Lesley Ann Warren

The fact that we scored this guest is beyond our wildest dreams. Lesley Ann Warren is here this week. You Might Know Her From Clue; Cinderella; Victor/Victoria; Choose Me; Desperate Housewives; In Plain Sight; and Will & Grace. This chat with Lesley just gave us all the feels from talking about her iteration of Cinderella to replacing Carrie Fisher as Miss Scarlet in our favorite movie Clue, to the homework she did to make Norma Cassidy the icon that she is in Victor/Victoria. Our heads are still in the clouds!
