Brenneman Gives Newspaper Interview
Associated Press - November 29, 1999
HOUSTON (AP) - Amy Brenneman says she knows why TV shows portraying adult women undergoing a mid-life crisis are so popular these days.
"I think you've got to go home at some point in your life," said Brenneman, who stars as Judge Amy Gray on "Judging Amy," the story of a 35-year-old attorney who leaves
Manhattan for life in slower-paced Hartford, Conn.
The show parallels in many ways the NBC hit "Providence," which portrays a plastic surgeon in her 30s who leaves her Beverly Hills practice to become a clinic doctor in her hometown of
Providence, R.I.
"I know for me a lot of my 20s was about going off and proving that I wasn't like my mother - I was so different. I wasn't going to be anything like her," Brenneman said.
"And, then, you fall flat on your face, because you're exactly like your parents. I think the appeal is connected to that process, which involves going back, which all of us go through,"
she told The Sun of Baltimore in Sunday's editions.
