Episode description

This week on I Know That Face Andrew and Stephen tackle the long, unique career of Jennifer Jason Leigh. An Oscar and Golden Globe nominee for her role as Daisy Domergue in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, Leigh's career spans four decades. She broke out as the Hollywood It Girl in Fast Times at Ridgemont High before rejecting the bright but short career of a Tinsel Town starlet in favour of stranger, meatier roles in smaller films like Paul Verhoeven's Flesh + Blood and opposite Rutger Hauer's iconic villain in The Hitcher. Roles in Single White Female, David Cronenberg's eXistenZ and recently Good Time made her a genre heavyweight. She explored more sympathetic characters in higher brow films like The Hudsucker Proxy, Anomalisa, Annihilation while maintaining a career in TV and occasionally on stage.  Andrew Twitter: @Andrew_Carroll0 Stephen Twitter: @StephenPorzio Editor and Community Manager: Charline Fernandez Instagram: @charline_frnndz Community Manager: Anais Albouy Instagram: @anapowers I Know That Face Twitter: @IKnowThatFaceP1 / Instagram: @iknowthatface Intro and Outro Music: No Boundaries (motorik groove) by Keshco.
