A Friendship That Shines Brighter Than the Spotlight
Reese didn’t stop there. She shared how thrilled she was to finally collaborate with Nicole on Big Little Lies. As a producer, she pulled some strings to ensure they spent as much time together as possible. "I managed to convince my line producer to make sure I was in the same makeup trailer with her at all times while she was getting ready," Reese revealed. "She was stuck with me for two whole hours, and I took full advantage of it by asking her all the questions I could think of!" Can you imagine being in that trailer, soaking in all those stories? It’s like a dream come true for any movie lover.
The Questions That Kept Coming
Reese wasn’t shy about admitting her curiosity. "I mean, like, a lot of questions that would range from anything from, ‘Tell me about Stanley Kubrick. Can you just give me like a little tidbit? I just wanna know anything!’" she joked. And the list goes on: "Gus Van Sant, Sofia Coppola, Baz Luhrmann, Sydney Pollack, Anthony Minghella, Jane Campion—the list is endless!" Who wouldn’t want to hear Nicole’s insights on these legendary filmmakers? It’s clear that Reese was in awe of Nicole’s vast knowledge and experience.

The Impact of Nicole’s Performance
Reese also took the stage to highlight Nicole’s incredible performance as Celeste in Big Little Lies. Her portrayal has sparked important conversations about domestic abuse. "I’ve been working in Hollywood for 25 years, and I’ve never seen anyone transform so completely," Reese said. "I truly believe this helped open up the conversation that so many people are having now about people who are facing this same struggle with abuse and harassment in their own lives." It’s a testament to Nicole’s talent and the power of storytelling to bring about real change.
