Since her star-making flip in The White Lotus, actress Meghann Fahy has been booked and busy: This month, she stars within the drama Rebuilding, because the ex-wife of a cowboy whose ranch burned down in a wildfire. Unsurprisingly, her packed agenda requires catching up on sleep wherever she will. But if you happen to see her resting on an airplane, kindly avert your eyes. “I famously am always sleeping with my mouth open if I’m in a seat that doesn’t go all the way back. My boyfriend has so many videos of me, just teed up,” she says. “If it’s a night flight, I love to get on the plane, watch a little movie, eat some dinner, have a glass of wine, and then lights out.”

Fahy chatted with Condé Nast Traveler concerning the expertise of constructing Rebuilding under Colorado’s vast open skies, why her work schedule requires 24-hour room service, and the film she loves watching in-flight simply earlier than she drifts off.

On the filming location for Rebuilding:

It was Alamosa, Colorado, which I had by no means been to earlier than. Colorado usually is a state that I’ve not spent lots of time in, and it is a completely totally different world than what I’m used to—I grew up in a extremely small city in Massachusetts—and it was superb. Just driving down a kind of actually lengthy, actually straight roads and seeing that a lot sky, with the radio on, continues to be considered one of my favourite components of getting been there. And the sunsets had been completely unbelievable.

Her coolest filming location up to now:

Sicily [for The White Lotus] undoubtedly takes the cake. It’ll be actually laborious to beat that. We traveled round a bit whereas we had been filming and bopped from city to city, so we bought to see a good quantity of Sicily, which was great. Then we really completed the shoot in Rome. It was simply one of the vital stunning locations I’ve ever seen. There’s nonetheless a lot of Italy that I haven’t been to that I’m excited to discover. I like the tradition, I like the individuals, I like the meals. I simply haven’t any notes on Italy.

Her strategy to packing:

I’m form of a continual under-packer, as a result of I get actually overwhelmed when I’m doing it. So what I do to assuage myself is simply say, “Don’t worry about it! If you forget anything, you can just get things as you need them.” But I’ve not too long ago gotten into packing cubes. Honestly, it makes such an enormous distinction, not even when it comes to area essentially, however simply realizing the place every little thing is. I’m leaving on Monday to go to England to do a movie, and I’m going to be there for a few months, so I’m going to have three large trunks. When you’ve got that a lot baggage, it is actually laborious to know the place all of your stuff is, and it turns into irritating to be going by your bag on a regular basis looking for one factor. The packing cubes are actually useful with that organizational element.
