Parade | Interview: Younger Star Sutton Foster Dishes Season 2 Spoilers
“We have a really great lighting and makeup department,” Foster, who is turning 41 this year, told Parade.com in an exclusive interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. “You know how some people—even in their 20’s—play older?

Foster also sees major differences between 2016 and the time she grew up in.

“In a career choice of being a performer and an entertainer where there’s no real job security and it’s hard to look ahead at what’s next, it’s really cool to know that we have this next season and to know that the network is really behind us and really believes in the show,” Foster, 40, told PEOPLE at the Younger and Teachers premiere party Wednesday at the Nomad in New York. “So it’s exciting!” Read more
