'High Desert': Bernadette Peters on Patricia Arquette and the West End
[Editor's Note: This interview contains minor spoilers for High Desert.]It’s no stretch to say that Bernadette Peters is a living legend. Though she’s perhaps best-known for her work in the theatre, having been nominated for seven Tonys for shows like Sunday in the Park with George, Song and Dance, Annie Get Your Gun, and Gypsy. She’s also had a successful career on the screen.
COLLIDER: You said in an interview that you always have to find a way to connect with your characters, even if they initially feel sort of far away from you. How did you find that connection with Rosalyn? PETERS: That was great. Harlow plays her mother as a young girl, and she's a wonderful new actress that's come on the scene. It just felt so great. And she auditioned for the role, you know — she wasn’t just given it. She was auditioning for the role, she got the role, and she's another great Arquette that's another great actress. That was a thrill to be able to be there with her.
And speaking of Pioneertown, I'm so curious about what it was like to like act in that environment. It looks like such a fun set to be on, and there’s so much wacky stuff going on. Can you talk a little bit about filming in that environment?PETERS: But apparently, there is. What was interesting was that we were dressed in these pioneer clothes with corsets and hats, but we're not pioneer women.
I feel like their dynamic and Peggy mourning her mother is kind of the heart and the core of the show. One of my favorite lines that I think is going to really stick with me for a long time is when Peggy asks her mother where she went after she died, and she says, “That would be like trying to tell an unborn baby what life is like.” That's such a beautiful line.
