Masters of Sex Preview: Lizzy Caplan Teases New Series

Interviewer: How does it feel being the star of a Showtime show? Lizzy: I've been anticipating it coming on TV for so long now. I read the script 2 years ago, so it feels like maybe for the first time I'm ready for the public to receive it. Interviewer: How do you think that [inaudible: 00:18] is going to reflect today's sex-obsessed culture? Lizzy: I think that people will realize really quickly that our show is not about making fun of how uptight people were in the '50s. I think if anything, you're going to see some serious, and at times, disturbing parallels to today. Interviewer: Did you read the book that it's based on? Lizzy: Yeah, the book's amazing. I highly recommend it. Interviewer: Tell all of our viewers that. Lizzy: Yes, read the book. Interviewer: How does your character change from the beginning, throughout the series? Describe us in one word [inaudible: 01:05] . . . Lizzy: In the first season? Interviewer: . . . love and sex, together. Lizzy: She sticks to that. She definitely holds onto that, or tries to. I think as she gets taken more seriously, she just gets legitimized.
