[TP] Camryn Manheim's New Practice
Camryn Manheim's New Practice
by Daniel R. Coleridge
Crazy news hit fans of The Practice in May: The David E.
Kelley legal drama returns this fall sans six pink-slipped
cast members — Dylan McDermott, Lara Flynn Boyle, Kelli
Williams, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Chyler Leigh and Marla Sokoloff.
Whoa! Basically, that leaves Camryn Manheim — who plays
plus-sized litigator Ellenor Frutt — as the show's de facto
leading lady. How does she feel about that?
"I didn't think of it like that," grins Manheim, 42. "It's
incredibly bittersweet. The sweet part is, I still have a
job, and I am really grateful for that. I love the show and
I'll stay with it 'til the end of time. The bitter part is
that the people that I've grown to know and love and who
became my family are no longer with us. You can't have one
emotion without the other.
"I will miss working with them on a daily basis," she continues.
"Now that we really are such close friends, I won't have to worry
about missing them always, because I see and talk to them all
the time. But I'm also excited. Change can be good and [new series
regular] James Spader is gonna be so awesome on the show. We've
got a lot of surprises in store for the viewers, and I hope they'll
take that leap of faith with us."
Manheim's especially excited that Sharon Stone guest stars
in at least three episodes. "I don't know if we're gonna get
her for more than three," she shrugs. "You know, she's a huge
movie star. But I'm friends with Sharon. I've known her for
years, and I'm so looking forward to working with her."
How did these divas meet? "After I won my Golden Globe,"
Manheim recalls, "Sharon wrote a letter to me and said,
'I really like your style. Come and play with me and my
girlfriends.' And so we became friends! How often does it happen,
where one powerful woman writes a letter to another powerful
woman and says, 'Join my posse.' So we've been friends ever
since. It's great."
