Sevigny reflected on being told as a teenager by famed fashion photographer Richard Avedon that she should hide the left side of her face and angle it away from the camera.
“Can you imagine saying that to a 19-year-old?”
Sevigny also detailed that British Vogue photographer David Bailey also advised her to only share her right side. The feedback from both artists left lasting effects on her.
“Even right now, I would have preferred to sit in that seat because then you would have been looking at my left side. It informs so many parts of my life, like, when I go to dinner, when I’m rehearsing and blocking a scene, I always favor this side. It’s intense.”
Sevigny has to deal with aging onscreen. She noted that “this high-def TV is not doing anybody any favors".
Sevigny admitted referencing Botox and filler, “It’s too hard to get old onscreen. It’s not fun. I’m not opposed to bits and bobs here and there,”
