Based on the novel of the same name, the series “Part of Her” (originally: “Pieces of Her”) is currently conquering the Netflix charts. On the one hand, this is certainly due to the top-notch cast around Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote, but certainly also to the exciting plot: Andy (Heathcote) reveals secrets from his mother Laura (Collette)'s past to which she does not never would have thought. possible. The story begins with a horrific killing spree which Laura ends.
In an interview with "Popsugar", the actresses have now confided in the challenges of their respective roles. Toni Collette reveals that she had practically not prepared for the shooting. She only practiced one thing beforehand – and yet the crucial scene was difficult.
Netflix star barely prepped for Part of Her
In a conversation, Bella Heathcote first reports that the filming of “Part of Her” was stalled for an entire year due to the corona pandemic. “I feel like I tried not to prepare too much. I took drawing lessons for about six months”, the star remembers this phase. "If I keep reading these scripts, I'm going to go crazy and lose all spontaneity," Heathcote feared at the time.
His colleague then confirms to him that it is entirely possible to "prepare too much" for a role in a film or a series. “When I work on things that I know are going to be intense, I just pretend it's not happening and let the moments come to me. », this is how Toni Collette describes her approach as an actress.

Finally, she must admit that she even underestimated the whole thing a little. “It was paralyzing. I thought it was going well, but every scene was bigger and more intense than I thought”, she admits. The result obviously convinces Netflix subscribers, because this week's "Part of Her" even knocked "Vikings: Valhalla" from the throne of the top ten.
Incidentally, Bella Heathcote also evokes a scene from the interview which was particularly difficult for her – and the reason is even directly linked to her co-star: “The first scene I shot with Toni was the one in which our characters returned are united [in der ersten Folge] – the second dinner scene, if you will. It was a lot for me because I was so nervous about working with Toni for the first time.«
