Gladys FEATURED PEOPLE

YOUR IDEA OF PERFECT HAPPINESS: While I don’t think “perfection” or “happiness” is ever the goal, I feel most content when things in my life are aligned and have a sense of ease about them. When there’s a steady flow of acting jobs, I’m in a show or working on a project, I’m connecting to my friends and family, I’m feeling accomplished and challenged and working towards a clear goal. And also, a giant oat milk latte never hurts -- Oatly Barista milk if we’re getting specific, which according to the Law of Attraction, we must.

YOUR CURRENT STATE OF MIND: I just finished the Artist’s Way, have projects in the works and others about to be released, and am finally back on stage after the pandemic hiatus, so I’m currently feeling excited and at peace. Of course, I’m an actor, so ask me again tomorrow. Or like, in an hour.

YOUR GREATEST EXTRAVAGANCE: I love Erewhon’s “healthy” chocolate brownies. I’m (self) banned from going into that grocery store because I cannot avoid purchasing over 17 of them at once and dropping 10 times their weight in money. Luckily, I found not quite as overpriced yet just as delicious gluten-free baked goods at Modern Bread and Bagel. So I drop tons of money there instead.

THE QUALITY YOU LIKE MOST IN PEOPLE: Authenticity. I like when people share their feelings and what they’re thinking. Otherwise I will sit there and try to dissect your mind anyway, so you’re better off just being upfront. My analysis is often right but I am willing to admit I tend to also read into things. Sometimes. Often. Usually.

YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION: My first instinct is to say my toddler, but I will stick to an actual possession which is probably my box of sentimental cards I’ve collected over the years. Close second is my milk frother. See question one.

YOUR LATEST PROJECT IS: I recently filmed a Wayfair commercial opposite Kelly Clarkson and am in the upcoming Apple+ show, Lessons in Chemistry.

YOUR DREAM PROJECT IS: I have always felt I belonged on a hit comedy series, so that is definitely the main dream. Another major bucket list item is playing a victim-turned-killer on SVU. You know the type. You think she’s a victim but it turns out she DID it. You think she’s a teen but she’s really an ADULT. Manifesting!
