Actress Adjacent with Jeff Hiller

Special summer episode with actress-adjacent darling and new author AND Emmy-nominee Jeff Hiller. Yes, Jeff is only the second self-identified man on the show but it’s important! Anne and Damian talk to friend of the pod, Jeff Hiller about his new memoir Actress of a Certain Age, his star-making turn as Joel on HBO’s Somebody Somewhere, and his love of celebrity autobiographies and great ladies of the theatre. We just LOVE, Jeff, and we know you will too!
