  • The Matlock reboot is huge! Are you watching? I've been trying to have Matlock actor Jason Ritter (also known for Parenthood, Gravity Falls, Joan of Arcadia, etc) back on Really Famous after this excellent talk from 2019 but we just haven't worked it out yet, so I thought, let's enjoy this one that we already have on the books!

    You'll hear us talk about:

    Parenthood - why he loved it, which scenes made him cry (as a viewer!) People, perfection and the real deal The downside of potential Growing up with a very famous dad (actor Jason Ritter) What happened after his dad died Embarrassment and the Golden Rule Why he stopped drinking AA ADHD Therapy Fame (then vs. now) Our favorite TV shows The Bachelor The Carbonaro Effect Game of Thrones A few of his heroes who were guests on Really Famous: Joe Mantegna Michael Ian Black Michael Carbonaro

  • If you ever wondered what REALLY goes on at big talent agencies and on the sets of your favorite movies, if you wonder if making it in entertainment is actually about who you know, if those nightmares about nasty certain studio execs are true, you're curious what on earth a key grip does, you want to hear stories about Joe Pesci, Steven Spielberg, Steven Seagal and more, this is for you. And if you like My Cousin Vinny, well, just wait!

    Jon Fitzgerald is a widely respected person in the independent film industry. He is a film festival guru -- he co-created the Slamdance Film Festival, reinvigorated and ran the prestigious AFI Film Festival, and is an in-demand consultant for filmmakers and film festivals. He teaches master classes on topics like filmmaking for change and movie marketing.

    Jon has also produced award-winning documentaries and founded Ca use Pictures, a company that helps filmmakers create and distribute their films about socially relevant stories.

    So, he knows what’s up. And you’re about to, as well. I sat down with Jon recently in his office in LA so we can give you a close-up, behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking industry. Let's go!

  • Kim Fields (The Upshaws, Living Single, The Facts of Life) and I reconnect after a few years and get right down to powerful and meaningful insights on everything from Kim’s detail-oriented personality and her incredible mission to make something amazing of her life (and oh wow, did she!) to why breathing, acknowledgment and light are so important.

    Get your FREE 2-week trial with Aura: https://aura.com/reallyfamous

    You'll hear about entrepreneurship endeavors, coffee, Kim’s Refresh wellness retreats, broadcasting and internship, Kim's multi-hyphenate work on The Upshaws (Netflix).

    We talk about our mutual friend Todd Bridges and a powerful emotional reaction Kim had to the recent Diff’rent Strokes reunion. Kim opens up about not wanting to be a "has been, child star statistic" and what she's still working on in her personal life.

    You'll hear thoughts on parenting and balance and the high wire act so many of us do.

    Plus I analyze Kim a bit at times. Because, you know, I'm a therapist and that's how I roll. And I'm pretty sure it's a good thing here.

  • Twist! I reached into my archives for this, friends. Back in the day, I interviewed these three iconic women: Uma Thurman (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale, Mad Men) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glee, Pushing Daisies). These were VERY DIFFERENT interviews from my podcast talks because (a) back then, I was primarily a writer and a therapist, (b) I was only beginning to develop my interviewing style, (c) they were for written articles, or profiles, for magazines, so the purpose was different, and (d) I didn't have actual podcasting equipment yet; just a tiny microrecorder (which wasn't a match for the loud restaurant where I met Elisabeth Moss, unfortunately).

    Anyway, I think you'll enjoy these. They have a rough, behind-the-scenes quality. And these women, wow. Icons. Layered. Real. Women.

  • When Tim Daly and I sit down at his kitchen table for our 6th Really Famous talk, we get philosophical - and Tim says some things he probably shouldn't (his words, not mine!). Of course we talk Madam Secretary, Wings, how handsome Tim is, his status with co-star and life partner Téa Leoni, etc. But we also get into deep (and shallow) thoughts, about aging, fear, death, intimacy and more.

    You'll feel like you're right there with us, sitting at the table with Tim's dog, Goose, coming and going, weaving from topic to topic and analyzing our individual takes on life.

    Enjoy.

    Celebrity interview by Kara Mayer Robinson

  • Alan Cumming has an FAQ page on his website. That's because he's been interviewed so many times and he's done with the same old questions. That's actually perfect for me because I can't stand same old questions.

    But!

    He has done so many things (mastered theater, won a Tony, starred in hit TV series like The Good Wife -- he played Eli Gold -- and Instinct, starred in everything from Doctor Who to Sex and the City and Spy Kids, co-hosted the Tonys, made albums, received 40+ awards for his humanitarianism, got 3 honorary degrees, holy moly, the list goes on!) that I felt overwhelmed. Where was I going to go with this interview?

    Then it hit me.

    Proverbs.

    Listen now and you'll know exactly what I mean.

  • The Young and the Restless icon Eric Braeden, aka Victor Newman, returns to Really Famous as we sit down at CBS Studios in Los Angeles, on the set of the daytime drama, to talk about the wildest and scariest times in Eric's life, his recent bout with bladder cancer, trauma and drama, making it in Hollywood, his penchant for fast cars and the shocking things he's done when he was pulled over by the police, his granddaughters, his veracity, and oh so much more. Plus, he compares me to Larry King. So that's fun too.

  • If you have mental illness in your family or know someone with narcissistic or borderline personality disorder, this one's for you. Actor Reid Scott (Veep, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Why Women Kill) and I dive into personal stories and I share insight as a mental health expert in a special #mentalhealth episode of Really Famous, where Reid interviews me and also opens up about his family and their mental health struggles.

    It's the second time Reid is on Really Famous and this time, he's asking the questions. And revealing personal stories. And getting feedback from Kara.

    Disclaimer: This is not a professional advice podcast. It is for entertainment purposes only. It is not intended as medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice.

  • A one-of-a-kind talk with one-of-a-kind actor Ed Begley, Jr!

    Ed reveals why he spent most of his life as a con man (his words, not mine!), telling lies, breaking the law, doing drugs, drinking too much, cheating on women, and feeling like a victim. We also talk about living with Parkinson's Disease and how Ed changed his life around sometime between St. Elsewhere and Better Call Saul.

    We get into a lot, including on:

    Old Hollywood stories involving icons like Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, drugs and the police Ed shares family bombshells – found out his mother wasn’t his mother. I call him out on being a liar. He reveals that he talks to Jack Nicholson (who nobody has seemed to hear from in a very long time). Better Call Saul - and our favorite, Patrick Fabian Playing Victor Ehrlich on St Elsewhere We have a very honest, candid conversation about living with Parkinson’s Disease after hiding it – and not knowing - for years. Ed brings me a copy of his new memoir, To the Temple of Tranquility...and Step on It, which you can get in my Amazon shop https://amzn.to/3MukbEf We bond over being optimists. I analyze Ed, in a nutshell.

    Bonus:

    At the end of today's show, I added a bonus 10-minute chat with Tim Friedlander, owner of soundBOX recording studio, where he gives us a whole bunch of fascinating factoids about voice acting and what goes on behind the scenes of our favorite movies, TV shows, commercials, video gamees and more. Stay tuned!
