Chloe is a comedian, actor, and impressionist most well-known for her role as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, where she is starting her second season on the show. Her impressions include Drew Barrymore, Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep, Timothée Chalamet, Britney Spears and many others. You can find many of her impersonations, clips from SNL performances, and other great content on her Instagram feed, @ChloeIsCrazy.
Emma is an artist who does much of her painting is oil on canvas, but also works with other mediums such as charcoal and gold leaf. And, she’s done some photography and sculpting as well, including at the revered Porthmeor Studios in St. Ives. Her many exhibitions include Bloomberg New Contemporaries, the Federation of British Artists Futures show and two recent solo shows in London.
Leka, Chloe, & Emma are fortunate to have David Fineman as their father. David and I had a wide-ranging and interesting conversation. In this episode, he shares some terrific stories, parenting advice, and philosophies on a variety of topics, including some acting advice that Steve Martin gave to Chloe when she was a teenager, the importance of being a person of your own self-invention, and the Japanese concept of Ikigai.
