Julie Bowen is an actress, producer, and director who spent eleven seasons as America’s most type-A TV mom on “Modern Family.” The show ended as she turned 50, but that didn’t stop her. She directed and produced her first short film, launched a production company ‘Bowen and sons’ with a first look deal at Universal television. She continues to rack up more fun characters with Hysteria! on Peacock; expanded her range with the horror-comedy “Totally Killer,” reprised her role in Happy Gilmore 2, made her stage debut in “Fake It Until You Make It” at the Mark Taper Forum, and has an NBC comedy “Taste” in development through her production company. She is open and raw and honest about what being in her fifties has meant to her. Another must not miss!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
