You Might Know Her From

We are just over the moon for this week’s guest, Anna Maria Horsford. You Might Know Her From Friday, Pose, The Wayans Brothers, The Bold & the Beautiful, Hacks, Minority Report, How High, St. Elmo's Fire, The Fan, The Last O.G. and Amen. Anna Maria just gave it all to us. We talked about her playing Ice Cube’s (and Method Man and Redman’s) mom in iconic stoner fare, talking shit about The Wayans Brothers before she realized she was a series regular, sinking her teeth into a daytime soap as Hollywood vet, and renegotiating her Amen contract amidst network pushback. But that’s not all! We also got into the landmark series Soul; her guest appearance on Pose opposite Janet Hubert and Jackée Harry; and how (why?) Steven Spielberg loves pregnant women. This one was just beyond. RIP to that extra in The Stone Pillow!

We were frightened, we also drink ze cognac. We are here with iconic actor and producer, Colleen Camp. You Might Know Her From Clue, American Hustle, Election, Police Academy 2 and 4, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Wayne’s World, Valley Girl, Sliver, Wicked Stepmother, Smile, They All Laughed, and Apocalypse Now. We got to grill Colleen about all things Clue including going up against Jennifer Jason Leigh, Madonna, and Demi Moore for the role of sexy maid Yvette. Colleen regaled us with stories of cutting her teeth in films like Apocalypse Now, adding “producer” to her list of talents, and how the tragic murder of Hollywood starlet Dorothy Stratten cast a cloud on one of her meatiest roles in Peter Bogdanovich’s They All Laughed. It was all of that, plus how her hair color changed the kinds of roles she went in for, working with Bette Davis on the legend’s final film, and how she would rewrite the ending of sexual thriller Sliver if she had her druthers. Do we think you’ll enjoy this romp of an interview? Oui oui

And just like that 2021 is nearly over. Warning that this episode contains spoilers for the first two episodes of the Sex and the City revival And Just Like That. We are breaking it all down: our feelings on the way they explained Samantha’s (and Kim Cattrall’s) absence, the shoehorning of topical issues into the SATC universe, and that big twist that Big is dead. We are both entertained and embarrassed. What do y’all think? Let us know and have a happy and healthy holiday. Stay safe, baybees and we’ll see you back here with actress interviews Jan 6, 2022!

We are just filled with love on this one. Today Constance Marie joins us on the mic. You Might Know Her From Selena, George Lopez, Undone, My Family/Mi Familia, American Family, Switched at Birth, Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders, Puss in Boots, and the new Amazon series With Love. We just had a ball with Constance talking about her charming new series With Love, which features a predominantly Latinx cast and queer storylines. Plus we get into her beginnings as a break dancer on tour with David Bowie (and in films like Breakin’ 2), and donning the now iconic wig to play Marcella Quintanilla in the Selena biopic...despite being Jennifer Lopez’s peer. We also got to talk about being part of landmark projects for Latinx folks, learning American Sign Language for her role in Switched at Birth, and being animated in Undone. This one was a total delight. Be careful spinning on your heads on cardboard, babes!  Follow us on social media @damianbellino || @rodemanne  Discussed this week:  The Gossip G

Welcome back! This week’s episode features Nicole Bilderback. You Might Know Her From Bring It On, Clueless, Can’t Hardly Wait, Mercenaries, Brooklyn 99, and Cruel Summer. Nicole (or Nikki, as she asked us to call her because, frenz) really gave us the scoop on being one of the few adults on the set of Freeform’s thriller Cruel Summer, cutting her teeth in the biz on some of the most beloved teen films of the ‘90s and early ‘00s, and getting to blow things up and fly jets on the set of a big action movie opposite a bunch of other bad ass women. All that plus, did Ryan Murphy steal from Bring It On for Santana and Brittany on Glee? Did Janet Leigh use a body double for her final film, Bad Girls from Valley High? Was Michelle Visage in Starlight Express on Broadway? The answers to these questions await you, wee ones.  Follow us on social media @damianbellino || @rodemanne  Discussed this week:  Michelle Visage and Leah Remini guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show Michelle Visage’s love letter to Leah Remini Mic

We are joined this week by actress and author Elisa Donovan. You Might Know Her From Clueless, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, A Night at the Roxbury, The Dog Who Saved Christmas films, and her memoir, Wake Me When You Leave: Love and Encouragement via Dreams from the Other Side. We had a total ball with Elisa chatting about her beginnings on the sets of both the Clueless film and TV show, joining Sabrina right as they approached 100 episodes, and trying not to break while dancing alongside Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan. We also got to discuss her new book, a really honest portrayal of grief, family, and picking up the pieces. All that plus Judging Amy, 90210, and Matthew Lawrence talk. This one was anything but whatever. Follow us on social media @damianbellino || @rodemanne  Discussed this week: Annie Live!

