Eve Best on Collider Ladies Night for House of the Dragon Season 2.
The Big Picture Eve Best is an acting ace. She’s got loads of impressive screen credits to her name and is a theater legend with two Tony Award nominations, a Drama Desk Award win and a Laurence Olivier Award win as well. Now she’s an absolute force on HBO’s House of the Dragon. It probably goes without saying, she’s always been a dream guest for Collider Ladies Night, but a recent Ladies Night guest skyrocketed Best to being a top priority.
“When I was a young there was a performance that really struck me. I was seven years old when I saw Grease for the first time and Stockard Channing as Rizzo, which I think is just kind of an era-defining performance, which I actually watched the other day again. I haven't watched Grease for years and years. It is extraordinary what she does and the doors that she opened with that performance in who she was and the way that she was, and because I identified with her so much.
Turning the conversation to Best’s work on stage, I had to ask about the particular moment that made such an indelible impression on Gunning. While discussing the importance of being in the moment and working with the unexpected in live theater, Gunning recalled a particular performance of Best’s. “I went to see a play of Hedda Gabler with an amazing actress called Eve Best,” she began.
“There are things that happened at The Globe, like we were doing scenes at one point, a very, very dramatic scene, very intense, and I was terribly cross. It was Beatrice and Benedick, and I was really giving Benedick welly, furious with him, and my skirt, the lacing had come undone, and it was gradually falling down my knees. I looked down, and I saw that it had fallen off, and I just looked at the audience and we all just had to laugh because it was just ludicrous.
An actor doesn’t have to agree with decisions a character makes, but it is vital they understand why those choices are made. And that right there is why Rhaenys would have made an excellent Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. Best continued:
