Mary-Louise Parker says she’s “probably one of the few people” who have never clicked into their Wikipedia page.
The actress tells Page Six in a recent exclusive interview that the subject of her Wiki page came up during a discussion with her godson about fame.
“I think it’s bad,” she explains.
“I think it’s bad to look at things like that,” the 60-year-old says, adding that perusing things like that can make “you think about them too much.”
If she ever does click into it, Parker would see an impressive list of awards she’s won over the years, including two Tonys, two Golden Globes and an Emmy.
She’d also see a lengthy list of roles she’s taken on throughout her career — from Ruth Jamison and Dianne Sway in the films “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “The Client,” respectively, to playing Nancy Botwin in the TV series “Weeds” and Harper Pitt in HBO’s miniseries “Angels in America.”
In recent years, she has starred in the “Red” movies opposite Bruce Willis and has had more appearances on Broadway.
Her latest role is in the supernatural horror mini-series “The Institute,” which follows the story of a teen genius who is kidnapped and placed in a facility, and is based on a Stephen King novel.
Parker plays the mysterious Ms. Sigby, who runs the Institute.
She describes her character as “undaunted.”
Ms. Sigby is so “steadfastly directed for the cause that she believes she’s doing the right thing, that she’s saving more lives than she’s destroying and that she’s working for the greater good of humanity.”
That sort of mentality “always creates the most dangerous people,” Parker notes.
“Whenever somebody has a skewed morality, it’s generally, they often think they’re doing the right thing.”
“The Institute” premieres with two episodes on MGM+ Sunday at 9:00 p.m. ET.
