Betty also teased the new Amanda Kramer sci-fi drama By Design, the Annie Get Your Gun rodeo pitch that never came to be, and all the Easter-egg voices she's provided from Tender Mercies to Hair.

You Might Know Her From Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza, Addams Family Values, Desperate Housewives, The 5 Mrs. Buchannons, Ratchet, The Agency: Central Intelligence, and the Broadway production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Harriet Harris gave us the skinny on being directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, acting opposite Daniel Day Lewis in Phantom Thread, and being pied in the face (at least twice) at the hands of Paul Rudnick. All that plus she walked us through all of Felicia Tillman's delicious Desperate Housewives plotlines, the "queerness" of The 5 Mrs. Buchannons, and her influence in alt rock from the Eve 6 episode of The X-Files.

Olga gave us all the good on her Tony-nominated turn in In the Heights and recreating Abuela Claudia 14 years later in Jon M. Chu's 2021 film adaptation. Plus, we got to hear what it was like to play ONLY the singing voice for a character in Encanto, working on a never-saw-the-light-of-day play with John Cassavetes, and originating the role of "Mexican Woman" in The Human Comedy where she gets one of the best musical sequences in the show: "I Let Him Kiss Me Once."

Top 5 Gay (But Not Gay) Movies...According to Us
Happy Pride, babies! We love you all from the bottom of our queer little hearts. For June's episode we are doing a "talking shet" kinda-manic-mind-meld-wormhole-brain-rot-mindgrapes-Grape-Lady episode where we are narrowing down OUR list of the top 5 gay (but not gay) movies, according to us (Anne and Damian, two geriatric millennials, so set your expectations on what kind of wild ride this is.) But FIRST, we have a few quick orders of business: We are taking a bit of a summer hiatus as it relates to actress interviews. We know, we know, we're already only feeding you once a month but trust that this hiatus is an exciting lead-up to a big announcement. In the interim, we will be on the You Might Know Her From-original recipe feed monthly giving you some "just us" b.s. and also maybe even a non-actress interview if some of our stars align. We'll also be chugging away here for YOU, the subscribers. We are still recapping And Just Like That, we are still working on our "everything is connected" musical theatre project (RENT, Gypsy, Sunset Boulevard), and also committed to what you want MORE of us from us. So feel free to shout out in the comments here what you'd like from us this summer. Truly, DO this, we are here because of YOUS so we want to make content you want from UZ. Thank you for sticking with us all these years. We are grateful for your grace as we cool down for the summer while gearing up for this BIG announcement. Now please enjoy over an hour of us screaming at each other and into the ether about movies that we declare GAY but NOT GAY. No Imagine Me & You, No Broken Hearts Club. But what about Thelma & Louise? You'll have to listen and sound off in the comments with what we forgot! Also, actress interviews from the past name-checked in this episode if you want to reacquaint yourselves: Kathleen Turner, re: Moonlight Lori Petty, re: A League of Their Own Wendy Makkena, re: Sister Act Kate Burton, re: The First Wives Club Elisa Donovan & Nicole Bilderback, re: Clueless Frances Fisher, re: Waiting for Guffman

Faith Prince
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.

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

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.

Judy Reyes
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. We love you.
