On last night's episode of The Late Late Show, James Corden connects with Laura Linney, who is safe in quarantine, to talk about her career and the show she currently stars in on Netflix, Ozark, which recently premiered its third season.

During the interview, Linney spoke briefly about her ending her Broadway run in My Name is Lucy Barton, saying, "I had just finished my show, and then two weeks later, they closed everything down."

Corden later asks Linney what big career break was, and she replied, "For me, it was getting into drama school. It was getting into Juilliard, for me that made all the difference."
