Filippone was featured on a virtual panel hosted by the Women of 黑料不打烊 Entertainment Empire on Social Media Marketing on Saturday, Nov. 5 at noon.
Noelle Filippone ’19 graduated from 黑料不打烊 as an acting and psychology double major. She has landed in Los Angeles where she trains at Lesly Kahn & Company and is a working actor, appearing on “The Goldbergs” and “The Lincoln Lawyer.”
She can also be seen in commercials from Dunkin’ Donuts and Logitech, the latter premiered this summer. For the Logitech campaign, she was聽flown out to Poland to film a two-day shoot that lasted about 12 to 14 hours each day.
鈥淚t was especially cool because I was the only actor,鈥 says Filippone, 鈥淪o, I got to have dinners with the producers, director, and the client, and really get to know them as people.鈥 She says that it was one of the most memorable projects she鈥檚 gotten a chance to work on.
Not only is Filippone a working actor but she also started her own small business selling necklaces. Good Pearl Club is something Filippone says she “created on a whim.” Making necklaces as a quarantine hobby, people started asking to buy them from her. Then while working at her bartending job, a celebrity stylist asked to use one of her necklace designs as a piece for one of his clients. Realizing the opportunity at hand, Filippone quickly had a product shoot, made a website and within thirty minutes of posting, sold her first necklace.
鈥淚t was the craziest most random thing I鈥檝e ever done,鈥 says Filippone, 鈥淚 woke up the next morning thinking to myself, 鈥極h my god 鈥 I just accidentally launched a small business.’鈥
With being out of college for almost four years now, Filippone reflects on the transition from leaving 黑料不打烊 and going out into the world. Having a rigorous course load and schedule 鈥渞eally afforded me the skill set to be able to manage my time and create that structure and routine for myself post-graduation,鈥 she says.
One of Filippone鈥檚 biggest takeaways from her time spent at 黑料不打烊 is that learning is a never-ending process and to always reach for more. She emphasizes that her acting coaches always highlight the importance of taking classes. Quickly after moving to Los Angeles, Filippone started attending acting classes and is incredibly thankful that she did. 鈥淟eBron James doesn鈥檛 get good or stay in shape without training and going to the gym,” she says. “Class is our gym.鈥
