Welcome to Young Hollywood. com.

Young Hollywood

Hey, Young Hollywood, we're here with Rebecca Romijn.

Young Hollywood

Now, Eastwick, I'm so excited about this.

Young Hollywood

We've interviewed a lot of men.

Young Hollywood

Now, we have the beautiful, sexy women.

Young Hollywood

You've been so successful.

Young Hollywood

What are you excited about for with this role?

Rebecca Romijn

You know, she's probably the character that's closest to me in real life I've ever played.

Rebecca Romijn

She's bohemian, earthy, artist who lives just outside of town.

Rebecca Romijn

She's so much like so many of the mothers of all the kids I grew up with in Northern California.

Daryl Van Horn

Wow, Mr. Van Horn, I have to say you are vain, charmless, creepy, pretentious, arrogant.

Daryl Van Horn

Your hair is from 1982.

Daryl Van Horn

You're not nearly as handsome as you think you are.

Young Hollywood

When you first read this script, what was it that you felt so attached to that you knew you had to be a part of?

Rebecca Romijn

I knew exactly who this character was by the second page.

Rebecca Romijn

That's the great thing about doing television and serialized television, that you start living these characters and getting more and more comfortable in them and really fleshing them out.

Rebecca Romijn

And I feel like I already know who she is, but like the places we're going to take these characters, it's just going to be so much fun.

Young Hollywood

I like you today.

Young Hollywood

Very very festive.

Young Hollywood

I like the the flowered shirt.

Young Hollywood

So give us a little quick synopsis on um your character and what you do to play the role in the show.

Daryl Van Horn

My character's name is Daryl Van Horn.

Daryl Van Horn

I come from we do not know where.

Daryl Van Horn

I might be, we're not sure how old.

Daryl Van Horn

I have powers that are potentially bottomless and fathomless.

Daryl Van Horn

And I arrive in this New England town and I immediately start to insinuate myself in the lives of these three beautiful, beautiful women.

Daryl Van Horn

Ladies, Welcome to my uh my restaurant.

Daryl Van Horn

Dinner's on me tonight.

Daryl Van Horn

That is if I can join you.

Daryl Van Horn

I stir up a whole lot of sex and trouble.

Daryl Van Horn

You wanted someone that gets you.

Daryl Van Horn

Someone dark and mysterious moves to town in a cloud of scandal to stir up sex and trouble.

Daryl Van Horn

Well, here I am.

Young Hollywood

Ooh.

Young Hollywood

We're tuning in.

Young Hollywood

Your character sounds like she's got a lot going on with children.

Young Hollywood

You're sounding very fertile.

Young Hollywood

Trying to get back to who you are.

Young Hollywood

What do you love about this character that you're playing?

Rebecca Romijn

I love that she's so kind and so generous and so selfless.

Rebecca Romijn

You have the hands of a healer, a mother.

Rebecca Romijn

Like nature herself.

Rebecca Romijn

Nurturing and destructive.

Rebecca Romijn

She's just a woman who you know, is a little disconnected from, you know, what she wants for herself.

Rebecca Romijn

I'm not asking you for much, Raymond.

Rebecca Romijn

I never do.

Rebecca Romijn

I just want you to pitch in a little bit.

Rebecca Romijn

In the pilot episode, you know, I say I want a divorce from you, Raymond, but when you've been with someone for 12 years and you have five kids with them, you know, that's not so easy.

Rebecca Romijn

So what I really love about um these coming episodes and what Maggie has written is that she, you know, they get back together and then they split up and then they get back together like it's more complicated than that.
