Luna Lauren Vélez on Dating After 50, Menopause & Midlife

Dating after fifty is a trip, and Luna Lauren Vélez minces no words about it. The Brooklyn-born Afro-Latina actress and identical twin has spent three decades in HBO prison dramas, Showtime crime thrillers and animation: Oz, New York Undercover, Dexter, Power Book II: Ghost and American Rust, plus the voice of Rio Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse. She was recently on stage in John Leguizamo's The Other Americans, has performed her one-woman show about the Cuban singer La Lupe for twenty years and wrote, produced and starred in a film with her twin sister in her sixties. She is still booking leads and still, in most rooms she walks into, the only Afro-Latina. Midlife, dating and menopause from a woman who is aging into her roles. Talk Fifty to Me is midlife unfiltered: honest, often hilarious conversations for women over 50, hosted by Constance Zimmer and Heidi Clements. New episodes every Tuesday.
