Katie Lowes talks character’s secrets and fan response to hit series “The Hunting Wives”
Actor Katie Lowes, who plays Jill on the Netflix series “The Hunting Wives,” said the hit show that merges complex relationships and Southern culture has garnered a huge fan following.
“I am getting texts, emails, DM’s from everybody I know and don’t know – strangers and family alike who are obsessed with the show,” Lowes told “CBS Mornings Plus.”
The series debuted in Netflix’s global top 10 and stayed there for five weeks.
“It’s a summer, summer spicy show,” she said. “I think it’s getting a lot of attention because there is an amazing lesbian love story at the front of the show, and I’m thrilled that it’s getting the attention it deserves.”
“The Hunting Wives” tells the story of Sophie, played by Brittany Snow, who moves from Boston to east Texas for her husband’s job. She strikes up a friendship with the charismatic Margo, played by Malin Akerman, and her clique of friends, including Jill. Sophie discovers she doesn’t fit it and things take a turn when a teenage girl is murdered.
In the series, each woman has her own secrets. Lowes said Jill, who is the preacher’s wife and a pillar of the community, “hides her secrets in her hair.”
“Her marriage is horrible and she has a very interesting relationship with her son,” Lowes said about Jill. She enjoys playing “juicy, complicated” characters like Jill.
“I grew up in New York, and when something comes in where someone is going to say yes, like, do something that’s not like you, talk not like how you speak, have an accent, wear different clothing,” she said. “I mean … I’ve been an actress since I was a little kid playing pretend, and it’s the goal. It’s awesome.”
Lowes said she feels lucky, previously starring in shows like “Scandal” and “Inventing Anna.” While many know her as Quinn on “Scandal,” she said that’s changing.
“I have to say I was at the U.S. Open with the ‘Scandal’ family this weekend with Shonda Rhimes there and I was getting a lot of ‘Hunting Wives’ mentions.”
Jennifer Aniston, famously known for her role of Rachel Green in Friends, has opened up taking out time for herself.
Speaking with People Magazine, Aniston shared that she’s learning to balance her work schedule with personal time.
Aniston told the outlet, “This is another thing that I’ve gotten really good at in the last couple of years, is carving out time.”
“Just saying to the team, ‘The month of blanky blank is off.’ We’re not going to do anything for whatever happens to be the month that would work that year,” The Morning Show star added.
She went on to reveal that she tells her team, “‘I’m going to take off. I’m going to have a vacation. There’s going to be no work.’ And you just kind of have to put it on your calendar.”
Aniston added, “I think it’s so important because, if we’re running on fumes because we are working too hard and not giving ourselves the opportunity to refuel our bodies mentally and physically, we’re useless.”
“We’re cranky, we’re fatigued, we’re under-slept. I think that the importance of that [rest] and recharge is imperative,” she noted.
Jennifer Aniston broke on screen as Rachel Green on Friends more than 30 years ago, and ever since the actress’ career has soared.
Nick Jonas is shedding light on the darker side of fame.
In a new episode of Esquire’s What I’ve Learned video series, the Jonas Brothers sat down with editor-in-chief Michael Sebastian for an unfiltered chat about fame, family, and lessons learned along the way.
When asked if things ever felt “weird” during their rise, Nick admitted it was difficult to deal with the public scrutiny over their personal lives as teenagers.
“We were so young,” he began.
“And some of the things people were talking about,” the father of one continued stating, “I’m thankful to say we’ve come such a long way in 15 to 16 years where it would be completely inappropriate to speak about a 13 or 14-year-old’s dating life or s** life.”
Reflecting further, Nick, who is now married to global star Priyanka Chopra, explained that fame came with a kind of emotional price tag.
“It was something that was really synonymous with our name and our image for a while, whether we wanted it or not,” he said.
“When you’re part of public life, it’s part of what I like to call the ‘tax’ you have to pay,” he addressed.
Before conclusion, Nick expressed, “I’m grateful that, for the most part, we’re pretty well-adjusted. We all are—considering some of the things we had to navigate.”
