00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,400
- You're also going
to be in this upcoming

3
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,640
FX show, "Mrs. America," right?

4
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,090
Tell me about that.
MIRIAM SHOR: With a few people.

5
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:07,260
- Right, Margo Martindale?

6
00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:08,820
MIRIAM SHOR: Margo
Martindale, who

7
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:12,570
plays Bella Abzug, which I was
like I must play Bella Abzug.

8
00:00:12,570 --> 00:00:13,800
OK, no, Margo Martindale should.

9
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:19,890
[LAUGHING] It was like every
feminist icon from the '70s.

10
00:00:19,890 --> 00:00:21,930
You know, Cate
Blanchett, I don't--

11
00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:26,460
playing the non-feminist icon
of Phyllis Schlafly, examining

12
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,080
when we-- when the ERA was--

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,900
when the attempted passage of
the ERA, why it didn't pass.

14
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,810
I think that's a really
interesting exploration.

15
00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:36,780
And Tracey Ullman
playing Betty Friedan.

16
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:40,140
And I played her best friend
and first, to get to just

17
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:41,040
be on a set with Tracey.

18
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:41,840
- Yeah.

19
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,000
MIRIAM SHOR: I-- I-- she's
someone I have looked at.

20
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,690
She's an exceptional performer
and an exceptional person,

21
00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:50,460
it turns out, yay, you know?

22
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:52,260
I mean, it's always so great
when you meet your idols,

23
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,825
and they're brilliant people,
as well as brilliant performers.

24
00:00:54,825 --> 00:00:55,110
- Nice.

25
00:00:55,110 --> 00:00:55,910
MIRIAM SHOR: Yeah.

26
00:00:55,910 --> 00:00:58,350
And you're like,
[GASPING] it's possible.

27
00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:01,380
She-- I've always
loved her work.

28
00:01:01,380 --> 00:01:03,010
I've always loved her--

29
00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:07,590
her risks that she's taken.

30
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:10,290
So to get to work with her
was kind of amazing, you know.

31
00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:12,480
And then Rose Byrne
playing Gloria Steinem--

32
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,060
you know, I'd worked with
her before on "Damages."

33
00:01:15,060 --> 00:01:18,120
And she's a delight of a
human and to get to work

34
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,430
with her in that capacity.

35
00:01:20,430 --> 00:01:23,030
I just was like, I
just want to be--

36
00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:24,340
I've got to be a
part of this somehow.

37
00:01:24,340 --> 00:01:25,807
When I heard about this
project, I was like,

38
00:01:25,807 --> 00:01:28,680
I must somehow be part of this.

39
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:29,850
And I'm really glad that I was.
