Overview

  • Carrie Coon told Glamour that her lower voice and choice to forgo Botox lead casting directors to perceive her as older, resulting in roles like Bertha Russell in The Gilded Age and Laurie in The White Lotus season three.
  • She argues that authenticity resonates more than cosmetic procedures and hopes emerging actors will resist industry pressure to undergo injectables.
  • Coon prefers science-based skincare over facial injections, describing injectables as 'scary and strange.'
  • The actress emphasizes the importance of women being fully voiced to command authority and credits her vocal training for her on-screen gravitas.
  • She is currently filming the third season of HBO’s 'The Gilded Age' and intends to maintain her status as a character actor rather than pursue traditional leading roles.
