The director and his three sisters — Anne, Sue and Nancy — have always been close. 'The Fabelmans,' his film based on their childhoods, deepened the bond.
The actor hasn’t worked since “The Fabelmans” wrapped production. She is sated and fulfilled. And the mother of young boys. Bring on the joy!The siblings have always been close. “The Fabelmans” deepened their bond. “You allowed yourself to become vulnerable,” Nancy tells Steven, holding his hand. Anne takes his other hand.
In looking over footage of a family camping trip, a 16-year-old Steven Spielberg realized his mother’s relationship with a family friend went beyond friendly. Steven’s screenplay contained a secret he had never shared with his sisters. In cutting together footage he shot during several family camping trips in Arizona, Steven, then 16, discovered that his mother and his father’s best friend, Bernie, who was a constant presence in the Spielberg family’s lives, had fallen in love.
“It really hit me with such sadness that you couldn’t share that until now,” Sue says. “I felt so heartbroken.”“I’m the baby, and when I was born there were always three adult faces looking down at me when I was in a crib, so I didn’t know my life without Bernie,” Nancy says. “He was a fixture. And we had no idea. He was our friend. That was a shock.” She puts her hand on her brother’s shoulder. “But also I felt so bad that you had to hold that all those years.
Though the brother in him was at a loss, I ask Steven if, in that moment, the filmmaker in him was thinking, “It worked! It worked!”Steven smiles. “I think the brother in me wanted to apologize for putting them through this ...” — the sisters are laughing the whole time he’s talking — “... and the filmmaker in me thought, ‘OK, well ...
“My mother said one thing to me about their camping trips that showed there was an intimacy unbeknownst to us,” Anne says. “They’d sleep in their sleeping bags under the stars, unzipped if the weather allowed, and Dad would be holding her hand on one side, and Bernie would take her hand on the other side.
