Carrie Coon has been helping her fellow actresses on The Gilded Age cope with the physical demands of the period drama by handing out specialised neck rests.
The actress discussed the devices during an appearance at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, explaining that the cast’s elaborate wigs and large period costumes can make it difficult to rest comfortably.
Coon showed how a device known as a Cranial Cradle works, allowing the wearer to lie down without crushing their carefully styled headwear.
She said the neck support could be used on planes and even against walls, making it a practical solution between scenes or while travelling.
Coon also criticised airline seating, arguing that plane seats are designed for men, as are many other everyday products.
The device is available online, with Coon joking that she had effectively given its maker free publicity. The support could now offer the women of The Gilded Age some relief from the strain of their elaborate costumes and headwear.
