net-a-porterFrom Veronica Mars to Gossip Girl, House of Lies to The Good Place,
36-year-old actress and singer Kristen Bell has done it all and has something very interesting to say about it...
What Was Your Favorite Tv Show As A Child?
America’s Funniest Home Videos; I was ahead of the curve on reality television. And Alf – I have a fond sense of watching it with my mom.
What Do You Watch Now?
Will Forte’s Last Man on Earth.
He’s doing things that no comedian has done; it’s exciting to watch.
Which Show Has Changed The Game For Actresses?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It proved there was a younger generation that was ready to have a female protagonist be an a**-kicker.
Which Role Was The Most Pivotal For Your Career?
Veronica Mars was where I learned how to do any version of what I do now. I didn’t realize that I could seem strong and vulnerable at the same time. I didn’t realize I could play snarky in a way in which people would want to watch.
Why Has Tv Overtaken Film As The Most Exciting Entertainment Medium?
In a time where we’re more disconnected, we’re craving intimacy and there’s intimacy in Tv. Previously, you wanted to worship the idol; you wanted to go to the movie theater and see the fantasy. But I think a lot of that
has worn off and what’s interesting now is seeing people take risks.
How Would You Review The Good Place?
A girl wakes up in the afterlife and realizes she’s been sent to heaven by a clerical error. She has to learn ethical behavior so she’s not sent to ‘The Bad Place’. It’s about how we relate to others and how you can change, even after it’s ‘over’.
What Would The Tv Show Of Your Life And Its Tagline Be?
Martha Stewart’s Fever Dream– “Doing it all can’t be done.”
Watch Season 2 of The Good Place on Nbc in January
