Lady Gaga of “American Horror Story: Hotel” and Jamie Lee Curtis of “Scream Queens” are arguably some of the most famous new faces on TV. But fame isn’t all it’s cracked up to be — at least not for Curtis, who told Gaga that it’s “isolating.” The duo also discussed Curtis’ blockbuster films “True Lies,” “The Jinx”, and working with “American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy.

4x5 - Kirsten Dunst & Rami Malek
June 9, 2016
Kirsten Dunst may not have been the lovable vampire Claudia in “Interview With the Vampire” if it were not for her acting coach. Dunst sat down with Rami Malek for Variety‘s and PBS’ fourth “Actors on Actors” series and revealed that her coach made her re-do her audition after a not-so-perfect performance. “I was with my coach,” she recalled. “He was outside of the room. He listened on the door to hear, like, what I was doing. And he knows I didn’t nail it. And I walked out, and he was like, ‘No, you go back in there.’ He’s like, ‘Apologize to the casting director.’ He’s like, ‘She didn’t do what she can do.'”
4x6 - Jennifer Lopez & Felicity Huffman
June 10, 2016
Jennifer Lopez and Felicity Huffman found a maternal common ground during their conversation. The two actresses, who are starring in “Shades of Blue” and “American Crime,” respectively, struggle with juggling motherhood and work — something they say many men don’t experience. “They asked working moms, they said ‘What percentage of you guys feel guilty about working outside the home?’ And it was 98%. And they said, ‘Even part-time moms, what percentage?’ And it was again like 98%,” Huffman said. “And then they asked working dads, both full-time and part-time. And guess what percentage of working dads feel guilty about their kids?” “Was it zero?” Lopez asked. “Goose egg! That’s exactly right; not at all. It’s just so different!” Huffman replied. “You know when it was over for them,” Lopez added.
4x7 - Sam Heughan & Krysten Ritter
June 10, 2016
TV sex scenes might appear steamy to viewers, but the actors who perform them on-screen don’t always feel the heat. “Jessica Jones'” Krysten Ritter and “Outlander’s” Sam Heughan said there’s no pleasure in shooting sex scenes. “I don’t like doing sex scenes, but with Jessica, I always felt like the sex scenes came from such a place of character and strength so it always made sense to me,” said Ritter, who plays the title character on Netflix’s “Jessica Jones.” “I never thought of them as being like anything that spectacular.”
