Summary

Kelly Rutherford steps Behind The Rope. Yes, Kelly Rutherford. Kelly is here to chat about her epic career that has led to parts in two of the most iconic shows in TV history, Melrose Place and Gossip Girl. Kelly chats about playing Megan Lewis in Melrose Place - how she was cast, fav / least fav storylines, behind the scenes stories, working with Lisa Rinna, Heather Locklear, Alyssa Milano, Marcia Cross, and Darren Star, to name a few. Kelly also chats about playing Lily van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl - the hype surrounding GG which made household names out of all its stars, the epic love story of Lily and Rufus, the mystery surrounding Gossip Girl’s identity, UES NYC, working with Blake Lively, set visits by Ryan Reynolds, and guest appearances by one Tinsley Mortimer as well as Cyndi Lauper. Speaking of Real Housewives, we discuss RHOBH with Kelly - her former Melrose co-star Lisa Rinna’s transformation from playing Taylor McBride to, well, playing Lisa Rinna as well as if she would ever join RHONY as we hear they are casting. Thank you Kelly for your time and graciousness in taking a trip down memory lane regarding two of the most brilliant TV shows to ever exist! @kellyrutherford @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef BONUS & AD FREE EPISODES Available at - www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought To You By: RESET - www.reset.com/velvet (Reset's science-based plan only requires two strict Reset Days each week - the other five days, you have the freedom to eat without rules or restrictions!)
