‘The Paper’s Self-Confessed “Drama Queen” Sabrina Impacciatore Recalls Her ‘White Lotus’ Friendship With Jennifer Coolidge

“She thinks big,” says Sabrina Impacciatore of her delightfully catty character in The Paper, in which the Italian actress plays Esmeralda Grand, managing editor of the Toledo Truth Teller and TTT Online. Conceived as a Halloween dress-up icon, Esmerelda exists almost entirely to thwart the idealistic new editor and his dreams of keeping journalism alive.

Sabrina Impacciatore's character in 'The Paper' is inspired by real-life editors who have faced the challenges of modern journalism, reflecting the ongoing battle between idealism and reality in the industry.
