“The Child Star Club” is back in session! The gang is hanging out with Madeline Zima (a.k.a. Grace on “The Nanny”), whose Hollywood career started at the ripe old age of 28 months, and has never slowed down.
Madeline shares the story of auditioning for “The Nanny,” not realizing it was the show that starred “the lady with the voice,” and we hear which famous guest star instructed the cast to not look her in the eyes.
Madeline also had a role on "Twin Peaks” and may be the only podcast guest to have given David Lynch an influential directing note.
Plus, find out which host was Madeline’s childhood crush - on an all new Pod Meets World!

| 0:26.5 | Adler learned his first curse word. |
| 0:27.8 | Which was? |
| 0:29.3 | Ass. |
| 0:32.1 | That's barely a curse word. |

| 0:36.5 | That's probably where he heard it. |

| 1:04.2 | No. |
| 1:05.1 | He hasn't acknowledged. He went through a phase. |

And it was like, okay, dude. And then he exhausted himself. But it took a while. Right. It was like a good six months of just having to swear. And like, I finally was just like, you know, it's boring. Yeah. It's actually, like, a sign of a limited vocabulary.
