OF ‘DC’S STARGIRL’ ON THE CW
How have you found it to play in the world
of “DC’s Stargirl,” which employs both
realism and fantasy?
It’s so incredible, because the creativity of the
storylines and the fan base – and this whole
world is just pretty fascinating, so cool. I love
being part of “Stargirl” because we’re like a
big family. We spend six months together every
year, and the talent on this is amazing, from all
these actors to Geoff (Johns, the showrunner) to
the writers to the special-effects team. To me, it’s
sort of a brand-new experience, even though I’ve
been in this business so long. It’s been really eye-
opening. and so much fun.
Though your character Barbara knows more
in the current Season 2 about her daughter
Courtney’s super-activities as Stargirl, how
was it for you to play the role initially,
without her seeming too naive?
There’s just so many family dynamics in trying
to keep the balance of being a mom and a
daughter. Obviously, so much went on in the
first season, where Barbara was completely oblivious to it. Her instincts and her intuition knows
something’s not right, but she has to continue to just go with what she knows ... which is not much,
in the first season.

And which is really fun for the second season, because she becomes privy to everything going on –
and part of the team in a way. From my personal experience, parenting is so hard. There’s just so
many challenges; your children are constantly challenging you, and it makes you look in the mirror
so much and see where your own weaknesses are, and your patience. I think with Barbara, she
has really great intentions for her daughter and her stepson, trying to balance life and be a good
mom and role model.
