Bound to be a familiar face for most, Patricia Clarkson has been gracing our screens since the mid-’80s.
People know we’re here," she said in a 2014 chat with Stanley Tucci forInterviewmagazine.
“I was more American dream than southern royalty.
But, as a young girl, I did sometimes associate in that world with my grandmother.
I knew that part of New Orleans,” she remarked.
In an interview withNPR, she said, “Thankfully, I’ve yes, I’ve changed.
I mean, I’m proud to be in that film, but …
I’m also proud to say I think I’ve I’m a little bit better.”
The series ran from 2001 to 2005, focusing on a dysfunctional, Los Angeles-based family’s funeral home.
Being nominated and being in that room and being with all of those remarkable people."
“I see pieces of it, and I feel fortunate.
It has a warm place in my heart, because I loved doing that film.
I was very thankful to be given that beautiful part,” she said.
Additionally, Clarkson portrayed a mother with Munchausen by proxy in the HBO series “Sharp Objects.”
So it was nothing short of a gift to see them team up on “Sharp Objects.”
Talk about an understatement.
And I’m not quite sure when the nominations are.
I’m not kidding.
She ultimately lost out to Patricia Arquette, who won for her work on “The Act.”
I swear to God."
There was a long stretch of time where Clarkson’s love life remained a mystery.
Clarkson replied, “It’s actually a man I just worked with.
His name is Darwin Shaw and he’s gorgeous.
… And I’ve kissed a lot of men.
And one or two ladies, but that was a long time ago.
But I’m telling you, he’s exceptional.”
The two reportedly have since gone their separate ways.
As of 2023, she has never been married and she takes pride in it.
In an interview with The Guardian, she said she’s never dreamed about getting married.
“But that doesn’t mean I haven’t had beautiful relationships in my life.
I’ve had love and heartbreak and all the things except a marriage license.
And I still want love in my life.
Of course I do.
Who wouldn’t?”
“It’s subliminal and subtle.
It’s: ‘You live alone?’
And ‘You paid for this apartment?’
“I have so many sisters who have beautiful children.
I love being an aunt, I love it probably more than acting,” she said.
Partially out of fear of failing as a parent, Clarkson decided she wouldn’t have children.
“I woke up at 50 in stilettos and a thong!
I’ve had a great, sexy-a** life,” she quipped.
