If you are struggling with an eating disorder, or know someone who is, help is available.
So it was kind of the waning of one period and the rise of another.
And, yeah, that was the beginning of it.
So those threads all came together in writing the script.
Did your time on “Desperate Housewives” influence the show at all?
Working on that show really did inspire me in a lot of ways.
You got a real sense of being part of that show.
It does give you permission and inspire you to not pull punches when it comes to female characters.
What similarities do you see between the two shows?
Well, like I said, I think they both feature women that out of …
I guess you could say desperate circumstances, do things to challenge social norms and expectations.
So this is someone with the whole palette to offer.
And in this part, she really gets to use all of those colors in the painting.
It was just a joy to get to work with her.
She’s a fearless actress.
She’s a fun and open collaborator.
We just had a great time building this together.
Any fun stories or memorable moments with her that you’re free to share from the set?
It was, “Sorry, there was a clerical error on our end.”
She tried so hard to say it.
She tried about 10 times, “No, no, no.
I’m going to get it.
I’m going to get it.”
And then finally I just changed it to “mistake.”
It was like “error” was just one too many Rs to give her.
So I did torture her sometimes in the accent area, but she always was up for the challenge.
Oh, yeah, exactly.
Yeah, that’s the same issue of those tricky Rs.
Bryan Fuller created it, a wonderful writer.
So, yeah, that would be a fun one to see happen again.
