LINDA YELLEN: WORKING WITHOUT A SCRIPT

Jill Eikenberry

JoBeth Williams

Thank you for listening to the following films podcast. Today I’m joined by Linda Yellen, Jill Eikenberry, Patricia Richardson, and Jobeth Williams the director and stars of the new film CHANTILLY BRIDGE. For the first half of the interview I’m joined by JoBeth Williams and after the break in the second half I have a group interview with Linda, Jill and Patricia.  Chantilly Bridge reunites a group of lifelong, steadfast friends who are still – in their later years -- chasing their dreams, fighting injustices, and sticking up for their convictions. The women lay bare their lives and deal with important issues that impact all women with humor, humility, humanity, and love. No topic escapes the razor-like wit and insight of these women: equality, sex, menopause, mortality, feminism, parenthood, careers, love, and even “me-too” moments. While women often feel invisible in the world, this film highlights who they are and what they care about.  We experience what women are truly like and what they discuss in a setting where no men are present.  Chantilly Bridge is also about reconnecting with old friends from the past and the beauty of a shared history.    ---   Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/followingfilms/support
