Octavia Spencer Gives Hilarious Answer on Why She Joined 'Red Band Society'

Octavia Spencer dons a little black dress while hitting up the Fox Summer TCA All Star Party at an exclusive hotspot on Sunday (July 20) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 44-year-old actress was joined at the party by her co-stars Dave Annable and Charlie Rowe.

Earlier in the day, Octavia sported curls while attending a panel for her new show Red Band Society during the FOX Network portion of the 2014 TCA Summer Press Tour held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

At the panel, Octavia and Dave were joined by their co-stars Astro, Zoe Levin, Griffin Gluck, Wilson Cruz, and Rebecca Rittenhouse.

“I got really tired of being a sex symbol,” Octavia joked at the panel about why she signed on for the project.

Red Band Society centers on the “lives of a group of teenagers living in a hospital.”
