Even though Taylor Schilling plays a prisoner on Netflix’s hit show, Orange Is the New Black, she is anything but locked up in real life. The actress opens up to The Edit about her unconventional childhood and how it led her to become the “rogue” person she is today.
Splitting time between her divorced parents, Schilling realized early on that her childhood was anything but normal. Her parents didn’t get along, which ultimately meant that she had to adapt to her surroundings given the circumstances.
“I think I was just born rogue,” she tells the magazine. “My parents did not have a good relationship. There was no sense of, ‘This is where you belong. This is how you have a friend over for a tea party. This is how you go to a dance’. It was chaotic. I thought, well, I might as well go off-map.”
