Carla Gugino

Carla Gugino Instagram – “I was born to act. I am a product of a wild childhood. I used to jokingly say that I would’ve either become schizophrenic or an actress. I guess technically one doesn’t preclude the other. You just get paid to be emotionally malleable as an actress.⁠
⁠
My parents split (amicably) when I was two-and-a-half. From that moment, until I found myself in New York City not knowing I was about to find my life’s vocation, I lived multiple lives. My mom and I lived in some of the most beautiful spots sunny California has to offer. We also lived in many permutations: a hilltop perch in Big Sur with an outdoor shower, which created my life-long obsession with outdoor showers, and also a white van with shag rug upholstery for a stint, a (real!) tepee with a propane stove and two twin beds in Paradise, California, and a beautiful, glass-walled home in La Jolla with the most expansive view of the Pacific Ocean one could wish for. It had a flat rooftop on which I did one of my first DIY fashion shoots.”⁠
