Marsha Stephanie Blake logs onto the Zoom call looking like a million bucks. It’s noon on a weekday in December and the “I’m Your Woman” actress is calling from New York, where among other things this year she’s celebrated virtual movie premieres, attended protests, sewed masks for essential workers, campaigned to get out the vote and filmed a Netflix show inside her home with her family during the pandemic.
In such an unprecedented year, multitasking has been a big part of Blake’s life. “I was getting all dressed up because I have to tape an audition,” she explains with a laugh. “Normally just to talk to you I would not look like this. I would look like I’m in remote school all day long, with a first grader!”
