These days it involves pixels instead of paper but if you're a working actor, you still need a good headshot -- which means there are still photographers who specialize in capturing that perfect picture. KCRW's Saul Gonzalez spent time with some headshot pros, and tells us how the industry's evolving. And if you have a Thursday-night viewing habit that includes Grey's Anatomy,Scandal and/or How to Get Away with Murder, you are watching shows from Shonda Rhimes and our guest, producer Betsy Beers. Beers tells us how she moved from acting to film development to producing one of the most popular nights on television. Plus, an awards-themed Hollywood news banter.
