Sarah Chalke Was Scared And Thrilled To Film Firefly Lane Scenes With No Makeup – Looper

In an article with Parade, Sarah Chalke opened up about what it means to be on “Firefly Lane.” Something unique about the show is that Chalke portrays Kate at every stage of life, except for a very young Kate played by Roan Curtis. Due to this, Chalke sometimes had to forgo makeup, which she did when playing herself as a Kate in her 40s. She described the process as “Something I’ve never done before, and it was kind of terrifying and fun and liberating and great.” Chalke elaborated, “And then there were things that pulled me outside of my comfort zone that I didn’t know were going to happen.”

Beyond the makeup, Chalke also noticed the importance of Kate’s frames. She swiftly realized that the glasses helped define the character. The actress was adamant about finding the perfect fit for Kate and admitted to traveling all over Vancouver and buying several pairs.

While “Firefly Lane” may be ending, fans still have the rest of Season 2 to look forward to. Despite not having a lengthy run, the series proved to be a very impressive feather in Chalke’s cap. Her performance garnered praise from fans and even won her a Leo Award for her leading performance (per IMDb).
