‘The G’ Star Dale Dickey On Finally Getting Her Starring Role [Watch]
Dale Dickey has been acting for decades, but always in supporting roles. She stunned everyone with her performance in the 2019 film Winter’s Bone, and has appeared in shows such as Breaking Bad, True Blood, and Justified. But, despite years of experience, she’s never had a lead role in film or TV. Until now. In Karl R. Hearne‘s new film The G, which had its world premiere at the 2024 Fantasia International Film Festival, Dickey plays the foul-mouthed anti-hero Ann Hunter who refuses to be taken advantage of.
In The G:
Harsh-tongued septuagenarian Ann Hunter is nobody’s fool, but she and her ill husband Chip are nonetheless easy marks for a treacherous legal guardian and his accomplices, plotting to swindle the pair. Soon enough, Ann finds herself with no husband, no money, and no home other than the miserable facility she’s been locked up in. But as her tormentors are about to find out, someone who’s had everything taken away from her is someone with nothing left to lose—and a dark secret of her own.
We spoke with Dickey at the 2024 Fantasia International Film Festival about filming her first sex scene, freezing cold Montreal, and getting to really show off her acting chops.
