Keri Russell Says Running Wilde Is Like a Men’s Club — for Nerds

As Felicity, the sensitive college girl forever caught between two men in The WB series of the same name, Keri Russell became known for dramatic, breathless hellos, rather than breathless laughter. But Will Arnett, her co-star in Fox’s new comedy Running Wilde, says Russell is not only funny, she was at the top of their wish list to play his opposites-attract love interest.

“That’s a bald-faced lie,” Russell says, joking that in order to make sure she was funny enough to star in a comedy, the show’s creators — Arrested Development’s Arnett and Mitch Hurwitz, along with Jim Valley — have been sending the actress to do stand-up in New York two nights a week. “It’s been, um, awkward,” the actress says.”God, wouldn’t that be hysterical if it were true?” Continue reading Keri Russell Says Running Wilde Is Like a Men’s Club — for Nerds

Keri Russell’s life takes a funny turn

The former ‘Felicity’ star returns to television as the comedic foil for Will Arnett in the new Fox series ‘Running Wilde.’

It’s mere hours before the Emmy Awards and Keri Russell is in a bathrobe in her hotel room, holding two phones to her ears. Her hairstylist is arriving and she’s feeling overwhelmed by all the primping that’s about to take place.

“If I had it my way, I’d be going in jeans and a T-shirt,” she explained over the phone. “I can’t decide what to wear! Purple dress or pink?”

She went with the pink — a late-1970s hot-pink pleated chiffon Jean-Louis Scherrer gown from her own closet.

The intense glamour regime required by the awards circuit and the self-promotion that comes with a network TV series is a huge leap from the ungussied lifestyle she leads in Brooklyn, where the former “Felicity” actress rides her bicycle to the market and returns home with bags of food strapped to the back. And where she does something unthinkable for most Hollywood stars: her own laundry. Continue reading Keri Russell’s life takes a funny turn
