Annie Golden

from You Might Know Her From · host Damian Bellino & Anne Rodeman

You Might Know Her From Orange Is The New Black, Hair, Cheers, Desperately Seeking Susan, Baby Boom, The Pebble & The Penguin, and Broadway productions of Assassins, Violet, Leader of the Pack, and Into the Woods. We get into so much Broadway and punk rock history of New York legend, Annie Golden. From playing the "flower girl who will not wilt" in Hair, to Norma, the almost-mute, on Orange is the New Black, to singing with Darlene Love, singing AS Squeaky Fromme, and singing as a tree-mama in Into the Woods. She is a hoot and a beacon of light in these dark times. Get into it!
