Betsy Aidem has been in over 80 plays, off Broadway, on Broadway, and around the world. Recent titles of note: “All The Way,” where she played Lady Bird Johnson, “Mama’s Boy,” where she played Lee Harvey Oswald’s mother, Tom Stoppard’s “Leopoldstadt,” and “Prayer For The French Republic,” for which she is nominated for her first Tony Award. On this gold-filled episode, she talks about her love of extensive research, why she doesn’t think the people she plays are just one person, the “golden moment when your character is unsure,” the importance of a director’s patience and willingness to let her swerve off course, and why she believes the prize is always in the work, plus much much more!
