Parker Posey talks BeauIsAfraid on ColliderLadiesNight! 'I'm a middle-aged woman. Like, what? And now I'm doing this?'
We’ve got another bucket list guest on Collider Ladies Night! Between my Scream obsession and the fact that I’ve been watching her make characters purely her own via daring performances nearly my entire life, it was the ultimate treat to welcome Parker Posey to the show in celebration of the release of Beau Is Afraid.
But, before even getting to a single film title, Posey took a moment to look back at her time studying drama at SUNY Purchase. Here’s what she said when asked for something she learned in that program that she still refers back to often today: “You come to set with a lot of people and it takes a little while to get used to not wanting to know everybody's name and their job and what they're doing, letting go of things to be in your own worlds, and the different relationships to that, to the different people on sets, whether it's your DP, continuity. I want to make sure my lines are good so I can perform. So yeah, there's a lot of different jobs, but also, every job is so different. It's a real collaboration.
“[Don] cast Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He was also the inspiration for David Rabe’s Hurlyburly. There's a casting director who's the lead of that and he does a lot of blow and he's just got a big heart, and Don was the inspiration for that. So he had a huge heart and he loved all of us and kept in touch with a lot of us and was so supportive.”
“There's something so interesting about really trusting the other person that you're in those hands. And for me at least, in a way, we do write our own dialogue and the research. Like with Meg Swan, lots of people had dogs back then and they were like surrogate children. Best in Show was initially called Dogland, and it did seem like people were having dogs and not babies. And yeah, you just kind of glean and research and think of what dog owners are.
