- I have another MUCH requested interview for you this week... the stunning and talented Mary McDonnell. We talk about the incredible career which has earned her two Oscar nominations, her brilliant performance as Madeline on The Fall of the House of Usher, Battlestar Galactica, societal pressures that come with getting older as a woman, and what the future might hold for young women today.

When Mary said "frack" casually I yelled.
Yes I heard that too!
Haha-right?!?😂
Mary’s acting in BSG was off the charts… she is one of the greats and deserves much wider recognition!
SO SAY WE ALL!
So say we all!!
Our President.🥰 Thank you always for giving us Laura Roslin, Mary.🙏🏻🏆
So say we all!
SO SAY WE ALL!
SO SAY WE ALL!!!!
I recall going to Arclight Hollywood the day after Battlestar's finale. I needed to see a movie to take my mind off the finale. As I rode the escalator down to the main lobby of the movie theater, I saw Mary on her cell phone. I went to Arclight to forget about Battlestar only to encounter President Roslyn in the flesh.
Every time I see her, she is always playing a BOSS. RIP Major Crimes
Mary was one of my favorite things about BSG. Her voice is so calming and she looks stunning. I wish I knew how to age in reverse.
She's as beautiful now as always - and yes she brought such a presence to Battlestar
Mary is one of the great actresses of her generation. Her performance in Battlestar was monumental. In fact, the 3 characters created by Katee, Tricia and Mary stood out as the most memorable of all for me.
Making 72 look fantastic! What a stellar career.
She's responsible for so many of my tears. lol. Such a great actress.
Mary is such a good actress, for real. Super nuanced, she is able to express so much without using words, and through the use of her voice. Truly, truly a master of her craft. And she's looking GOOD :)
bloody hell, I had such a crush on Mary when I saw her in Dances with Wolves
same
I still do
I want to no more about Madeline
Dancing with wolves was a masterpiece and Kevin and Mary did a great job
I will say Mary McDonnell WAS in a horror movie - Scream 4! Haha, love her in everything she's in. Made me sob in battlestar.
I love Mary so so much. She's a great actress and human being. Thanks for inviting her. I hope to see her again in your show or on screen. ❤❤😘
She was also the first lady in Independence Day. Love youse Katee!!! 🤘😜🎬
Just watched her in Blue Chips a few days ago.
@@joemckim1183 classic!
I'm an old cat and will admit, I was totally in LoVe with Mary McDonnell when I 1st saw her in Dances with Wolves. Her beauty and acting still melts this Tiger's heart. I won't add anymore just in case my wife reads this post.
I love you Mary McDonnell, simply one of the best actor around, I've really enjoyed her performances from Dances with Wolves until now. And her role on The Fall of the House of Usher was also ::chef's kiss::.
Have still to watch it
Mary is an amazing actress. I’ve loved her for decades. Dances With Wolves and BSG are my favorites. God bless her!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mary is a real deal actor - period. Laura Roslin is one of the all time most interesting roles of a “leader” character. So many layers… reluctant, principled, smart, determined, yet flawed at times; but not tragically so, and in service of a greater good. Awesome acting top to bottom 👍
Omg when Mary said “Madeline doesn’t give a frak” ❤❤❤ omg I squealed!
Both of you crushed your roles on BSG! Actually, everyone did. BSG had the best casting, acting, writing, and directing. Just an EPIC show. I just finished probably my fifth time through the whole series and it was as good as ever. I also saw DWW in the theater when it was first released and remember being absolutely captivated by Stands With A Fist. Iconic role.
House of Usher was amazing as well.
Lovely to see you again Madam Preesident.
Mary McDonnell is fracking adorable! So much love to Mary!
One of my favorite movies as a kid was Sneakers, an underrated gem! Mary has quietly played an enormous role in my life through her many awe-inspiring performances. What a wonderful conversation!
top notch film...you have great taste...
What an absolutely beautiful woman. Thanks Katee. Your podcast rocks.
OHEMGEE! I have loved this woman since forever!!!! Thank you for interviewing our Spacemom. She is incomparable. ❤❤❤❤
For me, the minute in the BSG miniseries that Laura went into the bathroom and touched the lump, her reaction had me hooked. I was done after that. Mary was a powerhouse in that series.
I loved this episode with Mary McDonald and listening to her career and I remember that wonderful character stands with a fist that she played in Dance's with Wolves. She's a great actress and a wonderful human being. I can't wait to see who is next on The Sackhoff Show. 👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️
She has a "presence" - any character I've seen her play she is there and can't be avoided. Loved the episode.
Have never been a feminist but I love and admire women. Mary made me see feminism as a gift to humanity, since knowing her and what she believes in. She's such a brilliant actress with a strong voice for women. Loved this ❤ shine on, Mary McDonnell 😍
Mary McDonnell! I was re-watching Sneakers the other day and it took awhile but finally hit me, "omg that's President Roslin!"
