Welcome to younghollywood. com.

Young Hollywood

What's up, guys?

Young Hollywood

Leslie Robbins here for Young Hollywood.

Young Hollywood

And today, we are crashing the pad of Entourage's sexy studio deck, Dana Gordon.

Young Hollywood

Or as her friends know her as, Constance Zimmer.

Young Hollywood

Let's see what she's like when she's not giving Ari Gold a hard time.

Young Hollywood

You're like, I'm just going to walk into this door.

Young Hollywood

Oh, hi.

Young Hollywood

We're officially crashing your pad.

Constance Zimmer

I'm all right.

Constance Zimmer

I love it.

Constance Zimmer

Welcome to my pad.

Young Hollywood

You want to show us around?

Constance Zimmer

I guess so.

Constance Zimmer

Is that what I'm supposed to do?

Constance Zimmer

Okay, come on.

Constance Zimmer

So, this is, uh, I guess, you know, what we would call our TV family room.

Constance Zimmer

Um, cross into here.

Constance Zimmer

And this would be now our like fireplace dining.

Constance Zimmer

This is when the next part of the house.

Constance Zimmer

What I love is that you can honestly see the three rooms in one shot.

Constance Zimmer

That's how small this house is.

Constance Zimmer

So then walk and honestly, just turn your head because now you're in the kitchen.

Constance Zimmer

The kitchen is all like from the original, the house is from, I think, 1949.

Young Hollywood

More than us.

Constance Zimmer

I believe.

Constance Zimmer

Yes.

Young Hollywood

Much older.

Constance Zimmer

Much older.

Constance Zimmer

But this is kind of what really sold us on the house, was that this view and just the view in general.

Young Hollywood

All right, so we're crashing your pad now and it's about quarter after five in this evening.

Young Hollywood

What goes down in this house at this time?

Constance Zimmer

Uh, it's when we tend to like to make cocktails.

Constance Zimmer

Yeah.

Constance Zimmer

So what you do is you can do any, we like to do strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cucumbers, mint, a little bit of lemon.

Constance Zimmer

Put it all in this cup.

Young Hollywood

All of it.

Constance Zimmer

I'm going to just squeeze of lemon.

Young Hollywood

All right, so now what you do is you're going to put in one ounce of the Pims.

Young Hollywood

Not Pims.

Constance Zimmer

Pims.

Constance Zimmer

Yeah.

Constance Zimmer

1 ounce of the Pims just so you have something to actually muddle.

Constance Zimmer

And then you just pray that it tastes good.

Young Hollywood

Cheers.

Constance Zimmer

Cheers.

Young Hollywood

Oh, that's good.

Young Hollywood

Oh, man.

Constance Zimmer

So, and then this is what we do.

Constance Zimmer

We just go downstairs, we go downstairs on our deck if you want to if you want to join me.

Constance Zimmer

And then maybe that's where my daughter will might put on a show.

Constance Zimmer

I don't know, we'll see.

Young Hollywood

So, we go back about seven, eight years.

Young Hollywood

I've known you.

Constance Zimmer

Yeah.

Constance Zimmer

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Since Good Morning Miami.

Constance Zimmer

Yeah.

Constance Zimmer

Mhm.

Young Hollywood

Compare those days to now.

Constance Zimmer

Well, you know, I think I always just hoped that I would work as an actress, and I think the other stuff you kind of always just believe that it's going to happen.

Young Hollywood

So if you weren't acting, I mean, you're on a hit show now.

Young Hollywood

I mean, God bless you.

Young Hollywood

It's awesome.

Constance Zimmer

Right?

Constance Zimmer

It's great.

Constance Zimmer

It's been like the greatest job in the world.

Constance Zimmer

It's like, I've been on it for five years and I think the amount of episodes I've done actually only equals one season.

Constance Zimmer

So it's like, it's pretty fantastic.

Young Hollywood

So tell me about your audition for Dana.

Constance Zimmer

I was auditioning for it and and I didn't really want to audition for it.

Constance Zimmer

And everybody around me, agents and managers, they all said, you know, this is the hottest show on television.

Constance Zimmer

You really need to audition for it.

Constance Zimmer

And I said, okay, fine.

Constance Zimmer

So, I I feel like I kind of went into the room with maybe a sense of aloofness and they probably were like, why does she not care about our show?

Constance Zimmer

And the part was so small.

Constance Zimmer

It was like, you had to audition with one line, which was like on the phone.

Constance Zimmer

I said, really, do you really want me to do this scene?

Constance Zimmer

Like it's one line on the phone.

Constance Zimmer

And I think they all kind of looked at me and thought, wow, this girl has an ego.

Constance Zimmer

And I'm sure that, you know, now when you see Dana, you realize that that is kind of very much a part of what she is.

Constance Zimmer

So, I'm not saying that I personally am a bitch at all.

Constance Zimmer

That's what I'm saying.

Young Hollywood

All right.

Young Hollywood

So, Young Hollywood came, crashed your pad.

Constance Zimmer

Yes.

Young Hollywood

What I got to say, the epitomy of Young Hollywood, can you point to me?

Young Hollywood

This is Young Hollywood right here.

Young Hollywood

I'm going to give her a cue.

Young Hollywood

Ready?

Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood.

Young Hollywood

Say thank you, Young Hollywood.

At Home
