In a refreshing interview with the "Kelly Clarkson Show," actress Elizabeth Banks reminisced about her early career, including a stint as a hotel housekeeper. During her time cleaning rooms, she encountered an unpleasant aspect of the job – discovering inappropriate items discarded in toilets.
Before making her mark in Hollywood, Banks, now 51, worked various jobs to make ends meet. Among them was a decade spent working as a waitress and housekeeper at a bed-and-breakfast. In a candid conversation with Clarkson, who jokingly referred to her role as a housekeeper as elegant, Banks shared some hard-earned wisdom from her youth.
"I had to pull out a significant number of condoms and tampons from the toilets when I was a 17-year-old," she revealed. "Please, only flush toilet paper down the toilet," Banks implored viewers, emphasizing the importance of this simple act for the hygiene and workload of housekeeping staff.
Banks views her time spent in less-than-glamorous jobs as formative experiences. "Kelly, I can go anywhere," she told the host, acknowledging that such jobs had taken her to unconventional places. Despite the challenges, she remains undeterred, having transitioned from acting to directing and producing films. With a successful career spanning acting roles in acclaimed films like "The Hunger Games" and "Pitch Perfect," her new Prime Video series, "The Better Sister," marks another notable milestone.
