Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to the 398th episode of Awards Chatter, the Hollywood

reporters awards podcast.

I'm the host Scott Feinberg and my guest today has been a first rate screen actors actor

for 20 years.

In big studio comedies like Adam McKay's step brothers and John Lucas and Scott Moore's

bad moms, in Arthouse Indies like Joey Soloway's Afternoon Delight and Tamara Jenkins'

private life, and on peak TV series like Soloway's Transparent and I Love Dick.

Nobody, least of all her, imagined that this would all lead her to of all places the Marvel

Cinematic Universe, but it did when she was cast as Wanda and Vision's nosy neighbor

Agnes, who turns out to be more than meets the eye, on the Disney Plus limited series

Wanda Vision, for which she has received some of the best reviews of her career and her

second Emmy nomination, this one in the category of Best Sporting Actress in a Limited

or Anthology series, four years after her first for Transparent.

I'm talking about Catherine Hahn.

Over the course of our conversation, the 48-year-old denied disgust how she got her first

professional gig at the age of 12, what it was like learning to improvise with the

frat pack, why she has cornered the market on parts of middle-aged women experiencing

sexual reawakening, what it was like playing for Marvel, the role that she was meant to

play all along, plus much more.

And so without further ado, let's go to that conversation.

Catherine, thank you so much for joining us on the podcast, great to have you.

And on this one, we really always begin right at the beginning, so if you wouldn't mind
