  • Kerry Washington
    Dec 20 2024
    Kerry Washington joins the show to talk about her role in Tyler Perry's new film, The Six Triple Eight, which tells the inspiring true story of the incredible women of the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War II. Washington portrays the unit's captain, Charity Adams. Washington talks about her first collaboration with Perry (on his 2010 film, For Colored Girls) and explains why The Six Triple Eight was the perfect opportunity to reunite, digs into the history behind the film, and explains how she was able to connect with Adam's character through the unexpected discovery of a collection of her personal belongings. She also discusses producing the documentary, Daughters, shares how she and her Scandal co-stars cultivated their gigantic fan base through live-tweeting, and speaks candidly about how growing up as an only child (and discovering that she was a donor conceived child later in life) contributed to who she is today.

  • Angelina Jolie
    Dec 13 2024
    Angelina Jolie joins the show to talk about playing the title role in Pablo Larraín's latest film, Maria. The film tells the tumultuous and beautiful story of the world’s greatest female opera singer, Maria Callas, re-lived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris. Jolie explains how she got involved with the film, dives into the intense preparation process (which required her to learn how to sing opera so her voice could be properly blended with Callas), and walks us through how the costume design process helped her find the private version of Maria that existed behind closed doors. She also shares her unique connection with the extras who played the audience during her La Scala opera scene, describes her relationship with co-stars Pierfrancesco Favino and Alba Rohrwacher (who play Maria's butler, Ferruccio and her housemaid, Bruna), and breaks down a few of the film's most challenging scenes.
