How can you possibly point to one thing that gets you to a milestone like 250 episodes of television? So many factors must come into play. So many people must focus on a single vision. So many stars must align. Wanna start with the cast? Sure. Thanks. But who is writing the words we say? Who is carrying the camera on their shoulders and focusing the frame? Who is lighting each and every shot so that it looks professional and dramatic. What about editing? And sound? And color correction and studio heads and network mucky mucks and make up and production assistants and location scouts and first assistant directors and second assistant directors? Who rented that helicopter? Who designed and built and decorated all those sets? What about the guys at crafty who feed us so we’re not cranky? What about the publicity ladies and the hair dept and stunts and special effects and the transportation guys who move the trucks and trailers around. Who’s keeping an eye on the money and casting all the guest stars telling the background actors where to move and when? Who is printing out scripts and formatting the rewrites? It’s just endless. We’re a large village of humans working towards putting out an entertaining 43 minutes of television each and every week. I am constantly grateful and overwhelmingly humbled to be one human in such a fabulously efficient, successful, and creative village. . . . #ncisla #cbs #llcoolj #lindahunt #hetty teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Yesterday was Nonnie’s 102nd birthday, so naturally, I raised a glass of scotch in her honor. She passed peacefully back in May at the ripe young age of 101 (and 3/4). She and I grew very very close over the past decade. I got to be with her on one of her final days, and I whispered all our inside jokes in her ear. She drank single malt scotch every single day of her life – I even named my dog Scotch after her favorite drink (mine, too.) Nonnie, I know you’re up there enjoying a Dewar’s (rocks glass, ice on the side) and secretly gobbling up milk chocolate Easter bunnies (solid only, none of that cheap stuff) in that big closet in the sky. Giving you a big, loud “kiss in ear!” Let’s all raise a glass to my late grandma, Marie “Nonnie” Foa! 🥃 . . #grandma #nonnie #scotch #singlemalt #dewars

No teddy bears were harmed in the making of this jacket. 🧸
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Angels in America, Part 1: Millennium Approaches is officially open! This week we open Part 2: Perestroika (ya know, the weirder, longer, harder one with more angels, more ghosts, more magic, more blood, more ladders, more wrestling, more spooj, more punching, more nudity, more heaven, more hospitals, more rain, more Mormons, more dummies, more Mormon dummies, more bruises, more Bolsheviks, more prophets, more flying, and more cats!) NB: this is a rehearsal pic. Don’t worry, The Angel (the gorgeous Gina Daniels) does not wear pigtails in the show. Think more Grace Jones ferocity! 😇👩🏾🎤🧚🏾♀️ #AngelsInAmerica #ncisla #repstl 📷: @madmakeupnhair
Rehearsal-ing like a boss. #AngelsInAmerica #priorwalter #prior #repstl #theatre
Having a short and unusual surname has really upped my crossword puzzle answer game! Thanks, @metro #crossword #crosswordpuzzle #metro
Drag dream sequence from ANGELS IN AMERICA. I’ve never felt more powerful.
Humbled and proud to work with these seven stunningly brilliant powerhouses. We have moved into the theatre and the technical elements are simply GORGEOUS. Magic, and flying, and fighting, and sex, and make up, and wigs, and wings, and costumes, and hospitals, and ghosts, and blood, and angels and… Having not one but TWO turn tables is giving new meaning to Kushner’s brilliant line, “The world only spins forward.” 😉🌎💫 ANGELS IN AMERICA – Parts 1 & 2 arrives at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis in just one week. Join us for Tony Kushner’s mold-breaking, world-shaking, ceiling-shattering play.

If you’d have told me 25 years ago that one day I’d be on billboards all over St. Louis, Missouri alongside my favorite TV mom of all time, I’d say… “Yeah. That sounds about right!” 😜 #meredithbaxter #FamilyTies #ElyseKeaton #AngelsInAmerica #ncisla #ericbeale #billboard #billboards2019 #stl #meredithbaxterbirney #tonykushner #theatre #theater
