So excited for you all to hear my talk with the legend herself, ELISA DONOVAN. She starred as the iconic fashion queen, Amber, in both the film and TV versions of "CLUELESS," which literally defined a generation and continues to be one of the most influential media juggernauts, maybe ever. She played the ultimate bad girl, Ginger, on "Beverly Hills 90210," one of my earliest and most intense television obsessions, and she starred for three seasons on one of the very best TGIF staples, "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." She’s appeared in dozens of other shows and movies, and she’s also an incredibly talented writer and producer, and an outspoken advocate for eating disorder recovery, which we talk a lot about in this episode. Please welcome the incredible, Elisa Donovan.

Hi! Hello! Whoa, I made a podcast! I’ve been looking for a way to share stories of some of the amazing, badass women I’ve been lucky enough to meet as a freelance journalist (who I’m not always able to write about for whatever reason). So I’m sharing interviews via this new project I’m calling By a Thread (as in, no matter how put together someone looks, chances are they sometimes feel like they’re barely hanging on. And also thread, stories, storytelling, you get it!).
