Ann Dowd, 'The Handmaid's Tale'

At her father's request, Ann Dowd studied pre-med and almost went
to medical school. Luckily for fans of her work in "The Handmaid's
Tale" and "The Leftovers," the Emmy-winning actress changed her
mind. "There's this real value in following something you love,"
she says. The actress talked about Aunt Lydia and recalled the
night she won her Emmy. Check out our other podcasts:
