Since her star-making flip in (*2*), actress Meghann Fahy has been booked and busy: This month, she stars within the drama Rebuilding, because the ex-wife of a cowboy whose ranch burned down in a wildfire. Unsurprisingly, her packed agenda requires catching up on sleep wherever she will. But when you see her resting on an airplane, kindly avert your eyes. “I famously am always sleeping with my mouth open if I’m in a seat that doesn’t go all the way back. My boyfriend has so many videos of me, just teed up,” she says. “If it’s a night flight, I love to get on the plane, watch a little movie, eat some dinner, have a glass of wine, and then lights out.”
Fahy chatted with Condé Nast Traveler concerning the expertise of constructing Rebuilding under Colorado’s broad open skies, why her work schedule requires 24-hour room service, and the film she loves watching in-flight simply earlier than she drifts off.
On the filming location for Rebuilding:
It was Alamosa, Colorado, which I had by no means been to earlier than. Colorado usually is a state that I’ve not spent plenty of time in, and it is a completely completely different world than what I’m used to—I grew up in a very small city in Massachusetts—and it was superb. Just driving down a kind of actually lengthy, actually straight roads and seeing that a lot sky, with the radio on, continues to be one among my favourite elements of getting been there. And the sunsets have been completely unimaginable.
Her coolest filming location thus far:
Sicily [for The White Lotus] undoubtedly takes the cake. It’ll be actually arduous to beat that. We traveled round a bit whereas we have been filming and bopped from city to city, so we received to see a good quantity of Sicily, which was fantastic. Then we really completed the shoot in Rome. It was simply one of the lovely locations I’ve ever seen. There’s nonetheless a lot of Italy that I haven’t been to that I’m excited to discover. I love the tradition, I love the folks, I love the meals. I simply don’t have any notes on Italy.
Her method to packing:
I’m kind of a power under-packer, as a result of I get actually overwhelmed when I’m doing it. So what I do to assuage myself is simply say, “Don’t worry about it! If you forget anything, you can just get things as you need them.” But I have not too long ago gotten into packing cubes. Honestly, it makes such an enormous distinction, not even when it comes to area essentially, however simply realizing the place all the pieces is. I’m leaving on Monday to go to England to do a movie, and I’m going to be there for a few months, so I’m going to have three massive trunks. When you’ve got that a lot baggage, it is actually arduous to know the place all of your stuff is, and it turns into irritating to be going by way of your bag on a regular basis looking for one factor. The packing cubes are actually useful with that organizational part.
