This week’s Doll is a whole lot more than a name squished into a clickbait slop article. She met Mick Jagger several years into her own storied career; which brought her from the UC Berkeley campus to playing Dionne in the West End production of Hair, then gracing the pages of fashion magazines and performing at Isle of Wight. She’s a novelist and memoirist, activist, actress in TV and film, and a stage 3 cancer survivor. What can’t Marsha Hunt do?
Plus, Emma gives an update on her home renovations, and Abby shares her experience at the MCA’s Yoko Ono retrospective and her day with friends of Cynthia Plaster Caster.
