After a seven-year run on The Good Wife, three-time Emmy winner Julianna Margulies is more selective than ever about where she lands. In joining The Morning Show as Laura Peterson, an anchor who, after being outed in the ’90s and losing her position at the titular show, re-emerges as one of the country’s top journalists, Margulies says the opportunity to portray an LGBTQ character at the top of her game was too good to pass up. Here, she discusses her chemistry with on-screen love interest Reese Witherspoon, a powerplay with Jennifer Aniston and the feeling of portraying extreme confidence.
DEADLINE: You can be really discerning in terms of work at this point in your career. What was it about The Morning Show that fulfilled your criteria?
JULIANNA MARGULIES: One, I was already a huge fan of the show. Two, I had never played a character like Laura Peterson. I thought that she was so smartly written, and it was such a privilege to play an LGBTQ character that was so accomplished and confident and had this incredible track history of success, but also had gone through the wringer herself so that she could get to the place where she wanted to be. She’s really fun to play. Also, working with everybody there. Mimi Leder happens to be their executive producer-slash-director, and she and I came up on ER together. And the first person to direct the first episode I did was Lesli Linka Glatter, who not only directed me on ER, but also on The Good Wife. It really felt like a safe environment to explore this kind of a character in the middle of a pandemic.
DEADLINE: What was especially appealing about Laura Peterson?
MARGULIES: One of the things that I find so interesting about her is, this is a woman who really has her life together.
