But if you gave them really good roles to play more often, we would feel differently. We just don't see them. Maybe these films can open the door a tiny bit and let those stories in." Low-keunforced and elegantly made, "Eve" is a poignant examination of things not often explored, from the intensity of grief when a partner of long duration dies to the first steps toward a return to full participation in Id-During her marriage to Leonard she focused on the arts foundation she and her that crehusband ated residencies for artists and y, e. ed built theaters. Before those years Nimoy had an active life as actor, director and film executive. As Susan Bay she appeared in shows like "Perry Mason" and "Remington Steele" and was the female lead in the 1967 Jerry Lewis movie "The Big Mouth." But because "the scripts I was given were not impressive in any way," she became interested in the other side of the camera and ended up directing episodes of Norman Lear's "All That Glitters" and other projects. That in turn led to her being one of what is now called the Original Six, a group of female DGA members who in 1979 formed the Women's Steering Committee. Armed with statistics provided by a mole inside the DGA ("He let us into the offices in the dead of night"), it was the first group to speak out for gender equality behind the camera. All this was well in the past when Leonard Nimoy died in early 2015 and Susan Nimoy found herself enveloped in grief. "It's like losing a limb, you can't prepare for it," she says. "Leonard had had COPD; I'd read every book out there about grief. I said, 'It's going to be different for me; I can handle that.' I could not." Proving unexpectedly helpful was Abrams, who'd become close to the original Spock while directing 2009's "Star Trek" reboot. "When Leonard died, that's when the emails started," Nimoy says. "He emailed me 365 days in a row, that was his form of kaddish, the daily prayer for the dead. He recognized how wounded I was; he just wanted me to know he hadn't forgotten about me." Along with emails came the offer of a space to write at Abrams' Bad Robot production company, which Nimoy eventually accepted. "I stayed in my little space and I wrote and wrote and wrote," she says. "I wrote about all the things I was fearful of, facing 75, being a widow. "Men get casseroles when their wives die, women get nothing," she explained. "You're eliminated from some social circles you enjoyed when you were married. You have to initiate everything; you feel like a backstreet wife. I'm not bitching, I'm just underscoring it." Although the first part of "Eve" deals with this sadness, the second part, which came out of nowhere for the writer, focuses on a sexual situation. "I had dinner with a friend of mine, an actor much younger than I am, and I felt something shoot through my body," Nimoy reports. "I felt very female, very sexual, very alive. I thought, 'You are not dead, you are alive.' And I thought, 'What if Eve has this feeling, what would that look like?" It's important for Nimoy that the erotic encounter depicted in "Eve" is not random, it's connected to her subject's life. "The scene is far less sexual than an emotional catharsis," the filmmaker explains. "And I am in no way suggesting the answer to grief, to how to constmct a new life, is hooking up with a younger man." That episode, however, led crisis over to a casting, which compounded last-minu- te Nimoy's initial difficulty finding an actress to play Eve. "As casting directors will tell you," she explains, "when you are looking for an actress to play an older woman who has not had facial work done there is not a lot to choose from." An actress was cast, but "two days before shooting was to start, she bailed. She asked me, 'Do you want me to show my body?' I said, 'At least your breasts' and she said, 'I can't do that." Faced with the choice of "postponing the shoot and recasting or jumping in," Nimoy chose to play the part herself as well as direct. "The nudity was such an important part of the storytelling I felt, yes, I could do it. I didn't think twice." The finished product turned out so well that a feature-lengt- h version is being considered, and Nimoy remembers the shoot as "an altered state, extremely emotional, because it was reliving that feeling of disorientation and overwhelming grief. "The experience had a sacredness to it. I know that sounds weird, but Leonard was on my shoulder, cheering me on." (c) 2018 Los Angeles Times. |
