You Might Know Her From

Achoo! We're falling in love with the one and only Faith Prince. You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP!  Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero.  Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously “realistic” production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell in the short-lived High Society.   This one was a HOOT.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Evergreen topics for Anne and Damian: Tyne Daly in Gypsy, Grease, Spice Girls track listings, we look like cats in Heathcliff, the cast of Mannequin 2 aka is it Jonathan Silverman, no it's William Ragsdale in Herman's Head, Sex and the City/AJLT Cynthia Nixon's kitchen tour Tom and Lorenzo and their SJP adventure Plays Valentina in Boop on Broadway We love Dancer/Choreographer Rachelle Rak Coughing as Adelaide was tougher than talking and singing in character voice Bob Saget used his stand-up to differentiate himself from Danny Tanner  Nathan & Adelaide are famously the SOUBRETTES in Guys & Dolls so Jerry Zaks put them forward instead of Sky and Sarah (this changed how future productions positioned the 2 couples)  Jerry Mitchell says it's important to pass the baton down to the next generation of musical theatre stars Arthur Laurents aka “the meanest man in show-business”, Jerry Gutierrez, Abe Burrows, Comden & Green, Sondheim, Barishnykov, Howard Ashman, Jack Plotnick, Tina Landau,  My Father the Hero w/ Gerard Depardieu “Dirty Books” from The Last Dragon / Suzanne de Passe and Berry Gordy produced the soundtrack. Berry Gordy took her OUT and called her “baby” “One More Time” in First Wives Club “How do you know if someone has lived through trauma — by the way they get someone who doesn't like them, to like them.” Cole Escola of Oh, Mary! on CBS Sunday Morning Was in first 6 episodes of High Society with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell (based on AbFab and Faith played the Saffy character) Faith Prince's “Men” from Nick & Nora. The show was a notorious flop. Arthur told Faith she was making a big mistake by leaving show to do Guys & Dolls. Mary Rodgers told her she could find a way into Anna through Gertrude Lawrence, who was a comedienne.  Was offered the role of Audrey in the original Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors Went to CCM with Jim Walton Had taken the revue, Scrambled Feet and was doing an IBM industrial so couldn't' take LSOH Lance Roberts is currently in Just in Time Ellen Greene did Adelaide at The Hollywood Bowl  Studied Donna Murphy who she replaced in The King & I and then did Wonderful Town (at LA Opera) Katie Finneran talked with us about James Lapine's realistic interpretation of Annie and Miss Hannigan in the 2012 revival. Said it was a challenge in the NYT. Re the 2012 revival of Annie: Andrea McArdle said “I didn't know we were doing Secret Garden” Associate Director Wes Grantham LOVES HUMOR, unlike Lapine Martin Charnin & Charles Strouse KISSED HER FEET when they visited her backstage John Doyle who directed A Catered Affair also backs away from the humor We love Bells are Ringing - Faith starred in the 2001 Broadway revival. Difficult because of Mitchell Maxwell who produced Had to ride an actor in Grey's Anatomy because character's IUD got stuck on her ex-husband's Prince Albert penis piercing Does some great character work in the indie film Our Very Own (got gig from doing reading of The Women with Allison Janney) IMDB lists her on an ep of Mad Men. INCORRECT. Martin Short was in Dennis Quaid movie, Innerspace My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies was an incredible, formative concert Managing Ursula costume in The Little Mermaid was worse than managing the wig in her Lifetime movie with Kathleen Turner, Friends at Last Vicki Lewis told us she held Dixie Carter's spit cup in a production of Mame she was in with Faith Christopher Walken kept pickled things in the pockets of his costume during James Joyce's The Dead (Marni Nixon was also in the show) We interviewed Annaleigh Ashford who is maybe made  in the mold of Faith Prince Damian is seeing an Italian production of Cats / Anne is seeing her nephew do Grease Jr.  in Sicily DUCK ASS HAIR for Danny Zuko

Miriam gave us all the scoop on grounding the zaniness of Diana Trout on Darren Star's Younger, leading the indie comedy Magic Hour, and appearing in "brilliant but canceled" series like GCB and Swingtown. All that, plus Miriam talked to us about being one of John Cameron Mitchell's "players," appearing in Shortbus and, of course, originating the role of Yitzhak in the Hedwig universe; popping up in prestige Oscar films; her musical theatre roots; New York City history; and dying by way of a paintbrush in The Americans.

From fearlessly driving a scooter to charming the late Richard Roundtree, June opened up about her very first “lead role” and the difference in being number one on the callsheet. We also got the intel on her time as a replacement for Electra in the original (yes, original) Broadway production of Gypsy opposite Ethel Merman, returning to Broadway in a gender-reversed casting as Josie in Waitress, her rapport with director Alexander Payne (who she had to audition for AGAIN for role in Nebraska), and her upcoming lead role in Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut Eleanor the Great.

