Yet he still had doubts, even at the very end. I feel like that's something that stung him. © Copyright 2020 Rolling Stone, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Business Media, LLC. And somehow you could see that in her Lady A character.Thank you! A: That's what I loved about the way he spoke, too, and what I wanted to honor in the film.

Great interview!I am 60 years old and still have a crush on Lady Aberlin.During my four years at Pgh Theological Seminary, I sat in class with Fred Rogers twice. That's why the thing that lured me into making this film was listening to the speeches he gave, and just feeling like this is a voice that I don't hear in our culture today and really needs to be part of the conversation.

That's incredible, and an indication of the merit of the Rogers philosophy.The real Betty is more complex than the TV character -- and yet, that's a significant part of who she really is. A: It's amazing.

It was whilst watching Mister Rogers that I first heard Eric Kloss, a wonderful alto saxophonist.I wonder whatever happened to him? And there’s constant petty shade at other childrens’ TV, which just gets silly – the movie attacks Sesame Street as brain-rotting swill. And you have to wonder, where's the dramatic tension, where's the character development, for someone who epitomized consistency? Fred Rogers, creator and host of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," may not sound like the most-exciting subject for a documentary. Growing up in the Seventies, I thought he’d been around forever, feeding the fish and zipping his cardigan, but he’d just arrived in 1968. He talks about peace and justice and love as the three things he believed were most essential. You know, there's a bit of a tortured artist to him that I found kind of revealing. Wherever I go.” That was the point, really. Dear Anonymous: Which "h-word" was that? Dave Chappelle summed up the grief of finding out Cosby was a horrific sexual predator – it was like losing faith in “chocolate ice cream itself.” That’s the kind of relevation most of us were not-so-secretly dreading here. The only person who didn't do an interview was Betty Aberlin (who played Lady Aberlin), and I talked to her many times for many hours on the phone. Fred was all about questions, not about answers. And thanks to Morgan Neville’s excellent documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, people are spending the summer with a serious case of Fred Rogers Fever. A: I think his superpower was emotional honesty (laughs).

Her comment about fried being against touching is one of the things I always found reassuring about him. A: Without a doubt. Ultimately the experience of working on the film, and maybe watching the film, is he's going to find that bullseye in you. At one point, soon after 9/11, he comes out of retirement to give a TV message: “We are all called to be Tikkun Olam, repairers of creation.” It’s strange to hear the audience gasp viscerally at those words – a lot of ugggh, a lot of ooow. It's idiotic, but also kind of sadly contemporary. Nobody ever failed to Milkshake Duck like Fred Rogers. The estate had never given permission for anything like this. And that he was also riddled with doubt about the ethicacy of what he was trying to do. Just to pick the most obvious example, David Byrne was an artist who self-consciously styled himself as a parody of a Mr. Rogers square, at first ironically in Talking Heads songs like “The Big Country” (“Look at that kitchen! Music was always key to his work and life. I just had to discover all that. A: There's no new Mr. Rogers. Neville, who won an Oscar for "20 Feet from Stardom," has made any number of films about all kinds of people. He would find your emotional bullseye and go for it. It's a pretty astonishing moment when Hamilton, a kindly grandmother, puts on her Wicked Witch of the West costume: not so scary, after all, because it's only make-believe. Some 15 years after his death, in a mighty ugly year for the neighborhood, he hits a nerve. Fred had no tolerance for that. But something about Mr. Rogers speaks right to the heart of our moment. This interview was a fascinating read. It's disappointing to know that it was upsetting for her and other cast mates when Fred said they were actors but he was himself. He rode in the convertible, waving and smiling next to his fellow Grand Marshall … a guy named Bill Cosby.

The footage in the film of that is great. At the theater, Betty hosts various musicians and performers. And I feel like as we grow up we mask a lot of those things, and we hide our intentions. Now more than ever, Fred Rogers matters. And is there an audience for it?

I am a huge Fred Rogers fan, and I also love Betty Aberlin's work on those shows. He would drop by his school that he graduated from, every once in awhile. Madeline Kahn: Being the Music on Facebook! Most insightful and interesting. We want to hear from you! / And all of that food!”), but eventually going Full Fred on Little Creatures and True Stories. Betty Aberlin is a longtime resident of the real Neighborhood. Want more Rolling Stone? Just a need for the kind of things Rogers was putting out there for years. How sad to learn he hated the Banana Splits – as a ride-or-die bitch for Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and Snork, I must admit this was the most disillusioning reveal in the story. If he had been satisfied with his good deeds, he probably wouldn't have had a TV show for 30 some-odd years and done everything else he did.

/ When the whole wide world seems oh so wrong / And nothing you do seems very right?” In 2018, these are not just questions for kids.
