Talia Balsam You Might Know Her From
-
- Comedy
This week Damian and Anne are joined by actress Talia Balsam. You Might Know Her From Divorce, Mad Men, No Strings Attached, In the Mood, and Homeland. Talia talks about growing up in a showbiz family with her actor parents, Martin Balsam and Joyce Van Patten, as well as her 20+ year marriage to her Mad Men co-star, John Slattery (and before that, George Clooney). Balsam fills us in on her guilty pleasure TV proclivities, Didi Conn tidbits, and fun facts about her cousin-in-law and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Eileen Davidson. Also, Damian gets a special delivery from Stitch Fix that is both deeply mortifying and wildly spiritual.
