Cherry, baby! We are here with two-time Tony-winner and three-time Emmy-winner Cherry Jones. You Might Know Her From The Handmaid's Tale, 24, Transparent, Succession, The West Wing, The Village, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, and her numerous theatre credits including The Heiress, Doubt, Mrs. Warren's Profession, and The Glass Menagerie. Cherry talked to us about playing the real life Eileen Myles on Transparent, grounding the violence on 24, whether or not she'll appear in the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, and she shares with us an actor's secret: her "moment before" from the Broadway production of Doubt. Plus, we got the scoop on going toe to toe with Brian Cox on Succession, whether or not she'd ever play Madame/Mama Rose in Gypsy, and trailblazing as a queer person in entertainment when she won her Tonys. This one was just a total treat!
