WILD CARDS
In Conversation With… Allison Janney
Even if she may not have completely deserved her Oscar win for I, Tonya (we were on Team Laurie Metcalf), there’s no denying Janney’s appeal and talent, whether on the small screen (The West Wing, Masters Of Sex) or big screen (Juno, American Beauty and TIFF 2019 film Bad Education). Janney discusses her life and career in a sure-to-sell-out event.
