Judith Light joins "Salon Talks" to discuss her film "The Menu," which co-stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult. The Emmy and Tony Award winner tells Salon's Mary Elizabeth Williams how acting in thrillers allows her to explore meaningful themes like women aging, mental illness and class, though she never set out to work in this genre. Light, whose career started in theatre, and who is known for her roles in television shows like "Who's the Boss?" "Transparent" and "Shining Vale," calls this time in her life her "crone years" and shares some of her wisdom about facing fear head-on: "You ask anybody, in the dead of night, in their heart of hearts, are they scared? Of course we're scared. So what?"
