Asked about the independence that has often defined her characters, McDormand noted that in the first half of her professional life she had played supporting roles to male protagonists. “Now, once my child left home, after a certain number of years of making sure that I was in New York doing theater while he was in school and doing roles in the summer, I decided that I wanted to play the protagonist.
“I do feel like I’m having the opportunity now and it’s deeply gratifying that that began in my mid-50s as a women in my profession, that I was able to actually take on larger roles in film, carry them and develop them, and I’m not going to stop.” McDormand recalled fondly the independent film theaters of yesteryear, whose owners also personally programmed the movies they played.
While McDormand described the Coens as the “collective brain and the leadership” of their world, “it was and continues to be a very collaborative process.” She pointed out that while Ethan and Joel work as one, they have very different strengths, with Ethan being “from the literary world and Joel from the visual.”
