Melissa McCarthy (Sookie on Gilmore Girls) is the new “IT Girl” of Hollywood, it would seem, gaining a lot of notoriety since her Emmy win. Just last week, she posed for a stunning shoot with The Hollywood Reporter, talking (and trying not to cry) about how amazing the experience has been.
The interview is fantastic, with Melissa shining through as a wonderful and genuinely humble actress, noting her reaction for getting on SNL as:
“I went into such an embarrassing, weird, inappropriately loud cry,” says McCarthy of her response, laughing about a story she shares often. “Annie was running in circles. She thinks something horrible is happening because I’m bent over, literally, in the rug section of Living Spaces wailing.”
The article includes quotes from many people who have worked with Melissa, all praising her and saying how happy they are that roles are coming along where Melissa can “show what she can do.” One such thing will be Melissa’s upcoming new line for plus-sized women AND a production company with husband Ben Falcone – how does she manage it all?! Learn more about other projects she’s working on in the interview.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes video of the photo shoot:
