Jennifer Ehle on the Importance of Intimacy Coordinators on Set
64Jennifer Ehle is front and center in one of the very best scenes of 2022. Ehle plays Laura Madden in Maria Schrader’s movie She Said, which revisits Megan Twohey (Carey Mulligan) and Jodi Kantor’s (Zoe Kazan) tireless work for the New York Times while investigating acts of sexual abuse committed by former film producer Harvey Weinstein. The film puts a heavy emphasis on spotlighting the women who bravely came forward with testimonies that ultimately put Weinstein behind bars, and one of those women is Laura Madden.
Madden is featured throughout the film, but there’s one scene in particular where she meets with Kantor that’s absolutely brimming with raw emotion and also includes one of the most devastating lines of the film; “It was like he took my voice that day, just when I was about to start to find it.” Mulligan will likely be the She Said representative in the Best Supporting Actress category this year, and very much deserves that nod, but if I had any say in the nominations, Ehle would be in the mix right along with her.
With She Said now playing in theaters nationwide, I got the chance to catch up with Ehle to talk about her experience making the film and how she thinks the film industry has changed for the better.
