Joanna Gleason

We are back after a few weeks of r&r with Tony winner Joanna Gleason. The brilliant actor and singer invited Anne and Damian to the Connecticut farm she shares with her Oscar nominated hubby, Chris Sarandon where we noshed on panzanella salad and on Joanna's meaty oeuvre. You Might Know Her From Into The Woods, I Love My Wife, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Wedding Planner, Boogie Nights, Friends, Hannah and Her Sisters, Bette, Nick & Nora, The West Wing, and her cabaret show Out of the Eclipse. Joanna opens up about working with Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents, loathing LA and finding her own path on the East Coast, and her foray into directing. Happy Pride, chicken tikkas!
