🎧 Listen: Rose Byrne talks about becoming Gloria Steinem for MrsAmerica
,” Dahvi Waller’s FX on Hulu series about the fight to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and 1980s. “I was like, ‘I cannot screw this up,’” Byrne said. “I just worked as hard as I could, and I don’t know what I did, or how it looked, but I just tried to capture her essence as hard as I could.”I think for something that’s historical, it couldn’t be more relevant. It’s kind of extraordinary. And we thought that whilst we were filming it, too.
We all know who Gloria Steinem is. Everyone has, at least, a basic knowledge of Gloria. How much did you know? I knew the broad strokes. I didn’t know the intricacies or the details of her life, her childhood and so on. I just threw myself in. I called Dahvi once I was on board, and I was like, “I’m intimidated already and now I really don’t know where to begin because there’s so much stuff.” Dahvi sent me a kind of startup package, and that was really where I began research. You’re spoiled really when you play somebody as famous and iconic because there is so much stuff.
Tell me about the first time you’re in Gloria Steinem makeup and wardrobe. The aviators, the wig. What did you think when you first saw yourself in full Gloria Steinem? Man, she has great style. Let’s just give it up for her aesthetic. She’s one of those silhouettes that you immediately identify and that’s savvy. There’s a savviness to that. She also has an innate sensuality about her. She’s innate in the way she communicates and her power is subtle, and quiet, and driven, but very in control. There’s an unflappability about her.
