There are a lot of fantastic women in Women Talking, but when Jordan first saw the film in theaters, she was immediately struck by the powerful performances of the movie's matriarchs, one of whom is played to hilarious, heartbreaking perfection by today's guest, Sheila McCarthy. Sheila tells us about identifying with Liza Minnelli's Pookie Adams in The Sterile Cuckoo — a feeling that she had when she saw the film in theaters as a teenager.
