NYP: What did your mother say about this part?ĮA: She said, “Do it while you’re young.” I was lucky to have a dance background because you’re basically lifting your entire body with your abdominals. I thought it was cool to play this smart, young woman adept with her body and her mindĮA: I took a few lessons, worked with a choreographer. New York Post: What made you want to play this role?ĮVA AMURRI: This is obviously a big challenge I embraced. The 24-year old New Yorker spoke to the Post by phone and revealed that the strip tease did not go over well with everyone in the family. “You can, for sure, expect extracurricular activity between us,” she says. In some provocative scenes that recall Sarandon’s early nude scene in Louis Malle’s “Pretty Baby” and “Atlantic City,” Amurri, who stands nearly 5’ 10” tall and bears an amazing resemblance to her mother, does a sexy pole dance - right in front of her abashed teacher’s face.Īmurri, whose father is Italian film director Franco Amurri, says that stripping’s not as easy as you think and that Duchovny made her “really comfortable.” How comfortable remains to be seen, as Amurri will appear in 9 episodes this season. When she’s not working on narrative structure, Jackie works as a stripper. She makes a big impression this week on Showtime’s “Californication,” as Jackie, a creative writing student of the series’ main character, seedy college professor Hank Moody (David Duchovny). The actress daughter of Susan Sarandon has just moved to Los Angeles from New York and decided to try her hand at series television. That they’re not really worth talking or thinking about.Eva Amurri is sleeping on an air mattress. That these things don’t really mean anything. One of their favorite expressions is, “I think you’re reading too much into that.” I think what they mean is that I’ve thought too much about the significance of Runkle and Rick Springfield sharing a prostitute or Runkle “kind of” raping his wife. show? Is there any such thing? I spend a lot of time as a professor having this discussion with my students. show.īut what does that mean, just a t.v. And some people would say I should not care and realize that it is, in the end, just a t.v. And they’re not, I guess, supposed to be particularly realistic characters? I don’t know. Runkle, Hank, his daughter, his ex-wife, and I suppose Rick Springfield, are all characters on t.v. That was actually some good t.v.īut then there’s the scene with Runkle and Rick Springfield sharing the prostitute/stripper, and I won’t go into the gory details, because I didn’t want the image in my brain, so I’m not going to put it in yours if you don’t want it there either. In the interests of attempting to be fair, I will also note that thrown in there was a very touching episode in which Hank reconnects with a high school friend and reflects on how people grow apart over time and move in different directions. repealed head and master laws which gave husbands the right to do pretty much whatever they wanted to their wives and children), caught a venereal disease, and shared a prostitute (though she seemed at first to just be a stripper) with Rick Springfield. His friend Runkle has, as far as I can tell, raped his wife (which is still a crime, though only really since about the 1970s when most states in the U.S. He still fucks indiscriminately and hangs out with others who do likewise. Hank is now a full time father, rather than a part time father. Do I really want to watch someone who has a daughter be vile, irresponsible and grotesque?” And the answer for myself was, all in all, no.Īnd now it’s Season 3, and nothing has changed. At the end of our first Netflix season I said to my significant other, “It’s all very interesting, but where do you go now? He has a daughter. Here were people who I assumed I was not supposed to consider particularly real people, doing idiotic things and living a life which in a real person, I would find deeply, deeply abhorrent and morally reprehensible. I liked it, in the same way I sometimes enjoyed Curb Your Enthusiasm or Entourage. So I added it to the Netflix queue and with my significant other, sat down to check it out. Yet, I was living a Duchovny-less life until a few years ago when a friend recommended I watch Californication. It is not great revelation to say that I had a huge crush on David Duchovny during The X Files days.
