Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon on the Racial Politics of LittleFiresEverywhere
Kerry Washington
“When I read the book, I just thought it was a beautiful exploration about different kinds of mothering,” Witherspoon explained. “And I thought nobody would be a better scene partner or partner at behind the scenes actually, truthfully, than Kerry. She’s known as such an incredibly professional person, but she’s also a lot of fun.
“Did you guys talk about it when you were considering calling me for the role?” Washington asked Witherspoon. “You add on top of that this layer of the entire power structure of the show being all female, all women [including Washington, Witherspoon and showrunner Liz Tigelaar at the top of the pyramid],” Jackson continued. “I thought that was an interesting take on it too because it’s important to have different perspectives telling stories.”
