On this week's episode of We Really Like Her!'s FONDAVISION miniseries, Emily & Danita travel back in time to the depressing, depression-era La Monica Ballroom. What do today's reality shows have in common with the cruel dance marathons of the 1920s & '30s? How much did Jane draw from her personal life to craft the complex, cynical Gloria? And was this role the real catalyst for both the next decade of her career and her activism?
