Overshadowed

Michelle Williams and Sam Rockwell in Fosse/Verdon / Frida Kahlo's "Self Portrait as a Tehuana" (1943)

Creative women, married to gifted men, have often faced obstacles to finding the spotlight themselves. As WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us in this episode of Fishko Files, that story is coming to us through some cultural offerings this spring.

Fosse/Verdon is on demand on FX and airs Tuesday nights at 10pm.

Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving runs at the Brooklyn Museum through May 12.

Lee Krasner: Living Colour opens at the Barbican Art Gallery in London on May 30 and runs through September 1. The accompanying book is available for pre-order on Amazon.
