Summary Jocelin Donahue isn't the helpless hostage two gunmen think in crime thrillerThe Last Stop in Yuma County. Donahue has been a major player in the indie movie scene over the past 15 years since landing her first leading role in Ti West's acclaimed horror movie The House of the Devil, going on to star in the likes of Knight of Cups, Dead Awake, Holidays and I Trapped the Devil.
In honor of the movie's release, Screen Rant interviewed Jocelin Donahue to discuss The Last Stop in Yuma County, capturing the crafty layers of her hostage character, drawing from her own life for one unique element of Charlotte, reuniting with Richard Brake, and her thoughts on the scrapped Doctor Sleep 2 plans and the movie's subsequent cult following.
She's resourceful, and she's trying to find ways to alert her husband, the sheriff played by Michael Abbott Jr. But ultimately, when she realized that she can't get a hold of him and senses that the guns are about to come out, I was like, "She needs to grab a knife and start fighting here." So that was something that we worked on together, and he was great to let me have that stuff.
Jocelin Donahue: Oh, thanks, Grant, that's so cool. I mean, for me, that was another huge draw. As soon as I heard about the film, I knew that both Richard and Mac Fisken, our DP who was also on Offseason, were both going to be working on this. And I had such a great experience working with both of them on making this film, and Richard is just the sweetest, most serene person.
Donahue Pulled From Her Own Family History For Charlotte's Look When it came to designing Charlotte's look, Donahue recalled her time working with the movie's "super talented" costume designer for her waitress' dress worn throughout the movie, but more interestingly, she also pulled from her own family history to capture her appearance:
Jocelin Donahue: Yeah, I love time traveling like that. It's just such a vibe, the tone and the atmosphere of this film, every department really was telling the same story. I feel like you can see that on screen, it really feels, like you say, late '70s or early '80s.
