Julianne Nicholson, 53, has had a varied career from modeling to acting, with notable credits like 'Mare of Easttown' where she won an Emmy. In 'Dope Girls', she portrays nightclub owner Kate Galloway, who embodies post-WWI female empowerment. Reflecting on her own past nightclub experiences in 90s New York City, Nicholson connects her character's challenging circumstances to the real-life struggles women faced during that era. Engaging with her co-stars and experiences, she embraces every aspect of her roles, including humorous moments with a rat on set.
I loved playing a gang boss. Who wouldn't? The story is such a fascinating look at that period.
Women had taken control in the men's absence. Now they had to readjust or rebel.
New York in the 90s was amazing. I have such fond memories of that time, especially because I got through it!
The idea of rats disgusts me, but I met the one we were using beforehand. Her name was Sniffs and she was adorable.
