‘Gina Gershon and a flower that squirts water in your eye, those are my two modes.’ Profiled Betty Gilpin as she makes her Broadway debut in OH, MARY! and returns to Netflix in AMERICAN PRIMEVAL. wapo.st/40Vk0tg

Betty Gilpin is the best part of that show you want to see
Betty Gilpin has played a pro wrestler and a vigilante nun. Now, she’s in the Netflix hit “American Primeval” and grabbing “instinct by the throat” in Broadway’s “Oh, Mary!”
