The Good Fight alum has credited her opportunity to play old money socialite Agnes van Rhijn on The Gilded Age for keeping her connected to her spouse.
“When I met my late husband, he was this dashing actor. I did an Ibsen play with him and he’d come to rehearsal in a black motorcycle jacket with these very eccentric glasses and shaggy blonde hair,” she told Town & Country in 2022. “And I thought he was just so exotic. He asked me to take a ride home with him on the motorcycle, and I just thought, oh my god, this is dangerous and sexy. It was only slowly that I got to know him as someone who was actually raised on Park Avenue and 72nd Street.”
Years later, she continued, “I was, of course, immersing myself in research on the Gilded Age. And I realized more deeply how connected my late husband’s family had been. If you want to look any of these people up, you will be drawn into a rabbit hole of interest.”