Stands with a Fist! We love you Madame President! Major Crimes was and will always be some of the BEST television I have ever seen! ❤
"Major Crimes" is such a great series, easily surpassing "the Closer" which it was spun off from.
I know I'm 20 yrs late to the party and only now binging BSG 04 on Prime, but the show is AWESOME! Didn't know what I was missing back then.
One of my favorite actresses. A movie is always elevated by her presence, no matter the size of her part. Amazing range.
There's an amusing little scene at the end of "Sneakers" with Sidney Poitier where she smiles after saying she's fine - it's such a luminous peaceful smile that it became an iconic moment from that movie for me. Also loved the arc of her character in "Mumford". "The Closer" was one of the few shows I was truly sad to see come to an end.
So pleased that I tripped on this video this morning. Great interview.
I'm rewatching Battlestar Gallactica on Prime Video. It's phenomenal. You're so good as Cara Thrace.
Oh my gosh I hope Mary starts her own podcast too I love listening to her! (And Katee!)
she already had one from 2018-2021! it's called "the Lady BAM Podcast" ❤
@@melissa-co4wh omg thankyou I'm heading to google right now!
@@tauIrrydah you're welcome & enjoy!! she also has an episode with Katee there!
Mary has a potcast calls Ladybam potcast
I hope that Mary restarts her podcast cause I miss hearing her speak.
I forgot how GOOD Mary's voice is! I just find it so captivating and interesting.
Thank you for having Mary on katee I've wanted to hear her since independence day and loved her in bsg
I am so happy you had Mary on! Have loved her for ages.
And such a total Fox!! omg, such a crush! Her presence on screen is captivating. So much information packed into such small movements. ❤
Mary pulls my emotional strings in every damn scene she's in!
Stands with a Fist 💪
Great interview again 👍
🌹 from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.
I'm so excited to watch this. I am literally in the middle of rewatching the final episode of Battlestar Galactica after binge watching the entire series. What an amazing show this was. The writing. The acting. Everything about the show was Superior. It truly was one of the best dramas to ever be on television. It never got the recognition it deserved. Every season, every actor, every writer / director, should have been nominated for Emmys. It's one of the best shows ever!
I'm watching it once a year!
I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Mary when she did a talk for a rep theatre 25th anniversary of Dances, it was so easy to see that she is a beautiful giving loving human being
Mary's voice is so smooth it's crazy
I just love your video and Mary McDonnell. Or should I say Captain Sharon Raydor. ❤❤❤❤
Met her twice in Vancouver and Prince George, and she's amazing and an absolute gem! Been an absolute highlight to speak with her in person.
I met Mary McDonnell once many years ago in a store I was working at. She was very nice and genuinely happy to be recognized.
What a fantastic human being Mary is; and seeing all the BSG cast (including you Katee) and hearing their thoughts goes to show why BSG was such a fantastic and relatable show.
So say we all!
Mary and EJO both brought so much gravitas to the entire show. Their dynamic was a true highlight of the entire series.
Wow, Mary is still a knockout. And so talented. House of Usher my be my new favorite show she's done.
Katee, this is exactly why I said, "first and most importantly, prayers for your daughter", when I saw you at the Motor City con.
The balancing act you do with your family, job, and the fans is incredible.
A big thanks from this fan to your daughter for sharing mommy's time!
You know it was so nice getting to hear her talk about Usher because the strike kind of knocked all of that down. I would’ve loved to know how she felt about Carla Gugino’s performance, being a scene partner and now having watched the whole thing. Same with Bruce cause he came in way late and they felt like brother and sister.
@KateeSackhoffOfficial I found this chat with Mary to be most fascinating and intellectual. You are so right, Mary is like a warm hug. She comes across as someone you would feel comfortable to confide in and she would listen, provide advice with much wisdom and support you. I also enjoyed your hindsight chat and learning more about your feelings and thoughts on acting. More please 🤗👍
Love Mary, she is amazing and so happy that the two of you are friends!
❤ Just fyi this interview is pure gold 👍 Such knowledge and honesty from these 2 badass ladies, I love it.
We met in New Orleans for a FanCon and I am better for it. Thank You for that Mrs. McDonnell.
Lady McDonnell in the House! Absolutely adore her/you Mary!!! Cheers Katee!!! Tricia now Mary!?!?!? Who is next? Love this episode!
I love Mary, I'm from Brazil ❤❤❤
Big fan of Mary, loved this one. And when she said “frak” I laughed so loud😂
I've only seen the BSG mini series before season 1, this is making me want to watch the whole series!
Watch the series. It's so great.
Mary has a way of acting where even when she isn't speaking, she can make it clear whats going on with her character by reading her face and body language.
I love her also in Sneakers with Robert Redford
Yes! Bring back Longmire! There are so many books and good story lines!
Mary McD is a legend
Oh man, I cannot wait to watch this one!!! ❤ Mary is the greatest.
