The Gilded Age
Last summer the city of Troy, New York, was transformed into late-19th century New York City for the filming of Julian Fellowes’ new HBO period drama “The Gilded Age.” But that wasn’t the only Capital Region connection to the production. Actress Kelley Curran, who plays the ambitious ladies maid Turner in the series, grew up in Slingerlands.
On this episode of “The Eagle,” Curran talks to reporter Ken Crowe about the show, her role and how she felt about seeing Troy on the small screen.
Also on this episode, New York State Public Radio’s Karen DeWitt talks about her experience as the longest tenured woman in the state’s Capitol press corps, and what it’s like to be a female reporter now that Gov. Kathy Hochul is in charge.
