How did a ballet-trained child actor from L.A. escape the trappings of early fame to become the face of Peak TV? Emmy-winner Elisabeth Moss joins the show for a deep-dive into the evolution of prestige television— from her breakout role on NBC’s The West Wing, to the zeitgeist of AMC’s Mad Men and brutal beauty of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, the final episodes of which Moss herself directed. She also dishes on the kindness of Winona Ryder, the loss of Brittany Murphy, feeling starstruck by Natalie Portman and her 25-year friendship with Bradley “Brad” Whitford.
