My Hollywood Story

It's Sharon Horgan… she can pluck anything!

How did a Catholic school-girl from rural Ireland fall in love with Roseanne and become one of television’s great auteur voices of the streaming era? Stacey welcomes the BAFTA and Emmy-winning writer and actor Sharon Horgan to the show, who dissects – in her humbly sardonic, oh-so-Irish way – the surprising career milestones (and disappointments) that led her to creating and starring in fan-favorite series such as Pulling, Catastrophe and, most recently, Bad Sisters for Apple TV+. Sharon also shares her top-three favorite Nicolas Cage movies and the enduring love she feels for the late, great Carrie Fisher.

It’s Elisabeth Moss… even she didn’t know Peggy was going to be the hero of Mad Men!

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.
