Damages

Close plays Patty Hewes, a powerful, successful attorney and head of her own law firm, in this drama from creators Glenn and Todd Kessler and Daniel Zelman. Co-starring Rose Byrne and Tate Donovan.

I think she was constantly challenged. For me, Patty was a woman whose rage and pain – and her hatred of bullies – had turned her into this incredible litigator. The grey side of things – the fact that she didn’t always play by the rules as far as winning is concerned – that never changed.
