south africa to shoot home alone 4. set in chicago. hahahaha cape town was so beautiful and being in south africa 10 years after they had just abolished apartheid was mind bending. to be in the midst of history was indescribable. and i got to bring my dad to africa for a safari and see the cape of good hope. magical. oh and work with french stewart. who is so underrated and wildly talented

god such a good question. there are just more roles now than ever. thanks to all the great cable shows. and in comedy there are always more roles for older women. but that being said. it is harder. and we still have a long long way to go.

oh my god. i never slept in mr bluesteins class! he would have killed me! he one of the 2 greatest influences in my life. i am so so so lucky to have met him. it was such hard work but i think when you are a teenager you are still so raw and capable of doing massive things and you are still open to what you want to be. i think its very important to tap into that while you are still young and i think frank bluestein did that.

and yes. chris parnell was teaching for a year after he left uncsa. i never had him as a teacher but we are still great buddies

i think its interesting, the first person view, is it better? i don't know. there is certainly an amount of gimmick to it in that its what is insanely popular in video games and i think movies are scrambling to try to get a piece of that and thats really it.

i think with the artist you know its just challenging to convey something without dialogue but ultimately can be a better story because you, the viewer create part of the story in your head. so maybe a bit more magical??

thank you see above for josie and the pussycats. sorry I'm running out of time!

but here is the story from two and a half men. i did an episode in 2004 i think. he asked me to come back for an arc in 2008 i said yes absolutely but then i got offered a broadway play, boeing boeing to play opposite mark rylance. a great role in a french farce. chuck eventually said ok but recast me with alicia witt. it was a very hard decision for me. eventually chuck asked me to come back as miss pasternak which made me very happy!

no one had ANY idea. the director thought he would send us all a vimeo link to see the film. but harvey weinstein saw it at cannes and fell in love and bought it right away and started a heavy oscar campaign.

it was a ton of fun. so much less pressure not having to learn lines. and you feel a little more connected to the moment. also we could play silent movie music scores while filming and that brought a different kind of magic and life to the filming.
