'How I Learned to Drive' Star Mary-Louise Parker Admits She's Not a Great Driver

Mary-Louise Parker doesn’t have a lot of confidence in her driving skills.

The 57-year-old actress stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Thursday (April 28), where she discussed her role in the play How I Learned to Drive and said she considers herself the “worst driver alive.”

Mary-Louise described the show, which centers on a woman realizing her uncle was sexually abusive through a series of flashbacks, “quite heavy.”

“[Playwright] Paula [Vogel] says it’s about the gifts from people who hurts us, and learning to forgive yourself,” she said. “Sometimes we blame ourselves when other people hurt us and it’s about learning how to let go of that.”

“So 25 years later, is it true that you still don’t know how to drive?” Seth asked.

“No, I’m the worst driver,” the actress replied.

“Not only is it about driving, but I have to mime. I’m a horrible mime,” she added, explaining that often when she was pretending to drive a car the steering wheel would gradually grow smaller and revealing that she had accidentally mimed turning the ignition key the wrong way.
