#MADISON RILEY HOW TO#

But I always laugh because the very first scene that IвЂ™m in is of Duke crying, and it was before I knew how to cry.

WhatвЂ™s that quote from Almost Famous? IвЂ™m going to butcher it, but: вЂњAnytime you get lonely, go to the record store and visit your friends.вЂќ Anytime we miss the characters, we can just turn on the show and watch it.Д®dward: IвЂ™ve watched past seasons during filming if there was something I wanted to touch back on, or remind myself of scenes so I can tap into it for another scene. I think IвЂ™m ready to say goodbye, but the memories are always something that I will have with me. Madison: The entirety of my career as an actor, IвЂ™ve been on the show.

I started when I was seven or eight, so I canвЂ™t imagine Duke not being a part of me. I feel very fortunate to have grown up with Duke. We all put some aspect of our own experience and our own ideas into our characters. ThatвЂ™s so weird, referring to her as a separate party, but do you know what I mean? Like, sheвЂ™s not going anywhere.Д®dward: I 100% agree. I tried not to because I donвЂ™t think Pamela really likes that, but that was emotional for me.Дo you say goodbye to characters like this when youвЂ™ve grown up with them, or do you never really say goodbye? Is that too sentimental? All of us have grown up with our characters, so it was absolutely heartbreaking. Like, this is the last time IвЂ™m going to be doing anything related to Max. A few weeks ago, I saw Pamela doing ADR and I think the culmination of everything just hit me. Mikey Madison: It didnвЂ™t hit me that it was over until a few weeks passed and I was like, wow, weвЂ™re not going to be able to do this again. It was a really, really bittersweet feeling. When I left on the final day, everyone was like, All right, thatвЂ™s it! I didnвЂ™t really process it until the next day. Olivia Edward: My last day was the very last day. They were a little bit more rigid than the states. Riley: Pretty much, but it was more for time because the hours were different in London. In a recent Zoom interview with Vanity Fair, Madison, Riley, and Edward reflect on saying goodbye to their characters, what it was like meeting Adlon for the first time, and what her three real daughters think of Better Things. TheyвЂ™ve also made the show what it is, delivering performances that get richer and deeper with each passing season. In the six years since the show has premiered, Madison, Riley, and Edward have grown up. And thereвЂ™s Duke ( Olivia Edward), the youngest and most sensitive, so attuned to this world that she can communicate with both the living and the dead. ThereвЂ™s Frankie ( Hannah Riley), the middle and most cutting. ThereвЂ™s Max ( Mikey Madison), the oldest and most dramatic. In the Emmy-nominated FX series, which will air its fifth and final season this month, creator and star Pamela Adlon weaves an autofictional tale about a famous-ish working actor living in Los Angeles and taking care of her three daughters. Better Things is a show with a big heart and discernible heartstrings, three of whom are named Max, Frankie, and Duke.
