Brenda Chapman helped to pen the original Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid and became head of story for the long-struggling The Lion King (and turned it around). Soon after she directed The Prince of Egypt and created and directed Brave. She spoke with me about her journey and remembers the exact moment she became a feminist.

My chat with Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s Donna Lynne Champlin (Paula Proctor) is live!

Plus she dishes just a little on a guest appearance she’s shooting for Comedy Central. What?!
