It's the last episode of Season 3! Can you believe?! What an honor to end it by interviewing one of the most brilliant and unique individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

According to his professional bio, Adrian Dannatt is an actor, editor, curator, writer, artist and obituarist. I'd rather just call him a Bon Vivant: a collector of experiences, art, and people. He's also perhaps the only person on the planet less afraid of "stranger danger” than me. I met Adrian after stumbling into a showing of his personal art collection at a gallery on the Lower East Side. He was this fascinating mix of dapper and disheveled, extremely English, and had zero qualms about marching up to me, nitpicking my outfit, and immediately testing the bounds of my sense of humor. An unconventional friendship was born.

The banter continued 2 years later in my podcast studio, where we bonded over - amongst many subjects - our mutual failures (as a wannabe actress who’s a podcaster and a former child actor who’s now only locally famous), lack of ambition, and obsession with “young, strange deadbeats who are attractive and brilliant”. We also have a wild multi-generational dialogue about fame and overexposure, social media, sleeping with famous people, death, "bussies," aging, how to be an interesting person, and why I should think of my podcast as the “crappy B movie” on the path to more long-term success.

Buy Adrian's book "Doomed and Famous." It's really good. https://www.sequencepress.com/products/doomed-and-famous
