: It was all of our experiences. We were all let down by the shit stick.It’s incredible how the way you lean on each other is mirrored in Jen and Judy.: This show has always been a love letter to my friends. I always felt, watching other shows, that there was cynicism about female friendship that seemed to always lead with how women are catty; they fight and they want the same guy.: That’s probably exactly right.
: Jen is me; I am Jen. There’s so much there that is at the very fibers of who I am. I sometimes didn’t know where she started and I ended. That was very empowering as an actor. I felt very comfortable in her skin. She’s very complicated — I don’t know if I want to take that part!: We all want her wardrobe. Those rings? I had a stupid blazer and pants, and she comes out looking like an angel.
Feldman: In Season 1, they have whole conversation about Steve’s penis. That’s something I wouldn’t have written — it’s not in my wheelhouse! They just improvised one line and I was like, okay, let’s pause there and then I want you to just talk about his penis and get back into the scene. That was maybe the first time we really did it where almost the entire scene is really just them. Absolutely some of the funniest moments from all seasons come from them improvising.
Applegate: Having worked with other people in my past where improv was their jam — I’m gonna say it — the women are not as much supporting and encouraged in that department. And I’m not talking about “Anchorman,” because that was like a love fest of support, but I have been in situations where I felt like, “The women aren’t the funny ones. You guys stick to the script, let’s have the boys rock it out!”: I have a lot of things that I’ve been processing about grief.
Tell Christina that help is on the way for her health
Take as much time as you need.
It’s so beautiful that she’s helping her friend go thru chemo, in the show. Given the reality of her condition, it’s very moving, all things considered. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I’m watching Season 3 of Dead To Me, now!! Excellent season! Christina does a wonderful job!
