We are saddled up with the great Linda Emond. You Might Know Her From The Gilded Age, Lodge 49, Julie & Julia, Succession, North Country, Jenny’s Wedding, and the Broadway productions of Cabaret, Life x 3, and Death of a Salesman. Linda talked to us about her collaborating with iconic visionaries like Tony Kushner and Mike Nichols, doing double duty as Clara Barton on The Gilded Age while also recording voiceover for her role on Succession, and feeling the support from the fervent fanbase of Lodge 49. All that plus her years-long tenure as a lesbian on various Law & Order shows, the infamous “white dog” on the North Country set, and the absence or presence of actual sexual chemistry between the female leads of Jenny’s Wedding. This one was just mm mm good. Enjoy!
