Welcome back! This week’s episode features Nicole Bilderback. You Might Know Her From Bring It On, Clueless, Can’t Hardly Wait, Mercenaries, Brooklyn 99, and Cruel Summer. Nicole (or Nikki, as she asked us to call her because, frenz) really gave us the scoop on being one of the few adults on the set of Freeform’s thriller Cruel Summer, cutting her teeth in the biz on some of the most beloved teen films of the ‘90s and early ‘00s, and getting to blow things up and fly jets on the set of a big action movie opposite a bunch of other bad ass women. All that plus, did Ryan Murphy steal from Bring It On for Santana and Brittany on Glee? Did Janet Leigh use a body double for her final film, Bad Girls from Valley High? Was Michelle Visage in Starlight Express on Broadway? The answers to these questions await you, wee ones.
