This week, we have a very special guest, Tricia Sawyer, who holds a unique place in our podcast's history as my very first interviewee. Tricia is back to discuss her Emmy-nominated work on the visually stunning series Palm Royale on Apple TV. We dive into the intricate details of her craft, from the meticulous makeup designs to the collaborative process with costume and hair departments. Tricia shares her experiences working with the incredible cast, including Kristen Wiig, Carol Burnett, and Allison Janney, and gives us a sneak peek into the upcoming projects she's involved in, including an exciting new film about the early days of SNL.
*PLEASE NOTE! Mercury is Retro and so our zoom was glitching! Apologies but we tried several times to reconnect, then just embraced the glitch. My husband lovingly covered any awkward freezes with graphics- you know how bad an awkward freeze can be:) Enjoy this episode!
