Jamie Lee Curtis says the take The Bear used for her dinner table scene came right after Ayo Edebiri whispered one word in her ear: purple "I hate if somebody yells in front of the crew a direction to me." "Ayo walked up to me, whispered in my ear, purple." "All of what's happening to Donna in that scene is pain, not anger." "The wound is purple. A bruise is purple." She had just played the scene twice at full blast, and one color moved her from rage to hurt. A shouted note across the set would have embarrassed her, while a quiet word in her ear got the take they kept. How you give a note matters as much as the note. ft: @questlove Questlove Show on youtube
