Previously, James spoke about the “huge responsibility” it was to tackle the role of Anderson.
“It’s always such a huge responsibility to play someone, a real person, particularly with Pam, she’s such an icon, I really love her, and I wanted to try and do her justice and try and capture her spirit and really explore what happened at that time and how she was treated and how things have changed, or not changed,” she toldEntertainment Tonightearlier this month.
“We just worked so hard ‘cause I was like, you can’t play Pamela and not like, you know, and I obviously do not look like Pamela. So, it took a lot of work, but it meant that I was able to believe myself in the role,” she continued. “When I looked at Sebastian, and I know when he looked at me, it was just so exciting, because we felt so in character and we really forgot ourselves.”
The 2022 Oscars airs Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
