Today, we sit with actor Betty Gilpin! We talk about her role in the new Peacock series Mrs. Davis (7:35), her relationship to technology and social media (15:19), and growing up around actor parents (18:39). Then, we discuss her early years studying acting, under the legendary actor Dianne Wiest (21:39), and her path from college to off-Broadway theater (30:00).
In the back half, we talk about her rapid ascent in GLOW (36:22), the ‘seesaw of acting’ she experienced (39:04), and the weight of her work (41:38). To close, Betty honors the next generation of performers (44:06), reflects on writing All the Women in My Brain (47:24), and shares a formative passage from the book (52:24).
