The 'American Crime Story' star discusses what she did (and didn't) ask her producer and friend in shooting the pivotal episode.
executive producer Ryan Murphy, “Man Handled” took more than three weeks to film — an unheard-of length for shooting a single TV episode, even in the COVID era when productions move somewhat slower than usual. The episode details the intense and occasionally surreal moments of the interrogation, from hardball tactics by independent counsel lawyer Jackie Bennett Jr.
It seemed like with his direction, Ryan really was emphasizing not just that you were the only woman in that room, but physically how much bigger these guys are than you.. I’m a very short person, and I love being short, but yeah, it was even more stark. This is the reality of what actually happened, but Monica had just come from the gym and was in her workout clothes.
But when it came to “Man Handled,” I understood what my task was very deeply. I had done a year of research, if not more, by the time we shot it. It was more — it was over a year of research, closer to two. I knew what my job was, and I didn’t want Monica to have to go through that again. I’m only 28 now, so the idea of someone saying to me that I could be in prison for the entire length of my life so far — and at that point she was 24, so that was longer than she’d been on Earth. And she still was willing to stand there and say, “I will not be wired and call them.” It’s remarkable, it’s unbelievably brave. And understandably, when her mother, Marcia [Mira Sorvino], finally gets there, it’s her job as her mother to insist that she put herself first.
I really believe that Monica and Linda were truly good friends. I think that’s part of the story people really do not understand, but it was very important for us to portray that they really were good friends and counted on one another. Monica was very open with Linda — obviously we know that through the tapes.
