Carey Mulligan joins the show to talk about her role in Maestro, Bradley Cooper’s chronicling of the lifelong relationship between composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein (Cooper) and his wife Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein (Mulligan).
Mulligan takes us back six years to when Cooper first approached her to play Felicia, describes how she pushed through her fear of failure and fully immersed herself in the role, and breaks down what it was like to shoot the Thanksgiving Day "argument" scene.
She also details the experience of watching Cooper fully transform into Leonard for the duration of filming, describes the challenge of embodying Felicia through four decades of her life, and shares the line from Maestro which has become her new mantra.
