The Penguin star Cristin Milioti has revealed the worst job she did before becoming an actor.
Cristin Milioti reveals working at an amusement park was one of her worst jobs.
The 40-year-old actress admitted while she’s had plenty of “bad jobs” over the years, a five month stint at Hersheypark ranks as one she “hated” the most.
She told Empire magazine: “I’ve had many bad jobs.
“The chocolate company Hershey has an amusement park [Hersheypark] in Pennsylvania and I worked there for five months when I was 18, singing and dancing in a show about chocolate.
“I really, really hated it.”
Cristin also revealed the worst things she’s eaten – a sip from a “bottle of Baileys that had gone bad” – and her least favourite smell in the world.
She added: “The smell of someone, or many people, having peed in the subway and it’s a heatwave day. That makes my skeleton want to escape my body.”
Cristin has forged a career in the arts, but her first role in a school play didn’t hint at the success to come.
She recalled: “I want to say I was one of the hens in a retelling of The Little Red Hen.
“I was not the main hen. I was a supporting hen. Actually, I think everyone got to be a hen.”
The Penguin star wanted to pursue a career in Hollywood from a young age, and once met John Waters as a child when she told him about her dreams.
Asked about what posters she had on her wall, she said: “Not a poster, but what I did have on my wall was a framed photo of John Waters. “My dad took me to meet at a video stood in Philadelphia. I loved his films.
“I was WAY too young to be watching them – I think I was nine. I told him what an energmous fan I was and that I wanted to be a director.
“He signed a headshot and wrote, ‘To the future.’ I had it hanging on my wall for years. It’s not in my house of my parents’ house and I would do anything to have it back.”
