Emmy award winner Judith Light discussed playing Cookie in the new drama The Young Wife from Republic Pictures.
Directed and written by Tayarisha Poe, it stars Kiersey Clemons, Leon Bridges, Kelly Marie Tran, and Michaela Watkins, with Sheryl Lee Ralph.
What really blew me away about The Young Wife was just the sense of style that Tayarisha has as a director. What was most unique about the production? Because there’s not a normal shot in this. She’s always going for something, and it’s such a visual delight. You have so many great scenes in this with Kiersey, and she also had a role in Transparent. What really stood out about her as a scene partner because you both go back and forth so well?
I mean this in the greatest sense of the word, of what we have come to almost hold pejoratively, which is the crone, the wise woman … You are this giver and transporter of guidance and wisdom and passing on the torch and leaving a legacy to this. Giving the wisdom that has been garnered and gained through experience. And it was just a very, very powerful archetypal character to me, as well as a very emotional character.
