Evan talks about her nude scene in "Mildred Pierce"

In an interview Evan did with Fancast recently, she talked about the nerves of doing her first full frontal nudity in the upcoming HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce". Read the interview below:

To prepare for the part of Mildred Pierce’s daughter, Veda, in HBO’s depression-era miniseries “Mildred Pierce,” Evan Rachel Wood worked for months with piano and dialect coaches. But there was one aspect of the role that no amount of studying could ready her for – full-frontal nudity.

“I was a lot more nervous than I thought I was going to be,” Wood said of the shocking scene she has at the end of the series’ fifth and final installment opposite Kate Winslet, who stars as Mildred Pierce.

“I hadn’t made my mind up if I was going to go full until we were rehearsing, and I was talking to Todd [Haynes, the series' writer and director] – like ‘What do you think?’ – and he was like, ‘I think we’re going to be chickening out if we don’t just go for it.’”

At a New York press event for the miniseries, a retelling of the classic James M. Cain novel, Wood told us she credits Winslet, who famously bared all in “The Reader,” for giving her the courage to strip. “I looked at Kate and she was like, ‘You’ve got to do it. Trust me, it’s so brave. Put a merkin on and you’ll be fine.’” A merkin? “Let’s just say, I had to wear a wig because it was in the 30s, and everything had to look like it was in the 30s,” explained Wood with a laugh.

“Kate helped me,” she continued. “She gave me strength. She kind of dared me. I also felt I had to prove it to myself. I had to do it at least once — get it all on film now so when I’m 80 I can look back at it and say, ‘Yeah! I did that!’”

What about “True Blood,” a show that seems to have nudity written into ever actor’s contract? Wood, who stars as vampire queen Sophie-Anne, said she’s still waiting to be asked to disrobe. But even then, she nervously confessed, “I don’t know. It depends. I can’t say I had a lot of fun.”

Sounds like she's entering a whole new level of her acting career -- I think she deserves an award for what she did in this series, which I believe will be great! "Mildred Pierce" will premiere on HBO at March 27, starring Kate Winslet, Guy Pierce, and Melissa Leo. A bunch of reviews have hit online though, and I'll make a recap and post it to this blog later!

An interesting article for "Mildred Pierce"

I came across the internet and found this quite nice to read article from The Hartford Informer, which mentions a bit about Evan's upcoming HBO series "Mildred Pierce". Read the excerpt below:

Beginning March 27 Oscar and Golden Globe Winner Kate Winslet is premiering in a five part miniseries called “Mildred Peirce” alongside actor Guy Peirce and actress Evan Rachel Wood. The series surrounds a middle class mother living in Los Angeles who struggles to win the heart of her daughter during the Great Depression. After her unemployed husband leaves, she struggles to provide for her children and earn the respect of her daughter. Originally Mildred Peirce was a novel and then it was turned into an Oscar winning film in 1945 and now the miniseries on HBO looks just as good.

Well I haven't watched the movie version of "Mildred Pierce", but knowing that Kate Winslet, Guy Pierce, and Evan are playing the roles then I just believe that it will be GOOD!
