The post ‘Burn Notice’ Star Sharon Gless Talks Series’ Big Death: ‘It Made Me Cry’ appeared first on TheWrap. I hope they let me do it until I can’t anymore. I prefer drama that has comedy in it, like Madeline.
I’m going to take a few months off and then I’d like to get to another hit series. She just didn’t have a lot of time and it wasn’t the kind of place where you could milk it – wait a little longer and everyone gets blown up. I guess there’s eight thousand ways to do it and I just did it. And then I’ll replay it in my mind afterward as I’m driving home and think, ‘Damn, I wish I did it this way.’ But, I don’t think about that closing scene. I prepare a lot for a scene before I perform it. How do you feel about the way it turned out? Would you have changed anything? So, you just do it fast.Īlso read: ‘Graceland’ Postmortem: Creator Talks Finale Fallout, What to Expect on Season 2 She was scared, but there was no other choice. When I performed it, when it was time for her to go, she just did it. So, time is running out and they’re all in danger and the only one who can save her grandson is Jesse. That’s the last time she sees him and she has no idea that she’s the one who’s actually going to die.
She knows that he’s going to die and she even tries to use Charlie’s birthday as a way of getting him to stay. There was an earlier scene in the previous episode where Michael comes to see her at the safe house and he’s saying goodbye. How did you feel when you found out just how she would die? You are going to take one for the team.’ I was never quite sure how she was going to do that or how he was going to write it. Your last scene will be you lighting up that cigarette.’ Then, he said, ‘It’s not quite what you think. I wanted her to say in the last scene, ‘Oh, f–k it, I’m lighting up.’ And he said, ‘Interesting enough, that’s what we want you to do. The exterior of this home in Miami Florida doubled as the fictitious home of Madeline Westin, mother of super spy Micheal Westin on the long running USA television program 'Burn Notice.' The television show starred, Jeffrey Donovan is Michael Westin, a burnt spy forced back to Miami to figure out who burned him and why. When Matt and I were talking about Season 7, I wanted her to quit smoking in the last season but I told Matt that I didn’t want to be a saint about it. How did you find out that Madeline would die on the final episode? And they became funny together and sad together and you learned why Mike was the way he was. But, Matt wrote this interesting woman, which they used. Also, what’s cool is that no spy has a mother. She would do anything to get Mike back in her life. Let me give you one piece of advice: Mike gets all his moxy from her.’ I said, ‘OK.’ Maddie was very manipulative and it just sort of grew. Sharon Gless: After the pilot got picked up, Matt came to me and said, ‘There has to be more to her than I’d written. TheWrap: Matt Nix gives you a lot of credit for the evolution of Madeline over the seven seasons.

Michael Westen: Getting information out of hotels requires a delicate touch.
