Absolutely Everything We Know About Kirsten Connolly, Aka Lucinda In The Summer I Turned Pretty

We're all hooked on The Summer I Turned Pretty. After two years of waiting, the third instalment of the series has landed on Amazon Prime, and it's delivering all the teen, rom com vibes we could ever want. Season three takes place almost four years after the events of season 2 - meaning our fave characters are all grown up. It follows Belly, played by Lola Tung, who is in a long-term relationship with Jeremiah, played by Gavin Casalegno. Their feelings for each other are thrown into question by the arrival of her ex Conrad, played by Christopher Briney. But alongside familiar faces, we've also met some new characters for season three. One of these is Lucinda Jewel, a single-mum to Taylor, with the two sharing a tight bond in the show. Lucinda is portrayed on screen Kristen Connolly - but where might have you seen her before? Kristen Connolly is an American actress who was born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey. She began her career with recurring roles on digital shorts for CollegeHumour, and was an extra on the films Mona Lisa Smile, Meet Dave, and The Happening. She appeared on two CBS daytime soap operas, Guiding Light and As the World Turns, before taking on bigger screen roles. Kristen has been married to Stephen O'Reilly since 2023, and the couple have two children together. Kristen Connolly was born on 12th July 1980, making her 45-years-old. You might recognise Kristen Connolly from her role as Dana in the 2011 film The Cabin in the Woods, a role which shot her into the mainstream. She also starred in the horror film The Bay. Her TV roles include starring in the Netflix series House of Cards as Christina Gallagher, and as Jamie Campbell in the CBS series Zoo. She also starred in the HBO movie about disgraced financier Bernie Madoff, The Wizard of Lies, alongside Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro. In a 2019 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Connolly addressed starring in horror films. 'I enjoy scary movies, but I wouldn't say I'm an avid fan. I love both shows for different reasons, but it wasn't a deliberate decision,' she told the outlet. 'As an actor just starting out, I just want to work on projects that are, hopefully, good. I had no idea it would happen, so I'm like, 'Huh. I keep landing in these things! What's up ?' And The Cabin in the Woods was so much fun. That was really my first big job, and it was so challenging, and I still am dumbfounded [by it]. I smile every time I think about it.' Yes!

Kim Kardashian's SKIMS face shapewear sold out immediately - but I've found an affordable alternative on Amazon

Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Kim Kardashian has released her latest sell-out item for her SKIMS brand - a head-spinning new product which promises to sculpt customers' faces while they sleep. The item is a headwrap called the Ultimate Face and is billed on the brand's Instagram as 'our first-ever face innovation, made with signature sculpting fabric and infused with collagen yarns for ultra-soft jaw support.' A photo announcing the Ultimate Face shows a woman wearing a skintight nude fabric hood that vaguely resembles a balaclava. Kim said on Instagram: 'We've been doing shape wear for a really long time and now we're going to offer amazing face shape wear which is just such a necessity. This material is actually infused with collagen yearns and it's just this amazing jaw support. 'You can see that it just snatches your chinny chin chin with the jaw and it's super comfortable to wear at night or just around the house. I really wanted to do these - we've been working on them for a long time and I'm really happy that you guys can see it.' The product sold out on the day of release - but here is how you can still join the waitlist for the exact version, or get your hands on a more affordable alternative from Amazon. EXACT MATCH: SKIMS £52 Shop Social media users were incredulous, leaping into the comments with reactions like: 'Is it April Fools?' and: 'What in the Hannibal is this.' 'State of the world in shambles, people dying …,' wrote one commenter. 'Kim: New Hannibal Lector Nylon face wrap just dropped!!!' The jibes were specifically referring to a scene from The Silence of the Lambs in which Anthony Hopkins' cannibalistic serial killer is wheeled out for a meeting with a senator while strapped down, wearing a straitjacket and a muzzle. 'Can't tell if trolling,' 'Peak f***ery,' 'Can we agree to disagree,' and: 'What am I looking at here?' were among the other flabbergasted replies. 'There's a 16 year old girl out there thinking she needs to buy this crap :),' wrote one as another said: 'SKIMS : Making women feel bad about themselves since 2018.' 'How has it come to this?' wrote a third commenter while a fourth sniggered that the 'most insane morning sheds are about to begin.' 'Kim please people are dying!!!' joked one, in reference to a viral remark Kim's sister Kourtney Kardashian made to her while she panicked over a lost earring. Although some observers were aghast at the product, many others were seized with excitement, to the point it sold out on the SKIMS website the day of its release. One Instagram commenter wrote, however: 'If this works so well, why didn't Kris Jenner use this instead of spending thousands of dollars on a face lift?' A Harley Street expert gave their opinion on face wraps, admitting that while there can be temporary benefits it is not a long term fix. Dr Nikita Desai, said: 'Face wraps of this kind offer temporary changes at best and may help with de-puffing your face, similar to how a common surgical garment can help reduce swelling. 'While wraps of this kind can be fun to engage with, it's worth me stressing that beyond this, wraps can't offer any permanent changes such as facial contouring, remodel fat or even boost collagen production. Any changes you see will reverse in a matter of hours as the compression loses its effect.
