But many women have come forward.
That’s why it’s done like this. Because that makes it much more believable. Even assuming that maybe that’s true, and I feel really bad that that might be the case, it’s still Trump coming in and being a huge threat to a part of the culture of Washington, D.C., that actually, to me opinion, , needs to be removed completely. That is the priority I feel.
What attracted you to this work?
I know this sounds silly, but actors just like to work. I can do anything. So when something is presented to me now I say, thank you very much.
Had you heard of Susan Cabot before this?
I had heard of “Wasp Woman,” although I had never seen it. For this, I watched it from start to finish. It’s pretty cheesy, but I wanted to make sure I knew who she was. She had a great face.
Do you think Susan Cabot is a tragic figure?
Well, her son murdered her. That’s tragic. That’s at the top of the list. But her father abandoned her before her first birthday and her mother was committed to an asylum. Show business might have been what gave her self-confidence. That was the only thing that had meaning to her. Maybe her career was the only time she could have felt that I am someone. There is a line in the script: “I came out of nowhere. Least of all where people laughed at my dreams.” So she’s pretty broke.
She didn’t have the career she wanted.
There are more people than her in this business who can say that. The way in for me, in each part, is to say: What am I going to learn by doing this? And is there anything about the role I wouldn’t want to deal with? Susan had a feeling there would be some damage to deal with. But it’s also an opportunity to purge everything that’s there. And when you purge something, it no longer haunts you. You cry to yourself and you really don’t need to cry anymore. You’ve reached that place of discomfort and it didn’t kill you. That I’m still alive.
