    Rita Wilson won our hearts in “Sleepless in Seattle” and “That Thing You Do,” as well as producing the sleeper hit “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” But as she explains to Melissa Rivers, singing and songwriting have truly allowed her to find her voice. Rita talks about creating her fifth studio album, “Sound of a Woman,” and the advice she took from Oprah Winfrey that set her on her path in music. She also looks back at her early days in showbiz and reveals that she never intended to become an actress, until a fluke audition as a cheerleader on “The Brady Bunch” launched her career. 00:00 Rita Wilson on Her New Album Sound of a Woman00:59 Touring Europe and Finding an International Audience02:43 How Rita Wilson Started Her Music Career05:15 The Songs Rita Wishes She Had Written07:19 Hollywood High, Cheerleading and Growing Up in LA08:33 Rita Wilson Remembers The Brady Bunch12:02 The Accidental Audition That Started Her Career14:53 Was Any of This Career Actually Planned?15:43 How Rita Wilson Ended Up on Broadway in Chicago19:35 Returning to Broadway and Working With Larry David21:13 Acting, Producing, Singing and Finding Her Own Voice22:54 Performing With Joni Mitchell 50 Years After Graduation25:17 How Rita Wilson Finally Found Her Voice26:35 Life With Tom Hanks and His Favorite Obsessions27:27 What Rita Wilson Nerds Out About29:49 Rita Wilson on Turning 7030:23 Why We Need to Stop Being Afraid of Aging31:50 Stranger With Age and the Freedom That Comes With Getting Older33:37 Melissa and Rita Wrap Up This podcast is a Hurrdat Media production.

    Inside the Real Wolf of Wall Street: The Story Hollywood Didn't Tell
    2026/07/28
    Hollywood made it look glamorous. Donna Schlessinger lived the reality. This week, Melissa Rivers sits down with one of the few women who worked at Jordan Belfort's infamous Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm to discuss Paramount +'s The Real Wolf of Wall Street. While Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio's The Wolf of Wall Street glamorized the sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll lifestyle of the infamous "Boiler Room," Donna says the reality led to far more pain, trouble, and even death for many of its employees.
