Allison Janney is a force to be reckoned with.
The acclaimed actress won four primetime Emmys for her role as the White House Press Secretary on The West Wing, where she was hailed as a feminist role model as well as one of the greatest female characters on television.
Over a decade later, Janney is continuing to shatter the belief that there are no good roles for older actresses, often playing sarcastic, tough-as-nails women who are unapologetically complicated. Her portrayal of LaVona Golden in the 2017 biopic I, Tonya, was universally applauded, and earned her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
In interviews, Janney espouses the same sardonic and defiant spirit that shines through her characters. Case in point: Janney recently wore nothing but red pumps, a sexy swimsuit, and diamond earrings for the October issue of In Style Magazine, and when asked about what dating in her ’50s is like, responded, “[Mr. Right] is going to have to find me because I’m not going to find him.”
