Carrie Preston Reflects on Iconic 'My Best Friend's Wedding' Scene That Took Two Days to Shoot (Exclusive)

Preston talks about her latest role on CBS' 'Elsbeth' and looks back at a classic movie at the start of her career.

The Elsbeth star joined ET's Rachel Smith on one of New York City's iconic double decker buses and reflected on the scene in 1997's My Best Friend's Wedding, where her family left Julia Robert's character, Julianne, sinking in her seat during a cringe-worthy dinner -- where the entire seafood restaurant breaks out into "I Say a Little Prayer." The 41-year-old star also co-starred with Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin on HBO's True Blood for seven seasons, and recently had a role alongside Paul Giamatti and Oscar-winning actress Da'Vine Joy Randolph in The Holdovers. Preston's latest role, Elsbeth, is more of a full-circle moment, as she initially played the character during season 1 of The Good Wife alongside Julianna Margulies and Christine Baranski.
