Elsewhere in the interview, Keri disclosed that she felt “comfortable” on the set of Felicity despite being a “nervous performer”.
“A gift about that show, and a little bit ‘The Diplomat’ too, is I got to wear these big baggy sweaters, and I hardly wore any makeup,” noted the actress.
She explained, “Don’t get me wrong, I love the beauty of women, too, and I like dressing up, and I like, you know, wearing makeup when I need to.”
