Rachel Brosnahan received the Emmy for best actress in a comedy series for her work on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Mrs. Maisel resonated with viewers because the show is equal parts fantasy and reality. It is about transformation, which is a relatable theme for most women. The message is that it's never too late to begin again.
Also, the show is hysterical, being both funny and inspirational, which is a rare combination. Brosnahan is the niece of the late handbag designer, Kate Spade. Her first movie role was as Lisa in the Michael Bay-produced horror movie, The Unborn.
