Brooke Smith | Strong Female Leads

Brooke Smith (Big Sky, The Silence of the Lambs, Grey's Anatomy) becomes my favorite character in every project she joins, and this episode felt like a breezy chat with a close friend. Brooke answered my questions about the satisfaction of bringing a character like Merilee to life on Big Sky, her relationship with Darla the dog aka Precious, and I called dibs on hiring her as a therapist should she ever change career paths.

Mara Wilson | Strong Female Leads

Mara Wilson (Matilda, BoJack Horseman) truly feels like a best friend when chatting with her, and can talk about anything with ease and humor. We cover psychological studies, attractive 90s looks, and very specific movie genres in addition to discussing her acting career, her book (which I love) Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, and how she curates such a perfect Twitter feed.

Marguerite Moreau | Strong Female Leads

Marguerite Moreau (The Mighty Ducks, Wet Hot American Summer, The Birch) gets into all the lives she's been able to live on-screen, from hockey player to camp counselor to Manson girl. Plus, she has a perfect answer for her gender-swapped casting dream role and we discuss some of our favorite local record stores - basically a dream come true.

Kristanna Loken | Strong Female Leads

Kristanna Loken (Terminator 3, Painkiller Jane, Body of Deceit) joined me on the very first episode of Strong Female Leads. She is not only a phenomenal actress, but a truly delightful person. We discussed the hidden whimsy of thrillers, her T3 mime skills, and not taking yourself too seriously.
