- Ann Richards changed the world by making it better for many who had been discriminated against or marginalized. She was sharp and witty, and she got things done. Holland Taylor changes the world through her art. She is an Emmy award winning actress who has written and stars in a one woman show about Ann Richards. We went to see Holland bring Ann Richards to life on Broadway. We ended up getting 2 Smart Girls for the price of one.
I was there the night Ann Richards gave her victory speech the night she became governor of Texas. Should be noted she was introduced to the stage by the first openly gay man to serve in the Texas Legislature, Glen Maxey. This was inspirational to me as a 9 year old closeted gay kid to get involved in politics some 18 years later. I now chair a City of Austin Commission that worked to end discrimination.
I loved Ann Richards so much, and this play was flawless! I’m still sad that she didn’t run for President. I think she was (and still is) just what this country needs.
I saw, I loved, I told everyone I could to see this absolutely fabulous performance. Ann Richards was portrayed flawlessly
If Ann Richards were still alive, she would put Rick Perry over her knee, and rightly so. I can't believe how TX went from her to him. (love the dance parties!) Holland Taylor is a delight!
Hi! My name is Jackie and I am 18 years old. I just want to start off by saying that you are probably my favorite person in the whole world. Seriously! Whenever I'm upset or having a bad day I go watch an episode of parks and rec or my favorite movie ever (Baby Mama) just to take my mind off of some things and have a good laugh :) You are so funny.. you're like the modern version of lucille ball- and I definitely won't say that about just anyone! I understand that you're very busy and probably won't even have the chance to read this, but I just really wanted you to know that. I think you are an amazing woman and I hope to grow up to be like you someday. Love you Amy! :)
I totally agree!!! Amy Poehler, you are amazing!!!
Amy, you are one smart girl so I know you realize how important this timing is as we fight for women's rights in Texas today (as we have been fighting all through June). Thank you for highlighting Holland Taylor and Ann Richards. These women give us strength!
Love, Corey Leamon
FABULOUS PHENOMENAL
I love this woman! What a 🧨! She is so talented and wise. Watch this interview!
LOVE IT! Thank you for changing the world by being yourself!
I've loved and admired Ann Richards since I first heard her speak, when I was stationed in Texas in 1980.
I've loved and lusted for Holland Taylor since "Bosom Buddies".
The show is amazing!
Thanks, Amy!!
Let's put it behind us. We're just happy you found us. Please WATCH, LOVE, and SHARE! :)
Watched last night on PBS. Outstanding!!!!!!!!
I saw the Gov live in Baltimore MD in 1992. She was AMAZING. I was awestruck at how to the point she spoke on issues but also with that Texas drawl and expression.
How could we not make them?!? There are so many people putting nice things in the world! We just hope this inspires others to do the same. Thank you for your kind words!
I don't understand how it's possible; but I fall more in love with Amy Poehler every bloody time I see her! Thanks for showing me the type of career woman I aspire to be. And thanks for the laughs, too.
This is fabulous
Wow, I'm so glad and grateful that people put effort and time into making these videos. It really gives me more faith in the world and I get to hear about stories that I wouldn't have heard about.
WOW I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS. A WONDERFUL ACTRESS TO PLAY THIS PART.
This is so beautiful. I want to run to New York right now to watch it.
i really appreciate that not only do you make feminist videos for young girls, you also aren't afraid to use the word "feminist" in it! its a nice change on an internet that treats feminism like a bad word!
They're all just such beautiful people.
aw I am crying happy tears at the joy and wisdom you bring, Thank you!
THANK YOU!
Ann Richards was one of a kind and Holland Taylor is at the top of her game in this play. This is what great acting looks like!!
Thank YOU for shining a light on the life and legacy of an incredible woman!
This is beautiful work you all are doing. Sincere thank you's!!
We're so glad that you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more videos soon!
Very inspiring 10/10
So so awesome, thanks Smartgirls.
Thank you for all the kind words!
Unfortunately, we aren't currently hiring, but definitely keep checking back.
I loved Ann, I love Holland, and boy, I am positively nuts about you and what you're doing here with the Smart Girls thing. My daughter is 10, in love with Lucille Ball and Lily Tomlin and recently announced that "I don't want to be famous, but I do want to be a comedic actress." Ha! We're working our way up through SNL's history, and I'm introducing her to the greats, you included. Thanks for what you're doing for her and girls everywhere. I think you're amazing.
Ann Richards is that woman!
Beautiful women in the widest sense
I'm just hearing about this for the first time; love it and please tell me that someone has the sense to be making this (a) movie?
Wow!
how am i just finding this channel?
Good
Are you looking for interns for smart girls? I would love to apply if this is available!!! :D This was also a wonderful episode. This is my favorite youtube show!
All was good until you asked if it was a matter of a haunted house &..jesus, I can't remember what else..but Amy..come on..choosing between a haunted house & such important issues..yet, you knew all & supported all..why do you deflect?
Makes me proud to be a Texan. Woot woot!!
