61. Sarah Burns
Sarah Burns (Barry, I Love You Man, Enlightened) and Sam laugh their way through this interview. Sarah is super open about not being a "polished Hollywood lady" and just figuring things out and she went. Her experience in improv at UCB and her relationship with certain casting directors helped lead her to her current level, which as we talk about, still doesn't feel like "there"...whatever that means. https://www.instagram.com/1brokeactress/ https://www.1brokeactress.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-broke-actress-podcast/message
