Jacopo Venturini
seat mate, Parker Posey
“She was like, ‘I’ve never done this before.’ And I said, ‘Me neither,’” Posey says of taking in the Valentino show last month next to Roan. “Which is hard to believe, but it’s so different now than it was 25 years ago. I just didn’t do it. I was just busy doing other stuff. But I love it now.”
“I think she is just really smart and that’s what makes her characters so adored and iconic,” says Sam Nivola, who portrays Posey’s youngest son, Lochlan. “She does the majority of her work before we get to set, in that she is big on preparation, and I think that really pays dividends because she has a really thorough backstory for every character she plays and as a result can improvise her ass off. And her intelligence just means that her preparation work is hilarious and deep no matter what.”
“My favorite scene to film with Parker was one I had been dreading,” says Sarah Catherine Hook, the Piper of “Piper, noooooo” fame. “As you’ve all seen, in the opening of episode six, she and I are screaming our faces off. I told her how nervous I was because I’ve never thought I was very good at those types of scenes. She looked at me and said, ‘We just have to have fun, Sarah Catherine!’ — and that’s exactly what we did. We laughed our way through the entire sequence, being crazy, screaming queens. I’ll never forget it.”
Victoria, the matriarch of the Ratliff family with a penchant for lorazepam, could easily come across as judgmental, Posey says — hence the need to make her so funny.
“If she hadn’t been funny, she could come across as really terrible,” Posey adds.
my dad was really funny — there is lots of funny in my family,” Posey says. “You leave your home country for almost seven months, and I just thought a lot about honoring that, the funny in my family.”
