Ruth Codd, who plays Anya in Netflix’s The Midnight Club, says there’s power in being who you are. And who she is, especially as she steps into this new phase of her career, is so much more than her disability.

David Sedaris’ previous book, Calypso, came out in 2018 — before the world turned upside down. Before we entered a lockdown and he was forced to stop touring and reading to live audiences, one of his favorite things in the world. Before his last living parent, his father, died, leaving him grappling with the ruins of their dysfunctional relationship. So, it’s understandable that his new collection of essays, Happy-Go-Lucky, has a darker edge that’s the polar opposite of its title.

On NBC’s hit workplace comedy The Office, series regulars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey played polar-opposite characters.
