We’ve seen Sharon Gless act in Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk, Burn Notice, and countless other shows and movies. Now, she opens up completely in Apparently There Were Complaints, a hilarious, deeply personal memoir that talks about her 50-year career in Hollywood.

Fans say the role Gless played as policewoman Christine Cagney in the hit television series Cagney & Lacey (1981-1988) was a perfect display of women working in a male-dominated environment, but who were relatable as real women.

Some may also remember Gless and her Cagney & Lacey co-star Tyne Daly for their 1999 special performance of You’re Nothing Without Me from the musical comedy, City of Angels.

In this episode of Town Square, Gless, a two-time Emmy and two-time Golden Globe Award winner, shares a relatable, heart-felt understanding of how some of her iconic roles have left a lasting impression on society and American culture — giving our audience a behind-the-scenes glimpse into her life on and off camera.

Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues.

We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.
