Episode 18: Beatrice Straight - "Network" (1976)

We are giving our respect and allegiance to Beatrice Straight’s brief but breathtaking BSA performance in 1976’s “Network,” as Louise Schumacher, elevating the betrayed wife to Shakespearean levels. Perhaps it’s her experience as one of the original One Scene Queens, Lady Macduff, who we also queen out about this week. Plus: Piper Laurie’s magnetic Margaret White in “Carrie,” the powerhouse that is Lee Grant, the Broadway version of Louise, Glenn Close in “The Wife,” how to eat a Ferrero Rocher, birthday celebrations, plans for a Why She Won It episode, love for BSA of Instagram and a whole new lens on a camp classic.