Happy Cornucopia Day to yous! In honor of this troubled holiday falling on a Thursday we are releasing a special (just us) episode on a Tuesday. This week we are really running the gamut, serving our deranged mindgrapes on a platter for you: JoJo Siwa’s coming into her sexuality on Dancing with the Stars, Natalie Wood’s sister Lana all but confirming Anne’s belief that Kirk Douglas raped a young Natalie, and a deep dive on one of our go-to warm-blanket films, Clueless. We breakdown director Amy Heckerling’s 1995 comedy classic: from Amy’s IRL dalliances, the tragic loss of Brittany Murphy, Twink Caplan making bank from her AP credit (we allege!), and Julie Brown repping for the queers. Plus, we top this totally chaotic episode off with a little clip from our sitdown with The Facts of Life star Mindy Cohn talking about that infamous first season and all the “lost girls” that were fired before they had a chance at season 2! We hope you enjoy!  We love Templeton from Charlotte’s Web (“Smorgasbord” sang by Paul L

You Might Know Her From Love, Victor; Ugly Betty; Hung; Kristin, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son; and Devious Maids. Ana had us in stitches talking about her connection to the LGBTQ community, mastering Marisol’s voice for Devious Maids, choosing Kristin Chenoweth over Mariah Carey, dream musical theatre roles, and the authenticity she brought to the Dr. Quinn universe. All that plus Housewives, Drag Race, Smash, and poppers. Sheesh. This one, as Anne would say, is a total barn burner. Enjoy, mon amis!

You Might Know Her From her performances in Russian Doll, Ben is Back, An Octoroon, In the Blood, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and her original plays School Girls; Or The African Mean Girls Play and Nollywood Dreams. We talked to Jocelyn about being a true multi-hyphenate and the toast of the New York theatre scene, mining her time from boarding school in her smash hit play School Girls, how she compartmentalizes her writer brain when she’s acting in other folks’ projects, and how the world of film and TV writing is different than the theatre scene. All that, plus we dig into her acting opposite a moviestar like Julia Roberts, her love of reality TV (and Tiffany Pollard), and how her play Nollywood Dreams is finally having its New York debut!  Follow us on social media @damianbellino || @rodemanne  || @jjbioh Discussed this week: Sc5eam trailer (the 5 is actually the R, not the C as Anne said) Horror films mentioned in Scre

You Might Know Her From The Big Chill, Kramer vs. Kramer, American Dreamer, Wyatt Earp, Frasier, Stir Crazy, Jungle 2 Jungle, Dexter, Poltergeist, and Poltergeist II: The Other Side. We talked to JoBeth about the Poltergeist films with shocking reveals about the props, Zelda Rubinstein, and the grueling stunts that left her bloody. We also dug into her theatre beginnings with Raúl Juliá at Williamstown, her nude scene in her film debut, Kramer vs. Kramer, stealing from Little Edie in Me, Myself, and I, headlining the ‘80s rom-com American Dreamer on location in Paris, and the incestuous dating history of The Big Chill cast.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood because we are joined by Tony-winner Celia Keenan-Bolger. You Might Know Her From Diane and Broadway productions of To Kill a Mockingbird, The Glass Menagerie, Peter and the Starcatcher, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Celia opened up to us about the complicated feelings around rejoining the Broadway production of To Kill a Mockingbird post-COVID lockdown and the murder of George Floyd. We also dug into her performance in one of our favorite movies of the last few years, Diane, how it feels to be an adult who continues to make a career playing younger folk, and whether she really originated the Toaster in the Brave Little Toaster musical. Celia was a total dreamboat.

Abby gave us all her secrets from the set from playing a version of yourself to casting folks as your imaginary family to why almonds are the worst nut, and whether or not she ever watched our “all time favorite show” The L Word.

We also talked to Dinah about her own showbiz upbringing with actress mother Lee Grant and writer dad Arthur Manoff; the good, bad, and annoying of appearing on a network sitcom for seven years, winning a Tony for her Broadway debut in Neil Simon’s I Ought to Be in Pictures, and appearing in our all time favorite movie Grease as Marty.
