 The film’s realistic portrayal of nursing homes and issues of mortality particularly resonated with Linney. “My grandmother lived her last year and half in a very nice nursing home actually outside of Washington DC and my grandfather was in the same home before that,” she said. “So I certainly know what it is, certainly remember what it is, to put someone in that room for the first time and then walk away and leave them there for the first night. That is brutal. It is brutal for everybody. And it’s sort of an area that everybody looks at with great dread because it’s sort of compartmentalized and put to the side, but if you are fortunate enough to really have the privilege to help someone through their last years there’s a lot that you can do to make it as easy as possible. Not that it will ever be easy, but certainly if you try to take out the areas of stress way before hand you can help yourself a lot.” While Linney realized making The Savages was a special experience, the audiences’ reaction to it has still managed to surprise her. “When you’re working on a film like this you’re not thinking about the overall context,” she said. “You’re thinking about your character and what’s happening, so I wasn’t even really aware of how this would connect with people in the way that it has been since we’ve been screening it.” She adds, “This is deeply personal stuff that people don’t talk about but it’s the stuff that connects everybody to everybody else. It’s these experiences that connect human beings to each other.” Linney is sure to keep connecting to audiences through her performances. Next up is the HBO miniseries John Adams, which airs in March and co-stars Paul Giamatti. Then she’s back on stage in the spring for a play at the Roundabout Theater. Must be those theater genes! |
