Description
"One of the big messages for our listeners is the whole idea of being resilient, the idea of bouncing back after failure. I’m like a cat who’s had nine lives." - Danielle Kennedy
Age is just a number, especially for 80-year-old actress Danielle Kennedy! On my latest podcast, we dove into her inspiring journey of embracing acting later in life. From starring in Narcos with Pedro Pascal to her upcoming role in Man on the Inside with Ted Danson, Danielle proves it’s never too late to follow your passions. Her resilience and joy in storytelling shine through as we chat about navigating auditions, memorizing lines, and tackling meaningful roles like her Netflix project on elder abuse. Danielle’s advice on handling rejection—tearing up the script and moving forward—is a powerful reminder to focus on the craft and not the outcome.
She also shared behind-the-scenes stories, like her experiences on Ghostbusters: Afterlife and meeting Jamie Foxx on Day Shift, where his kindness left a lasting impression. Danielle’s dedication to her art and her zest for life show that creativity truly knows no age. Tune in for an uplifting conversation about resilience, passion, and embracing the possibilities at any stage of life! #ActingJourney #Uncopyable #AgingUncopyably
