Description
Audrey Landers steps Behind The Rope. Yes, that Audrey Landers. Afton Cooper from the iconic, mega hit, fourteen year long run TV show, Dallas. After a brief chat about how Audrey ended up in LA to pursue her career in acting, we chat about how she got her role on Dallas. She chats about her early days on the hit TV show, who she felt most and least welcome by, and the challenges of coming into an already mega hit TV show with a cast that was tight. Speaking of a cast that was tight, mostly, Audrey opens up about all of her cast mates including, but not limited to, Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, and Charlene Tilton. She also chats about Victoria Principal who notoriously was considered “an outsider” by the others and dissects the truth behind that rumor. Audrey chats about what she loved most, and least, about playing Afton Cooper and which storylines she thinks went too far. We discuss the rich storytelling of Dallas, how it was truly the leader that changed the game in the nighttime soap genre, how it invented the cliffhanger, and how Eighty Three Million People who watched, and asked all summer, “Who Shot J.R?” will never be recreated again. After four short seasons (yes, it wasn’t enough) playing Afton, Audrey left Dallas for a role in the hit movie “A Chorus Line”, where she got to show off her singing and dancing. That’s correct, Audrey has had an illustrious singing career. Flash forward and Audrey returned to Dallas to reprise her role as Afton in the original and then again in 2012 in the reboot of Dallas. We chat about what it’s like to play such an iconic role for so long, getting typecast in Hollywood, how far Hollywood has come, or not come, in offering interesting roles for women over forty, how far they still have to go, and the “me-too” movement and its affect on the industry. Of course, there is also her recent audition for Mr. Ryan Murphy!

RHONJ (Finale Week) / RHONY (Almost Premiere Week) - Stories from the Week: In honor of RHONJ finale week (yes guys its over after this week and then we can move onto other topics), David welcomes Emmy Award Winning TV Producer, and Super Fan Listener, "Just Joan" Behind The Rope. Being the producer that she is, Joan immediately turns the tables on David making him address burning RHONJ questions such as Melissa or Tre, where in NJ would he live if cast as the first "Gay Housewife", and what really is the difference between a Kim G and a Kim D. Joan wants details about David's filming with RHONJ and RHONY. They do a deep dive into David's friendship and interactions with the two new RHONY kids on the block, Leah and Elyse and what we can expect (April 2nd is almost here). They discuss the importance of Bravo pets and how no one will ever follow in the footsteps of Giggy Vanderpump. Finally the conversation gets existential and a debate of fame versus money versus inner happiness arises by BEHIND THE VELVET ROPE
