Actress Tovah Feldshuh is happy to add POTUS to her resume.
“Somebody’s gotta do the job, clearly nobody is,” she quipped to Page Six of her role as President Pauline Mackenzie on CBS’ new series “Salvation.”
When asked about the real-life president, Donald Trump, she didn’t hold back.
“The bottom line is if you don’t dance to the tune of the president of the United States he will without reservation or limit attack you heartily,” the 63-year-old said. “He is setting up an opposition in the universe of the United States of America that terrifies many of its citizens and all I can do support the sanity of my country and give money to causes I believe in and pray for the next election.”
Ahead of appearing as a panelist Tuesday night at the Paley Center for Media’s “Better Than Ever: Actresses Are Fighting Ageism and Winning” program, Feldshuh – known for her work on Broadway and recent roles on “The Walking Dead” and “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” — told us her busy acting schedule is thanks to having had zero plastic surgery.
“To be a master story teller you have to be a hero with a thousand faces,” she said, “You have to move all the muscles of your face … Don’t look like you need kitty litter for Christmas.”
Later on stage — when Feldshuh joined actresses Marlo Thomas and Carol Kane, producer Sheila Nevins and NY1 anchor Cheryl Wills — the subject of going under the knife for the sake of looking younger became a talking point. Kane admitted she was too “chicken s–t” to do it.
