Judith Light on The Terror: Devil in Silver, Mental Health, and How Horror Finally Found Her

About this episode

Judith Light discusses her role in The Terror: Devil in Silver and explores themes of mental health and the healthcare system.

Judith Light says horror found her, not the other way around, but The Terror: Devil in Silver might be the role that proves she belongs there. Talking with Kyle Meredith, the legendary actress gets into disappearing into the character of Dory, a woman abandoned inside a psychiatric hospital for decades, while also digging into the series’ bigger themes around mental health, homelessness, and a healthcare system that leaves people behind. Along the way, she talks about working with Dan Stevens, CCH Pounder, and Steven Root, the “wild hysteria” offset that kept everyone sane while making something this dark, and why entertainment works best when it gets people talking afterward.
