Emily Dickinson lived in the 1800’s, but if you ask the team behind Apple TV Plus’ upcoming series, “Dickinson,” her story is more current than ever. Hailee Steinfeld stars …
stars in the the modern-day retelling of the poet’s young life. The actress — who makes her first full-time foray into television with the role and also serves as an first-time executive producer on the series — believes her young female fans can be inspired by Emily Dickinson. In other words, Gen Z will be able to see themselves in a poet from 1850.
“I hope that they don’t feel like they have to be okay with being unseen, because that’s not okay. You should want to feel understood and good about who you are and what you do and what makes you happy,” Steinfeld toldon the red carpet at the Dickinson premiere at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn. Thursday night’s special event marked the first-ever New York City premiere for“I’m so excited that I was given the opportunity to embody this character,” Steinfeld continued.
“When I heard Hailee was going to be Emily, I thought, what an inspired choice, because she brings along a fanbase that might not know Emily, but they will be introduced to her now, and I think it’s a wonderful voice for young girls because she was that young when she was writing those poems,” Krakowski said, adding that she was influenced by “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “Rhoda” and “Phyllis” growing up.
“I grew up wanting to be a modern, single woman living in New York, and I think those TV shows inspired me to want to do that,” Krakowski recalled. “I think this show will inspire young women to believe in their own voice, to go after what they want, even if it sometimes feels like the world is saying no. In the same way a Billie Eilish song can make you feel like you belong, I think Emily Dickinson could have the same influence on young girls today.
“This is a coming-of-age story about a radical young female artist who was ahead of her time,” Smith said, pointing to the female sexuality in the show, which was not defined in the 1800s like it is now in 2019. “One of my projects here is to say if Emily Dickinson wasn’t understood in her time, can we understand her better in ours? I’m intentionally using her life and her poems and the context of the 1850’s in order to reflect on today.
