Holland Taylor shares her and her girlfriend Sarah Paulson's love for Seth's dog Frisbee, talks about why her play Ann is the greatest achievement of her life and reveals why she still gets approached because of her role in Legally Blonde.

ANN is a no-holds-barred portrait of Ann Richards, the legendary governor of Texas. This inspiring and hilarious new play brings us face to face with a complex, colorful and captivating character bigger than the state from which she hailed.

After playing throughout Texas to sold-out audiences, ANN went on to win critical acclaim in Chicago, at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and on Broadway at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater.
