    You Might Know Her From Carrie, Split, The Happening, Frantic, Oz, Eight is Enough, Tender Mercies, Wyatt Earp, Eternity, and theatrical productions of CATS, Sunset Boulevard, Gypsy, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, and 1776. We talk to Tony-winner Betty Buckley about her upcoming residence at Joe's Pub April 24-26 2026. Betty also teased the new Amanda Kramer sci-fi drama By Design, the Annie Get Your Gun rodeo pitch that never came to be, and all the Easter-egg voices she's provided from Tender Mercies to Hair. Betty also gave us all the epic juice from starring in Brian De Palma's Carrie and then going on to originate it in the notorious Broadway musical adaptation. Oh baby, that's just the tip of the iceberg! Go see Betty at Joe's Pub if you're nearby!

    You Might Know Her From Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza, Addams Family Values,  Desperate Housewives, The 5 Mrs. Buchannons, Ratchet, The Agency: Central Intelligence, and the Broadway production of Thoroughly Modern Millie.

All that plus she walked us through all of Felicia Tillman's delicious Desperate Housewives plotlines, the "queerness" of The 5 Mrs. Buchannons, and her influence in alt rock from the Eve 6 episode of The X-Files.

Olga gave us all the good on her Tony-nominated turn in In the Heights and recreating Abuela Claudia 14 years later in Jon M. Chu's 2021 film adaptation. Plus, we got to hear what it was like to play ONLY the singing voice for a character in Encanto, working on a never-saw-the-light-of-day play with John Cassavetes, and originating the role of "Mexican Woman" in The Human Comedy where she gets one of the best musical sequences in the show: "I Let Him Kiss Me Once."
