We spent a warm LA morning with actress, writer, director, producer, and ‘90s style icon Lori Petty. You Might Know Her From Orange is the New Black, A League of Their Own, Point Break, Free Willy, Tank Girl, Lush Life, and The Poker House. Lori got real with us about saying goodbye to OITNB, playing one of the most divisive characters in cinematic history, not sealing the deal with Keanu, and directing a young Jennifer Lawrence in her directorial debut. A delightful chat about “the work” and Hollywood juice, not to mention David Alan Grier, Penny Marshall, and Karyn Parsons talk. Guys...folks, enjoy!
