Made It Out

This week Mal sits down with Ilene Chaiken, the creator of The L Word and pioneer of lesbian representation in media. She opens up about being a queer woman in Hollywood, how The L Word was inspired by her real-life friend group, and what it meant to put lesbian stories on screen before anyone else was doing it. PLUS, she answers the burning questions everyone is dying to know, including, does she regret killing Dana?!
