The comedian with an admitted “hypochondriac tendency” on playing fellow neurotic Shirley on the TV adaptation of A League of Their Own.
over Zoom about playing the nervous Nellie of the Peaches, and how the show digs into the lives of the World War II–era ballplayers in ways the 1992 film didn’t dare.The show is incredibly physical. How did you prepare for filming? Had you played baseball before?I had never played baseball outside of maybe swinging a bat or something. But we had proper baseball training. And it was just so fun to bond together.
You’ve said that you’re a fan of the original movie and you’d watch it a lot growing up. I was so intrigued when I first learned that this adaptation deals with race and sexuality. What were your reactions when you got the scripts and were uncovering the story? The film of course is so great, but it’s definitely a homogenized version of what it was like for the women in the league and the women who were trying to join the league. So I was excited that this was a more nuanced portrait of that time.We truly all love each other. I know it’s a cliché at this point. I can’t believe I’m like an actress being like, “it was just so fun going to work every day.” But truly, this group was just so natural. It really did feel like sleepaway camp.
Oh, my God, thank you for being a hag. I was blown away by the quality of the Nutribullet. I was like, this is a $100 blender that’s operating at the level of a much more expensive one. I paid out of pocket. It’s such a crime.
