Years ago, Carrie Preston penned a list of goals for her future self: among them, to be an actress. With that item now ticked, the star of TNT’s Claws (season 2 premieres June 10 at 9 p.m.) reveals she still carries the list “to remind me of who I was.”
Preston, 50, wed to actor Michael Emerson, tells Us more.
Shady Lady
“[Costar] Karrueche Tran, who we’re all smitten with, gave us sunglasses from Privé Revaux that we got to pick out. Mine have lattice work on the sides.”
Paper Pusher
“I have a script with me that has notes. I like to have it in person. I’m old school and don’t use the apps, which a lot of people do.”
Here Comes the Sun
“Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen makes me feel like I’m getting supersonic protection because I am so, so pale and need all the help I can get!”
S(t)ack It Up
“I like to carry bags inside bags inside bags. My wallet is a purse you can wear crossbody. You can only get it in a mom-and-pop store in New York called Domus.”
Messing Around
“I’m always spilling on myself, so I have a Tide pen. I use it pretty often!”
Fresh Air
“I carry Listerine strips because I’m an actor and I’m all up in people’s faces.”
