was the youngest one.

Guess what I played?

A dumb blonde.

Not me.

Was that typecasting?

No, but I can play any role.

I played Antigone at UCLA, and that's what got me the A-, and that's a heavy Greek drama.

Anyway, life goes on, kids.

Doodles Weaver, my husband, he was a brilliant guy.

I met him when I was a very young girl, I think 15 and a half or something.

Here we are, we're dancing together.

Now, if you can dance, you got my heart.

A man who takes Reita Green dancing, you got me right there.

You hooked me because I love to dance.

He was a gentleman and a scholar.

He taught me so much school-wise and everything.

Wonderful human being, wonderful man.

Yes, there's a sad part.

My husband had a little drinking problem.

See, he was what you call a periodic alcoholic.

He didn't drink every day, but he would go on binges and he would take pills, antidepressants.

I was working as a waitress when I got the news, "Mama, come home, we have something to talk about."

They told me that my husband had shot himself.

In the heart, by the way.

He had the robe on that I had made him for Christmas.

He wanted to go.

Whatever problems come for me, I can handle.

Maybe not that day.

I might have to cry, go to bed, and figure it out, but I can handle life because I have to be that way.

[music] -Okay, Beverly, this little guy, he needs a bigger house, so we're going to put him just like that.

Then we're going to put soil in there all around.

-Everybody looks at the dynamic of our relationship and they're like, "What's going on?

Are they related?"

Because we're 50-plus years difference.

Once you meet Reita and you realize that she's such a young soul, she's not 86, everyone falls in love with her.

Everyone.

-You should be good.

-Recently my aunt passed away due to suicide, which was really hard for me.

I talked to Reita about it, and sadly, she can relate to suicide and losing people.

We bond off of the pain but in a healthy way because we do things like try to inspire and laugh and make people happy.

-I'm celebrating.

It says, "Celebrate."

I celebrate life.

I get these little things at the 99 Cents Store.

[chuckles] For $1.29, any time you eat sugar or carbohydrates, you take one of these.

Boy, oh boy.

You don't get diabetes.

You go to the doctor every six months, and the doctor says, "Wow, your blood sugar is great," because I take Sugar Balance.

-Who gets distracted?

-Me.

[laughter] It's not easy being Reita Green.

We got work yet to do, Beverly.

-Exciting.

-It's exciting for having a lady's soft power goddess gathering.

Beverly, she's the brains of the act.

She comes up with the best ideas.

That's why she's in my life.

No, that's just one reason.

A million reasons.

A million.

-I spent a million bucks.

-Also, she was pharmaceutical.

They have FDA regulations.

-She was here for and a half years.

-Whenever they see a benefit of [?

]- -She took care of me.

--they also have to tell the [?].

-If they want to get together and talk, and if somebody got a good idea, how we can inspire each other to go forward, I'm ready.

My home is mi casa, su casa.

My house is your house.

If you want to come and have a luncheon, you're always welcome.

-Really high, boundless energy is associated with choosing this card.

The universe supports you.

Infinity is without beginning and without end.

Go the distance.

Outside energies are very important at this time.

-That's you.

-There may be more going on than meets the eye.

-That's all of us.

-Now, take the appropriate steps to do so.

Here it is, infinity.

-That's lovely.

Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-That made me happy.

Gave me goosebumps.

-Same.

-Put that back in.

Anybody else want to pull a card?

-I do.

-My name is Deborah Netburn.

I am a reporter for the Los Angeles Times.

There's a quote that the world is as beautiful as it is terrible.

I think the media does a really great job of telling us about all the terrible things that are happening.

It's really important and we need to know, but I think it's also really important to remember that even when it feels like the weight of the world is like, oof, that there is also happening, for real, really beautiful things around us, beautiful friendships, people who just believe in making other people's lives happier and who have a lot of love to share.

That is just as real as climate change.

I think it's important that we hear those stories too.

-My goal is just to keep the message going.

There's no ends to what we can accomplish, and I'm happy with where life's at right now.

-I want us women to go forward but not with guns and war.

I want us to motivate the world through soft power.

When ladies get together, you can either be jealous of each other, which women and men can be jealous of each other, or you can see the good in each other and get along and bring the best out of each other.

Okay, let me see if I can do it.

Okay, ready?

-Yes.

-All right.

She's ready.

She's ready.

Good.

[?].

Thank you.

Look how they're soft and good.

Oranges for breakfast.

An orange a day keeps the doctor away.

Peace, harmony.

That's what I want for the whole world.

Peace and harmony and helping each other.

I have so much to live for.

I just want to keep the world going positive forward.

Pinky finger.

Okay.

[laughter] [music] -Is that you?

Oh, that's you, David.
