Those pay bumps for full body makeup are no joke!

I feel like being “Jenna Maloney” is a tough sell in the entertainment industry when there’s already a pretty prominent Jena Malone

Would a bad mom have raised a daughter who was engaged to a congressman at 16??

Jenna Maroney would absolutely land a role as "sunburned bikini girl in the background of every episode on The Pitt"

Very cool that Noah Wyle wrote another scene for her, and helped coach/direct her through it! And that he set such a positive, supportive vibe on set. Especially because his character has been a real b****** this season! (No spoilers please - I haven't fully caught up yet!)

I like it when I hear about someone famous, who I have long imagined to be a kind and generous person, actually being kind and generous in real life. Gives me a little more faith in humanity.

I feel like this when I see characters being really good with kids. I hope they are really that good and it’s not just an act.

Totally. Like John Candy. He always appeared to be amazing with kids, then we find out that he really was. He was a good one.

I read a story recently about Katlin Olsen on the show High Potential. She has two kids on the show and they talked about she was helping them and how nice she is. It was super wholesome.

That makeup was amazing! I can tell you from experience that a burn like that is achievable… blisters forthcoming.

She's been all over threads. I've been enjoying how much fun she's been having with all this.

I didnt see the show, but if it helps teens be aware of the dangers of the sun, tanning and skin cancer, what a wonderful thing to do. Congrats on the gig, good luck in yoir future career!

Such a serious show, she was the best sight gag. Glad she's having fun with all this

She was my favorite background character. Made me laugh out loud every time they’d have her walk past a window or something
