Louisa Jacobson, Taissa Farmiga, and Denée Benton may play characters expected to follow strict etiquette on ‘The Gilded Age,’ but do their real-life manners hold up? The co-stars put their common courtesy to the test—from how to handle being turned away at a party (no problem, their couches are waiting) to what to do when someone won’t stop texting in the theater. They’re not above pressing the “door close” button in the elevator, but they’ll still be polite if a fan mistakes them for another celebrity (especially if it’s Dakota Fanning). And if their parents try to meddle in their love lives, they’ll ever-so-politely say, “No thank you, ma’am.”
