Hennesy has been nominated for "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Digital Drama Series" for playing Gloria in
Studio City on Amazon Prime, which was created by
Sean Kanan. "The nomination was really lovely to see. That was really nice," she admitted.
The show itself scored a total of eight 2020 Daytime Emmy nominations. "I really love this show so much and I want it to go more places and bigger screens," she said. "The eight nominations are wonderful. I am so in love with this show that I am not surprised.
Studio City is charming, profound, and poignant. It has very detailed and subtle acting in it from actors that are normally known from soap operas but they are not known for subtlety. I am grateful and thrilled."
Her fellow
Studio City co-star and "Supporting Actress" Emmy nominee
Patrika Darbo described Hennesy as a "brilliant actress."
Hennesy also complimented Sarah Joy Brown for her acting performance in the digital drama series
Studio City, and she hopes that in the future, she gets more screentime (and a longer script) to showcase her "glorious" character.
In addition to her acting endeavors, Hennesy is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, animal welfarist, as well as an enthusiastic trapeze artist. "The static trapeze is the rig I have at the end of my driveway, and that's a single trapeze. I am doing that every day. I find the trapeze enthralling and liberating," she said. "Our long-time teacher, Richie Gaona retired and shut down his rig because of the lockdown. That was a severe blow. I am still in a state of shock."
Studio City is available for streaming on
Amazon Prime Video.
