Nice interview with Liz from The Star-Telegram:

(under spoiler tags because she talks about Dead of Summer)

Special to the Star-Telegram

Elizabeth Mitchell’s summer camp experiences were never like this.

The Dallas actress — who stars in the coming-of-age horror thriller Dead of Summer, a new TV series about a sleepaway camp with a nightmare past — might have told a few ghost stories back in the day when the campers all gathered around the fire at Camp Longhorn in the Texas Hill Country.

But those scary tales were just in fun. In Dead of Summer, the restless spirits of Camp Stillwater are very real.

“The people in this show have good reason to be scared,” Mitchell says. “There’s something evil going on in these woods.”

Any of Stillwater’s unfortunate counselors and campers could die at any moment.

Dead of Summer premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday on Freeform, the network formerly known as ABC Family.

Mitchell plays Deborah Carpenter, a woman who so fondly remembers her camp experiences that she buys Stillwater and reopens it five years after tragedy shut it down in the mid-1980s.

While the young group of counselors, many of whom knew each other years earlier as campers, gets reacquainted, newcomer Amy (played by Elizabeth Lail) starts seeing dead people, lots of them.

The first hour is also filled with fun ’80s pop-culture references, a creepy caretaker, a slaughtered deer, a cabin that goes up in flames, teen hormones, teen angst and numerous “made-you-jump” scares.

In short, Dead of Summer is an ’80s teen horror movie reinvented as a TV series.

Mitchell is a fan of the genre.

“Spooky is fun,” she says. “Scary is fun. Especially if you’re watching at home with someone who you enjoy being scared with. It gives you a reason to cuddle with them more.”

But the main reason Mitchell signed on was the chance to work again with two of the show’s executive producers, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. She knows them well from her days starring on Lost (as Juliet) and Once Upon a Time (as the Snow Queen).

Familiar faces

“They called and said, ‘We’ve got a character and we named her after you. That’s how much we want you to do it.’ Her name in the script at that time was Elizabeth Mitchell, so she was kind of hard for me to miss. They changed the name to Deb later, but the first script I read had my name all over it.”

Viewers will quickly learn that bad things have been happening in this neck of the woods for a very long time — and that the ancient evil has reawakened. It’s sure to be a summer no one there will ever forget, assuming they survive the experience.

There are essentially two kinds of summer-camp alums: those who loved it and those who hated it. Mitchell was one of those who loved it.

“I went to Camp Longhorn in Burnet, Texas, for 10 years,” she says. “It’s very different from Camp Stillwater, of course. For one thing, it’s much hotter in Texas in the summer. But it was always fun.

“I made a lifelong best friend there, although it’s been a while since I talked to her. I guess I really should call and catch up.”

Mitchell isn’t going to be phoning many people in the weeks to come, however. The show is in production in a remote area outside Vancouver, where cellphone reception is spotty even on good days.

The cast recently endured an entire week of no working cellphones and no wireless Internet connections.

“At first, it was very annoying, because you become so accustomed to being connected to the world around you,” Mitchell says. “But I ultimately made the most of it. Like, I read a book. Imagine that!

“It was a little like going back to the 1980s for real.”

And it looks like there will be a new magazine interview with Liz! At least I hope it's a new magazine interview because it's been a while since the last one.

[Hawthorn]

You have your guest there for barely a minute, you could cut the commentary and let them do more talking at least, Good Morning America.

I guess our next DoS general thread could be titled "Joyful scary."

Aaaand I had never even heard of Elliman magazine before. Hoping the interview is a new one, and good - not just asking the same stuff we knew by heart by now.

[IloveJules!]

I was browsing through the magazine's website. There are only articles over there. No Q & A interviews, which are usually the most interesting. So it's probably going to be just an article. I hope I'm wrong, though.



More interviews:

These next two are going to be under spoiler tags...

Spoiler:

And this is a cute video from the Dead of Summer official website of the cast talking about what decade they would love to live in. Liz's answer is very nice.

[Hawthorn]

Thanks for all of that! Can't watch right now, but I'm glad to have something to look forward to when I get back home tonight.

[IloveJules!]

I just loved Liz saying that her favorite decade to live in is right now because she has CJ with her.



ELLIMAN Magazine new issue is out now.

It's not a Q & A interview, but it's a wonderful article.

