Audra McDonald
Audra McDonald is a four-time Tony Award-winning American actress and singer. The Berlin-born, Fresno, California-raised mezzo-soprano began her performing career at age 9 in local dinner theaters. At the urging of her parents, McDonald enrolled at Juilliard, but she secretly harbored the desire to perform on Broadway. Taking what she termed a "mental sabbatical," McDonald auditioned for and landed a role in the touring company of the musical "The Secret Garden." Today, she joins Martha to chat about her two projects: "Private Practice" and the ABC World Premiere Movie Event "A Raisin in the Sun." She will also make a Simple Supper: Lemon Roasted Chicken with Arugula Salad and Dilled Orzo.

Alison Murray
Alison Murray, of Bideford, England, has been knitting since childhood and was trained at Barnet College in Art and Design. She opened her own shop in London in the 1980s selling structural knitwear. Since 2005, she has raised money for the North Devon Hospice and the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children in London, a children's hospital that has been functioning since Victorian times.
