Overview

  • She told Glamour that skipping Botox leads casting directors to offer her more mature, complex parts, including roles in The Gilded Age and The White Lotus.
  • She argues that authenticity surpasses cosmetic alterations and opts for science-based skincare rather than injectables due to safety concerns.
  • Her deep, trained voice cultivated through stage work adds gravitas to her performances and influences perceptions of her on screen.
  • Despite her on-screen seriousness, she describes herself as a “goofball” off camera, rarely getting to show her playful side in the characters she portrays.
  • She passes no judgment on peers who choose cosmetic procedures and urges emerging talent to embrace natural aging rather than conform to Hollywood beauty standards.
