Drake is a two-time Telly award-winning host and media personality, who hosts “The Donna Drake Show,” which airs on CBS New York. Drake chatted with veteran actress and horror icon Lin Shaye about her journey in the entertainment industry, where Shaye has played hundreds of characters, and the iconic actress shared that she has found joy in all of them.

Shaye also gave a special shoutout to such influential directors as her brother, Bob Shaye, as well as Peter Farrelly, James Wan, and Leigh Whannell.

“My big brother, Bob Shaye, changed my life and gave me tremendous early opportunities in my work. God bless his heart, he has given me wonderful support in terms of my work,” she said. “They have resurrected my artistic abilities in my career, and they also gave me tremendous opportunities and that really led me into the horror genre.”
