Our guest this week is the amazing actress Adrienne Barbeau. You may remember Adrienne as Carol, the daughter of Bea Arthur in Maude or from countless horror films. Who could forget Cannonball Run? Actually, Adrienne would like to because she did not enjoy the filming of that movie.
She was also the original Rizzo for Grease on Broadway and has written three popular books. She was the voice of Cat Women as well as many of the video games our families are playing online today. She is now working on another book to document that 50th Anniversary of Grease.
Adrienne had her twins at 51 and comically admits to having maternity and menopause experiences at the same time. Listen to her share stories of Hollywood, Broadway and more.
