Heather Graham appeared on the Today show in Manhattan Saturday to discuss Lifetime's If There Be Thorns.

The 45-year-old actress endured three hours of make-up each day to reprise her role as twisted grandmother Corrine Dollanganger Foxworth Winslow.

'Basically, you pull your face really tight and they put this clear gel on you, and then when you loosen your face you get all these wrinkles,' the Californication stunner explained.

'It's basically the opposite of what you normally try to do as a woman. But it's a good feeling when you wash it off. You're like, "Please take this off!" It makes you freak out about ageing. You're like "Ahhh!"'

The third installment of the VC Andrews' book series - also starring Jason Lewis - premieres Sunday on Lifetime.

'I think I'm even more creepy this time,' Graham admitted.

Lighten and whiten your day like Heather in a strapless jumpsuit

Show off those sexy collar bones like Heather Graham in a strapless white jumpsuit. Spring is in full swing and this is the blank canvas that you need to grab. She styled it perfectly for the Today Show with pops of crimson on her strappy sandals and her overcoat.

With such an exposed neckline, she threw on a long necklace. We also could see this jumpsuit worn with a statement collar or necklace.

While white is often a color that tends to widen, the pleated design of the pants part will certainly hide any lumps and bumps and the sweatheart neckline draws attention upwards.

Check out the strapless white jumpsuits we found. Our favorite is the Myne one from shopbop but the one at Daily Look is a steal at under $60!
