The gossip on Ms. Savage
In her words
I define downtime as... a king-size bed and a 65-inch television.
I wish I were better at... parking my car.
My favourite moment of the day is... when I have one thing left to do.
The biggest mistake I ever made was... not going on enough vacations with my family when I was younger; you don’t realize how little time you’ll have to travel as an adult.
I’m currently reading... Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m. [by], about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
My guiltiest pleasure is... taking a bubble bath every night.
My go-to wardrobe staple is... flat shoes with a short dress.
My favourite snack
Macaroons from Laduree
“As good as they taste, the thing I love most is the packaging.”
My favourite scent
Tom Ford Private Blend
“Amazing woodsy scents based on elements like tobacco leaf, vanilla bean and violets.”
My favourite show
Lockup (MSNBC)
“I’ll watch any reality show about prison. All the power dynamics are laid completely bare.”
My favourite shoes
Lanvin flats
“I have an embarrassing number of pairs, but they are comfy enough to wear on set all day.”
My favourite companion
Pit bulls
“They are a misunderstood breed. My dog Harper Lee, a rescue, is a pit-boxer mix. Best. Dog. Ever.”
