These six actresses may have recently discovered the zeitgeist of their dramatic work at the absolute top of the competition, but when they sit down thrDrama actress roundtable.

Kathy Bates (Matlock), Cristin Milioti (penguin and Black Mirror), Helen Mirren (1922 and Mobilan), niecy nash-betts (weird), Parker Posey (White lotus) and Keri Russell (diplomat) swapped an hour of changeover stories - talking about the worst advice they've ever received in their careers, seeing too many "beautiful but she didn't know" parts of the script, for Bates and Percy, they've recently returned to the center of attention. “Memes, excitement from my friends and family, is so cute,” Posey said of her recent work White lotus And many viral moments it inspired. “There are friends who are going to go, ‘we’re worried’ or ‘we’re stressed for you.’ They are so happy to see you happy and appreciate and have received fulfilling and fun work that my mom can feel great with her friends.”

Bates said she was on a similar ship and was frustrated with a recent series of films that had not been seen or lost in the edit. Bates talks about her career Matlock. "I just thought maybe I should consider putting my house on the market and moving to France or something. I just wanted to be really thrilled."

Recurring themes within an hour are bad advice - some women regret taking them, while more are happy that they are ignored. Nash-Betts was told not to marry a woman. Nash-Betts said: "Some people are like, 'Your fan base knows you're somehow and you need to stay there. Otherwise you'll never have lunch in this town again.'

Mirren also obtained the final pass. "I was told to work in my 20s," she recalled. “Someone said, ‘If you don’t have a nose job, you will never go to work.’” (she refused).

Speaking of career, Russell is a fixture for the entertainment industry Wild Nominated her at the age of 22, admitting she still didn't sell 100% on the actors. “There are a lot of things that still embarrass me,” she said. “For me, it’s a real thrust. I still have to overcome the obstacles to tension, but this is the TV version we work for me.”

Miliot, just started penguinsaid her own career prospects have changed dramatically over the past decade. "If I look back 10 years, I'm often playing the version of 'A Dream Girl'," she said. "That doesn't feel like my life experience, which is good, but the older I'll feel like I take off my tight pants. I feel very free. It's not digging on any project. It's like when I was 25. I was interviewed at 25, a girl I was playing with or a corpse or a 40-year-old, or someone like this, ever tried and left it behind, and it felt really good."

It should also be mentioned that Mirren finally revealed the real reason why she mentioned Kurt Coburn so often in interviews. She's really fixed? "This is not Kurt Cobain. It's going to die."
