1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Typically, when an iconic 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: or big name actor is up for a role, there's 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: no audition process. They're sent the script, read it, either 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: say yes or pass on the project. And since Helen 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,479 Speaker 1: Marin's breakout role was back in nineteen eighty, it's what 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: she's grown accustomed to. But when she was approached to 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: start in the hit show nineteen twenty three, the experience 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: was anything but typical because of how different show runner 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: Taylor Sheridan likes to do things. Helen tells Deadline. When 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: her agent told her about the opportunity, she asked to 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: read the script and was told there's no script, adding 12 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: that's unheard of. How can I agree to something if 13 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: I haven't read a script. The answer came back that 14 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: Sheridan writes for the people he knows are playing a role. 15 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: It seemed a very sensible way of approaching it. So 16 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to meet him because after we met, he 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: might not want to write a role for me at all. 18 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: I went to Texas, had a wonderful time, really enjoyed 19 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: his company. So I jumped in the deep end and 20 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: had a go. I'm thrilled I did it because it's 21 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: one of the greatest experiences of my life. Season one 22 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: of nineteen twenty three streaming on Paramount Plus. That's direct 23 00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: from Hollywood.
