Interview Magazine | Sutton Foster by Amy Sherman-Palladino

“I don’t know why I love you so much,” jokes showrunner and producer Amy Sherman-Palladino while interviewing her friend Sutton Foster. “You have this fairy-dust effect on people that I’m not even sure you know about,” she says with a laugh.
[…]
AMY SHERMAN-PALLADINO: Okay, Sutton, these will be hard-hitting questions. Very 60 Minutes. When did you learn to crochet?
SUTTON FOSTER: Honestly, just now as I was waiting for you to call I was crocheting and finishing up an episode of Gilmore Girls. It’s my happy place.
SHERMAN-PALLADINO: That’s the glamorous world of Sutton Foster?
FOSTER: It’s very glamorous. I taught myself how to do it when I was a teenager. I’ve always been super crafty. I’ve always loved to draw and make stuff, and I thought it would be a nice hobby. I used to cross-stitch because my mom cross-stitched. I’ve made tons of blankets. I usually do it while I’m working, especially on a TV job where there’s tons of down time and you’re just sitting there.

Bustle | You’re Breaking Sutton Foster’s Heart & You Don’t Even Know It

Fun fact: Sutton Foster can sing. Yes, really. The star of Younger, Bunheads, and the Gilmore Girls revival also happens to be a Tony-Award-winning Broadway legend who’s belted tunes in everything from Les Mis to Thoroughly Modern Millie. For millions of viewers, this might come as a shock. Despite having been one of theater’s biggest stars for three decades and counting, Foster isn’t exactly a household name for non-New-Yorkers. Yet thanks to Younger’s success, that’s all starting to change, one chance encounter at a time.

Playbill | Inside Sutton Foster’s Crazy Year

I don’t consider myself a dancer,” says Sutton Foster. “I danced for a long time, but I don’t think of myself that way. Other people do, but I don’t.”
With two Tonys under her belt for leading roles with heavy dancing (see: an eight-minute tap dance break as Reno Sweeney in Anything Goes and the tour-de-tap of Thoroughly Modern Millie), those “other people” certainly have cause. “[It’s] because dance is the thing that is the hardest for me to do,” she explains. “Singing or acting or telling a story comes a lot more naturally.”
For three seasons (the fourth premieres June 28) Foster has been in her zone on TVLand’s hit series Younger: telling the story of Liza, a 40-something posing as a 20-something to jumpstart her publishing career after taking time off to be a wife and mother.

Refinery29 | Sutton Foster & Hilary Duff Give Us The Scoop On Younger Season 4

TV Land’s Younger is many things: a sharp parody about the world of book publishing, a romantic comedy, and a testament to how far parents will go for their children. But at its heart, Younger is about the power of female friendships.
With that in mind, the sitcom’s season 3 finale was its biggest cliffhanger yet. Liza (Sutton Foster) finally came clean to Kelsey (Hilary Duff) about her true age. While their friendship will overcome the lie eventually, there’s a lot that needs to be repaired in their relationship. And according to the stars, it will take a good chunk of the season to reach that point.
