Beth played Helen in “Speed” and shares what it was like to act alongside Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock in a runaway bus on the 105 freeway. Beth shares how much the script changed since her audition and how making a mistake during a take was a huge ordeal, like 300 cars having to all turn around ordeal. We learn firsthand what it was like to work on “Speed” and of course, the ladies and Beth reminisce on Beth playing Dwight’s babysitter in “Dinner Party”.
