info_outlineIt's Marsha Mason. You Might Know Her From The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two, The Middle, Grace & Frankie, Drop Dead Fred, Heartbreak Ridge, Frasier, Only When I Laugh, Cinderella Liberty, and Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows.
Marsha is a prolific stage and screen actor, a 4-time Oscar-nominee, an organic herb farmer, a race car driver, and a theatre director who gave us all the scoop on jumping in as a last-minute understudy for The Roommate starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow on Broadway. We talk about her artistic (and personal) partnership with her ex-husband Neil Simon, the original Goodbye Girl directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robert Deniro that never was (Bogart Slept Here), and what it was like seeing Kathleen Turner "play her" in her stepdaughter, Ellen Simon's film Moonlight and Valentino. All that plus, the cult status of Drop Dead Fred, her failed sitcom Sibs, and the Ethel Gumm of it all. This one was such an incredible full-circle moment for us and a great way to close out this half of the season but we'll be back real soon! Love yous, mean it.
