These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous "insiders." After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question and answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?
We all remember Taylor Townsend, the type-A character among "The O.C." bunch who, after a round of playground-style taunting, eventually becomes romantically entangled with bad boy Ryan Atwood. But Autumn Reeser, who brought Taylor to life on the small screen, is a long way from the sandy shore.
The brunette beauty currently stars on ABC's "Last Resort" -- that is when she's not busy chasing her toddler son, Finn.
HuffPost Celebrity chatted with Reeser about what it is that could land her on death row and how she likes to pack her scooped-out bagels, of course.
