DARIEN, CT — She's battled zombies, serial killers and other monsters in her movies and television shows, but one thing has Darien native and famous actor Chloë Sevigny spooked, and that's driving.

The star of such hits as "Big Love" and "Boys Don't Cry" recently told The Guardian that after being pulled over for speeding in New York State - and learning that there was an active warrant for her from 1991 - she's stopped driving.

"I could have been arrested," she told The Guardian, adding that she had no memory of the incident that led to the warrant. "The trooper let me off. I haven't driven since."

In an interview over the summer with the Darien Times to discuss her recent film, "The Dead Don't Die" which also stars Bill Murray and Adam Driver, Sevigny also discussed her continued love for her hometown.

"I come back a few times a month," the now New York City resident told the Darien Times. "I love having this small town to come back to and seeing people I've known my entire life."
