has been one of the most sought-after and versatile television and film actors for years, from a scene-stealing supporting role on sitcom “Two and a Half Men” to a leading lady on “Togetherness.” She’s also been part of ensembles such as “Castle Rock,” “Mrs. America” and, most recently, Showtime’s “Yellowjackets.” Lynskey recently picked up a drama actress Critics Choice Awards nom for the latter, in which she portrays the adult version of Shauna, a former teen athlete and plane crash survivor.
“Because it was Ariel directing, we were able to play around and do so much. The story that I tell [Taissa] about, ‘I was going to go to college and meet this poet who would run a literary magazine,’ that is something that I improvised from an actual love affair that I had in university,” she reveals. “It was fun to get to improvise that much. We didn’t most of the time on the show.
I’m glad to hear you say that because as I’ve watched this season, some of my big questions have been, “What did she see in Jeff?” and “What does she still see in Jeff?”] Honestly, the deeper answer to that is I think initially she was attracted to the danger of it and the, “Fuck you, Jackie” aspect of it, which is something she would be ashamed to admit, but it’s a choice that she made, and I think she liked sneaking around.
She gets into a relationship with Adam without really Googling him, and admittedly she couldn’t have Googled her boyfriends the last time she was dating, in the ’90s. Do you think that’s a sense of arrested development versus trust? In a way, it is just everything was culminating, but also, as a woman in her mid-40s, who’s not super thin and hasn’t done a lot of stuff to maintain her face — I think she’s a regular-looking woman, like me, because it’s me playing first person, obviously — I think that there’s an element of, she doesn’t really believe that this young, hot person could really be into her.
When we first met Shauna in the premiere episode, she seemed subdued compared to where her arc over the course of the first season takes her. Were the moments where she let loose with Adam or chased a blackmailer opportunities for her to reveal her true nature or play a character, so to speak, as she still figured out who she was?
