Actress and writer Natasha Rothwell's new Hulu series, 'How to Die Alone,' delves into the complexities of loneliness and finding fulfillment in life. Inspired by a personal experience with isolation, Rothwell crafts a story about a single woman who learns to embrace life after a near-death encounter.
'Follow the fear' is a phrase that Natasha Rothwell says has been imprinted on her brain since her days in improv. So when a TV executive asked, 'If you had a TV show, what would you want it to be?' she thought about the thing that scared her the most at the time: dying alone. That was roughly around the time her star was rising with 'Insecure,' where she pulled double duty, writing and playing the show's GIF-able BFF Kelli.
I just had a welt on my head that looked like I saluted too hard. In the instructions, they said, 'You need someone .' I was like, 'No, you don't.' I got it up and I used it, and I took such pride every time I saw it. We're in a period of serious belt tightening in the industry. Are you surprised your show made it to screen? What is it like pitching a show not based on a preexisting IP? It took me seven years to make this show because it was original IP.
