Blind

- Welcome to Celebrities Uncovered.

I'm your host, Lisa Carmel.

Today, we're joined by the lovely Faye Dayne,

star of the film "Fog Storm"

which opens nationwide in theaters this Friday.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

I know you were headed to a special needs charity event.

We really appreciate you welcoming us into your home.

Its my pleasure.

- So, yesterday we interviewed Cage

regarding his role in "Fog Storm".

Tell us a little bit about your character.

- Megan is tough, she goes through hell

but I love the fact that she never gives up.

She always keeps fighting.

- You seem to have it all.

A career that's skyrocketing,

a house in the Hollywood hills.

Isn't it beautiful?

You should see the sunset, it's amazing.

It's probably my favorite part of living here.

What's next for you?

- Well um, actually I'm taking the next few weeks off.

My first real vacation in years.

And where you gonna go?

You got a boyfriend to take along with you?

Milan, Paris?

- Actually I plan on staying home and relaxing.

I never get to do that.

Maybe get laser surgery.

I'm so sick of wearing these stupid contacts all the time.

- Well whatever you decide to do,

enjoy your time off.

All the buzz is that you've got

a really big hit on your hands.

All the early reviews say this is gonna

be your best film yet.

- Thank you, so great to hear.

Naturally.

Any last words?

- Go see "Fog Storm" it's a lot of fun.

Coming.

- I think I've got like a bug in my ear,

like a gnat flew in my ear and its like in there

and I, you know, I can't reach for it, I can't get it out.

All these plants.

God damn, its like an Amazonian jungle here

now I got hair in my mouth.

My girlfriend took me to this Italian restaurant.

She said, "There's a guy here."

She's sighted.

"Guy here, he's got a lot of hair in his ear's."

Do you think I'm growing hair in my ears?

Women don't get the hair in the ears.

Do they?

Are we here?

Its flat, are we here?

She said its a nest of hair like...

We got it from here.

Yeah, I'm going in.

I'll be back in an hour

for the group meeting.

I'll see you soon.

Okay, bye.

Here you go, Sophia.

Thank you.

Not, sorry .

Its good for you.

Exactly.

You're thinking.

- Think Luke will be upset if I cancel hosting the meeting?

- I don't think he'll say anything.

- Can you be serious for a moment?

I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Look, I, I know that you're nervous, okay,

you still have so many memories of your old life.

I don't have that problem, I was born this way.

You want your old life back, I get it.

I can't help it.

- But it keeps you from embracing your new life.

I don't have a new life.

But you could.

In case you haven't noticed, Luke's got the hots for you.

No he doesn't.

- Does he have to spell it out for you?

Really?

Okay, that was an accident.

How would that even work?

A blind girl and a mute guy.

- Not gonna know unless you take a leap.

Got to take that first step.

- We have a new member to our group today.

Everyone welcome Lydia.

- Hi, Lydia. - Hey, Lydia.

- Lydia, would you like to share

your story with us?

I was in a car accident.

The man that was driving the car that hit me

was intoxicated.

I can't remember what he looks like anymore.

Funny how that fades with time.

But I can still smell his breath if I think hard enough.

The stench of bourbon and cigarettes.

I hit my head on the steering wheel.

I'm not sure why the air bag didn't inflate.

A mechanic checked it after the accident

and it was in perfect working order.

Just one of those things, I guess.

I ended up with cerebral hemorrhage.

At first, I could see a little but everything was hazy.

What I wouldn't give to have that back.

A week later, I lost my vision completely.

I was left in darkness while the man that hit me

he got away without a scratch.

But hey I can now smell a donut shop from a mile away

so that's that.

Losing one sense

will lead your remaining senses to heightened awareness.

Bullshit.

- You'll notice that your sense

of hearing will improve.

Your sense of taste, your sense of smell.

You'll begin to navigate your environment much better.

Look at Faye.

Today she went on a hike for the first time

since she lost her vision.

Did you ever think you would do that again?

No.

But you did.

All of you are not disabled.

You must remember that.

You are not handicapped.

They are simply labels.

You are all so strong, stronger than you know.

You can push the body to remarkable heights

but nothing can compare to what you can accomplish

with your mind when you decide to trust your instincts

and focus on bettering yourself.

Its difficult, the most difficult thing you will do.

You will have many bad days but then you'll have a good day.

Those good days will begin to stack up

and before you know it, you have a good week,

then a good month, then a good year.

We all struggle but together we can achieve so much more.

Bullshit.

- Now that wasn't so bad, was it?

How did it feel having a house full of strangers?

My anxiety level is at a 10.

You are a 10.

Isn't that right, Luke?

Yes!

It was quite the day today.

- Did you enjoy your hike?

Yes.

I'm free tomorrow

if you want to do another session.

Sure.

You'll join us, too, right, Sophia?

Can't, me and Mark have plans.

We aint got shit.

Great, so then its a plan.

The three of us again.

Yay.

Call Sophia.

Hi, Sophia.

Hey, good morning.

You sound tired.

- I didn't sleep well last night.

Neither did I.

- I'm calling to let you know I have to cancel hiking today.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I just want to stay in.

I was gonna call Luke to let him know

but I want to let you know first.

No need, I'm gonna go anyway.

You are?

- Yeah, I had a great time yesterday.

Okay, I'm sorry.

No worries.

Bye.

- You know, a lot of people are into hiking.

I am not one of those people.

Then why come?

- I'm gonna be brutally honest with you, okay.
