![]() There were some things I was conscious of, but I wasn’t there for everything. I was so wrapped up in what I was doing, I wasn’t really stopping to think about her performance. When I saw it, I was blown away by her performance. I always loved Paula, no matter what she did. I had no hesitation or reservation, whether someone liked me or didn’t like me. I explored it physically and there was the whole sexual side of her. I just loved everything about my character. ![]() And then, from there, I just fell in love with the character. It was a gift because I don’t think anybody would have thought about me to play this because I’ve never done it before, and until you do something, people don’t know you’re capable of doing it. She was like, “Oh, my God, I know who’s perfect for this. So, I grew up in this really crazy environment, and Margaret knew that. It was an embarrassment to have any kind of mental illness. They didn’t have the support system back then. She knew that I’ve had personal experiences with mental illness because my mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia right after I was born and had shock treatments, and then came home to be really left alone. I was relieved, especially for this role. But I feel like she feels secure that she’s already acknowledged herself, independently from me, and she was comfortable with the idea of working with me. MacDOWELL: No, I was actually astounded that she wanted me to play this because it’s been really important for her to make her own road and to have her own journey. Were you hesitant at all about doing it? Did you immediately want to work with her, or were you nervous about it at all? Collider: You’re terrific in this, and seeing you and your daughter together was just really tremendous to watch.ĪNDIE MacDOWELL: Thank you.
