Shoes help shape Bowen’s Nashville character.
Australian actress Clare Bowen, 23, landed the role of Scarlett O’Connor, a Mississippi Delta waitress turned singer/songwriter, on the ABC drama Nashville. The Southern accent she sports is advertently because of her dad, who brought home such movie fare as Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes. “For me, two things physically shape my characters: the way I move my mouth and the shoes I wear. Scarlett wears very old men’s Frye boots, which are kind of clunky and ground her.”
BOWLER
Playing Richard Burton in Lifetime’s Liz & Dick (airing Sunday), Grant Bowler had no trouble going toe to toe with Lindsay Lohan’s Elizabeth Taylor in the biopic. “Lindsay is Liz reincarnated,” says the 44-year-old New Zealand-born actor. “Elizabeth Taylor was a former child star. She was very troubled and often very challenging to work with. Taylor never had a normal life. I think she and Lindsay share that.”
