'White Lotus' star Carrie Coon, 44, says she gets typecast as older in Hollywood because she hasn't gotten Botox
Carrie Coon, 44, says her decision to age naturally is the reason she gets casted to play older women. In an interview with Glamour published on Monday, the "White Lotus" star was asked if she is drawn to "complex" characters or has simply been typecast. Coon said it's the latter. "We all have a way we present in the world. The perception of me is that I am verbal, intellectual. My voice is lower, and I don't have Botox, so I tend to play older than I am. And so I've always had a gravitas or some authority," Coon told Glamour. Known for her Emmy-nominated performances in " The Gilded Age" and " Fargo," the actor says her distinctive voice stems from years of vocal training and performing in theater. "I started to understand just how vital it is as a woman to be fully voiced," Coon said. "You see women in positions of power who aren't fully voiced, and it actually makes their job harder." She added that she often tells women — female actors in particular —to avoid speaking in their "baby voice." "You have no power. You're giving up all your power in every room," she said. Moreover, Coon also hopes that young women in Hollywood can withstand the pressure to go under the knife. "Authenticity is more evocative than any kind of engineering you might consider doing to your face or your body," she said. "Now, this is not the message coming from culture. As a woman who is 44, watching myself in HD is not easy, and it's not comfortable." While she does get baby lasers and does gua sha, she isn't a fan of injectables. "I like science-based skincare," she said. "But I'm not going to inject anything into my face. It's just...I think it's scary and strange." Coon added that she's "inspired by other women in the business I see who I can tell are also not augmenting their appearance." "It's a choice I'm making for myself," she added. Coon's experience of being typecast due to her appearance is a reflection of broader issues in Hollywood, where many female actors have spoken out about the industry's narrow beauty standards, sexism, and ageism. Kathy Bates said in September that she was able to have a long acting career only because she didn't fit societal standards of beauty. In December, Nicole Kidman said her agent had to convince her that her acting career wasn't over just because she turned 40. Jennifer Love Hewitt said in a January interview that her fans have a "really hard time" accepting that she no longer looks the way she did in her 20s. Ageism against women is also prevalent in other workplaces and industries, too. A survey of 913 women published in Harvard Business Review in June 2023suggested that women in leadership roles faced workplace age discrimination at every age bracket. A representative for Coon did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

Carmy faces the fire again: ‘The Bear' season 4 premieres this week
FX's acclaimed restaurant drama The Bear is back with its highly anticipated fourth season premiering on June 26, 2025. The series, which has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut in 2022, continues to follow the intense and emotional journey of chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto and his crew as they try to keep their fine-dining Chicago restaurant afloat. The new season picks up right where Season 3 left off: Carmy, played by Jeremy Allen White, has just read a brutal review of his restaurant, The Bear—one that threatens the stability of everything he's been trying to build. The fallout promises to send ripples through his personal life, especially his relationships with Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Claire (Molly Gordon). As in previous seasons, the cast remains strong, with Edebiri, Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Oliver Platt all returning. Jamie Lee Curtis also reprises her Emmy-nominated role as Carmy's mother, Donna, whose chaotic presence continues to haunt the Berzatto family dynamic. Season 4 also marks a creative expansion behind the scenes. Both Ayo Edebiri and Lionel Boyce co-wrote an episode this season—an exciting first for the actors, and a reflection of the show's collaborative spirit under creator Christopher Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo. Shot back-to-back with Season 3, the fourth season dives deeper into the high-stakes world of fine dining while continuing to explore themes of anxiety, perfectionism, and unresolved trauma—often under the pressure cooker of a bustling kitchen. With ten new episodes and the series' trademark blend of chaos, comedy, and heartbreak, The Bear is once again ready to serve something unforgettable.

After more than a decade tucked into a secluded corner of the Studio City hills, Emmy-nominated voice actor John DiMaggio and actress Kate Miller are saying goodbye to their Los Angeles home, The Post has learned. A striking 1979 modernist residence designed by architect John Bleser, the dwelling is now listed for $1.99 million. Best known for voicing Bender in the culty cartoon 'Futurama,' DiMaggio called the move 'bittersweet,' adding, 'It's where we've been for a while.'

Advertisement 'We liked it so much. We ended up there for 14 years,' Miller said. 'A comfort zone is a wonderful place, but nothing ever grows there.' Set against the Verdugo Mountains, the three-story hillside dwelling offers sweeping valley views, open-concept interiors, a regenerating brook and decks. Bleser's Bauhaus-inspired vision remains intact, with carefully preserved original detailing and recent modern updates. 13 John DiMaggio with a figure of his Bender character.

'During COVID, I recorded a lot of things from home, and it was more of a studio slash office, in the house,' DiMaggio said. 'There's great work space in the house.' A life-sized replica of Bender — gifted to DiMaggio by the creators of 'Futurama' — currently stands watch inside the studio, a physical reminder of the show's long legacy. 'That's something that I got from 'Futurama' a long time ago that only a couple of people have gotten,' DiMaggio said.

'It's a beautiful special place up there in the hills. And it's a really unique architectural piece of property,' Miller added. Originally designed with entertainers and creatives in mind, the roughly 3,000-square-foot residence includes a dramatic glass conservatory with double-height windows, two levels of entertaining space, and a private third-story retreat with bedrooms and outdoor lounge areas. 13 The home occupies roughly 3,000 square feet.

They also recently went into contract on their Palm Springs home, which they've owned for 11 years. These days, they're spending summers in the Hamptons and continue to maintain a home in Manhattan's West Village. Advertisement 13 One of three bedrooms. David Fitzgerald 13 An ensuite bathroom.

Still, their hillside LA home holds a special place as they are still figuring out where they will permanently settle.

As for the life-sized Bender statue that currently resides in DiMaggio's studio? Miller offered one final note — with a laugh — to her husband: 'It will not come in the [new] house.'
