“#Judith Chapman on Bringing Sassy ‘Train Wreck’ Gloria Back to ‘Y&R’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Judith Chapman<\/a> returns on-screen to CBS’ The Young and the Restless<\/em><\/a> as the troublesome Gloria Bardwell Tuesday, October 20, barging her way into the Chancellor living room, probably to interfere with the lives of her children.<\/p>\n

A veteran of several soaps, Chapman has seen it all, but there\u2019s been nothing like working on a show in a COVID-19 world. Chapman also talks about another savvy lady she’s bringing to life \u2013 she\u2019s been cast as Nancy Reagan in the Will Smith film King Richard<\/em>. TV Insider chatted with Chapman about life, her return to Y&R,<\/em> and playing a former First Lady.<\/p>\n

What has kept you busy during the quarantine? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Judith Chapman:<\/strong> I taught some yoga classes via Zoom, but then I went into even stricter isolation when I heard about Y&R<\/em> [calling me back]. The first few months were tough. I spent time touching up a play I\u2019d found in Scotland. I found an incredible cast for it including David Lago [ex-Raul in ‘Y&R’], who is my lead. Christian [Jules LeBlanc, Michael on ‘Y&R’], Tristan [Rogers, Scorpio on General Hospital<\/em><\/a>], and Sean Kanan [ex-Deacon, The Bold and Beautiful<\/em><\/a>] were doing video clips for it.<\/p>\n

Presumably, Gloria\u2019s back in town to meet her new grandchild, as Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) had a baby, and Kevin (Greg Rikaart) and his son. What\u2019s it like getting back into Gloria\u2019s skin? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I would never wear the tight clothes that Gloria does! She\u2019s such a wonderful character. I remember when she first got money. I said to the [show\u2019s] costumer that Gloria has never had money and now that she does, she wants to spend it. I\u2019ve got big eyes, lots of attitude and I can wear lots of color. Gloria is not a “beige” person.”<\/p>\n

And she’s a survivor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes. I\u2019ve always felt that as misguided as she\u2019s been, she gets through things and lives to fight another day. She still has some sassy stuff going on and she\u2019s confident. I want Gloria to be an inspiration even though she has been, and sometimes still is, a train wreck.<\/p>\n

Gloria\u2019s sons, Kevin and Michael (Christian Jules LeBlanc) have forgiven their mother a lot over the years. What was it like working with them again?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t missed a beat from the minute we walked on set. We literally did our scenes in one take. The chemistry was and is still there. There\u2019s bickering. “Oh, mother! What are you up to?” There is this under glow \u2013 no pun intended \u2013 of absolute love for her from her sons even though she\u2019s been a “bad mommy” at times. And they were bad boys at times, too.<\/p>\n

How are you adjusting to the safety protocols Y&R<\/em> has implemented? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I have so much admiration for the protocols and the rules and the hoops everyone is jumping through. Sony, CBS, and Y&R<\/em> are keeping us all safe and they\u2019re keeping the show on the air. It\u2019s mind-numbing when you think of what everyone is having to do. At the end of the first few days, I was shaking and exhausted. Nobody is allowed in dressing rooms. Our costumes are outside [waiting for us] in plastic bags. I\u2019d forgotten my gloves one day and the wardrobe assistant said, “I\u2019m so sorry, but I can\u2019t go into your room [to get them].” You have to be so responsible. You have to put everything back into plastic bags so they can be sterilized. There\u2019s no food. You want water? Bring it yourself. It really felt like boot camp. You wear your own mask for [getting your] hair [done]. You can take it off for makeup.<\/p>\n

The whole experience has been a real eye-opener. I have true admiration for everyone. I do so much theater that I\u2019m used to schlepping my stuff around. There\u2019s a lot less pampering than what we\u2019re used to. It\u2019s a very exciting challenge.<\/p>\n

How did you come to be cast as Nancy Reagan in Will Smith’s King Richard<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My agent said they want to see you. This wasn\u2019t just a casting call. They wanted to see me play Nancy Reagan. I called my hairdresser who helped with me [the play] Tallulah<\/em>. I had a short wig and had her style it. I got the part. On a personal front, [at the same time] I got my mother out of her home in Palm Beach and into an assisted living home. Then, we went into lockdown. Not too long ago, I got a call from the film\u2019s production and that said we\u2019re back up in November. I\u2019m very excited.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s King Richard about? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s about Richard Williams, played by Will Smith, who is Venus and Serena\u2019s father, and how he put them on a world stage after training them and getting them to where they are today. I can\u2019t wait to find out who\u2019s playing Ronnie [Reagan]. I\u2019m hoping the actresses playing Venus and Serena will be in my scene, which is about Nancy doing a pep talk. She\u2019s very composed.<\/p>\n

What research did you do for the audition? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I found every picture and video clip I could find to get her voice down. She has this very specific smile. At the end of my audition, I gave a little curl of my lip as I saw Nancy do.<\/p>\n

Circling back to Gloria, it\u2019s\u00a0 always heartwarming when we see true forgiveness with Gloria and her sons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that\u2019s the secret for not just the Fisher\/Baldwin clan, but for all characters. You find that ounce of decency and goodness. You throw that line out and then, you reel it back in.<\/p>\n