As an actress who “I feel” starting later in life (per the beauty/age standards). How engaged I feel after hearing this. How much I relate to the feeling of always play catch up. And being a mother, having spent my 20s having babies and putting all my dreams in a box for that because I was told by my ex husband I can’t have that and be a good wife and mother. Thank you for this. This was absolutely wonderful and definitely one I will save a listen to again when those feelings creep up 🥰
Can you put the number and the security code on the back of your credit card here on this comment? Katee is Raffling with her fans to pay a visit to them personally, and she need funds for that, to pay for the trip, the stay, and other expenses.
She is an actress that reflects the term Quality, any production she is in, deserves the chance. Amazing at SNEAKERS! BTW, there was a clip at House of Usher, when you have Mark Hamill, Bruce Greenwood and Mrs. McDonnell at it I had a NERD-GASM. I wil never be able to thank Netflix enough for that.
The discussion at 50 min is so real for those of us in the arts. I am a musician and a father and have the same feelings and pressures.
Mary rocked it in “Sneakers”!
So glad for this one
i’m loving this!
I am living for this❤
Katee. Loved Star Wars as a kid. But through my son, became so enamored to all the live action and spin off action…
You got me through Covid, etc. Thank you for your woman power!!!!! And your spirit, so awesome.
I LOVED Dances With Wolves, “Stands with a fist!!!!!!” Absolutely perfect.
Glad we got the video.
I know bsg is 20 years old now and the cast may grow weary talking about it, but 10min of bsg fan service during your interviews would be awesome and so appreciated. Great show!
I'm in the middle of listening to this in my car, and it's fantastic. Actually, I think one of the best things she ever did was in the movie, "Sneakers."
My god. She looks amazing.
My President !!!!! About time ladies 🩷
Loving the channel Katee ! Keep up the great content!
I need a part 2!!!!
You get better every time I listen/watch your podcast. Mary was amazing and you were so good at guiding the conversation. The mutual respect was clearly shown.
A very honest and warm interview! Such a beautiful interaction between the two of you. I truly enjoyed it!
A great interview I really enjoyed the conversation. Thank you.
As a Canadian, I can say 100% that BSG is on Amazon Prime in this country. That said, I still just watch my DVDs of the show. Loved this interview and really hope there's more video interviews going forward. Plus, please come to Ottawa Comic Con (again here in Canada) because I know all my friends and I would just love a Q&A panel with you!
Great interview with Mary this week, I really enjoyed it.
Best interview thus far.
Another wonderful conversation.
Katee, your interview skills are stunning! Thank you, please post more.
Love Katee. Thanks for doing these, I know you're busy. It's great to see famous people being themselves. It's easy for us non celebrities to somehow forget you are real people. Please keep these up.
I love this video so much ❤
I know you read these from time to time, and yes, I am definitely one of the people waiting for this interview (right behind the talk with Trisha too). I'm also, I think as I have mentioned on other posts, one of the ones that watched the original BSG (actually saw the original pilot in a theater in Canada in 1978) who was skeptical, at best, with a woman playing Starbuck. As is everyone else who doubted, I was very very fracking wrong.
As I've watched these I also have been consuming BSG again...to the point I'm getting about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. With absolutely no offense to Dirk Benedict, your portrayal of Starbuck is nothing short of Amazing. Tips from Edward (I can't bring myself to think of him as "Eddie" any more than I can the people who call Robert DeNiro "Bobby"...just seems disrespectful for someone not privileged enough to know him) and other truly great talents along your path, which you took to heart and added to the toolbelt, have molded you, along with your natural skills, into a brilliant actor.
Thank you for all of this...this glimpse to to these people along your path, as well as into who you are as a person...not just an actor. I'm watching the penultimate episode of the series as a write this with completely fresh, if not a little blurry eyes (must be a high pollen count). You are amazing, and so is the rest of the cast, and I am grateful to this podcast and your body of work to allow me to follow along on your journey.
So say we all!
I love love this podcast. All of your episodes. And this one especially made me cry. Both of you are amazing role models. My daughter is going into AV production and wants to be a voice actor. Thank you for showing there are healthy ways to pursue this path.
Katee, you are doing a fabulous job at this. It's a real talent to ask a question, and then actually shut-up long enough to let the person answer. And it's hard, but you are doing great.
Two of my favorites.
Katee… thank you for giving this to us🙏🏼 The two of you are absolutely precious and I feel like I just sat down with my girlfriends for good conversation, and came out of feeling empowered. Additionally, I’m glad you have a mind as dirty as me🤣 Many thanks to Mary and to you and Robin🙏🏼
Can you get Eddie? :)
Mary McDonnell's hair is an event!
I watched HoU because of MM and I'm glad I did; both were great. The 'do looks fine; you're still in my spank bank. KS: love what you've done, are doing, and looking forward to what you will do. Only recently discovered you on RUclips and am enjoying catching up. Thank you!
