Specs Who Anna Chlumsky Age 34 Claim to fame Stars as Amy on HBO's Veep (Season 4 premieres April 12 at 10:30 p.m.); currently appearing on Broadway in the play Living on Love (through Aug. 2) Base New York Twitter @AnnaChlumsky What's the first information you consume in the morning? I check for texts and emails to see if anything's happening that morning, and then I look at the weather. I use whatever app is on my iPhone. I guess iSomething [laughs]. How do you get your news? The Yahoo News Digest is the quickest way for me to see what's important. Then, if I'm really interested in one of their headlines, I'll go on The New York Times. Also, because I like to practice my languages when I can, I have the Le Monde app and I have Veja magazine, which is like Time magazine in Brazil. What's your favorite app? I'm not the most, how would you say, tech-geeky about it. But I like the Shopstyle.com app. When I'm bored, I'll go through my "favorites" and get rid of everything that's sold out and organize them based on whether they're in my budget or not [laughs]. I like Zulily as well for kids' stuff. They're dangerous, though, because they don't give you a second to think before you make a purchase. Who are your favorite people to follow on Twitter? Patton Oswalt is pretty great. Tim Simons, who plays Jonah [on Veep], is a favorite. Chris Addison, one of our showrunners, is also great. And I follow RuPaul because I'm a Drag Race fan. That show is heaven. What other shows... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
