Jillian Armenante: Live in Columbia, MO! 30 Oct 2026

Well, shucks if we didn't bring our gay olde show to my hometown just in time for Mid-MO Pridefest! Joining us in Columbia, MO for this edition of You Might Know Her From LIVE! is none other than lesbian theatre icon, Jillian Armenante! You Might Know Her From Girl Interrupted, The Dark Knight Rises, Bad Teacher, Vice, North Country, and Judging Amy. We dive deep on her lesbian theatrical roots in Seattle, the difficulty that nostril surgery poses when you're about to shoot with Jude Law, and just how annoying was it to shoot a 35MM film where you didn't have the script on a Christopher Nolan Batman set. Our show was a beautiful homecoming for Anne and the adopted Rodeman that is Damian Bellino, and we were properly loosey goosey, full of pride (and Jameson). All that, and a touch of SPOOKY SEASON TALK. And by that, we mean Kevin Sorbo! We hope you enjoy it and will come see us at our next live show in New York City on November 14 @ the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Get your tickets (for in-person or livestream) HERE!

Hargitay, Dale Dickey, Sepideh Moafi & Our Emmy 2026 Recap (Patreon Peek) 16 Sep 2026

Folks, we're breaking down the Emmys 2026: the good, the bad, the reaction shots. We're going for it all. This year's show was hosted by Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay who brought out the ol' vaudeville complete with MULTIPLE musical numbers and sketch comedy with her pal Taylor Swift. It was a ride. It's a thankless gig so we appreciate Mariska being game for it and bringing the energy and vocals. If you want to hear her belting during "Brotherhood of Man" opposite a CGI'd Kathy Bates you can watch it HERE. Other highlights included: Nicole Kidman bringing real moviestar gravitas, the wild reaction shots and god bless Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman knowing how to land a bit. We were particularly touched to see former guests of this show: Dale Dickey and Sepideh Moafi in the room. Dale just seems SO HAPPY to be there and it's so moving to see her (and Jeff Hiller) working the room and gettin the nominations and the love. Sepideh is killing it on The Pitt and she looked absolutely STUNNING at the show. Did you watch? What were the hits? What were the misses?

But because it's us, we also had to talk about the Real Housewives, American Girl dolls, chiropractors, birth order, and so much more. Get into it and read or listen to Alison's book now so we can unpack it!

Top 5 Gay (But Not Gay) Movies...According to Us 26 Jun 2025

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! Also, actress interviews from the past name-checked in this episode if you want to reacquaint yourselves: Kathleen Turner, re: Moonlight Lori Petty, re: A League of Their Own Wendy Makkena, re: Sister Act Kate Burton, re: The First Wives Club Elisa Donovan & Nicole Bilderback, re: Clueless Frances Fisher, re: Waiting for Guffman

