The Treatment
Molly Shannon: Other People
Actress Molly Shannon discusses her departure from comedy in emotional new film Other People.
Actress Molly Shannon spent six years on Saturday Night Live cultivating her own sharply comedic characters like Mary Catherine Gallagher and Sally O'Malley but has always considered herself a "dramatic comedian." She channels just that in her most recent role as a mother dying of cancer in Other People. She visits The Treatment to discuss the bizarre experience filming scenes as a corpse and the emotional connection she had with director and fellow SNL alum Chris Kelly over maintaining humor through tragedy in each of their lives.
