Summary

My guest in this episode started working right around the time most of us started school. Marie was just five years old when her acting work began supporting her entire family. But as she got older she noticed all the best parts were going to the boys, while the roles she was getting relied on her looks. Her dreams of continuing in acting were dashed when she realized what she was expected to do to get better parts.


Today she has a totally different career, but she’ll never forget what show business taught her - about professionalism, teamwork, and sexism.

Before we get into the show, I just want to acknowledge that I have been incredibly distracted by the

coronavirus. I imagine a lot of you have as well. This is such a scary, unsettling time for so many of us. I particularly hate being across the

ocean from my family in England while all this is going on. And I know from Facebook that

1:21.7

some of you feel like you're in a similar position, really anxious about loved ones who live far away.

1:29.3

And this whole situation, it's also really made me think about what I should do with the show right now,

But in the meantime, in this episode, I am bringing you a totally different story.
