You Might Know Her From Phantom Thread, Licorice Pizza, Addams Family Values, Desperate Housewives, The 5 Mrs. Buchannons, Ratchet, The Agency: Central Intelligence, and the Broadway production of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Harriet Harris gave us the skinny on being directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, acting opposite Daniel Day Lewis in Phantom Thread, and being pied in the face (at least twice) at the hands of Paul Rudnick. All that plus she walked us through all of Felicia Tillman's delicious Desperate Housewives plotlines, the "queerness" of The 5 Mrs. Buchannons, and her influence in alt rock from the Eve 6 episode of The X-Files. Harriet Harris is just a woman for all of us!
