Martha Plimpton

Studio 360

Martha Plimpton may be the hardest working woman in show business, appearing in two television series after finishing a run on Broadway and selling out a cabaret show at Lincoln Center a few months ago. She’s been on stage since she was eight years old, and she shares with Kurt her thoughts on how that helped – or hindered – her growing up.

Plus: Plimpton performs Bruce Springsteen’s “Thunder Road.”
