“I remember when I auditioned for this part. I watched” the English patient “the day before, and Kristin Scott Thomas [who played Katharine Clifton in the Oscar-winning film] Had this very mature and very feminine sexuality, and what I always liked [‘ER’ and ‘The Pitt’ executive producer] John Wells is that he lets women be women. […] At that time, as young as I am in there, I was still a good seven or eight years more than everyone auditioning for this part. […] I was inspired by Kristin Scott Thomas to exploit this part of my sexuality required for this role, and I had it, and I remember thinking, like ‘yeah! The old girl had the room! ‘”
