Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor. In this episode, we explore the career of Christine Baranski. Best known for her roles as Tanya in the Mamma Mia! films, Martha May Whovier in How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and Diane Lockhart in the Good Wife/Fight (2009-2022), Baranski has built a successful career on screen and on the stage. Joined once again by Krystal Clark, we discuss her stage acting roots inspired by her Polish grandparents, her transformation as a blue collar Buffalo native to a notoriously pompous character on-screen, contemplate what white people do on private islands, and marvel at how she classes up the joint on every one of her projects. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

If you ask people to describe Christine Baranski, one word rises to the top: sophisticated. That's no accident; the actress has spent a lifetime refining her image and her craft. For the past 13 years, Baranski has played Diane Lockhart, a savvy and assertive attorney on the CBS television series The Good Wife and its spin-off The Good Fight . And just like her character, Baranski is a trailblazer herself. With women making up only 3% of major TV characters 60 and over, she's carved out a path for other actresses to follow. In this episode, host Brittany Luse talks with Baranski about The Good Fight for women in Hollywood. Follow us on Twitter @NPRItsBeenAMin or email us at ibam@npr.org .
