Co-written by Mr. Spielberg and Tony Kushner, the movie is set in the 1950s and ’60s and follows the fictional character Sammy Fabelman, based on Mr. Spielberg as a young man, as he falls in love with the moving pictures and discovers a family secret that changes the way he views the world. In an interview with Reuters earlier this month, Ms. Williams spoke about the role, seeing an emotional Mr. Spielberg on set and awards season.Q: What was it like to essentially play Steven Spielberg’s mother and take on this high energy role?Very high energy! Honestly, it was a beautiful thing to inhabit for a period of time. I loved being her. I loved burning that brightly and having that much to give, to the point I really missed her… when it was all over.
Q: I understand Mr. Spielberg got quite emotional when she saw you and Paul Dano on set in character as his parents?It’s such an interesting moment because here’s this man in front of you weeping because he’s so moved to see the presence of his parents again, which is really why he made the movie, because he loved them so much and he wanted to bring them back and honor them and tell their story.
