Actress Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, That Was Then\u2026This Is Now, Popcorn)\n29 years ago, actress Jill Schoelen (The Stepfather, That Was Then\u2026This 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.\xa0\nBeginning 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\u2019s That Was Then\u2026This Is Now, to her experience joining the cast of slasher Popcorn after more than half of the film had already been shot, Jill\u2019s performances are always memorable.\xa0\xa0\nJill shares how problematic the writing for female characters was in the 80\u2019s, 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!\nDig our show?
