"She is goals!": 'Grand Hotel' star Justina Adorno reveals what it's like to work on an Eva Longoria set
‘Grand Hotel’ is one of the most anticipated shows from the upcoming slew of ABC shows and it is helmed by new mom and the multi-talented Eva Longoria. Set in the "the last family-owned hotel in multicultural Miami Beach,” ‘Grand Hotel’ has a stellar cast to boast of, including the up-and-coming star Justina Adorno.
The young actress plays the role of Yoli, the black sheep of the extravagant (extended) Mendoza family that owns the hotel and has a pivotal impact on the show. Adorno tells Meaww all about working on the sets of an Eva Longoria project, the funniest behind-the-scenes moments, the impact of the #MeToo movement and her upcoming projects among other things.
Here is an edited transcript of the interview:
How was the experience of shooting on those beautiful sets? How much of it was studio magic?
Shooting the pilot was all real, and now our crew is recreating a lot of those beautiful places from the Fontainebleau so I would say it’s a bit of both. It’s all magic though—you can feel it, and hopefully, the audience will too.
