Emmy-winning actress Rachel Brosnahan may be from the Midwest, but she’s all Manhattan in the 1950s-set “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” For the third season, premiering on Amazon this month, she returns as Miriam “Midge” Maisel, an uptown housewife with a flair for stand-up comedy. Off screen, the 29-year-old, who is married to actor Jason Ralph, volunteers with Covenant House, a charity supporting homeless youth. “They provide food, safe shelter, clean clothing … and so much more, with absolute respect and unconditional love,” Brosnahan tells Alexa. Here she shares a few of her favorite things.
