You Might Know Her From

Fueggots, we're here with drag artist DD Fuego from season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race. And what a joyful day it is to be with one of the friends of You Might Know Her From. We're old pals with DD so it's been a complete joy to watch her go from art director for NY theatre and Billy on the Street (and closeted at-home drag queen) to a New York City queen and hostess to a contestant on the biggest queer show on TV right now. DD talks about her experiences on the show, being the Miss Porkchop of the season, those final lip sync numbers, what she had up her sleeve for Snatch Game, and what we can expect next from DD Fuego. Follow DD on your socials: YouTube + TikTok + Instagram Head over to the YMKHF Patreon to listen to the entire interview with DD Fuego!

Babessssss, we did a live show! (WE did a live show!) We are so grateful to the Laurie Beechman and Tom and Michael D'Angora, who helped make our dreams of doing a live-recording come true. We're walking you through some of the machinations of how we got here (we know some of you like to know how the sausage is made) and gassing each other up like it's an Oscar acceptance speech, ya know? But we MOST ESPECIALLY want to thank YOUS.

Happy Pride, babies! We love you all from the bottom of our queer little hearts. For June's episode we are doing a "talking shet" kinda-manic-mind-meld-wormhole-brain-rot-mindgrapes-Grape-Lady episode where we are narrowing down OUR list of the top 5 gay (but not gay) movies, according to us (Anne and Damian, two geriatric millennials, so set your expectations on what kind of wild ride this is.) But FIRST, we have a few quick orders of business: We are taking a bit of a summer hiatus as it relates to actress interviews. We know, we know, we're already only feeding you once a month but trust that this hiatus is an exciting lead-up to a big announcement. In the interim, we will be on the You Might Know Her From-original recipe feed monthly giving you some "just us" b.s. and also maybe even a non-actress interview if some of our stars align. We'll also be chugging away here for YOU, the subscribers. We are still recapping And Just Like That, we are still working on our "everything is connected" musical the

You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP!  Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero.  Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously "realistic" production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean

It's Miriam Shor, y'all! You Might Know Her From Younger, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Magic Hour, GCB, Shortbus, Swingtown, Maestro, American Fiction, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3. Miriam gave us all the scoop on grounding the zaniness of Diana Trout on Darren Star's Younger, leading the indie comedy Magic Hour, and appearing in "brilliant but canceled" series like GCB and Swingtown. All that, plus Miriam talked to us about being one of John Cameron Mitchell's "players," appearing in Shortbus and, of course, originating the role of Yitzhak in the Hedwig universe; popping up in prestige Oscar films; her musical theatre roots; New York City history; and dying by way of a paintbrush in The Americans.
