The 'Flight Attendant' star has found success as an actor and passion as a writer, but the role she was born to play may just be the one of best friend.
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Zosia Mamet’s tattoo collection is an extensive and intimately illustrated diary of her 34 years. “I call them my little charms,” she says, pulling up the sleeve of her navy sweater and taking inventory of the drawings on her arms, “and they're everywhere.”
Getting the Boop tattoo that day was Cuoco’s idea. She dragged Mamet to her cousin’s best friend’s parlor under the pretense of errands and dinner on their last night together in California before Mamet headed back to her home in Hudson Valley, New York, where she’s Zooming me from now. They’re always doing this—leaving little surprises for each other in their rooms and things like that—so Mamet went along with it.
Talking to Mamet and Cuoco, it’s clear their off-screen camaraderie is what makes them click on-screen. In fact, Annie’s arc this season—moving cross-country to live in Cassie’s house—mirrors Mamet and Cuoco’s lives over the past year. While filming season 2, Mamet, like her character, moved in with Cuoco when she needed someone to lean on.
Season 1 of the show, which aired in November 2020, was a critical and mass success—in March 2021 WarnerMedia reported the dark comedy was the most-watched series on the streamer. Audiences delighted in the show’s addictive pulp fiction-meets-Agatha-Christie tone, propelled forward by Cuoco’s and Mamet’s sharp performances. While the show was originally billed as a limited series HBO ordered a second season the day after the season 1 finale aired.
“I've never seen anyone soldier through the way that [Cuoco] does, but I think it's really important to also have people around you during those periods that see that and encourage you to fall apart a little, if that makes sense,” Mamet says. “There were mornings where she genuinely was like, ‘I can't do it.’ And I was like, ‘Not only can you do it, you're going to do it. You're going to ace it.
“It always felt like I was waiting for my life to start,” she says of being a kid. She searched for friends wherever she could, even chatting up her parents’ dinner party guests to feel a sense of connection. An Island in the Stream “I love to take care of people,” she says. “I love to love people. I love to make them laugh. I love to hug them when they're crying. I think because I had a lot of years of being alone and not being able to give that part of myself, once that opportunity presented itself, I opened up the floodgates and I was like, ‘Here you guys go.’”
