Here's who Jennifer Aniston researched for her latest role.
is returning to television in a role she based on another leading lady of the small screen: Diane Sawyer. In, an upcoming series from Apple, Aniston plays the co-host of, well, a morning show, and recently revealed tothat Sawyer was a major inspiration for the character, saying, "I’ve known Diane for years, and I had the joy of getting to pick her brain when I was doing research for the show. Diane’s always been so elegant and classy.
Speaking of patriarchy, double standards and sexism, the actress also noted that "you look great for your age" is perhaps not the kind compliment it's intended to be. Having just crossed the threshold into the 50 and over category, Aniston says, "I don’t feel any different. Things aren’t shutting down in any way. I feel physically incredible. So it’s weird that it’s all of a sudden getting telegraphed in a way that’s like, ‘You look amazing for your age.
Maybe that dialogue can happen on the show. Aniston says the series will “[look] at the ways in which we’ve all normalized [sexist] behavior and how we’re all by-products of our environment, having grown up with sexism encoded in our messaging, however extreme or subtle.” Sounds like Sawyer will be proud.
