Meet Nancy and Beth, aka Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt

When the actresses met a few years back, they bonded over their love of music, and it led to the formation of their eclectic act; the Writers Guild of America filed suit today against Hollywood's major talent agencies, claiming some of their practices violate state law.

On today's show:

Nancy and Beth and Megan and Stephanie

(Starts at 8:00)

Megan Mullally and Stephanie Hunt front the rollicking eclectic band, Nancy and Beth. Best known as a comedic actor on the series “Will & Grace,” Mullaly is also a talented musician. Along with Hunt (“Friday Night Lights”), Nancy and Beth released their first album two years ago and have since played at a range of venues, including UCLA’s Royce Hall and Lincoln Center. The duo is self-described as "punk-vaudeville" and infuses comedic choreography into their performance of cover songs. They came to KPCC's Crawford Family Forum for an interview with John Horn and a performance before an audience.
