Dorinda Medley is doing very well, b—h.

Especially after landing her debut acting role in season two of Hulu’s legal drama All’s Fair. So, how did the former Bravolebrity actually book very first TV appearance as an actress?

“I auditioned on a Friday and they gave me the role the following week and I filmed a week later,” Dorinda told E! News The Rundown‘s Erin Lim Rhodes at the NYC premiere of her new E! series The Golden Life on Oct. 14.  “So, it was cold turkey.”

“I almost died when I got the role,” she added. “It was fantastic. But acting is hard.”

To prepare, the 61-year-old did seek some help from her church friend, who used to be Zsa Zsa Gabor’s acting coach.

And while the former Upper East Side housewife wouldn’t spill too many details about who she plays, she did tell E!, “I play a very interesting character that’s very well-suited to me. You’ll see it and be like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s her.’”

And, yes, she did work directly with series stars Kim Kardashian and Glenn Close.
