celebrity family feud Jenny Slate's Modern Twist on Her Old Hollywood Glamour Photoshoot | Alexa | New York Post Fashion

Jenny Slate may be a stunner in Old Hollywood glamour for our cover shoot, but make no mistake: This is a woman deeply, joyfully in touch with her inner gawky teen. As the braces-encumbered Missy on Netflix’s raunchy animated series “Big Mouth,” Slate embarked on a sweet, if spitty, relationship with John Mulaney’s character last year, and she’s back for more in the new season (released last week).

From "Jenny Slate talks sexual angst and her feminist wake-up call": https://nypost.com/2018/10/09/jenny-s...

“Recording ‘Big Mouth’ makes me feel such tenderness for my teen self,” says the petite comedian and actress, feet tucked up on her couch with the head of her elderly bichon frisé, Reggie, in her lap. The Massachusetts native was “a pretty close sister to Missy,” she says. “My diary from being 13 years old is filled with what boys I liked and ‘Why haven’t I hit puberty?’ — which was years away. I was a teeny, tiny gal for so long!”

The actress has been working so consistently since that purchase (shooting the Marvel movie “Venom,” out now, and a lead role in an upcoming Scandinavian drama), she hasn’t had time to really settle in.

In August, she was back in New York, the city where she got a degree in English and comparative lit from Columbia, then ran a comedy night for years in Williamsburg with fellow comics Gabe Liedman and Max Silvestri. This time, she arrived with a bit more celebrity heft, as host of a splashy 25th anniversary bash for the feminist magazine Bust. Even for a seasoned stand-up like Slate (check out her critically acclaimed 2014 film “Obvious Child” for a sampling), this was a daunting gig. Some badass ladies were in that room: Erykah Badu, Eve Ensler, and Phoebe Robinson of “2 Dope Queens.”

“I’m trying to figure out how to be in the world as a woman, without being a woman who’s attached to a man,” she says. Known in recent years for an on-again, off-again relationship with Captain America heartthrob and Twitter mensch Chris Evans, she’s diving into the relatively uncharted waters of singledom.

Before Evans, she was married from 2012 to 2016 to filmmaker Dean Fleischer-Camp, with whom she created the buzzy stop-motion short “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” and its two sequels; the pair are currently collaborating on a feature-film version of that quirky world. Their relationship, now platonic, remains solid.

The first “Marcel,” in 2010, was one of Slate’s first big forays into voice work; since then, she’s played parts in blockbuster animated films like “The Secret Life of Pets,” “Zootopia” and “The Lego Batman Movie,” alongside edgier cult cartoons like “Bob’s Burgers” and “Adventure Time.” Her success in this realm is no surprise. She’s got a voice that’s both adorably squeaky and downright husky, kind of an aural approximation of her dichotomous 15-year-old self.

Slate often finds that catharsis onstage. “A weird stereotype about comedians is that they’re really depressive,” she says. “For me, I think I do comedy because my inner world is begging to be let out into the external one.”

Acting in a comic-book movie also syncs up with her mission to right wrongs. She’s not the lead in “Venom” — that would be Tom Hardy, the titular, journalist antihero — and she won’t say much about her role in advance, per the tight-lipped Marvel p.r. playbook. But here is what she’ll share:

The jury’s still out on whether she will make it through a screening of the film. “I’m a scaredy-cat, and Venom is a really extreme character.”

Slate found a surprising remedy for her fears while shooting her next film, “The Sunlit Night,” in Arctic Norway. “The sun never set. It made me feel awesome, because I tend to sleep with the light on.” She plays an American visual artist apprenticing with a housepainter, under German director David Wnendt, who helmed the gloriously profane, riot-grrrl-toned indie “Wetlands.” Slate’s a producer on this film, too — another first.
