Is Elisabeth Moss the queen of all Scientologists? 05.05.2025

Today, we're diving deep into the eccentricities of one Elisabeth Moss, the star behind such feminist-forward series as Mad Men and The Handmaid's Tale, and how her not so low-key Scientologist life contradicts her choice of roles, and how her love life only makes things...more questionable. Really, though, we just devolve into raving about our love of Mad Men. Why not?! P.S. Once you're done list...
