You Might Know Her From
Anne Rodeman & Damian Bellino·Hosted by Anne Rodeman and Damian Bellino·196 episodes
You Might Know Her From is an interview podcast and living piece of art. Hosted by comedians and best friends, Damian Bellino and Anne Rodeman, the show centers the stories of women and non-cis figures in entertainment. Bridging anthropology and comedy, this project seeks to preserve these (often never before heard) stories with irreverence and panache.
Why listen
You Might Know Her From is for listeners who love character actors, Broadway legends, cult TV, queer pop culture, and the stories that rarely make it into standard celebrity interviews. Anne Rodeman and Damian Bellino bring a sharp, funny best-friend dynamic to conversations with women and non-cis performers, mixing career excavation, theater lore, Hollywood gossip, and deep-cut fandom. It is especially rewarding if you are the kind of person who recognizes a guest's face before you know their name.

Here's a little sneak peek into this week's Patreon episode. If you want to hear the rest of the ep, head on over to www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Kids, we're back with even more thoughts, feelings, and musing on Liza Minnelli's epic autobiography Kids, Wait 'Til You This. Anne is keeping us on track with a laundry list of must-talk-about items while Damian derails the whole thing screaming about David Gest. There's so much to unpack in the latter half of KWTYHT: David Gest (loser!), Kathleen Turner, Princess Di, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Ernest Borgnine, Elizabeth Taylor, Smash!!!, hotdogs, cigarettes in non-smoking homes, and being a "big fan" of Lady Gaga. Did you finish? Please oh please sound off in the comments or our DMs. We could go on for another 50 minutes, easy. Love ewes.
We shoot the shet and tackle the hot topics of the day, including John Travolta and his traveling berets at Cannes, the nature of sweetening celeb voices in musicals, and the Survivor 50 finale. Look folks, every once in a while we get deep over here on the Patreon and this was one of 'em. A simple conversation about toilet paper and bidets gives way to talk of ethical consumerism and mutual aid. Are you with us? We hope so, we love you, mean it!
It's Marsha Mason. You Might Know Her From The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two, The Middle, Grace & Frankie, Drop Dead Fred, Heartbreak Ridge, Frasier, Only When I Laugh, Cinderella Liberty, and Judy Garland: Me & My Shadows. Marsha is a prolific stage and screen actor, a 4-time Oscar-nominee, an organic herb farmer, a race car driver, and a theatre director who gave us all the scoop on jumping in as a last-minute understudy for The Roommate starring Patti LuPone and Mia Farrow on Broadway. We talk about her artistic (and personal) partnership with her ex-husband Neil Simon, the original Goodbye Girl directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robert Deniro that never was (Bogart Slept Here), and what it was like seeing Kathleen Turner "play her" in her stepdaughter, Ellen Simon's film Moonlight and Valentino. All that plus, the cult status of Drop Dead Fred, her failed sitcom Sibs, and the Ethel Gumm of it all. This one was such an incredible full-circle moment for us and a great way to close out this half of the season but we'll be back real soon! Love yous, mean it.

You Might Know Her From Grey's Anatomy, Supergirl, Not Another Teen Movie, and The Way Home. Chyler Leigh gave us all the goods on her time on Grey's Anatomy: working with the late great Eric Dane, THAT musical episode, the scuttlebutt around Ellen Pompeo leaving, and shooting a cameo during COVID. We also get into Supergirl and how Alex Danvers coming out helped spark her own coming out as bisexual. All that plus, working with the time-traveling pond in Hallmark's The Way Home, accessing deep emotion at the turn of a dime, and having to jump in a hot tub with Marilyn Manson. Seriously.

Folks, it's a part one because we can't stop talking. We are finally digging into Liza Minnelli's autobiography Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! There is just so much: obviously Judy Garland (and Liza's surprising frankness about their relationship), Vincente Minnelli, Lorna, Joe, Kay Thompson, Peter Allen, Peter Sellers, Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz Jr., Halston, Kander and Ebb, Bob Fosse, Chita, Gwen VerDON (a little), and wow, what else? So much. And this is only like the first--halfish? Buckle up, because we are in-real-time processing this incredible work (with the caveat that it is read by a Liza-bot). We hope you've listened and/or read and are ready to deep dive with us, too. What did you think?

Folks! The Tony nominations are here and we have thoughts! We are breaking down this years noms, the snubs that we didn't see coming, we're sharing what we LOVED, what we haven't seen (but want to!), and what (and who) we're rooting for! We are so happy for our girl June Squibb (and former guest of YMKHF) and also for Hannah Cruz (an actor we have long been rooting for from her performance as Rose in her high school production of Gypsy.