In Search Of Elizabeth Mitchell Where does the Emmy-nominated star of Lost find herself right now? BY REBECCA HARDIMAN So, the actress Elizabeth Mitchell went to audition for a role in Meet The Parents years ago. “Robert De Niro and I were supposed to read together,” she tells me, already starting to laugh. “He walked into the room and I burst into tears.” Mitchell giggles, which she does frequently and with abandon. “You have to understand: I had never met a celebrity before. I had no idea. Who knew they were actually real! So there went that audition…to put it very lightly. But he was really nice about it, lovely, kind, you know. I was mortified and humiliated and for years I wouldn’t even talk about it! But, it’s given me a lot of compassion because now when I meet people and they have a strong reaction, I tend to have that feeling, like, ‘Oh hey, I get it, I really get it.’” The Emmy-nominated star of ABC’s ratings behemoth Lost as well as other television hits including NBC’s Revolution (another of J.J. Abrams’ creations) comes across, immediately, as self-effacing, tough and wise, though that’s not how she describes herself. “I’m insanely nerdy and goofy,” she says. “I couldn’t be goofier. I’m going to reserve being cool for my 90s because if I try to go for cool now, it’s going to close a lot of doors for me!” Another infectious bout of laughter follows. What strikes me most about Mitchell’s career is how closely her ethic resembles that of other respected, in-demand character actresses Laura Dern and Laura Linney—dependable, fully committed, authentic, all in. Mitchell is in it for the joy of losing herself in a meaty role, rather than the fame or glory. “I do love a great character,” she says. “I think it feels like flying to say not quite as much, and to just get to be in kind of the skin of what’s written by great people. I tend to gravitate toward things with fewer words and roles with incredibly complex, interesting women. I love trying to figure out what makes them tick. When someone’s been particularly unkind to me or someone else, or behaves in a way that I truly don’t understand, my first thought is ‘Wow, what made them do that?’ That’s where my curiosity always goes.” Mitchell next stars in Dead Of Summer, a horror series on Freeform (formerly ABC Family), and the sci-fi action picture The Purge: Election Year, which is slated for a massive July 4th weekend release. “There’s a lot of stuff said in that movie that is being said in politics right now, and it’s flippin’ terrifying,” she says cryptically. “I’m excited about this movie. I love throwing myself into a new project. I learn my lines, I meet my crew, I make sure that we all can work together in a cohesive way, and then we go to work. But,” she adds, “the internal work is where the magic is, where the joy is.” Having starred on one of TV’s most popular series ever, Mitchell’s used to the exposure that could accompany a blockbuster hit—and, true to form, she’s completely unfazed by any of it: “It kind of just is. Regardless of what happens, I’m going to be hanging out with my son and trying to figure out how to make a lunch that he’ll actually eat.” Elizabeth Mitchell’s road to Hollywood has been more winding than straight-on: She studied at acting school and performed in plenty of regional theater, but the possibility of TV or film success and fame never really occurred to her. “I just wanted to act and so I just kept acting. And then the road led me to more acting in New York City and then across the country and then to Los Angeles. I didn’t have any of those ‘Mom, I’m going to be a star!’ moments; I just didn’t. So I don’t know when the actual moment was when I decided to be an actress, but it makes me laugh all the time. I’m always a little giddy about it. I don’t feel entitled. I just feel like, ‘Wow!’” TOUGH COOKIE Mitchell often plays strong, complicated women, as in her turn as Dr. Juliet Burke on the ratings juggernaut, Lost, here with her onscreen love, Josh Holloway. When I ask Mitchell how an actor can manage to stay so un-Hollywood in that industry’s famously shark-infested waters, she doesn’t hesitate: “By not living in Hollywood, that’s the first thing you do!” The actress and her ten-year-old son have a home in the Pacific Northwest, an area she adores and which she enthusiastically urges me to visit. “The minute August hits,” she tells me, “you should just hop on a plane to Washington State and take your kids and go for a weekend. Do an Airbnb somewhere. You won’t even believe how beautiful it is—amazing, breathtaking. The end of August, your kids will be walking around looking at the apples that are just about to ripen and picking blackberries off trees. It’s totally insane.” Geography aside, Mitchell’s ability to lay low, work hard and keep it real comes pretty naturally. “I’m lucky because I’m an introvert,” she says. “If I gained my joy and my power from being around other people, then I’d probably be a bit in trouble in Hollywood because you tend to pick up whatever culture is around you. But I get my moral compass from books and my son and my parents and my community, which is a very kind and joyful, quiet community. I tend to gain my energy from long walks, reading books and from meditation, and, as a result, I kind of feel like I’m able to find a little place of happiness that doesn’t have a lot to do with what people feel around me, because that can be very tumultuous.” After a pause, she adds, “There’s this quote that was at my acupuncturist’s office for a while—it was the idea that this is your one and only precious life, so don’t waste it. And I just friggin’ love that. I love the idea that you wake up and you say, ‘OK, today is precious.’ I don’t want to preach to anybody, but that’s my daily mantra.” And it shows. click the images to see the full size
