Amy Adams, Patricia Arquette, Rachel Brosnahan, Mandy Moore, Niecy Nash, Sandra Oh and other leading ladies open up about the unsung stars of their shows, drinking 'boatloads of coffee' and why meeting fellow Emmy nominee Bruce Springsteen would be 'the cherry on the cake.'
Audiences had a love-hate relationship with your character, Camille. Why do you think that is?
Eliza Scanlen. She’s just a beast, that’s what I call her. I thought she did such a great job with a character that could be really tricky, and it was such a mature and measured yet free performance. I can't wait to see what this girl does with her life and with her career through her choices because she's powerful. What was your reaction when you heard about the nomination?
Linda for sure, and Liz [Feldman, creator]. Everybody in the show is so brilliant. I was shocked that I was a part of it because the scope of female performances has been just extraordinary.What was the most difficult part of the physical transformation you underwent to play this character? Was there anyone from your show who wasn’t recognized with an Emmy nomination that you think should have been?
Michael Zegen, who plays the villainous Joel — who's not so much of a villain in the second season. It's not an easy role to play, the guy who left the main character you're supposed to love so much. His work continues to be stunning, layered and nuanced. The development of the relationship between Midge and Joel, particularly in this [third] season, has been one of my favorite parts of working on the show. Michael Zegen all the way.
Do you have any hopes for how Villanelle continues to evolve next season? What do you think drives her? We actually shot in the building that Ms. Salaam lives in now, so she would come downstairs and be sitting in the chair quietly while we were shooting. She and I had one of the most significant conversations that I have ever had with anybody in my life. Ms. Salaam to me is an American hero. She's from Alabama and she sort of came from this background of community organizing.
From shaving your head to wearing false teeth, how did you approach the physical transformation required for this role?
