"I can't believe how lucky I am, and then to get any kind of recognition seemed like too good to believe," said Melissa.

"She's been at this awhile and she's worked her way up," said Sandra of her co-star and friend. "This was not an overnight story. There is a tremendous background and work ethic that has gone into this amazing career."

"You're saying I'm old?" a deadpan Melissa asked Sandra.

"I'm just saying that since you were two, you've accomplished a great deal," replied Sandra, trying to keep a straight face. "But now that you're only 25, it's amazing where you've come from."

In theaters June 28, The Heat casts Sandra as Sarah Ashburn, an uptight FBI Special Agent forced to team up with Melissa's foul-mouthed Boston cop Shannon Mullins. The two couldn't be more incompatible, but when they join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies.
