is enjoying something of a career renaissance, and she’s attributing the undeniable success to her female friendships. As she took the stage atevent — on her birthday, no less — she toasted to her “community of women,” among them Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, who have cheered on each other’s rise in Hollywood.
More recently — as the itinerant sleuth Charlie Cale on Rian Johnson’s case-of-the-week mystery series “Poker Face” — she’s in “heaven” because she gets to work alongside guest stars like Alice Ju, Clea Duvall, Chloë Sevigny and Janicza Bravo. “Natasha is a really great person to worry at because — and this is something I love about her — she has seen some shit,” Bryant said. “She knows. She explained to me that there will be ups, and you should really try to enjoy them because you can also count on the downs too, but that holding on to yourself and the people you love, you can weather it.”
Lyonne has a proclivity — in her professional and personal life — for people who feel like they don’t belong. She views her hit Netflix series “Russian Doll,” a comedic drama about a woman who relives her 36th birthday again and again, as a metaphor for outsiders coming together to survive.
