#100A - Busy Philipps: Point of View

“The greatest success for actors comes … when they sort of let go
of the idea that there's something that they need to be and they
relax into the idea that who they are is the gift and they just
need to bring that to the work.” - Busy Philipps Happy 100th
episode of Dear Multi-Hyphenate! We are celebrating with two parts
of a big 100th episode celebration. Let’s start with the amazing
Busy Philipps as we discuss… An artist’s superpower Rise to stardom
Knowing yourself Bad rep, good rep How Tina Fey supported Busy Mean
Girls… and so much more. Busy Philipps has starred in numerous
movies and television since her breakout role in “Freaks and Geeks”
in 1999. In 2018, Philipps released a collection of humorous
autobiographical essays in her book, “This Will Only Hurt a
Little,” that was immediately a New York Times bestseller, offering
unfiltered and candid stories about her life. Currently, Philipps
stars in the hit comedy series “Girls5eva” opposite Sara Bareilles,
which Netflix recently picked up for a third season. Produced by
Tina Fey, the acclaimed series centers on a one-hit wonder girl
group from the '90s who try for another chance at pop stardom.
Philipps can also be seen in “Mean Girls” playing Regina George’s
Mom — a fan favorite. Recently, she also appeared in a
scene-stealing recurring turn in three episodes of Freeform’s hit
comedy series “Single Drunk Female.” In 2020, Philipps launched her
podcast “Busy Phillipps is Doing Her Best” with her creative
partner, Caissie St. Onge, featuring conversations reflecting on
when setbacks led to better opportunities. @busyphilipps Learn
