Who wouldve thoughtGLOWwas hiding Liza Minnelli in wolfs clothing all along?
And that true self?
Unsurprisingly, embodying the legendary Minnelli was a real hoot.
I need to start by asking all about your incredible Liza moment in the ring.
What did your Liza boot-camp training entail?Oh man, it was just incredible.
It really was my favorite moment of the season.
It was very intimidating I mean, it was a wrestling impersonation persona of Liza Minnelli.
I watched a lot of YouTube to prepare.
I didnt want to make it aperfectimpersonation, but it wasnt going to be a bad, fall-on-your-face impression.
I trained in musical theater growing up, actually.
I went to a musical-theater high school in Scotland.
I have it in me, I have her in me.
I think Sheila does, too.
WasLiza With a ZLiza always going to be your Liza?
We hadan incredible costume designerwho worked with an equally incredible team.
They had an inspired idea to use that saucy red ensemble.
We had never seen Sheilas body before, or had seen her look like a woman.
She was in her prime, looking sexy and happy.
Thats what we wanted to channel with Sheila.
Its remarkable that the dress held its shape while you were wrestling.
Paired with the Spanx underwear, which was very necessary.
What was it like filming that scene in the ring?
Were you able to play around and improvise?It was the best day ever.
Remember when Liza makes her big debut and everyone else is offstage watching?
Everyone got to see these new characters unfold in real time.
Lizas both a persona and very much a person.
Shes almosttoomuch of a person, shes too wrought for this world.
It says something about what Sheila likes, too.
Similarly, what is it about meeting Bobby that begins Sheilas transformation?
Theres a boldness to the way Bobby approaches her.
In a deeper way, shes ready for this.
Maybe its Vegas, maybe its her GLOWgirls.
She appreciates it and she wants it.
She wants someone to care.
She wants someone to fuel the fire in her.
He did that very quickly.
Bobby also struggles with his own persona this season, and she, in turn, sees that.
She couldve turned to that wolf life for any reason.
People can both understand and not understand at the same time.
I really want to see where she came from.
Id love to know how you interpret Sheilas encounter with the wolf during her hike.
Was it a dehydrated hallucination or a real experience?I go back and forth every day.
It definitely happened; it definitely didnt.
Right now, I believe it did happen.
It was one of those moments in life that you might never prepare for.
Its so surreal and dreamlike.
Even though the wolf turns away from her with its back, I think the wolf is releasing her.
Its giving her permission to move forward.
She wants to become a serious actor, but she also wants to understand herself better.
But she means it quite literally.
Does she want a husband?
Shes on a mission to discover that.
It was so hard.
