Anna Konkle Talks 'The Afterparty,' Moving Away From 'Hard Comedy' and the 'F---ed Up Love Story' of Her Upcoming Memoir
It’s July 11, the night before SAG-AFTRA’s last day of negotiating with the studios before the actors’ union would decide to go on strike, and tensions are high in Hollywood. Tensions are also high in Glendale, whereMinutes earlier, she’d limped into the dumpling restaurant — “I’m Anna!

“It felt like theater school again, doing Shakespeare one day and Mamet the next,” she says. “You don’t get that anymore. I remember doing scenes in college, being used to getting different characters all the time — and then when you’re out of school, most of us are just working and auditioning for commercials. You’re not using any of the things that you’ve been learning. It’s rare to get to do all the different kinds of characters that we’re getting to do in this.
“It felt like a conversation with all the things that I was insecure about,” she says. “I’m gonna be in a bathing suit three months after I had a baby, and gained 50 pounds — but this is the decision I’m making. I tend to do things that make me uncomfortable.” Konkle describes the narrative as a “fucked up love story” between her parents, who are “very funny and very unique people,” and raised her to be the same way. She laughs now when she tells me about some of her angstiest memories: “I remember getting in a huge fight with my mom and writing in my journal, ‘I never want to be like her.’ It’s harsh. And after, I was like, ‘Mom, I wrote something, and I need to read it to you.’ I was probably, like, 10.
