well, 這篇文章其實是我在找TLW Helena照片時跑出來的網頁(笑)
小海真的好好好好好好好好好好好好美啊啊啊(扭動)
咳，好的。
最近補TLW補到s3，雖然我知道劇裡大部分演員都不是同，
但因為實在感性面無法接受(?)，所以現在都會想找一些演員訪談之類的，看看他們對於TLW或是LGBT議題的看法。
只要是正面的言論就會覺得好安慰的啊啊QWQ
說了這麼長篇大論呢，其實我也沒有要翻譯以下訪談的意思，只是純粹想記錄這樣((被打
全文訪談了不只一位女演員，而Rachel Shelley(也就是Helena)是其中一位。
這裡只貼出有關Rachel Shelley的訪談中關於TLW的部分(sorry我就是只對小海感興趣~~~~((被打again)
想看Rachel的其他Q&A或是其他女演員的訪談的話請移駕至文末連結謝謝~
What was your audition like for "The L Word?"
“ 'The L Word' was quite a process. First I made a self-tape with a friend, one hungover morning. Not sure if it was ever seen. Then a UK casting director put me on tape here in London. Then they flew me out to LA to test. The creator and casting and various executives were there in a board room. The character breakdown was full of delicious hyperbole, so I relished every move. Wait, I can dig it out for you somewhere...
Here it is: 'Late 20’s to early 30’s, no make-up. Katherine Hepburn style by way of $5000 worth of man-styled couture. Relaxed, with a supremely enfranchised bearing, stunningly beautiful. A bare suggestion of earthy butch equanimity. Unselfconsciously sensuous, with a killer smile. She sips her tea and this simple act is made portentous. Subtle yet provocative, she directs her beam that takes [the woman] in and undresses her. Gorgeous and icy, we’re struck by her presence and beauty. Every move and exchange only serves to underscore Helena’s power.' “
Have you ever been romantically and/or sexually attracted to women in real life?
“Attracted maybe, but fleetingly. I didn't have much time to extensively prepare and research for the audition, you rarely do, and from my LA test I went immediately to Canada to work so all my 'research' was in situ really. But I have a bunch of lesbian friends anyway so it wasn't that much of a stretch. And Helena was never a very sceney lesbian. She operated away from and above the usual dyke bars, possibly with a little disdain. She was a law unto herself, and that enfranchised, power thing was what I worked on more, taking snippets from different women I knew in my life and the actress who played my mother (Holland Taylor) already on the show. I watched her scenes again and again before the test in LA.”
Did you ever fear that your role of Helena Peabody would typecast you?
“I would have happily been typecast! I loved Helena Peabody. Long may she live!”
What's the protocol when doing a same-sex scene?
“We always did episodic table reads and woe betide anyone who tried to wriggle out of them. Sex scenes usually involved a lot of discussion and a bit of planning with the director and the creator or showrunner before hand so no-one, especially if there were guest stars, freaked out on set when the clock would be ticking. Being friends made things easier actually. You can be open and talk things through and laugh about them. Sex scenes with women are easier than with men. Women protect each other, physically and emotionally. Men can get a bit of bravado, a bit of ego, and that can be tricky to handle when you're dealing with your own insecurities.”
