We are just pleased as punch to be with the great Heather Matarazzo. You Might Know Her From The Princess Diaries 1 & 2, Saved!, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Scream 3, Hostel: Part II, The Devil’s Advocate, Roseanne, and The L Word. Heather so graciously talked to us about the motives behind Stacy Merkin’s terrible review of “Lez Girls” on The L Word, working with the late Garry Marshall in a big Disney production opposite her real life idol Julie Andrews, navigating Hollywood (and avoiding being typecast) after her breakthrough performance as Dawn Wiener in Welcome to the Dollhouse, getting a job from Roseanne Barr as a young person, and her experiences coming out as a lesbian to Ellen DeGeneres on the set of a Sheryl Crow music video. This one is chock-full of brilliant and hilarious behind the scenes scoop and vulnerable and honest answers from an actress with an incredible body of work.
