Following last week's introduction, we start our chronological journey through Jennifer Jason Leigh's filmography with small cameos in the film The Spy Who Never Was (1976), episodes of TV shows Baretta (1977) and Family (1978) and a small, but fairly substantial, supporting role in the Disney TV movie The Young Runaways (1978).
Among other things, we discuss the politics of US TV during this time, whether JJL could be considered a nepo baby, the first example of the running theme of abortion in her work, and her mysterious accent choice in The Young Runaways.
We'll be back next month to discuss an episode of The Waltons and the TV movie Angel City.
