Lesley Ann Warren

Actress Lesley Ann Warren has never settled for the conventional. A child ballerina who earned a scholarship to study with legendary choreographer George Balanchine, she switched to acting and, at 17, became the youngest performer ever to attend New York’s prestigious Actors Studio. Since landing her first screen role in a 1965 TV production of Cinderella, she has established herself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile character actresses, delivering unforgettable performances on the big screen (including an Oscar-nominated turn in Victor Victoria) and on hit TV shows like Desperate Housewives and Will & Grace. In this episode, Warren shares the secrets of the actor’s craft.
