  • Zoe Saldaña joins the show to talk about her role in Jacques Audiard’s new film, Emilia Pérez. Saldaña plays Rita – a Mexican lawyer who is offered an unusual job to help a notorious cartel boss retire and transition into living as a woman, fulfilling a life-long desire. Saldaña recalls being inspired by Audiard’s work as a teenager, explains that playing Rita allowed her to combine her favorite artistic mediums and fully immerse herself within an acting experience, and reacts to the overwhelming public reception that the film has received so far. She also reflects on her childhood, describes how ballet provided her with a much-needed escape from every-day life, discusses how her early acting experiences in films like Center Stage, Crossroads, and Drumline shaped the kinds of roles she wanted to pursue, and speaks candidly about handling roadblocks throughout her career.
