She is the QUEEN BEE

THE ACTRESS SHINES AMONG STARS IN PALM ROYALE, A 1969-SET SERIES ABOUT A COUNTRY CLUB CLIQUE

- Allison Janney

A llison Janney is lazy. No, we’re not talking about the prolific actress who has worked steadily since scoring her big break just before turning 40, starring in

seven seasons of the TV smash hit The West Wing from 1999 until 2006. We’re referring to a koala named Allison Janney who, says the star, is particularly lethargic. “I bid on it at an auction, and I won, so now there is a koala named Allison Janney,” she explains to WHO. “Apparently, Allison Janney likes to sleep all day. Just a little fun fact.”

It’s also a fact that Janney, 64, is as busy as her marsupial namesake is snoozy. In the past two decades, she’s garnered consistent praise for her work as a journeyman actor in beloved films, including Juno, 10 Things I Hate About You, and The Hours. She also starred in eight seasons of the sitcom Mom and won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2018 for her role opposite Margot Robbie in I, Tonya.