Keiko gave us all the scoop on playing Lane on Gilmore Girls, how she REALLY felt about where her character ended up, and if she thinks there's more story to tell in Stars Hollow. Plus, improvising with Mo'Nique and Taraji, shadowing Frances McDormand as she finessed Michael Bay, and transitioning to authority figure roles when you're so iconically a "teen" on screen.

Happy Pride, babies! We love you all from the bottom of our queer little hearts. For June's episode we are doing a "talking shet" kinda-manic-mind-meld-wormhole-brain-rot-mindgrapes-Grape-Lady episode where we are narrowing down OUR list of the top 5 gay (but not gay) movies, according to us (Anne and Damian, two geriatric millennials, so set your expectations on what kind of wild ride this is.) But FIRST, we have a few quick orders of business: We are taking a bit of a summer hiatus as it relates to actress interviews. We know, we know, we're already only feeding you once a month but trust that this hiatus is an exciting lead-up to a big announcement. In the interim, we will be on the You Might Know Her From-original recipe feed monthly giving you some "just us" b.s. and also maybe even a non-actress interview if some of our stars align. We'll also be chugging away here for YOU, the subscribers. We are still recapping And Just Like That, we are still working on our "everything is connected" musical theatre project (RENT, Gypsy, Sunset Boulevard), and also committed to what you want MORE of us from us. So feel free to shout out in the comments here what you'd like from us this summer. Truly, DO this, we are here because of YOUS so we want to make content you want from UZ. Thank you for sticking with us all these years. We are grateful for your grace as we cool down for the summer while gearing up for this BIG announcement. Now please enjoy over an hour of us screaming at each other and into the ether about movies that we declare GAY but NOT GAY. No Imagine Me & You, No Broken Hearts Club. But what about Thelma & Louise? You'll have to listen and sound off in the comments with what we forgot!

Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero. Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously "realistic" production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell in the short-lived High Society.

All that, plus Miriam talked to us about being one of John Cameron Mitchell's "players," appearing in Shortbus and, of course, originating the role of Yitzhak in the Hedwig universe; popping up in prestige Oscar films; her musical theatre roots; New York City history; and dying by way of a paintbrush in The Americans.

You Might Know Her From Thelma, Nebraska, About Schmidt, The Humans, Hubie Halloween, In & Out, Girls, Inside Out 2, and Broadway productions of Gypsy and Waitress. We were delighted to talk to 95-year-old June about her role in the action-dramedy Thelma for which she absolutely deserves an Oscar nomination. From fearlessly driving a scooter to charming the late Richard Roundtree, June opened up about her very first "lead role" and the difference in being number one on the callsheet. We also got the intel on her time as a replacement for Electra in the original (yes, original) Broadway production of Gypsy opposite Ethel Merman, returning to Broadway in a gender-reversed casting as Josie in Waitress, her rapport with director Alexander Payne (who she had to audition for AGAIN for role in Nebraska), and her upcoming lead role in Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut Eleanor the Great.

We talked to Roslyn about signing to RCA Records as just a 17-year-old girl, lampooning her famous sister Barbra Streisand in an iconic episode of The Nanny, and her latest projects that retells two of her signature songs into a short film. Roslyn also gave us the goods on blood harmony with her mother and Babs, her British invasion influences, the challenge of making "People" hers in her Broadway debut, and set the record on her theatrical credits because you know You Might Know Her is always going to dig some old shet up.

Hello Therese, we're back for our annual holiday extravaganza. This year we're movie-clubbing Todd Haynes' very luscious and very gay Carol (2015), starring Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, and Sarah Paulson. We discuss the erotic imagery of merely a glove, lesbian sex scenes through the lens of a gay man, and the joy in watching flat male characters (what even IS Jake Lacy's character's name?). All that Carol talk for you plus our reactions to the Golden Globe nominations, our dream casting of Da'Vine Joy Randolph and Emma Stone as Pearl Bailey and Carol Channing in a future film, and some Muppet talk. And then…we give you a solid ten minutes on our theory that gay men hate all gay male things while lesbians are much more accepting, our trip down memory lane to remember "lesbian kiss episodes" during November sweeps, the legacy of Roseanne, and Natalie Zea hunting down Kimberly Pierce for the Boys Don't Cry short she starred in!

Then, we dig into your questions and we get into it all from the Mount Rushmore of past guests to the love triangle between Ashlyn Harris, Ali Krieger, and Sophia Bush to our educated guess on the vibe of the Desperate Housewives set from all the "research" we've conducted. This was just a total pleasure so we hope you'll sit your sassy and strong-willed selves down and listen with us! Next episode we're back with an actress!
