Catherine Curtin Orange Is The New Black

Wanda Bell in season 1–5 of the American comedy-drama web television series Orange Is the New Black. Episodes often feature flashbacks of significant events from various inmates’ and prison guards’ pasts. The inmate death had followed a peaceful protest and subsequent instigation of an inmate fight by another guard.

During the riot, some inmates attempt to negotiate better living conditions and seek justice for the death of the inmate, while others pursue their own interests and entertainment, and a few seek no involvement.

At the emergence of the riot, the guard who incited the fight in the prior season is critically wounded by an inmate who took the gun the guard illegally brought into the prison. At the end of the season, SWAT raids the prison to end the riot and remove all inmates from the facility.

In max, new inmates are introduced, alliances are made, and a gang-like war emerges between two prison blocks, spearheaded by a longstanding feud between two sisters and a grudge harbored by them toward a former maximum-security inmate who returned. Inmates who arrived from the minimum security prison are either caught up or willingly participate in the war between prison blocks.

Catherine Curtin Interview

Fighting The Good Fight With Catherine Curtin Of STRANGER THINGS & GOLD STAR

Source: filminquiry.com

Sophia Cowley for Film Inquiry: Interesting is one word for it.

Catherine Curtin: (Laughs) Interesting is one word, yeah. I just feel like art right now is so vitally important for people to be able to express and release and feel, and think, and breathe, and exhale. I think people have to stay not numb. I feel glad to be helping bring art to people, whether it’s laughing or crying or thinking or being angry or feeling, whatever it’s stimulating, it’s so important. But anyway, I’m just rambling on.

No, no, it’s all important. I mean, you have been working with debut directors, and you have been helping out to make art more accessible. I’m curious what it is like for you to work with first-time filmmakers like Jessica M. Thompson (The Light Of The Moon) and Victoria Negri (Gold Star) versus working on a larger scale production like Stranger Things.

Catherine Curtin: Yeah, that’s a really good question. I love working with first-time filmmakers; for me it’s a very joyous occasion because it’s so much about just, the beauty of the writing, you know, the beauty of going for it, the beauty of saying, “this is my passion and let’s follow it.” Independent film, I feel like it tells smaller stories, and where many, many moments are explored, rather than TV, where you go from event to event to event.

I firmly believe that one event in a person’s life can completely change their life forever. And I think that’s a lot of what indie filmmakers are doing; they’re exploring that essential thing that happened, that Passover question, that one moment.

I think I’ve been really lucky in the TV shows that I’ve been on because all of the TV shows I’ve been on have political, philosophical things happening with them. [With Orange Is The New Black,] I think people understand that our prison system needs a lot of reform, and it’s not really working, and we imprison more people than any first-world nation; we imprison more women than any first-world nation. It’s just crazy, and the job of Orange is to make people sympathetic and empathetic to the lives of others who are going through a life sentence.

And then, with Insecure, I think Issa Rae is a genius, what she’s doing subtly, politically and philosophically, and how she, in her own way, is making all of us so much closer by saying that we’re all so much more alike than not alike. She raises issues that are very problematic, and she does it and makes people laugh.

And on Stranger Things, for me, it’s like, the best creative presence I could ever get, really, because it’s such a creative set to work on, and there’s such an enormous amount of kindness on the set and generosity and imagination…I feel so lucky to be a part of that amazing journey into the underworld.

I firmly believe that one event in a person’s life can completely change their life forever.

You bring a lot of heart to Gold Star. Can you talk a bit about your experience behind the scenes? What enabled you to embody the complex role of caretaker and head of household with such authenticity?

Catherine Curtin: My dad died when I was 17; I was a caregiver in high school to my dad. I think Victoria’s story really hit me, and I understood it. I think one of the most difficult things in life is to be graceful under pressure, and I don’t think [her mother] really is graceful under pressure as a character. I think she’s trying to hold it together and she’s doing okay and not okay and okay and not okay. And she’s angry, and she’s sloppy with her emotions, and I think most people are that way.

I don’t think there’s this pretty picture of good behavior when your soul mate is dying. When I see that in big-budget Hollywood films, I’m like, “Okay, well, that’s a beautiful reaction!” I’d be throwing things; I’d be like crazy. I think you have to have empathy for people handling things in ways that are not great. Because that’s true, that’s the way we are. When you’re losing someone it’s like, marching through quicksand.

I’m sure you get asked this a lot, but what was it like working alongside Robert Vaughn?

Catherine Curtin: Oh, he was beautiful. He was such a gentleman. There were no dressing rooms, there were no trailers, there was nobody making money, and it was fine for him. And then he would tell stories about old Hollywood, or when he would go in to audition for Man From U.N.C.L.E. and he had gone out the night before, and he looked at material that morning but didn’t really know it, but he just thought, “I’m gonna go in and have a good time,” and he did and he booked this huge job! He was never judgmental…he just came to it like, “Everything is great, everybody is great, and this is fantastic.”
