Seeing Bruna support Harriet in the way that she did, and create space for her, is something that I want to be part of.” Harriet is a newer voice in American television but has a ton of experience in the UK. “If you have a collaborator who is going to support you, but also support the work so beautifully. As an actor, that’s something I always want to run towards,” Rabe enthused. “She’s interested in great storytelling, great stories with women at the center and women who are truthful and not shying away from anything.
She also produced the HBO phenomenon, Big Little Lies. The Undoing and Tell Me Your Secrets were both produced by Papandrea and her production company, Made Up Stories. It has been wonderful in many ways, including many that I could never have expected.” It turned out that it was something that did hit in a way that I could never have predicted. I wanted to be in New York in the spring, I wanted to work with Nicole and Hugh, and I had worked with the show’s executive producer, Bruna Papandrea, earlier in my career, and we worked together again on this. “I wanted to work with the director, Susanne Bier, because I think she’s brilliant. I’m not particularly great at thinking, ‘Oh, this is going to be huge, so I should do it.’ The Undoing was something that I loved.” “When I’m thinking about doing a job, I am short-sighted, and I just think about whether I want to do a role and work with the other people. I’m never good at predicting whether something is going to hit or how something is going to be perceived,” the actor exclaimed. It was a hit for HBO, increasing its audience every week over its six-episode run. Fall 2020 saw her star alongside Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant in the aforementioned acclaimed drama The Undoing.
Tell Me Your Secrets is the second serial in six months to showcase Rabe. Lily Rabe at FX's 'American Horror Story' 100th Episode Celebration at Hollywood Forever in.
