For an actor who’s managed a career of stellar performances in Hollywood’s art house corners—see recurring collaborations with the likes of Harmony Korine, Jim Jarmusch, and Luca Guadagnino—Chloë Sevigny is pretty hard to miss this spring. The Oscar nominee (Boys Don’t Cry) plays key supporting roles in two of Emmy season’s buzziest shows: the trippy Netflix half-hour Russian Doll and the Hulu limited series The Girl From Plainville. They’re very different projects, offering Sevigny very different showcases and making her the busiest she’s felt in a while. “I was thinking back to a couple years ago, and I was like, ‘Will I ever work again?’” she recalls with a laugh on this week’s Little Gold Men podcast (listen below). “Now I’m like, ‘Do I ever get a day off?’”

On the small screen, Sevigny is best known for her dynamite performance in HBO’s Big Love as a fundamentalist-raised Mormon polygamist in modern-day Utah, a turn that won her a Golden Globe and consistent critical acclaim across five seasons. In film, her breakout performance in 1999’s Boys Don’t Cry remains one she holds closest, both for the power of her work and the story’s groundbreaking cultural significance. Both of these projects loomed as she delved into this year’s intense roles: in The Girl From Plainville as Lynn Roy, the mother of a teenager who dies by suicide, and in Russian Doll as her close friend Natasha Lyonne’s mother—sort of.

And if that weren’t enough, as we start our conversation about this moment in her career—and what may be ahead—Sevigny reveals she’s also wedding-planning with her partner, art-gallery director Siniša Mačković. “It’s a very busy, joyous moment,” she says.

Vanity Fair: It’s a busy spring for you—you’ve got a couple shows out.

Chloë Sevigny: Couple shows and a wedding.

Oh, and a wedding! Look at me not doing my research.

[Laughs.] Not to get too personal. We should focus on the shows. But yes, that busyness is… whew.

What is the feeling right now, with the personal and professional colliding like that?

It feels good. Girl From Plainville is a little trickier to talk about. We want to get out there, want people to watch it, obviously. But it’s not like, “And I’m getting married!” It’s hard to segue. I’m really proud of the work. Really proud of both the shows. Proud of Natasha. Excited to be getting married. It’s a very busy, joyous moment. I was thinking back to a couple years ago, and I was like, will I ever work again? Without a home, without a boyfriend. Calling my brother crying. And now I’m like, “Do I ever get a day off?” [Laughs]

In this season of Russian Doll, you play a much larger part in this season after a briefer appearance in the first one. I imagine you and Natasha, with whom of course you’re very close, had never worked together in this capacity, right?

Not in this capacity. We’ve acted together before in the ’90s. We first appeared in If These Walls Could Talk 2, with Michelle Williams. And then we made a cult indie classic, Party Monster. But no, in season one, yeah, Nora makes a brief but pivotal appearance in one episode. It gives a lot of the backstory to Natasha’s character, Nadia. And that episode was directed by Leslye Headland, one of the creators. In season two, Nora appears a lot more in different capacities. Natasha was directing and also acting alongside me. So yeah, we were much more in the thick of it together, and it was really an incredible experience. It was a real passion project, which I’m always attracted to. Showrunners, creators, directors—that it’s like a live-or-die situation. Natasha was [like], “Everything’s riding on season two.” Sophomoric efforts often have that kind of pressure to them. I think she just had a lot to prove.
