Star HaileeSteinfeld, Dickinson team talk blending history with modern tone, being one of AppleTV's first series
Apple gave the public an extended first look at one of its eagerly anticipated original series in New York on Saturday night., letting a nearly packed Manhattan movie-theater auditorium watch the first episode of Apple TV+'s half-hour comedy series about a young Emily Dickinson, played by Hailee Steinfeld.
Smith pointed out that Dickinson "was sitting at this tiny desk at her bedroom window but she had the whole universe in her brain," a juxtaposition that creates a central theme of the series, with Smith saying that she drew the world of Dickinson's poetry, as well as the poet's rather "boring" real life for story ideas.
Steinfeld said during the panel that she "definitely" saw parallels between Dickinson's life and those of young women, like her, today. "The pressure that Emily Dickinson is under to feel or act or do certain things, I think women still feel that way," she said. "We hope that people see this and feel seen and feel heard, because that’s exactly what Emily was searching for, to be understood.
Still, she did find that her research into the family supported both her character's comedy and the group's "quirky" nature. Speaking about the costumes during the panel, she added, "Apple's been very generous. They clearly put a lot of money and kindness into the look of the show, which I think pays off amazingly on screen.
