Kristin Chenoweth is doing fine after suffering a migraine and seeking medical attention at last night’s Primetime Emmy Awards in Hollywood, her publicist tells The Associated Press.
Paramedics were called backstage at the Nokia Theater after the star, who won her first Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Emmy Award for her role as Olive Snook on the now-defunct ABC series Pushing Daisies,first complained about a migraine headache, then said she couldn’t open her eyes.
Paramedics on site cared for the star in the room outside of the backstage gift lounge. She rested and then left the ceremony.
Kristin, who had given a tearful acceptance speech just moments before, wasted no time using the award as a new resume booster.
“I’m unemployed now so I’d like to be on ‘Mad Men,’” she said while accepting the award. “I also like ‘The Office’ and ‘24.’”
Chenoweth is also known for her award-winning performance in the Broadway musical Wicked.
