Bev and I were texting last week and decided it’s time to record a new talk, especially since she’s been up to a lot since we first recorded this talk in 2019. But we’re having some trouble coordinating our schedules, so I’m running this one now because it’s a fun one with juicy stories and it’s entirely possible we won’t get that new one on the books anytime soon. And since Bev’s ex, Al Pacino, who’s also the father of her twins, has a new...

Twist! I reached into my archives for this, friends. Back in the day, I interviewed these three iconic women: Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Men) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glee, Pushing Daisies).
