She appears this month in the new filmThe Host, based on the novel byTwilightauthor Stephenie Meyer.
Frances Fisher:My character was described in the book as a 60-year-old, wrinkled white-haired woman.
Let me do that role!
So I wear a long white wig and I don’t wear any makeup.
[She pulls out her smartphone and brings up a photo of herself in character on the set.]
This is no makeup.
We’re living in the desert.
AARP: Oh, wow!
They let you do that?
A:Well, thank God they were true to the character.
And Bill [Hurt] plays a 60-something-year-old guy.
We’re, I guess, the movie’s “old people.”
I think it’s important for people to knowThe Hostis not just about a bunch of young people.
Therearea lot of hot, fabulous young actors in the movie.
But there are also a few adults.
A:You’re right.
Well, why didn’t they show up in the trailer?
You know, that’s a very narrow-minded way of marketing a film.
They always seem to target the young people.
And the thing is, there is a vastly higher number ofpeople over 50 who go to movies.
I doubt that I’ll ever be seen inThe Host’s trailer.
[Note: The trailer forThe Hostdoes include a two-second shot of Fisher.
