Cheryl McCollum

in a certain sense, you know, there were, she was so young.

I mean, that's all you really have to say.

She was 17 years old.

Right, right.

And, you know, and

You know, I don't know what was in her head because I haven't met her and I haven't talked to her.

I mean, I've watched a lot of the old footage and seen statements that she has made, but I couldn't speak for her.

But I can say that having Mary Jo watch her come to that conclusion and say it both as the character and as the real Mary Jo...

was a priority for her, for sure.

It was, yeah.

Yes.

Getting back to her daughter, did her daughter have any reactions on set?

Was she there when you were shooting?

She wasn't actually on the set when we shot.

She was because we shot, you know, in a distant location.

And Jessie, her daughter, has a life experience.

in California and a therapy practice and other things.

So she couldn't make it.

And also, frankly, it can be very boring for somebody who's not actually in the movie.

I mean, everybody thinks it's like, oh, I want to go to a movie set.
