On the shaming Anderson dealt with, and how that hasn't changed today: "It [the show] felt like a challenge. And kind of essential. The shaming was so extreme. Unfortunately, that's still the case, don't you think? Women are held to much higher standards and attacked in ways that feel so vicious. Pamela had such wit and grace in the way that she held herself. I admire that strength."
On what James hopes to achieve through her portrayal of Anderson: "I want to provoke a conversation, and I want to be part of these attempts at change. I realise a lot of it's incredibly sensitive and difficult. And so, as an actor, to a certain extent, what you do is make yourself very open to talk to all of that."
