At the premiere of Starz's Watergate drama, the Oscar-winning actors spoke to 'V.F.' about why this was their ideal first collaboration.

Betty Gilpin, who stars on the series as Mo Kane Dean—the savvy wife of Watergate whistleblower John Dean, portrayed by Dan Stevens—spoke to V.F. about the importance of telling well-worn stories from a different point of view. Diving in meant going beyond the usual cast of characters associated with Watergate and highlighting new perspectives like that of Judy Hoback, the accountant who served as a crucial investigative source during the Watergate scandal. “I think I learned everything,” Roberts said. A lot of people don’t know the inside story.” “And so to have my sandbox partner be this guy, it was a dream come true.” “That’s the real key for me.”

A well-cast look at the presidential scandal that made the suffix "gate" part of our lexicon.

In doing so it captures a time when there were snakes all around, and how far they'd go to save their own skins. Known for her cozy relationship with reporters, Mitchell was kidnapped, held and drugged to prevent her from talking when the scandal broke, after which Nixon's flunkies endeavored to make her look like a drunk and crazy woman (she's shown being asked if she's nuts on a talk show) in order to discredit her. The show comes with a glittering marquee, casting Julia Roberts and an unrecognizable Sean Penn

“It gives me hope because the flip side of that is no matter how flawed we think we are, we all have the capacity to speak up and speak the truth and be heroic,” he says. as long as we have Putins, we’ll have Zelenskys.” Martha was the first to publicly sound the alarm on the former president’s involvement in the Watergate scandal, which caused his presidency and her personal life to unravel. “The show really explores complicity and why people do horrible things,” he said. John Mitchell, who’s Sean Penn’s character, just feels valued by Nixon. He feels valued by somebody in power, and I think we all know what that’s like to feel — it’s just this weird, seductive feeling.” He was a great man.

For Penn, the role meant a physical transformation, one he credits to Kazu Hiro, his prosthetic hair and makeup designer. "This makeup is taken to da Vinci ...

"It takes you a long way." "I think to work with someone... Julia Roberts and Sean Penn taking their real-life friendship to a working relationship couldn't have gone better.

And the next time I saw him, he was in camos and the world had changed," he said. He knows the region much better than I do, and I made it. He continued, "I was speaking to Robert [O'Brien] the whole time here.

Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn took a break Tuesday from promoting his new TV series about the Watergate scandal and, during a luncheon at Nixon Library in ...

Penn, a grandson of Russian-Jewish immigrants, said the clear mission to preserve Democracy in Ukraine makes it easier for progressives and conservatives alike to rally around this cause. “People who have every bit the diversity, and the polarization of ideology, who are able to work together and to fight together and to have common courage.” When Baier asked for a release date on the documentary, Penn said they’re still figuring out what shape the unabashedly pro-Ukraine film might take. Guests at the luncheon got to see a brief clip from the documentary. In Tuesday’s interview with Baier, Penn called for harsher sanctions against Russia and for more direct U.S. support to Ukraine, including sending over fighter jets. Penn was in Ukraine in February to film a documentary about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy when Russia launched its invasion.
