It’s a little bit of blindness and extra sight.įilming is underway on HBO series in New York and Rhode Island.Ĭhristine previously told us she thinks Agnes admires Peggy almost more than she admires and respects Marian, her niece. It’s this interesting balance of mutual respect that surprises the both of them and also this way in which Peggy isn’t supposed to aspire to the same level of society that Gladys and Marian are supposed to. Peggy’s blackness makes it so Agnes is able to feel less attacked by the way Peggy presents to the world, as long as it doesn’t come back on her. She doesn’t expect the same things of Peggy that she expects of Marian. I think Agnes has respect for people who deal wisely with the cards they’ve been dealt, and I don’t think we can forget the racial dynamic between them.

What’s the most interesting aspect of bringing that dynamic to the screen with Christine Baranski? Yeah, like, “Ah, yes! Someone I recognize.” Īgnes van Rhijn being so stubborn and set in her ways makes it almost surprising that she’d be supportive of Peggy’s career.

I feel like sometimes Peggy’s little looks to the side moments, it’s almost like, “Are you guys watching this too? ‘Cause this is crazy.” Does it ever feel challenging to make that seem natural?ĭenée Benton: Peggy gets this really cool opportunity to be the grounded energy of the show and to be going through really specifically human things that many of us can still relate to today. For TV Insider, Benton breaks down the importance of Peggy’s presence in the HBO period drama and the part she played in bringing Black women onto the creative team to tell these stories.
