Routine During Filming A star in the Paramount+ series The Madison described her wellness routine while filming in Montana. She stated that exploring the state's natural areas helped her recharge.
The star reported hiking eight miles one day with a co-star. She also credited the show's head wrangler for arranging weekend horse rides. These activities, combining nature and physical movement, helped her feel grounded during production.
She said the practice provided a reset, despite finding it challenging during sessions.
In an interview, the star discussed how her personal experiences shaped her performance in the series. She described the role as heavy but cathartic, allowing her to relive certain moments.
She noted sharing grief with her character, including the loss of a father and the sense of family falling apart. The characters in the series are depicted as being removed from their familiar environment, mirroring the disorientation of grief.
During one take, the co-star's performance prompted the star to cry uncontrollably after filming stopped. The star apologized, explaining it reminded her of her father. The co-star responded by saying it showed her instrument as an artist was working.
The star stated she took this advice to heart and would not forget the moment, especially as a newer actress. The interaction occurred during production of the series. To manage overwhelming moments, the star reaches out to family members such as her grandmother or little sister.
She also engages in art-related activities like drawing in her sketchbook or playing guitar. These practices help her feel safe and connected to what matters.
