Allison Janney has played many strong women on screen. From White House press secretary CJ on the West Wing to Bonnie on Mom, her range cannot be matched. And now with Palm Royale, Janney has done it again as beautiful, wealthy, socialite snob, Evelyn Rollins.
, Janney has done it again as beautiful, wealthy, socialite snob, Evelyn Rollins. She’s so good at being a terrible, rich person that you almost wish she would yell at you through the screen as she does to Kristen Wiig’s Maxine at least five times an episode. Leslie Bibb, her co-star on, lights up the screen as Dinah, another socialite, who’s following in the footsteps of Janney’s Evelyn, and matches her character’s biting sarcasm with a delightful dose of humor against Wiig.
The only way to describe this cast is royal. No, not like Prince Harry and Prince William royal, but a better kind of royal. It’s stacked with some of the most talented actors working today. Ricky Martin, Josh Lucas, Laura Dern, Julia Duffy, Mindy Cohn, Wiig, Burnett, and of course, Janney and Bibb, themselves.When asked what she’s learned from working with Wiig, Janney quickly answered, “I don’t know if I’m allowed to say where, but let’s just say she used her incredible skills of ad-libbing.
Bibb quickly agrees with Janney about Wiig’s well-known improv skills, but her favorite moment was a scene with Wiig where they are on a golf course. “We were driving this golf cart, we’re drinking and taking pills, as you did in the ‘60s, and Ricky was there on a Vespa, which has a bar cart attached to it, which Vespa really should trademark immediately.” Drinking on a golf cart with Kristen Wiig and Ricky Martin on a Vespa.
