GLOWhas never been a show that shies away from tackling important issues.
And season 3 continues to expand on that, thanks to the addition ofGeena Davis.
Shes also the perfect lens through whichGLOWtakes on ageism, especially in the entertainment industry.

I watched it and loved it.
But they actually reached out to me with this idea.
I thought it sounded really cool and immediately signed on.
That really enticed me.
She was able to land a high-powered position, which showed her mettle.
To create roles for yourself, she does lots of other things too but thats the ultimate power.
I applaud her for that.
Thats just wrong that things drop off so precipitously for women as they get older.
But Im happy with all the people that are getting into directing and producing because of that.
I latch onto her and then she latches onto me.
We work on some of those challenges together.
Im pretty tough, and I lay down for her how tough shes going to have to be.
But finally, finally we do work out a great way of relating to each other.
This show does so much to show different kinds of female relationships and highlight womens strengths and ambitions.
Its such a pleasure to help do that.
She thought it was a great step in the right direction and absolutely loved it and loved Vegas.
How do you feel about Vegas compared to Sandy?I love it.
I only really go for the weekend or a couple of days.
I certainly dont love it as much as Sandy does, though!
GLOWseason 3 premieres Aug. 9 on Netflix.