You're gonna love this dig into backstage lore and OG celesbian gossip as we explore the oeuvre of American theatre icon Eva Le Gallienne. Here to break it down with us is Barrie Kreinik, whose new audio drama, The Queen of Fourteenth Street, digs into Le G's robust stage credits, her dedication to creating an artistic institution of and for the people (the Civic Repertory Theatre), and her storied relationships with many an actor and socialite. We originally discovered Le Gallienne when interviewing Kate Burton, who appeared in Le G's ‘80s revival of Alice in Wonderland.

Veronica talked to us about her proper role in the queer canon byway of the Scissor Sisters, Jerry Herman, and StraightJacket; the trans retcon via James Cameron of Lambert in Alien; and her performance in the old Hollywood lesbian film The Children's House opposite Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine. And that's just the beginning! We also got to dig into her iconic roles on The X-Files as an abductee in one of the scariest arcs of all time, her rubber-faced scene-stealing scenes in The Witches of Eastwick,  working with Alfred Hitchock...multiple times, and her criminally underseen performance in Inserts. What a goddamn treat. And no, she wasn't in Speed.

You Might Know Her From Palm Royale; Designing Women; Newhart; Looking; Baby Talk; The Mommie; Intolerable Cruelty; and Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker.

She also gave us the scoop on playing Patrick's mom on Looking (and the importance of playing mom to a queer person), her iconic run on Newhart (7 Emmy nominations!), and her ‘90s run as “Julia Duffy, sitcom saver” including joining the powerhouse female ensemble of Designing Women. We also got to chat about Julia's book Bad Auditions, who was in those rooms with her, and what it was like playing a high school student at 30.

This month we're just wild about Siobhan Fallon Hogan. You Might Know Her From Men In Black, Forrest Gump, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, The House That Jack Built, Shelter in Solitude, Rushed, Holes, Seinfeld, and Saturday Night Live.  Siobhan gave us all the goods: from iconic dialect work in your favorite movies to her years-long collaborations with Lars von Trier. Siobhan spilled on doing bits while performing in Shakespeare in the Park, having fart competitions with Ben Gazzara on the set of Dogville, and getting horrifically killed by Matt Dillon in The House That Jack Built. We also got to talk about her turn as a screenwriter of two indie films: Rushed and Shelter in Solitude (both avail to stream now), and how her Catholic values inform all her work. A true delight from start to finish! Just feel better knowing that Lauren Bacall once asked, “Will we ever work again?” and know you are not alone! Love you mean it!  Also, please note we recorded this before we both texted each other “O.J. Simpson is dead!” so yeah, O.J. Simpson is dead and maybe we conjured it by talking about his acting and prison work.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Earthquake in NYC Anne loves disaster films: The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Airport The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, Daylight  Should we do a disaster movie watch on Patreon?

Judy, Judy, Judy! We're just mad about Judy Reyes. You Might Know Her From Birth/Rebirth, Claws, Scrubs, The Horror of Dolores Roach, Smile, Bringing out the Dead, One Day at a Time, and Devious Maids. We talk to Judy all about her Indie Spirit-nominated turn in the indie horror Birth/Rebirth which is a little Frankenstein, a little Thelma & Louise, a little Whatever Happened to Baby Jane–we highly recommend it! Judy takes us through the psychology of playing a grieving mother, acting opposite a child and a pig, and grounding the horror elements. Then, we dig deep into her oeuvre from playing Carla Espinosa for eight seasons on Scrubs to playing gay as Quiet Ann (no -e) in one of the best female ensembles on television on Claws. All that plus, coming in to elevate a horror flick like Smile, headlining the candy-coated Marc Cherry/Eva Longoria dark comedy Devious Maids, and forming a community with other Latina actors in this horrific (we hate but love it) industry.

Hello Therese, we're back for our annual holiday extravaganza. This year we're movie-clubbing Todd Haynes' very luscious and very gay Carol (2015), starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Sarah Paulson. We discuss the erotic imagery of merely a glove, lesbian sex scenes through the lens of a gay man, and the joy in watching flat male characters (what even IS Jake Lacy's character's name?). All that Carol talk for you plus our reactions to the Golden Globe nominations, our dream casting of Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone as Pearl Bailey and Carol Channing in a future film, and some Muppet talk. And then…we give you a solid ten minutes on our theory that gay men hate all gay male things while lesbians are much more accepting, our trip down memory lane to remember “lesbian kiss episodes” during November sweeps, the legacy of Roseanne, and Natalie Zea hunting down Kimberly Pierce for the Boys Don't Cry short she starred in!  Anyway, happy holidays!

The awful truth is SAG is still on strike but the bonus is that we are joined by artist and former celebrity gossip writer Ted Casablanca (Bruce Bibby) for an extra special episode of the show. Ted was a mainstay in celebrity journalism in the ‘90s and ‘00s working for Premiere and E!, most notably his programs, The Gossip Show and his column-turned show, The Awful Truth. We talk about EVERYTHING with Ted. From Valley of the Dolls to Mamma Mia, from the Oscars to Sharon Stone and her horse.

