About this listen

Annie Potts has starred in some iconic movies and TV shows - “Ghostbusters,” “Toy Story,” “Designing Women,” and “Young Sheldon” just to name a few. Annie talks with me about her latest role as Aunt Sarah the “lobsterwoman” on “Best Medicine” (new episodes air Tuesdays at 8pm ET on FOX and stream the next day on HULU); how she balanced motherhood amidst 22-episodes-a-season on “Designing Women”; her now-viral “Tonight Show” moment with Shelley Winters; and what convinced her to take the role of Bo Peep in “Toy Story” (hint: it wasn’t her agent who talked her into it!). 00:00 From Tomboy to Lobster Woman 01:35 Adapting Doc Martin for Best Medicine 03:49 The Weird Leap Into TV & Film 04:44 That Shelly Winters Tonight Show Moment 06:10 How Ghostbusters Really Happened 07:29 Working With Bill Murray & Improv Chaos 08:56 Feeling Lost in an Improv Room 09:44 Designing Women & Ensemble Magic 11:28 Being a Workaholic 12:48 Raising Kids While Filming 26 Episodes 15:13 Becoming Bo Peep in Toy Story 17:29 Taking Grandkids to Disneyland 21:27 Broadway Debut at 57 23:56 Learning the Trapeze at 62 24:57 The Near-Fatal Car Accident at 21 26:27 Roles That “Got Away” 27:41 Why She’ll Never Retire 29:16 The Las Vegas Memory With Joan Rivers 30:43 Craft Services & Raising Kids on Set This is another Hurrdat Media Production.
