Jennifer Coolidge totally stole the show at this year's Golden Globes but there was plenty other drama from The White Lotus cast too.

Principally, she was concerned about walking on the stage: “There’s no way I’m making it from behind the curtain all the way to the podium without breaking my skull,” she admitted on the night. So, it was a small mercy when the cast and creators of The White Lotus chose to spice up the proceedings at the Golden Globes on Tuesday night. When Jennifer was originally asked to present an award at the Golden Globes she thought the experience would be nothing than “a complete anxiety attack” and tried to turn it down.

Plaza serves up an unhinged determination to have a good time with sides of jealousy, sensuality, and revelation, while Sharpe excels at playing the straight man. The second season adds a host of big names, including Oscar winner F. As the sole Season 1 alum, Jennifer Coolidge sets a high bar for the rest of the ensemble—on a Vespa, no less. Though Bartlett laid it all out from the get-go, Impacciatore’s straight-talking Valentina is a closed book that you’re desperate to open, thanks to the actor’s subtle—but no less memorable—performance. The second season of a hit show is as exciting for fans as it is terrifying for showrunners, and “White Lotus” creator Mike White certainly had his work cut out for him when it came to matching the success of his social satire’s first outing. The result is both box-fresh and a brilliant return to form.

We liked her in White Lotus. Then this Insta star took a dark turn (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Alexandra Daddario casts a spell in Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches as a neurosurgeon who discovers a troubling family secret.

Rachel’s story is ultimately a tragedy, a grievous study in the pressures of class and the cost of compromise. She lives in this fantasy world where everything is going to be OK and is always trying to please. “Alexandra had an unpretentious, natural approach to the character that was very sweet.” “The tricky thing about this part is that she’s going to become a witch, but she starts out a surgeon,” Spalding says. Her turn as Rachel, a newlywed who begins to suspect that her decision to marry the rich and obnoxiously entitled Shane (Jake Lacy) might have been a huge mistake, provided one of the season’s few truly sympathetic characters. That experience prepared her somewhat to star in the reboot of another popular franchise seven years later. Her Instagram account, with nearly 23 million followers, is full of tasteful photos of herself in Paris, at home in Los Angeles with her new husband, or on vacation with no clothes in the infinity pool; it’s a careful mix of #inspo and sex appeal that marks the expert millennial influencer. Those two book series have combined to sell tens of millions of copies and earn a famously protective fan base, known for scrutinising every decision taken in a screen adaptation. But there was only this woman whom millions watched in her Emmy-nominated performance as Rachel in Season 1 of the HBO series. Then a college-age woman approached the table, as giddy as she was effusive. She clicked into red-carpet mode as the woman’s friend took a picture on her phone. But there are moments when she is reminded, as she was recently at a cafe and juice bar in Manhattan’s West Village.

And as The White Lotus audiences await more details on the series' next twisted vacation, Fahy's recollection of her accidental kitchen career is a welcome, funny story from the previous season's production. The result is a layered performance that allows audiences to see the true Daphne in each small pointed line and mannerism throughout the season's earlier episodes after witnessing the season's direction. The star revealed that as she became acquainted with the local residents and businesses, she revealed to a restaurant owner that she'd hoped to take up a cooking class. However, beneath the surface is an individual who is aware of what her husband is capable of, but is nevertheless determined to do what she can to achieve her desires in spite of her situation, seizing control and not allowing herself to be a victim of others' actions. Throughout season 2, Daphne publicly presents herself as a cheerful and outgoing wife who is content with her life with Cameron, enjoying the riches and opportunities that their relationship holds. Fahy portrayed Daphne Sullivan, the wife of Theo James' investments manager Cameron Sulivan in season 2 of Mike White and HBO's black comedy drama anthology series.
