Amanda Righetti joins Mark Joseph for a new conversation about portraying Ronald Reagan’s mother, Nelle Reagan, in the REAGAN Movie, the challenges of filming during the height of COVID, and the emotional family dynamics that shaped Reagan’s early life. Amanda reflects on researching Nelle’s faith, resilience, and marriage to Reagan’s alcoholic father, while also sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the set; from period costumes and Model T cars to daily testing, masks, and the surreal atmosphere of pandemic-era filmmaking.
The conversation also explores Amanda’s journey from modeling in Japan as a teenager to starring in The O.C., North Shore, The Mentalist, and her current work on Scarpetta. Along the way, Mark and Amanda discuss how Hollywood has changed after COVID, the rise of self-tape auditions, female-led productions, AI’s impact on acting, parenting in the digital age, and why deeply human stories matter more than ever.
