We dive into PerryMason season 2, episode 3 with Juliet Rylance and JenTullock, who discuss the blossoming romance between Della Street & Anita St. Pierre on the HBO series, as well as developments in the Gallardo case:
As the Gallardo case heats up in Perry Mason season 2, a new woman has come into the life of Della Street . Anita St. Pierre is an Angeleno working in the film industry and, as she has begun to cross paths with Della, the two have noticed an indelible spark between them.
Juliet Rylance & Jen Tullock on Perry Mason Season 2 Screen Rant: Jen, what has it been like to step into the world of Perry Mason? Queer stories, especially during this time period, are rarely positive. But this feels a bit like a beacon of light in an otherwise dark show. Anita and Della's relationship feels integral to this modern take on Perry Mason. Jen, how do you prepare for this role given the time period, the context surrounding Della and Anita's relationship, and how they have to move through the world?
How did you both find this bond and this safe space with each other to where it felt comfortable to perform in this way?Juliet Rylance: It happened really quickly. But it was also fascinating because Jen had this wonderful book which... I've forgotten the title of the book now. [It's] about gay women in that period and about the sort of secret places that they would meet and all these avenues of how to find each other and connect to each other.
Jen Tullock: For me, it was because I think, to your point earlier, I think so many lesbian love stories... SNL did that great sketch about it called "Lesbian Period Piece," where it's just them washing carrots and casting furtive glances at one another for two and a half hours. When you see what you were talking about, movies where you see two lesbians, having this wonderful time, and you think, well, is this the male perspective of what that looks like, is that male gaze of that, or is that real? Is that something that's genuinely coming from this moment between these two people? And I think that was the most exciting thing for me, discovering with Jen what that connection felt like for us, just as us as people and Anita and Della as characters.
