Explicit content warning
01/28/21 • 68 min
Welcome back to Second Act! We’re starting the new year off with Bonnie’s fellow Brooklyn native and high school alumni, and Editor-In-Chief of Town & Country magazine (America’s longest running magazine still in print), Stellene Volandes. They talk about their days at Poly Prep in Bay Ridge, what they did after high school, and everything that’s happened since then. Stellene has had many acts over an incredible career – in the editorial magazine world, as a published author with an amazing new book called “Jewels That Made History: 101 Stones, Myths, and Legends”, and even as a public school teacher at LaGuardia, a.k.a. the “Fame” school (which Bonnie wasn’t accepted to!). It’s a great conversation about life, careers, Brooklyn accents, and their shared love of history and jewelry (Stellene is a jewelry expert – you’ll probably pick up on Bonnie’s envy). Hope you enjoy it, and Happy New Year, everyone!

Previous Episode
007 Lindsay Sloane - Second Act with Bonnie Somerville
In this episode, Bonnie talks with one of her best and oldest friends, actress Lindsay Sloane. They met on Bonnie’s very first show, the ahead-ot-its-time Grosse Pointe, created by Darren Star. What happened to get that job is the beginning of an intimate and brutally honest conversation about acting, growing up in this business, navigating multiple upsets, firings, breakups, close calls and how hard it is to find your voice when you start so young. Hilariously funny, raw, and real, Lindsay shares what she’s learned as an actress, a woman, and now a mom. This is an intimate talk between two friends who have been through it all together, and aren’t afraid to tell the real stuff behind the scenes – even if it hurts (and some of it does)!

009 Lochlyn Munro - Second Act with Bonnie Somerville
In this episode of Second Act, Bonnie talks with Lochlyn Munro, actor, musician, and former hockey phenom. Before an amazing run as Hal Cooper on Riverdale, you’d probably seen him on... well, It’s probably quicker to list the shows he hasn’t been on rather than the ones he has. Bonnie talks with him about transitioning from music to acting (a background she shares), and his time before that as an aspiring star hockey player (a background she does not share). Lochlyn has a million anecdotes from decades in the business, including: What he thought when he met Johnny Depp on his first show, trying to get the drop on Clint Eastwood, and who is the best hockey player in Hollywood.
