The avant-guard fashion icon and actress Chloë Sevigny landed an arc on a prime time TV sitcom for the first time, well, ever. She’ll be making a guest arc on The Mindy Project as the photojournalist ex-wife of Danny (Chris Messina), Christina.
As seen on Vulture, The Mindy Project will be Sevigny’s first prime time television experience. Sevigny is known for her role as a sister wife on HBO’s controversial drama Big Love. She also had an arc as a sex crazed inpatient at Briar Cliff mental hospital on the FX drama series American Horror Story: Asylum. Oh and in case you forgot, Sevigny is also known for taking her role a little too literally during a sex scene with co-star and director Vincent Gallo in The Brown Bunny. Sevigny most recently dabbled in comedy in the IFC’s series Portlandia, alongside Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.
Despite this breakout arc on prime time TV, I still think her promiscuous reputation precedes her. I don’t think Chloë will be starring in a family-friendly TV show anytime soon. But that’s OK, this Hollywood “It’ girl really tends to shine in the more controversial and/or eclectic roles anyway.
