Gilded Age Star Donna Murphy Demands Corsets Be Worn During All Romantic Dinners

Donna Murphy is taking the 'method acting' thing to a whole new level, honey. Word on the street is that the Gilded Age icon is so deep into the 1880s that she’s officially banned sweatpants from her romantic life. She’s out here celebrating anniversaries by making sure everyone is laced up so tight they can see the Ghost of Christmas Past. Listen, we love a period piece, but Donna is convinced that the secret to a long-lasting marriage is the inability to fully expand your lungs. She apparently believes that if you aren't faint from oxygen deprivation by the time the appetizers arrive, you just don't care about the relationship. It’s not a celebration unless there’s a fainting couch within arm's reach. Her friends are worried she’s going to start serving boiled mutton and calling the paparazzi 'scallywags.' But hey, if looking snatched in a bustle is what keeps the spark alive after four decades, who are we to judge? Just don't expect her to laugh at your jokes—her ribcage simply won't allow the vibration.
