Claire Foy fears she scared the young stars of WomenTalking. 'I wanted them to know that they were not at the mercy of the system.'
Claire Foy is a hugely talented pro. She’s been delivering big on screen and on stage for years, she won two Emmys for her work in The Crown, she earned four BAFTA nominations, two for The Crown, one for First Man and another for Wolf Hall, and now she’s rightfully in the awards season conversation yet again for her performance in Sarah Polley’s Women Talking. However, even with all those achievements, she hesitates to give herself credit for giving her young Women Talking co-stars good advice.
Foy has certainly hit a point where she can help carve a better path forward for newer actors like her Women Talking co-stars Kate Hallett and Liv McNeil who both make their feature acting debuts with the film. But, of course, there was a time when Foy herself was new to the craft and had a lot to learn. She recalled:
“I think one of the voice teachers at the school once said, ‘If you're on stage or you're acting in some way and you're feeling like it's not happening, just stop and take a breath. Just take a breath! You're probably not breathing,’ which is really important. But also for me, I fundamentally realized that acting genuinely was not about myself. It was about affecting another person, it was about the person you were acting with.
Foy’s certainly honed her craft over the years, but there are always new lessons to learn, both in front of and behind the lens. For instance, it can mean one thing to film and television fans watching an actor experience a “breakout opportunity," but it can mean something else to the person who’s actually going through it.
