Seemingly able to work in everything, everywhere, all at once (sorry, A24), Britt Lower is a TV actress, filmmaker, and performer—between shooting—in the Shoestring Circus. (She credits her mother’s face-painting business for encouraging the pursuit of the latter.) Now the Illinois native stars alongside Adam Scott in Severance—Ben Stiller’s ultra-popular psychological thriller about employees whose brains have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. To celebrate the long-awaited second season of the series, Lower shares her key components to the good life. —Carolina de Armas
