Episode 8: Marcia Sossoman King/Buckskin Girl with guest reader Mercedes Rose

She Goes By Jane

As one of the most recognizable Jane Does, she was known as Buckskin Girl for 37 years, until one day, that changed. We talk about who she is and what it took to give her her name back.

This week we’re joined by actress and voice actor Mercedes Rose. Mercedes has appeared in films such as What the Bleep Do We Know? and television shows like Portlandia and Leverage. She’s also done voice-over work, most notably for Rosalina in several Nintendo titles, and is the one of the stars and creators of Haunting of a Sunshine Girl. Find her on Instagram.
