Little Known Facts is a weekly podcast hosted by stage and film actress Ilana Levine. With over 250 interviews to date with today's most successful artists, Levine engages her celebrity guests in intimate conversations that are hilarious, vulnerable, revealing and inspiring.

This week's guest is Jeffrey Richman, who talked about his friendship with Patti LuPone, his career, the show Uncoupled, and more.

"She's truly been my best friend for 47 years, since the summer of 1977," Richman said of LuPone. "We just met, and it's never happened to me like that before, and we just became inseparable. And we never weren't as close as we are today."

"She was living with me when she got Evita," he revealed. "Evita had already been a production in London and they were casting the American company, and she was practicing her three songs she was going to sing in my house."
