You  might recognize Christina Kirk from the big screen—she recently starred in Ira Sach’s “Love Is Strange” and Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock”—or from the small screen in highly acclaimed TV shows including “The Newsroom,” “Girls,” “The Good Wife,” “Law & Order” and cult hits “Delocated” and “Children’s Hospital.” You may even recognize her from the stage, where she began her career starring  in “Well” on Broadway, “The Knickerbocker” at the Public Theater and, most recently, the Broadway production of “Clybourne Park,” which won the Tony Award for Best Play in 2012. Now, you’ll see this New York-born actress starring in NBC’s DC Comics series, “Powerless,” where she plays Jackie, Van Wayne’s (Alan Tudyk‘s) beleaguered and long-suffering executive assistant. Here, Kirk shares her haute secrets to the City of Angels.
