Amy Sherman-Palladino & Daniel Palladino on 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel'
Amazon’s ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ tells the story of Midge Maisel--the perfect well-to-do 1950’s New York housewife who turns to stand-up comedy when her husband leaves her.
By Kim Masters • • 28m Listen‘Gilmore Girls’ creator Amy Sherman-Palladino just picked up a Golden Globe for her newest series, ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.’ What’s especially marvelous to Sherman-Palladino is that Amazon has given her and her husband Daniel Palladino the budget to shoot a period show in New York and to license original recordings from such icons as Barbra Streisand and Peggy Lee. They tell us about lovingly creating 1950s Manhattan, picking the music and hiring dancers to be extras. Plus, an all awards-season banter in an unpredictable year.
