Costars Margo Martindale, Uzo Aduba and Tracey Ullman will compete in the supporting actress category at the Emmys.
“Mrs. America” depicts the battle over the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s. We’re fact-checking its historical accuracy, episode by episode.I am standing in a garden in Sussex, I have been in lockdown in England with my grandson who has no regard for social distancing, being 18 months old. I have been very, very occupied. I am so, so lucky to have a Yorkshire terrier and an 18-month-old.I was at the vet’s with the dog when my son called me to say I had a nomination.
“It’s them being bold and pontificating and being strident.” [Returns to her regular voice.] You think, what were they like in real life? Those moments on a Tuesday morning having coffee with Ms. Magazine, not getting on with Gloria Steinem. It’s finding those quieter, vulnerable moments.I think Betty was vulnerable. She was from [Peoria, Ill.,] and became a big star. I loved all that stuff they had me do on “The Tonight Show.
[The nomination] was a nice spot of sunshine, a ray of light, in the five months of being locked in the house. This whole experience of “Mrs. America” has been unique. Our show had a very pandemic, lockdown everything. So this feels good because we never got together again after having made it. We’ve been on Zooms. That’s how we did all our press. We have a thread. But we haven’t really gotten to see each other again since wrap.
If we let history stand as it is in the books, Florence Nightingale, Amelia Earhart and Betsy Ross are the only women who did anything. It’s nice that a show like this came out and really gave the space for all of these voices.I was supposed to do “Americanah” from HBO Max when the pandemic hit. I love to work. I love to tell stories, I love to act, I love to do all of that. It feeds me, it thrills me. I am desperate to go to work, but I want to go work safely.
