Babes, it's here! Our live recording with Emmy-winner Ann Dowd! You Might Know Her From The Handmaid's Tale, The Testaments, Hereditary, Compliance, Philadelphia, Lorenzo's Oil, Masters of Sex, Marley & Me, Garden State, Freaks & Geeks, Mass, Olive Kitteridge, and The Leftovers.
We talk about Ann's incredible take on Mrs. Garrett/Charlotte Rae in the Live in Front of a Studio Audience stagings of The Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes, her own FYC campaign for Compliance (and whether she was inspired by Melissa Leo or nah), and the constant comparisons with Margo Martindale. All that plus, whether Aunt Lydia could be gay, the ever-changing rules in The Testaments universe, the legacy of The Leftovers, and Ann's own status as a gay icon ("MOTHER" if you will) after her performances in Philadelphia and lesbian indie All Over Me (co-starring Leisha Hailey, hello!).
Darling, we were just over the moon getting to do this with Ann Dowd. And on stage in front of queers in our favorite little gay town? Heaven, honey.
