Award-winning Orange Is The New Black star looks unrecognisable in new show 12 years on from Netflix debut
An award-winning Orange Is The New Black star looks unrecognisable in a new show, 12 years on from her Netflix debut.
Julie Lake starred in the hit series as Angie Rice who worked in the prison laundry room.
For her talented portrayal in Orange Is The New Black, alongside her co-stars she was awarded an Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series by the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2015 and 2017.
Now, Julie has ditched the prison overalls and ventured into the world of theatre.
The actress has secured a role in Forget-Me-Not alongside songwriter Annie Macleod who created the musical with her.
The musical, set to be performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in August delves into a true story about motherhood and lost romances.
It sees two estrange childhood best friends as they meet again later in life, now as mothers seeking 'more creative freedom, adventure, sexual liberation and a deeper sense of self,' according to the synopsis.
Julie announced her new venture on Instagram and posted a photo of the promotional poster.
She captioned the upload with: 'Wildflowers present FORGET-ME-NOT at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Aug 1-9th 11:30AM, Fern Theater @ Greenside.
'Be there or be square. Link to tickets in bio.'
The star looked worlds away from her Orange Is The New Black days in the post and wore a mustard yellow top and styled her hair in tousled waves with blonde highlights.
One fan commented: 'Gorgeous poster! Go go go!! xoxo.'
It comes after fans of the Netflix hit shared their shock at realising that none other than Sabrina Carpenter, 25, appeared in the show.
Sabrina appeared in the ninth episode of the first series called 'F***sgiving' as youngster Jessica Wedge.
One TikTok user shared the scene on her account with the caption: 'Doing my annual Orange Is The New Black ewwatch when I come across young Sabrina Carpenter bullying Alex Vause.
Alex Vause (Laura Prepon) has a flash back of a moment from when she was younger after Tiffany Doggett (Taryn Manning) calls her a rich b***h.
But she was actually far from it in the flashback scene.
Sabrina's alter-ego Jessica laughs at Alex's trainers, telling her: 'Real Adidas have three stripes. Not four.
'Your shoes are bobos.'
Alex asks: 'So?'
Jessica replies: 'So your mum shops at Payless and works at Friendly's.'
'My mum has like four jobs,' Alex says back.
And Jessica tells her: 'That's not something to brag about. You dress like a bum!'
One of her friends chimes in: 'She smells like one too!'
Alex's mum then arrives to pick her up and Jessica asks: 'Do you guys live in that janky car too?' Bye bye pigsty!'
Many rushed to the comments section to share their shock.
One asked: 'THAT WAS SABRINA??'
'That's Sabrina?? no way!!!!'
'Oh wow, I never realized that was Sabrina!! crazy!!'
