Heather Graham Talks About Her Role in Place of Bones, Playing a “Real Woman” With No Makeup

When it came to portraying her gritty role in Place of Bones, Heather Graham was game, even though it meant being completely natural on screen.

Graham exclusively told Us Weekly, “The director, Audrey Cummings, was like, ‘I don’t want you to wear any makeup in this movie.'” Graham was promoting the upcoming horror Western.

“I simply decided to go for it even though I’m wearing this kind of worn, unflattering outfit. I hope that comes to pass. I have no desire to emulate this glitzy Hollywood actress. I simply want to embody the modern-day lady who is struggling to survive and care for her daughter.

Friday, August 23 was the release date of the film, which stars Graham as Pandora, a mother fighting for her life with her daughter (Brielle Robillard). A wounded outlaw seeking safety brings a notorious bank robber and his vicious gang to their doorstep, all desperate to recover a stolen fortune.

Starring in the action-packed thriller with a script by Richard Taylor are Tom Hopper, Corin Nemec, and Cowboy Cerrone.

Graham struggled with self-consciousness when she decided to forgo the sparkle and glamour that usually accompany Hollywood filmmaking, even though she was more than willing to play her character according to the times.

“I asked the cosmetic artist if I could possibly have a bit extra eyeshadow. “A little more mascara,” I say, and they say, “No.”

Graham told Us that she was in “love” with the movie’s script and the concept of playing a strong female protagonist in a genre that doesn’t often have complex female leads, despite any initial obstacles.

“I thought that was just a great character, and I feel like that really almost never happens,” she said. “And I thought it was an exciting fresh take on a Western with a super surprise ending, and I love the character of my daughter.”

Graham said that the “complicated” and multi-layered nature of her character throughout the movie made her “really excited” to perform the part.

Graham clarified, “She loves her daughter and wants to protect her, but she’s kind of angry and bitter.” And I was amazed by her intelligence and resourcefulness. Additionally, she demonstrates her ability to try to outwit these villains and her general intelligence.

Naturally, Graham needed to learn how to use a gun in addition to giving up makeup in order to bring Pandora to life. Although the actress had practiced shooting fictitious pistols in “other movies” before, Graham clarified that she was able to perfect her skills thanks to costar Nemec, who “is, like, a real cowboy,” and the other “cool stunt guys” on set.

“It’s a lot of fun to get into a western gunfight with these bad guys,” she remarked, adding that the team was greatly astonished when she was able to perform one of her own stunts.

She said, “I had a scene where I did my own stunt and I run out and I’m shooting.” “The gun was very heavy, but I managed to shoot before collapsing.” I performed my own stunt and received applause from the stunt squad. The fact that I performed my own trick thrilled them.

Graham was astonished not only by the entertaining costumes and thrilling gunfights, but also by the movie’s ending, which she described as “really scary” but seemed novel and contemporary for the genre.

She told Us, “I was shocked and it was really unsettling.” “But I also just realized that this is a story that has never been told before. My pals were commenting, “I had no idea where this movie was going,” when I took them to see it. I was clueless as to how it would conclude.
