“No one’s a stereotype of the strong person or the weak person. We know that we are those people, all day long,” says Hendricks, who has played Beth Boland on the series since 2018.

“I think that a woman can be so many different things and the more you show all those different sides to her, people respond to that as strength because it feels real,” says the actress.

The series also stars Retta, Mae Whitman, Lidya Jewett, Reno Wilson and Manny Montana.

The star compares her evolution as an actress since herMad Mendays to the woman she is now while marveling at her accomplishments. “I think I learned how to acknowledge my own contribution to things and that it was far more important than I had given myself credit for,” Hendricks admits.

“I learned that I love a challenge and that I can rise to it,” she adds.
