It's hard to believe a seasoned actor like Nicole Kidman would find herself doubting her ability to play an iconic figure like Lucille Ball, but that is just what happened when she started prepping for her role in Being the Ricardos.
“I’ve always thought of myself as somebody who, when it comes to comedy or drama, I don’t do either one of them well enough to do only one of them,” Aaron Sorkin tells Vanity Fair writer James Kaplan in a May-issue sneak peek of The Newsroom, his series for HBO. “So I try to mix up my pitches a little bit in an episode.” But, Sorkin says, “I am truly at my happiest not when I am writing an aria for an actor or making a grand political or social point. I am at my happiest when I’ve figured out a fun way for somebody to slip on a banana peel.” In his forthcoming show, Sorkin investigates the fast-talking and volatile world of cable news, with a cast that includes Emily Mortimer, Dev Patel, Olivia Munn, Jeff Daniels, and Sam Waterston.