Faith Prince 15 May 2025

Achoo! We're falling in love with the one and only Faith Prince. You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP! 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. This one was a HOOT. Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Evergreen topics for Anne and Damian: Tyne Daly in Gypsy, Grease, Spice Girls track listings, we look like cats in Heathcliff, the cast of Mannequin 2 aka is it Jonathan Silverman, no it's William Ragsdale in Herman's Head, Sex and the City/AJLT Cynthia Nixon's kitchen tour Tom and Lorenzo and their SJP adventure Plays Valentina in Boop on Broadway We love Dancer/Choreographer Rachelle Rak Coughing as Adelaide was tougher than talking and singing in character voice Bob Saget used his stand-up to differentiate himself from Danny Tanner Nathan & Adelaide are famously the SOUBRETTES in Guys & Dolls so Jerry Zaks put them forward instead of Sky and Sarah (this changed how future productions positioned the 2 couples) Jerry Mitchell says it's important to pass the baton down to the next generation of musical theatre stars Arthur Laurents aka "the meanest man in show-business", Jerry Gutierrez, Abe Burrows, Comden & Green, Sondheim, Barishnykov, Howard Ashman, Jack Plotnick, Tina Landau, My Father the Hero w/ Gerard Depardieu "Dirty Books" from The Last Dragon / Suzanne de Passe and Berry Gordy produced the soundtrack. Berry Gordy took her OUT and called her "baby" "One More Time" in First Wives Club "How do you know if someone has lived through trauma — by the way they get someone who doesn't like them, to like them." Cole Escola of Oh, Mary! on CBS Sunday Morning Was in first 6 episodes of High Society with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell (based on AbFab and Faith played the Saffy character) Faith Prince's "Men" from Nick & Nora. The show was a notorious flop. Arthur told Faith she was making a big mistake by leaving show to do Guys & Dolls. Mary Rodgers told her she could find a way into Anna through Gertrude Lawrence, who was a comedienne. Was offered the role of Audrey in the original Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors Went to CCM with Jim Walton Had taken the revue, Scrambled Feet and was doing an IBM industrial so couldn't' take LSOH Lance Roberts is currently in Just in Time Ellen Greene did Adelaide at The Hollywood Bowl Studied Donna Murphy who she replaced in The King & I and then did Wonderful Town (at LA Opera) Katie Finneran talked with us about James Lapine's realistic interpretation of Annie and Miss Hannigan in the 2012 revival. Said it was a challenge in the NYT. Re the 2012 revival of Annie: Andrea McArdle said "I didn't know we were doing Secret Garden" Associate Director Wes Grantham LOVES HUMOR, unlike Lapine Martin Charnin & Charles Strouse KISSED HER FEET when they visited her backstage John Doyle who directed A Catered Affair also backs away from the humor We love Bells are Ringing - Faith starred in the 2001 Broadway revival. Difficult because of Mitchell Maxwell who produced Had to ride an actor in Grey's Anatomy because character's IUD got stuck on her ex-husband's Prince Albert penis piercing Does some great character work in the indie film Our Very Own (got gig from doing reading of The Women with Allison Janney) IMDB lists her on an ep of Mad Men. INCORRECT. Martin Short was in Dennis Quaid movie, Innerspace My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies was an incredible, formative concert Managing Ursula costume in The Little Mermaid was worse than managing the wig in her Lifetime movie with Kathleen Turner, Friends at Last Vicki Lewis told us she held Dixie Carter's spit cup in a production of Mame she was in with Faith Christopher Walken kept pickled things in the pockets of his costume during James Joyce's The Dead (Marni Nixon was also in the show) We interviewed Annaleigh Ashford who is maybe made in the mold of Faith Prince Damian is seeing an Italian production of Cats / Anne is seeing her nephew do Grease Jr. in Sicily DUCK ASS HAIR for Danny Zuko

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.

Sigh.) Plus, Rosalind teases Pei-Pei's return in Freaky Friday 2, explains why it was important to embrace the trans community with her role on Gen Q, and gets to the bottom of her tucking her hair behind her ear in Just Like Heaven where Reese Witherspoon f*cks a ghost. Rosalind Chao, we love you!

Eva Le Gallienne with Barrie Kreinik 23 Jun 2024

Back for an extra-special, extra pride episode. You can listen to this complete Eva Le Gallienne deep dive with author and actor Barrie Kreinik on the You Might Know Her From Patreon. You're gonna love this dig into backstage lore and OG celesbian gossip as we explore the oeuvre of American theatre icon Eva Le Gallienne. Here to break it down with us is Barrie Kreinik, whose new audio drama, The Queen of Fourteenth Street, digs into Le G's robust stage credits, her dedication to creating an artistic institution of and for the people (the Civic Repertory Theatre), and her storied relationships with many an actor and socialite. We originally discovered Le Gallienne when interviewing Kate Burton, who appeared in Le G's '80s revival of Alice in Wonderland. We are so grateful for connecting with Barrie so we could explore American theatrical history through the lens of this queer trailblazer. Happy Pride from an OG theatre queer. We love YOU and we love Le G!
