Yellowjackets star Courtney Eaton defends Lottie on a new episode of ColliderLadiesNight! 'Lottie does everything from the best place. She's trying to give her heart to everyone.'
From powering through a post-apocalyptic wasteland in Mad Max: Fury Road to trying to survive the wilderness with a group of teenagers who turn to violence and cannibalism in Yellowjackets, Courtney Eaton is loading up her filmography with ambitious projects, and excelling in them.
Not only did working on 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road confirm Eaton’s passion for acting, but it’s also the project that proved to her that she was able to go the distance and tap into the deepest layers of her characters. Here's what she said when asked for the moment when acting became a creative itch she knew she needed to keep scratching:
“Showtime was really gracious. They offered me a series regular in Season 1, but because it was my first time doing TV, and because I'd come from film, it's daunting to sign onto something for five, six years — at least for me at the time. So they were really gracious and let me come on later as a series regular.”
“It's weirdly the pilot. Lottie’s not in the pilot that much, but there's a scene where she's just sitting in her empty house and her maid comes and gives her her medication. Beside the medication, that isn't what draws me back to her, but that emptiness and sadness, but also comfort she has in herself, weirdly. That's always the root of Lottie, I feel like. If I think about her, I just kind of see us sitting at that table.
Yes, a lot is in play for Lottie at all times, but one particular element of her experience that dictates some significant choices she makes in Season 2 is the group nudging her into a leadership role. Eaton emphasized the point while discussing one of Lottie’s few private moments in Season 2, Episode 4 during the hunting competition with Natalie when Lottie finds a symbol on a tree, touches it, and says to herself, “Fuck me.
“This is while I’ll fight to the end of day when everyone was like, ‘She's evil. She's got bad intentions.’ I'm like, Lottie does everything from the best place. She's trying to give her heart to everyone. It might not come across in the right way sometimes, but she's always well intentioned, I think.”
