Mary Holland On The Woman In The House, Kristen Bell, And The Wild Ending

Speaking of best friends, as Kristen Bell's on-screen best friend, you get to hang out with her and get your nails done, which is basically life goals for anyone.

Exactly.

[What] was it like working with Kristen and having a spa day with her, and do you have any real life spa days planned in the future?

I adore Kristen Bell. I was a fan of her for years before getting to do this show with her ... I could talk to her for hours. She's so lovely. She's so generous. She's so smart. It was a dream come true getting to get pampered in a spa with her. Right before we did that scene, and this speaks to what a kind and loving person she is ... I didn't know what I was going to be wearing for that scene until I showed up for work that day. I hadn't shaved my legs in a while, and I saw I was going to be wearing a skirt and that our feet were going to be [onscreen]. 

I was like, "Oh my God, I haven't shaved my legs," so she was like, "Okay, we'll get you some shaving cream." She managed to wrangle me shaving cream and a razor and then just sat beside me while we were waiting for the scene to get set up and while I just shaved my legs with no water. She is the greatest.

The ending of the show is absolutely wild, but you're not a part of those battle scenes. Did you get to read those scripts in advance, and how did you react to that plot twist? Did you see it coming?

Oh my God. No, I didn't see it coming. I thought for sure, leading up to it, it was going to be Buell, but no, I did not see that coming at all. I found out when we did the table read, we read all the episodes back to back. I wish I could have taken a screenshot of the Zoom of all of our faces when that moment happened. We were all like, "Ah!" When you see the fight happen, it is a pretty extensive fight, but reading the stage directions of what happens, it was so funny. It goes on for so long, and it's hilarious. Yeah, it really shocked me, and then it shocked me how brutal that fight was.
