That was probably the biggest challenge because Bobby’s performance was so beautiful to watch. You can’t have her breaking down and crying all over her prosthetics. I really wanted Belle to be, in essence, the strong one of accepting her moving on to whatever she believes is the next chapter after mortal existence, and being the strong one for him as well as for herself, and not breaking down. It was hard for me as I was trying to, as Emilie, not cry watching Bobby - not as the characters. It was very hard to stop crying between takes.
I felt very safe and respected that whole day. It’s such a safe - safe is probably the best word. I suppose it was really just me and Bobby and the crew that day, but we were so lucky to have Mick Garris as our director, who is a lovely guy and such a sensitive man. It brought out a lot of feelings for a lot of the crew and cast. The feeling and vibe on set was so special and so respectful and loving and warm. That was the hardest day of work, that scene. From now on, I will only be playing grandmas. Oh no, I just laid out in the sun for a few days. What was it like filming that final scene between them as Belle comes clean about purposefully misinterpreting the prophecy before dying? Especially with that makeup and prosthetics. I’m going on and on, but just because able to bring full-circle their story was a blessing and I was really happy when they said they were going to do this. That’s quite beautiful and was lovely to play. Her acceptance of mortality is shining a lot brighter than his acceptance or non-acceptance of immortality, which you’d expect to be the reverse in a way. They’ve been able to now show everyone maybe you can come to a point - whether it’s with someone else or with yourself, or with both - of just having that, having life be life, an acceptance of what it is, an acceptance of living, an acceptance of dying. They’ve had quite a tumultuous relationship, so for them to be able to get to a place of such acceptance with each other and themselves, and with life, and this inner peace that has washed over them. I was so excited to be able to bring their story to the fans and to bring their later years in love, and to be able to play that was really beautiful. With everything with this show, and for that matter with Lost, I never take anything as finality, because there’s always this revolving door of things. What was your first reaction when you learned Belle’s fate?
