Summary

Jackie Tohn steps Behind The Rope. Best known for her breakout performance as Melanie “Melrose” Rosen on Netflix’s award winning, critically acclaimed masterpiece “Glow”, Jackie stops by to share it all.  Early in her career Jackie appeared on many of our favorite shows such as “The Sopranos”, “Veronica Mars”, “Strangers With Candy”, not the least of which was “The Nanny”, in which she played a young Fran Drescher. She talks famous friends such as Kristen Bell and Jessica Biel, comedic inspiration Joan Rivers and appearing on the iconic Howard Stern Show. Jackie also chats about her singing abilities, those abilities which led her to the semi finals on “American Idol” and Bravo’s very own “Platinum Hit” (Kara DioGuardi, we see you!). Jackie shares stories from behind the scenes on Glow, chats about the disappointment when Season 4 was indefinitely shelved due to lockdown and hints at what the future holds for the un-filmed season and possible Glow movie (what a wish!).  We figured today the perfect day to share this blast from the past chat with the one and only Jackie Tohn. @jackietohn @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope  BROUGHT TO YOU BY: AIRDOCTOR - airdoctorpro.com (Use Code VELVET To Save Up To $300 Off Air Purifiers and a 3 Year Warranty On Any Unit, Which Is An Additional $84)  TROPICAL SMOOTHIE CAFE (Kick off your summer on May 29th for National Flip Flop Day® with a FREE 12 oz.
