Actress Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, That Was Then…This Is Now, Popcorn)
29 years ago, actress Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, That Was Then…This Is Now, Popcorn) abruptly retired from acting at the height of her career. Now, as she makes her triumphant return in front of the camera, we are thrilled to have her join us for a beautiful conversation about self-worth, empathy, generational trauma, and how to leave the world better than how we came into it. 
Beginning with her first theatrical role in Joel Schumacher's D.C. Cab, to being cast alongside Emilio Estevez and Craig Sheffer in S.E. Hinton’s That Was Then…This Is Now, to her experience joining the cast of slasher Popcorn after more than half of the film had already been shot, Jill’s performances are always memorable.  
Jill shares how problematic the writing for female characters was in the 80’s, and discusses her time on screen in Thunder Alley, Rich Girl, & Little House On The Prairie. The cup of gratitude & joy runneth over in this interview. Jill is phenomenal person with a great perspective!
