Robinson’s Character Virginia Doesn’t Fit Into The Palm Royale World
Screen Rant : This show is gorgeous , and you are absolutely phenomenal in it . Can you tell me a bit about Virginia and how she fits into this earth ?
Amber Chardae Robinson : Of course . I do n’t think Virginia fits into this world . I am a immobile worshipper that Virginia is a Pisces the Fishes out of water in this environment , and she ’s doing her best with stress to notice her place here and what that looks like . I palpate like she ’s establish a piece of home in her bookstall and in her sis set , but when she step outdoors of that bookstore , she ’s still dealing with the fact that there are n’t a mess of people that look like her , who accept her and see why she ’s there .
I enjoy the bookstore . What ab initio drew you to this function and how does it stand out from other roles that you ’ve played in the past ?
Amber Chardae Robinson : I think for me , what cast me to this role is the feminism vista of it , because I have yet to see what it looks like for an African American woman in the feminist front in a time like this . We struggle a lot and we still struggle today with where we suit in this movement , and I was really eager to explore what that looked like for someone who looked like me in a clip where there ’s so much oppression and so much that is stacked up against us . How do you fight that intersectionality ? How do you receive that for yourself ? I believe that was what draw me to the role the most .
Robinson Considers Working With Kristen Wiig A Masterclass
This is an awing mold just across the board , and you share some incredible scenes with Laura Dern and Kristen Wiig . Can you tell me about a second where one of your Colorado - mavin knocked it out of the parking lot as a vista cooperator and help elevate your own carrying out ?
Amber Chardae Robinson : I ’ll just talk about a second that was really funny . Working with Kristen Wiig has been a masterclass because she , to me , is a comedic brilliance . There was a moment we were pose in the sister roundabout on the carpet and they let her improv a pot , and there were moment where me and Laura would literally have to twist our heading away because she was about to make those pause . She ’s so unspoiled at it . She ’s just naturally amusing . The material you see her do , she ’s really comical . I ca n’t say that enough , and it ’s just one of my fond memories is just watching her work and look out how effortless it is for her .
There ’s a mess of out of sight astuteness to Virginia , especially for someone who ’s more plug into the realities of 1969 than a lot of the other characters . Can you spill about place that fundament for the deeper elements that hail through , especially with Virginia ’s relationship with Linda ?
Amber Chardae Robinson : I think it has to do with what my people were choke through at that fourth dimension . Palm Beach is a very specific place , and you put it in 1969 , the zip of Palm Beach is very mellow grade . It still is to this day . see someone who await like me at a metre like this where you are on the hound of Martin Luther King dying , the civil rights movement , and then you have this Black woman who is fight down for muliebrity , I feel like it ’s a stack to grip with as a Black woman in this time . It ’s a lot to Libra the Scales . It ’s a mint to withstand close to your breast .
Just being Black in this environment is a set . Just waken up every sidereal day and stepping outdoors of her house , I think was a journeying for her , and so I think that also play into her relationship with Linda , where she trusts Linda , but there ’s to a certain extent because at the end of the solar day , it ’s 1969 , I ’m Black , she ’s white , this is Palm Beach , and I have to protect myself , and at any here and now somebody can transfer on me , but I think she learns to infer Linda , empathize with her and take her for who she is . I think she ’s doing that with Maxime as well , which is a journey .
What did you learn from your experience on Palm Royale that you would like to take into succeeding projects ?
Amber Chardae Robinson : I think Virginia learn me how to hear more , how to be present more , how to empathise more and understand that everybody has a level and everybody has their own experience , and it ’s okay for those things to survive at the same time with what I may be dealing with in my own experience .
