Robert Weide: What’s interesting about Gillian is that she did not embody what I originally had in mind for the role. When her name came up, I knew she’d be great, but it forced me to rethink the role. I’m glad I did, because she’s sensational.
What didn’t match your original vision?
RW: Mainly physicality. I had pictured the character older… maybe in her mid/late 50’s. My concern about someone as young and sexy as Gillian was that audiences might view her as a possible romantic interest for Simon,which would have been a distracting red herring. —- Gillian and I talked about countering that by just making Eleanor an ice queen and burying her sexiness under layers of self-absorption and obsession with power. Gillian and I actually wrote several e-mails to each other discussing whether the Eleanor character was frigid or screamed like a banshee during sex.
What did you finally decide?
RW: Let’s classify that as a trade secret and move on.
