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).
