Jaros’ character, a married Eastern European, has fled the old world with her husband and they pursue a new life in the rugged American West. She has to learn how to handle a carriage, how to ride for miles at a time, how to cross rivers. Often in tattered clothes, coated in muck and grime.All of which Jaros embraced after volunteering to do her own stunts.“I didn’t know what I was getting into,” she laughed.“On my hardest day, I had to do a lot of takes of an exhausting climb up a mile high hill.
Eventually my body just gave out. I had to tell production, ‘If we’re doing more takes of me running up that hill for a mile, I’m going to need a vehicle to transport me.’”She learned that another sacrifice was required.The show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, asked Jaros and a few other actors who play immigrants to not shave their arms or legs. For five months.“It’s because of close-ups,” she said.
“Sure, it became uncomfortable. It was fine for Alina — but I wanted to wear tank tops on my days off. “I was only self-conscious when I wasn’t in character.
Eventually, I just had to embrace it. The night I wrapped, the very first thing I did was hop in the shower and shave!”One aspect of Alina was familiar to Jaros: her heritage.The character has an accent the show’s creators call Balkan — a blend of Eastern European, Romanian and Slovakian.“Luckily I played a Czech immigrant in ‘My America,’ which is close. My dad’s sideof the family is Czech so I thought I could get it.“As I kid, I’d try and impersonate what I saw on TV,” she added.
