Can’t wait a week until the second season premiere of BURN NOTICE? Neither can we!
That’s why theTVaddict.com will be helping to pass the time by posting a new interview from Senior Editor Amrie Cunningham’s recent trip to the set of BURN NOTICE each and every day leading up to July 10th premiere.
Today’s interview: BURN NOTICE star and legendary TV icon Sharon Gless.
Panel: So what?s it like to be a TV icon?
Sharon Gless Oh my goodness! Am I?
Yeah, absolutely!
Well? I?ll tell you, I don?t know if I?m an icon, but I?ve really been? working more than most my age. And I come from gratitude every day ? it makes me cry ? I come from gratitude every single day. Because I have so many friends, you know, my age, who I was in the industry with, who aren?t working any more. And it feels like a really swell thing that I get to keep working.
Do you fellow cast members look up to you and come to you for career advice?
[Laughs] Um, well, I don?t know if they look up to me, but Jeffrey when we first started just wanted to know, ?How did you do it?? Just the stamina that it takes to be, as he is, in every single scene, which Tyne and I were in CAGNEY AND LACEY. It was devised that way on purpose. There was never a scene we weren?t in. But that?s how this show?s been devised. I think this year they?re giving him a little break, because you can?t kill the golden goose. But normally he?s in every single scene. So last year, sort of the only advise he would ask me was, ?How did you do it?? I said, ?You have to get an assistant. You just have to be able to give stuff to other people and just focus on your work.? He?s so amazing.
