HBO's 'Sharp Objects' star Patricia Clarkson reveals that playing the one-of-a-kind mother Adora was "grueling"

After Amy Adams, Patrica Clarkson reveals that playing the character in the show was indeed an uphill task
PUBLISHED AUG 1, 2018

HBO's latest crime thriller 'Sharp Objects' isn't for the weak of heart. The tormented characters of the show are complex and cruel in their own way but nothing beats the dark character of the protagonist Camille Preaker's (Amy Adams) mother, Adora Crellin. Portrayed by the fantastic Patricia Clarkson, to say she has done justice to the role would be an understatement. In a recent conversation with Page Six, the 58-year-old revealed that the character was indeed a challenge. "We filmed long 14-hour days in LA. I’ve done dark characters before, but my character, Adora, the mother of all mothers, is powerful dramatic stuff. Growing up wholesome, I never knew her type. She’s one of a kind, and some of it was grueling because of the nature of the material."
