In the new season of The White Lotus, Natasha Rothwell reprises her role of spa manager Belinda, a woman "on the precipice of change" as she straddles the line between guest and staffer. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about filming in Thailand, the cancellation of her show How to Die Alone, and getting cast as the hilarious Kelli on Insecure. Also, we remember Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman who died this week at age 95. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices NPR Privacy Policy

  • This message comes from the Boston Globe's chart topping podcast, Love Letters.

  • In this season,

  • host and advice columnist Meredith Goldstein explores a big question, can people change?

  • And if so, how?

  • Follow Love Letters from the Boston Globe wherever you get your podcasts.

  • This is FRESH air.

  • I'm Tonya Mosley.

  • This has been quite a year so far for my guest Natasha Rothwell.

  • She returns to the third season of the popular HBO show the White Lotus.

  • And just this past weekend, her Hulu series How to Die Alone, which she created and starred in,

  • won an Independent Spirit award for best ensemble cast and a new scripted series.

  • But that win is bittersweet because the show,

  • which premiered last September, was canceled after just one season.

  • While Rothwell's return to the White Lotus signals a deeper dive

  • into the tension between entitlement

  • and servitude,

  • which has been present along with murder in every season of the show,

  • it follows the storyline of seemingly picture perfect travelers

  • with various dysfunctions who go to the White Lotus resort to escape.

  • In the first season, Rothwell's character, Belinda, is a spa manager.
