In 2022, as Betty would have celebrated her 100th birthday, Andrea turned 50—Half Betty’s age. This milestone sparked a powerful reflection: Betty White achieved more between 50 and 100 than in her first 50 years, suggesting that midlife is not an end but a bold, new beginning. Inspired by Betty’s legacy, Andrea saw turning 50 as the gateway to a second, even greater life chapter - one full of possibility, reimagination, and purpose. This vision gave rise to Half Betty, a bold and vibrant community where midlife women come together to feel supported, inspired, informed, and deeply valued. It’s a space where the stories of their next chapter take shape and the extraordinary potential of their second scene unfolds.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-21T06:22:17.256145+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/half-betty-7116758"},"episode":{"title":"Patti Henderson: Starting My Third Life","slug":"patti-henderson-starting-my-third-life","published_at":"2025-08-17T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/half-betty-7116758/patti-henderson-starting-my-third-life","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/half-betty-7116758","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/c92cefa1","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/c92cefa1/e4d4fda7.mp3","summary":"Some people play it safe. Costume designer Patti Henderson has built her life on anything but. In this episode of Half Betty , we sit down with the celebrated film and television costume designer whose work has been featured at Cannes, Sundance, and Tribeca Film Festivals, and on productions for Amblin Entertainment, Amazon Studios, and Universal Pictures. Patti’s credits include Under the Bridge, Flag Day, Totally Killer, and Nobody - but her most captivating stories happen off-screen. Along the way, she has found inspiration and connection with remarkable women, including her neighbour on Vancouver Island, Pamela Anderson, whose own journey of reinvention after heartbreak resonated deeply with Patti, and Diane Keaton, whose collaboration and creative influence during Patti’s early film work left a lasting impression. Patti has lived three distinct lives: first as a stay-at-home mom, then as a creative powerhouse in the entertainment industry, and now as a woman embracing midlife reinvention and self-discovery. She shares how boldness shaped her career - and sometimes cost her work - and how on-the-job experience became her film school. We explore her views on feminism, industry double standards, and how recovery transformed her leadership, her creativity, and her life. Whether you’re curious about the art of costume design, the resilience it takes to thrive in the film industry, or the courage it takes to start over in midlife, this conversation is filled with inspiration, creative insight, and the reminder that it’s never over until you say it is.
