Ep. 204

"Killing Me Softly"

On this week's LadyWatch agenda: Ryan and Jason touch briefly on the spotty legacy of former First Lady Barbara Bush, express surprise at Bette Midler tapping out Bernadette Peters for the closing of "Hello Dolly" on Broadway (and why this is good news for Betty Buckley), and ponder whether are union jobs to be had as part of Gabrielle Carteris' call for an end to Hollywood meetings in hotel rooms. PLUS: Tina Knowles had concerns about Beychella, Tina Turner's high standards for her new bio musical in the West End, Tyne Daly joins the "Murphy Brown" reboot, Michelle Pfeiffer is caught in an awkward panel question about her weight in the 80s, Jane Goodall is immortalized in bronze holding a palm nut, why Frances Conroy prefers ratty roles over the mousey ones, cruise news featuring Lainie Kazan in a spinning chair and a country music festival on the S.S. Gay Bash, and MUCH MUCH MORE!