What if we had a Patreon? That's what we're exploring this week as we continue to stand in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. In lieu of a new actor interview we're book clubbing 1979's Norma Rae starring Sally Field, Beau Bridges, and Ron Leibman. Norma Rae is inspired by the real story of mill workers unionizing in rural North Carolina. We get into all the important parts: Ron Leibman being hot, Burt Reynolds advising Sally not to do the film, and the beautiful appearance of legendary character actress Grace Zabriskie in a small role. The film is a small quiet human story about the importance of labor unions and it felt like the right time to correct our blindspot and screen it. Also discussed this episode: the Debra Winger-Barbra Hershey led film A Dangerous Woman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Mandy Patinkin vs. Toni Collette. Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne A Dangerous Woman (1993) Mandy vs. Tony in the Wild Party Norma Rae (1979) Director: Martin Ritt Screenplay: Irving Ravetch & Harriet Frank Jr Best Song: “So It Goes” (David Shire, ex-husband of Talia Shire and current husband of Didi Conn) Sally Field's Oscar speech (1980)  Jane Fonda, Marsha Mason, Faye Dunaway and Jill Clayburgh turned down the role of Norma Rae Ron Leibman was Roy Cohn in the original Broadway cast of Angels in America Ron Leibman's first wife was Linda Lavin and his second wife was Jessica Walter Shirley MacLaine clip “A dancer died at the top of these stairs”  

We are back and still holding strong with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA, so no new actress interview, but we are joined by Emmy-winning actor and President of the Los Angeles Local branch of SAG-AFTRA, Jodi Long. You Might Know Her From Shang-Chi, Dash & Lily, All-American Girl, and season 4 of this podcast! Jodi breaks down the SAG strike and spells out what the union is fighting for, the threat to the working class, and what she'll treat herself to when this is all over. Fear not, we're still going deep on Kim Cattrall's :47 cameo on And Just Like That and the menace that is Michael Patrick King.

But Lisa Kudrow doesn't want to be a mogul like SJP Why are screen actors (SAG-AFTRA) and screen writers (WGA) striking?   AMPTP is the negotiating organization for the Hollywood studios Jodi Long was full-body scanned on Shang Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings. They own that image in perpetuity.  Reality shows are a different contract and not part of the current SAG-AFTRA  CEO salaries in 2022 for huge networks averaged $32M for 13 CEOas across 12 companies Actors have to make $26k+ in order to qualify for health insurance (only 12% of SAG-AFTRA actors make that every year) Hollywood studio CEOS are tonedeaf: Disney CEO Bob Iger / Warner Brothers CEO, David Zaslav AMPTP hired a new PR person to change the public narrative Movie studio A24 has agreed to all of SAG-AFTRA's terms, so they are currently in production while other studios are not Anne Hathaway,  Matthew McConaughey and others are working on waivers because their production companies have met SAG-AFTRA's demands SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher's call to arms We love pie: ALR-key lime, cherry, blueberry / DB-Banana cream, strawberry rhubarb, pumpkin Domino's song “Sweet Potato Pie”  Watch Norma Rae with us! 

Me and you, just us two. Yes, that's what Carrie had engraved in a vintage Rolex for Big but also, it's just us two because we stand with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. This month we are pulling the spirits of Celeste Holm, Bob Villa, and Steve Urkel from the annals of pop culture. We are also absolutely head over heels for the reignited rumors that Mel B and Geri of the Spice Girls possibly (and probably) carried on a lesbian relationship in the ‘90s. That, plus we take a look at Barbra Streisand's duets album, Fran Lebowitz's WNBA fandom, and start prepping for a Norma Rae screening!

We are back, just us, because we stand with SAG-AFTRA and the WGA. You Might Know Us From hosting this podcast, complaining and obsessing over And Just Like That, and our morbid curiosity about the new “senior” Bachelor.  In this episode we're breaking down our understanding of the strike and how we'll continue to pivot away from actor interviews until there is a fair agreement with the studios. We're also gossiping about Barbie, terrible reality TV tropes, the essence of beauty that is Jaida Essence Hall, and somehow relating And Just Like That back to… The Facts of Life. We really get a kick out of each other!

Debra gave us all the intel on working on late night sketch mainstay MadTV, including singing opposite herself, hitting Mariah Carey whistle tones, and rubbing elbows with Oscar winners. Obviously, we got into Debra's iconic impressions of Whitney Houston and Oprah Winfrey and the unfortunate story behind her departure after eight seasons.

We talk about her auditioning for book writer Arthur Laurents, rehearsing with fellow understudy Mary Louise Wilson, and bemoaning Robert Tucker's pissy attitude (I mean, Zan, Nan, Ian). Patricia also revealed to us how network executives lied to her in order for her to sign on for Home Improvement, hosting the Emmys with Ellen DeGeneres (“the worst day of her life”), and whether or not she turned down a role on The West Wing (C.J.? Abbey?) before recurring as Sheila Brooks. The juice is good in this one, hunnies.
