Chicagoist Podcast 10/19 - "A Serious Man's" Amy Landecker

By Karl Klockars in Arts & Entertainment on Oct 19, 2009 8:40PM

Hot on the heels of last week's star-studded podcast, we follow it up this week with a bit more of a localish-celebrity angle. (No, not Billy Dec.) Amy Landecker is in the new Coen Brothers movie "A Serious Man" and you may also recognize her from her memorable turn as drunken-wife Petra Colson on Mad Men. But for many Chicagoans, she'll always be the daughter of legendary radio personality John Records Landecker.

We caught up with Amy as the press machine is winding itself up around her role as Mrs. Samsky and her...um, "wardrobe." You can get merkin-related information elsewhere - we spent some time catching up with Amy about the movie, about life as a Landecker, about her roles that keep her stuck in the 60s, and her Chicago life.
