Helen Hunt and her World on Fire castmates Julia Brown, Jonah Hauer-King and Zofia Wichlacz talked about the upcoming PBS World War II drama that provides a very personal perspective Friday at the …
Bowker explained that he and executive producer Damien Timmer were fascinated by the 1970s documentaryas they attempted to make a fictional version that provided various perspectives on the war as that documentary did. “Television had changed and people were investing more in longform series – it seemed like a good time to tell something novelistic in its sweep,” Bowker noted.
Hunt’s character Nancy Campbell is an American journalist and the character is a combination of two real-life journos: William Shearer, who did daily broadcasts and kept diaries during wartime, and British war correspondent Claire Hollingwood, who actually did see Nazi tanks gather on the Polish border. Peter Bowker recounted that when Hollingwood reported what she saw to the British Embassy, they discounted her claim and ignored her warning.
Co-star Julia Brown also had a personal connection to her character Lois, as her grandmother was a jazz singer during wartime and Bowker based the character on his own grandmother. Jonah Hauer-King portrays central character Harry Chase and he noted, “Normal life went on [during wartime.] What was interesting for me was learning about how people of our age and generation went through this war and how it changed them. It was such an extreme time.”
