Today we have a really special conversation with an actress who has defied what we're often told is possible in a Hollywood career. She started on stage with the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, but didn't make it to Los Angeles till she was nearly 40. She is an example of what can happen when an artist decides to be the exception, embrace fear, and relinquish over-thinking.

We also get to chat about failure, how it is a vital part of success as an actor, and how she's been able to take professional and personal challenges, and turn them into opportunities to tell stories with some of Hollywood's most innovative artists.

She's developed an incredible body of work that includes working with the Cohen Brothers, booking NINE (count them!) NINE guest stars in one year, and most notably her role on Amazon's Transparent.
