The actress on the parallels of playing one of history's most misunderstood figures.
Dec 9 2021, 5:03 pm ESTOne thing becomes certain when you're watching the AMC+ miniseriesThis new retelling, the first to be made by a nearly all-female creative team, presents the downfall of the 16th-century queen as a psychological drama.
“I became a mom, and now that’s the most important lens that I see her story through,” she says. “This is a mother who was trying to survive for herself and for child, and who was trying to leave a legacy for her child that made it so that she could have a seat at the table. And, I mean, she succeeded.”
I had always just gone with what I'd learned and what I've seen thus far in pop culture about her. I never had dived into her story to really see her humanity, and just went with the sensationalized versions of her. So this was a different perspective that I was intrigued by. Yeah. It's such a heartbreaking thing to go through, and what's even more heartbreaking is just the lack of compassion that was held for any woman who was in that position, at least by Henry. He was singular in his approach to achieving an heir. Women in that time [and now], we're still told in many ways that our value is tied up in our ability to produce children. Look at what's happening right now, where this country is standing at the precipice of overturning.
