Rachel Brosnahan

“I’VE ALWAYS LOVED WOMEN IN COMEDY, SO I’M CONTINUOUSLY surprised when I hear people repeating that age-old ‘women aren’t funny’ thing,” Rachel Brosnahan says. “I don’t get it at all. While we’ve come a long way, clearly we. Two already-released seasons follow the fictional, ever-fashionable ’50s mother as she embarks on a personal journey to put her naturally funny, carefree attitude on display. The show’s third season will be released on December 6. Brosnahan will also appear in , an Amazon film set to release in 2020, in which she plays Jean, a character wildly different from Midge. “Jean is at a place in her life where she’s feeling pretty small,” says Brosnahan. Midge plays larger than life in almost every aspect. I suppose the similarity is that they’re both following different journeys to better understanding themselves and figuring out how to use their voices in a new way.”
