And I actually, I have enormous respect for that because it’s pretty hard to be, whether you’re somebody that’s famous and in the world where people are Googling you or if you’re somebody that isn’t, you are Googleable somehow because your social media world takes you somewhere. And there really is no information about her on the internet at all. I think it was at first it was kind of nerve wracking when I went to do some research into who she was and how she got involved in all of it. How does it feel to play her and be able to show audiences her role in the making of The Godfather? TD: Speaking of that, based on what I’ve read, Bettye’s role was largely overlooked in the making of The Godfather before this series. And I feel like Bettye was somebody that quietly was a very, very important wingman for Al Ruddy in making The Godfather happen. The people behind it and then yeah, scripts themselves and what kind of madness it was to make one of the greatest films of all time and Bettye McCartt, a tour de force of a woman in a world that was a masculine oriented Hollywood and yet she was kind of the quiet brains and kind of encyclopedia and book of knowledge behind a lot of it she knew so much and kind of even, I always say some of the best things that are said quietly. And so to get to read scripts that had come from his penmanship, or typemanship, and I had this incredibly gorgeous FaceTime with Dexter Fletcher and Nikki Toscano, that was, I mean, again, two extraordinary creatives that I honored I got work with and I would do anything for them ever time they ask. I think Michael Tolkin initially was somebody that I’m a huge fan of his writing. TD: So what made you say yes to playing Bettye? Was it the scripts? So I was kind of not only thrilled to be asked to be a part of it, but also the learning that came from just the first three episodes they send you the first three episodes being like, “Do you want to do this?” You’re like, “What do you mean? I’d pay you to be in this.” Like, yeah. And also because the first three or four, I think three scripts, actually I got first and reading the beginning of the journey that became this kind of extraordinary adventure of making The Godfather was something I knew nothing about. And he wasn’t quite sure whether it was good stuff or bad stuff because I was completely dumbfounded that this extraordinary offer had landed in my lap. And the fact that I didn’t have to audition for it, my boyfriend remembers me being on the sidewalk in London kind of squealing. I had been offered apart in The Offer, which I was completely dumbfounded by when they explained to me what the project was and the team of people that were making it and the cast that they’d accumulated for it. What do you mean? Explain this to me.” And this was how I first heard about it. Okay.” They were like, “Well, you’ve been offered this thing called The Offer.” I was like, “What? I don’t understand. And one of my agents was like, “Why do you think that? Every time we all call you it’s good news.” I was like, “Okay. I call them my guardian angels, and when the whole team calls, I’m always, for some reason, just trained to believe that I’m about to be told some bad news (laughs). Juno Temple: I had this moment where I was shooting season two of Ted Lasso and I got a phone call from my whole team that I work with. It seems a matter of fate, as Temple has since garnered an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Keeley Jones, a woman who describes herself as being “sort of famous for almost being famous”, who eventually finds herself in a relationship with Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) and, by the end of season 2, has the opportunity to grow her career. He assured her he did not, asking her to read the script for the pilot, which Temple loved. Having never been in a comedy, Temple says she thought the comedian had texted the wrong number. Temple found herself wanting to play in a comedy, Ted Lasso, after receiving a text message from creator/star Jason Sudeikis. While still working in various films, Temple started a journey into dramatic television by starring in the HBO series Vinyl in 2016 and then Dirty John a couple years later in 2018. Temple has always been a dramatic actress, finding herself in roles in films such as Atonement (2007) and The Other Boleyn Girl (2008). She originally broke into the acting scene with her first feature film performance in Richard Eyre’s Notes on a Scandal (2006).
