Summary
Actor Busy Philipps has been in Hollywood since she was 19. But it wasn't until she gave up on giving in to the industry and its sexism that her big breakout moment arrived. This episode, Busy spills what it was like breaking into the industry during the ultra-low-rise jeans era, why she started naming names, and why trying her best is good enough.
