Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett -- Taryn Manning's character on "Orange is the New Black" -- wouldn't be our first stop for beauty advice. (She has about three teeth and doesn't even wear bootleg prison makeup.) Taryn Manning the actress, on the other hand, couldn't be prettier or more approachable in person.

We caught up with Manning at a dinner for celebrity hair colorist Beth Minardi (she had just given Manning glossy, reddish highlights), and asked the star to fill out our Five Things questionnaire. Here it is -- along with a doodle of one of Manning's album covers. (Did you know that the multi-talented actress is also a DJ and singer?)



Hello, my name is: Taryn Manning

For breakfast today, I had: coffee and a Kashi peanut peanut butter bar

Three interesting things in my purse right now: Rose salve lip balm, my iPhone, blue leather gloves

The one beauty product I can't live without: Dry shampoo saves me!

One thing people would be surprised to know about me: I play a tough ass, but I am as kind as a kitten.
