.AlisonBrie loved getting body slammed by Betty Gilpin in Glow:
The show is brilliant. I do feel like in lesser hands a show about female pro-wrestling could go very wrong. For each of you when you got the pitches, did you know right away it would be great or did you need some coaxing to get there?
Betty Gilpin: And I knew Liz and Carly first as playwrights, so I knew their top priority is to write an authentic story about a person really experiencing something that’s affecting them in a real way. I think in the wrong hands this could be a story about a bunch of quirky characters going through something crazy.BG: But with Liz and Carly at the helm I knew that it would be a true, authentic story first, no matter how much glitter was involved.
Alison, you've spoken about how you really had to fight for this role because people perceived you more like the “good-girl” roles you’ve played. And Betty, you wrote an essay about how your body image has affected your confidence. How much of going after these roles was finding the confidence to do it, and how much of it was convincing other people that you could do it?
BG: The fact that our bodies, each one of our bodies was needed as an additional, powerful force for a scene… On previous jobs, I had always dreaded the wide shots because for me a character is so about what’s going on in my brain and what I’m emoting—and to me that’s all up here, from the chin up.
