Connie Britton Instagram – Merci to @canneseries and @variety for the incredibly humbling honor of receiving the Variety Icon Award last night! Being on the “pink carpet” in Cannes – those iconic steps, that iconic place! – was pretty much a thrill of a lifetime. And since I still can’t quite fathom “icon” status, it leaves me a lot to live up to and work toward. I am so grateful. And thanks to my BFF (since my first series ever!) @carlagugino for being my Cannes ride or die! 💗
