Carol - Letting Go
About the Job
Our actress should be able to carry warmth, humor, and emotional restraint without ever overplaying the sentimentality. Carol has the practiced calm of a mom who’s done this before: the tickets, the snacks, the sunscreen, the chaos. But underneath that, she’s feeling every little change in her son. She should feel loving, grounded, and quietly funny. The kind of mom who can keep it together when her kid lets go of her hand, then completely lose it over a lock screen photo later.
