The Fug Girls, of Go Fug Yourself, have an ongoing joke about Drinks With Broads, which is a party they want to host in which they have drinks with the most excellent broads of Hollywood.

This list is a good start. I would have drinks with all of these women.

Rita Moreno is 87 like I'm eligible to be President of the United States.

Loved the Christine Baranski interview. In particular I loved this, on why she eschews social media:

I'm an actress, so I want people to believe that I'm the character I'm playing. I don't want a Christine Baranski brand. I'm still protective of my life—it's nice to be somewhat mysterious.

I do think Diane Lockhart was all the more convincing to me because I had no idea who TF Christine Baranski was.

Michelle Yeoh! Grumpybearbride worked as an assistant to the costume designer on a commercial shoot in Singapore and got to meet her. She was apparently super nice.

Any stats on how many Queens are from Queens?

(per the Oscars, Streisand and Lee are from Brooklyn ;-)

Off the top of my head, Bernadette Peters and Lucy Liu.

I absolutely love Rita Moreno. National treasure. And if you aren't watching the new One Day at Time, please consider changing that.

My God these are all so good. I told myself I'd only read the Debbie Allen one and an hour later I just finished Jessica Walter's interview. Definitely a series you want to carve out some time for. Thanks for sharing it!
