Carrie Coon Juggles Two HBO Roles in 48 Hours

Carrie Coon managed a demanding schedule by transitioning from filming The White Lotus in Thailand to reprising her role as Bertha Russell in The Gilded Age season 3 for HBO, with only 48 hours between productions. The tight schedule left her underprepared and jet-lagged, but the production team accommodated her by starting with bedroom scenes to help her adjust. Coon described feeling out of place during the transition but expressed gratitude for her colleagues' patience and support. Off-screen, she contrasts her intense characters by being easygoing and credits her family for helping her stay grounded. Her acting career, which began on stage and gained attention with HBO's The Leftovers, continues to flourish as she handles consecutive high-profile roles. Coon's ability to navigate such demanding roles highlights her versatility and dedication.
