Alison Pill was Jeff Daniels' original costar in BLACKBIRD when that play premièred Off-Broadway in 2007, but Michelle Williams got the part 9 years later on Broadway.
Pill is 5 years younger than Williams and certainly doesn't look any older. At the time, I first assumed that Williams' higher profile explained her being cast (she was already a multiple Oscar nominee); I knew it wasn't likely to have had anything to do with her rapport with Jeff Daniels, since after BLACKBIRD they worked together for 3 seasons of HBO's THE NEWSROOM.
Then I encountered the interview linked below, in which Pill said the following about her working relationship with director Joe Mantello: "I didn’t have support from the director, and I was feeling very lost . . . The director was sort of forcing that idea on me. He was more bent on my destruction than I was! He was like, 'You have to be crazy!'"
I was therefore surprised to see her turn up in the cast of Mantello's (glorious) THREE TALL WOMEN revival. Anyone have any insight? |
