Actress and funny lady Molly Shannon, whose new film, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, is out now, gave Us Weekly a peek into her white Giorgio Armani purse!

“I always throw a banana in my purse, because I love them!” says the star of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (out now). “My doctor said, ‘You’re low on potassium. You need to eat more bananas.’ I was like, ‘What? That’s all I eat!’” The 50-year-old SNL alum and mom of Stella, 11, and Nolan, 10 (with artist husband Fritz Chesnut), peels open her Giorgio Armani purse for Us.
