David Duchovny’s Tennis Coach Is Excited to Have Her Truth Out There

2:27AM Kyle Buchanan | Like a good episode of The X-Files, David Duchovny’s autumn has incorporated one twist after another: shocking revelations (his sex addiction!), creepy, cigarette-smoking men (Billy Bob Thornton!) and now, finally, a guest star who truly is special.
