Emma Kenney likes to give back. “I carry gift cards that I pass out to homeless people,” the 19-year-old star of ABC’s The Conners and Showtime’s Shameless reveals, noting she likes knowing they’ll use the cards for necessities like food and drugstore items.

That’s the Spirit
“I carry a kabbalah red string from a friend in my wallet. It’s supposed to ward off bad luck.”
Best Binge
“My mom got me a Kindle for my birthday. I just started Big Little Lies [by Liane Moriarty]. I finished the show recently, and I’m obsessed.”
Disconnected
“We’re not allowed to have phones on our Shameless set. It keeps everyone focused, and I think it’s smart. So I journal in my brown Moleskine.”
Pawesome Pals
“I bring my puppy, Prince, a Pomeranian Chihuahua mix, to set every day. I have a purple leash to walk him around the lot during lunch breaks.”
Top Secret
“I’d be paranoid if my scripts fell out because I don’t want the story lines to get out. I don’t want to be that person.”
Eye Can’t See
“I carry around my regular Prada reading glasses because I’m blind.”
