We spoke with GeorgeAndTammy star jes_chastain on the biggest challenges of playing Tammy Wynette, her desire to teach at Juilliard, and more!
As an entire piece, the six-part Showtime original limited series George & Tammy explores the triumphs, tragedies, and undeniable love of country music power couple Tammy Wynette and George Jones , with powerful and memorable performances from its two lead actors.
JESSICA CHASTAIN: Honestly, it means so much to me. Last year, at the SAG Awards, I got incredibly emotional. I came into this industry because I just love actors so much, and I love watching their work and I love collaborating with them. It’s some of my happiest times, separate from being with my family. And so, to be acknowledged by them, it means a lot because no one knows what it takes or what goes into a performance more than another actor.
You seem to really dedicate all of yourself to the roles that you play. Over the years, we’ve heard various actors talk about losing themselves in characters. Most recently, Austin Butler has talked about that with Elvis.
CHASTAIN: The singing stuff. He was everything to me when it came to that. I’d never really harmonized with anyone before.
It’s so interesting to see the projects that you’re choosing. Even with George & Tammy, I feel like I don’t know if the series would have had the perspective it did, if you had you not been involved with it.
