Really Famous with Kara Mayer Robinson

This is my classic talk with Beverly D’Angelo.

Bev and I were texting last week and decided it’s time to record a new talk, especially since she’s been up to a lot since we first recorded this talk in 2019. But we’re having some trouble coordinating our schedules, so I’m running this one now because it’s a fu...

The Matlock reboot is huge! Are you watching? I've been trying to have Matlock actor Jason Ritter (also known for Parenthood, Gravity Falls, Joan of Arcadia, etc) back on Really Famous after this excellent talk from 2019 but we just haven't worked it out yet, so I thought, let's enjoy this one that we already have on the books!

You'll hear us talk about:

• Parenthood - why he loved it, which scenes made him cry (as a viewer!)
• Pe...

Twist! I reached into my archives for this, friends. Back in the day, I interviewed these three iconic women: Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Men) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glee, Pushing Daisies). These were VERY DIFFERENT interviews from my podcast talks because (a) back then, I was primarily a writer and a therapist, (b) I was only beginning to develop my interviewing style, (c) they w...

When Tim Daly and I sit down at his kitchen table for our 6th Really Famous talk, we get philosophical - and Tim says some things he probably shouldn't (his words, not mine!). Of course we talk Madam Secretary, Wings, how handsome Tim is, his status with co-star and life partner Téa Leoni, etc. But we also get into deep (and shallow) thoughts, about aging, fear, death, intimacy and more.

You'll feel like you're right there with us,...

Alan Cumming has an FAQ page on his website. That's because he's been interviewed so many times and he's done with the same old questions. That's actually perfect for me because I can't stand same old questions.

But!

He has done so many things (mastered theater, won a Tony, starred in hit TV series like The Good Wife -- he played Eli Gold -- and Instinct, starred in everything from Doctor Who to Sex and the City and Spy Kids, co-ho...
