Marsha Mason
5d ago01:12:23Tap to summarizeIt's Marsha Mason. You Might Know Her From The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two, The Middle, Grace & Frankie, Drop Dead Fred, Heartbreak Ridge, Frasier, Only When I Laugh, Cinderella Liberty, and Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows. Marsha is a prolific stage and screen actor, a 4-time Oscar-nominee, an organic herb farmer, a race car driver, and a theatre director who gave us all the scoop on jumping in as a last-minute understudy for The Roommate starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow on Broadway. We talk about her artistic (and personal) partnership with her ex-husband Neil Simon, the original Goodbye Girl directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robert Deniro that never was (Bogart Slept Here), and what it was like seeing Kathleen Turner "play her" in her stepdaughter, Ellen Simon's film Moonlight and Valentino. All that plus, the cult status of Drop Dead Fred, her failed sitcom Sibs, and the Ethel Gumm of it all. This one was such an incredible full-circle moment for us and a great way to close out this half of the season but we'll be back real soon! Love yous, mean it.

2w ago00:24:03Tap to summarizeFolks, it's a part one because we can't stop talking. We are finally digging into Liza Minnelli's autobiography Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! There is just so much: obviously Judy Garland (and Liza's surprising frankness about their relationship), Vincente Minnelli, Lorna, Joe, Kay Thompson, Peter Allen, Peter Sellers, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz Jr., Halston, Kander and Ebb, Bob Fosse, Chita, Gwen VerDON (a little), and wow, what else? So much. And this is only like the first--halfish? Buckle up, because we are in-real-time processing this incredible work (with the caveat that it is read by a Liza-bot). We hope you've listened and/or read and are ready to deep dive with us, too. What did you think?

Apr 2300:59:35Tap to summarizeYou Might Know Her From Gilmore Girls, Better Call Saul, Prodigal Son, The First, Shameless, Hair Show, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, 13 Reasons Why, and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

Plus, improvising with Mo'Nique and Taraji, shadowing Frances McDormand as she finessed Michael Bay, and transitioning to authority figure roles when you're so iconically a "teen" on screen. Keiko was so kind and warm and maybe made Anne and Damian think about improvisation in an ideally way? We loved it!
