This week on Cocktails at Table 7- Inside New York’s Joe Allen, Dana, Sean and Jason enjoyed a fascinating and revealing conversation with legendary actress and force of nature, Marsha Mason! We discussed the vibe at Joe Allen when it first opened, Marsha’s wild early gig as a ‘Doxie’ on the iconic ‘Dark Shadows,' how her time at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco prepared her for almost any role, and how an out of the blue audition for a Neil Simon play changed the course of her life. We also learned about Marsha’s passion for race cars, her life in New Mexico as an organic farmer and developer of herbal wellness products, and her surprise personal and professional connection to Table 7.
Marsha Mason is a critically acclaimed actress who made her Broadway debut in Cactus Flower in 1966. She has appeared in over 30 feature films and is a four-time Academy Award nominee for her work in Cinderella Liberty, The Goodbye Girl, Chapter Two and Only When I Laugh.
