Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon, stars of the hit series ‘The Gilded Age,’ recently opened up about their experiences bringing their young children to the set of the show. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Carrie Coon revealed that Morgan Spector’s 7-year-old daughter has a knack for impersonating her character, Bertha Russell, on the show. Coon, who plays the determined matriarch Bertha Russell, admitted that Spector’s daughter might even do a better impression than herself.
The Gilded Age, created by Julian Fellowes, has garnered critical acclaim for its portrayal of Manhattan’s social elite in the late 19th century. Spector, known as “Train Daddy” on set, shared a heartwarming anecdote about his daughter visiting him on location in Rhode Island. He recounted how she was transformed into a princess by the costume department, complete with one of Bertha’s tiaras, much to her delight.
Carrie Coon, who is a mother of two, also shared her experiences of having her children visit her on set. She mentioned that her children find it unsettling to see her in full makeup and costume, as it drastically changes her appearance. Despite this, Coon emphasised the importance of creating a kid-friendly environment on set and praised the crew for their warmth and hospitality towards children.
The interaction between the actors’ children and the show’s crew highlights the family-friendly atmosphere on the set of ‘The Gilded Age.’ Coon expressed her gratitude for the crew’s accommodating nature, noting that they go out of their way to make the children feel welcome. Spector echoed this sentiment, acknowledging the crew’s enthusiasm for having children around.
In addition to their time on ‘The Gilded Age’ set, Coon and Spector shared anecdotes about their children visiting them at work on other projects. Coon mentioned that her kids had the opportunity to visit her on the set of ‘Ghostbusters,’ where she looked more like herself. However, there was one project, ‘The White Lotus season 3,’ that her children did not visit due to logistical reasons.
The bond between the actors and their children adds a personal touch to the filming experience on ‘The Gilded Age.’ Coon and Spector’s willingness to share these heartwarming moments reflects the camaraderie and sense of family that extends beyond the screen. As ‘The Gilded Age’ continues to captivate audiences with its intricate storytelling and compelling characters, the behind-the-scenes glimpses of family life only serve to deepen the connection between the cast and viewers alike.
