Rachel Brosnahan in Conversation with Judith Light

Amazon Originals I’m Your Woman and Comedy Special Yearly Departed
Rachel Brosnahan and Judith Light

Join the Golden Globe Award- and Emmy-winning star for a conversation about the acclaimed series and two new projects—the Amazon Studios film I’m Your Woman and Amazon Original’s comedy special Yearly Departed.

Brosnahan’s performance in I’m Your Woman, for which she also serves as co-producer, is already garnering buzz as one of her sharpest roles yet. The hilarious year-end comedy special Yearly Departed hosted by Phoebe Robinson features Brosnahan as one of many “eulogists” saying goodbye and good riddance to 2020. Both available on Prime Video this December. Hear her discuss her work on the film, and what she’s been up to in 2020—her work during the pandemic, the future of Midge Maisel, stories from behind the scenes, and more.
