Gilmore Girls Revival: Carolyn Hennesy Talks Becoming a Member of the Dar
It's one thing to play a member of the Dar, but to realize you could actually Be a member of the Dar?
Surely that means the role was meant to be.
Just ahead of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life's premiere, we talked with Carolyn Hennesy about her role as Toni, the head of the local chapter of the Dar, who helps Emily confront what it is that she really wants out of life.
Hennesy is no stranger to playing wealthy women with questionable intentions, and with experience from Revenge, True Blood, General Hospital, and Once Upon a Time, sipping tea with Emily Gilmore came quite naturally to her.
