In interviews with cast and producers and again during a press conference held for the assembled journalists, it came up time and time again. Calgary singer-songwriter Jann Arden, who plays a fictionalized version of herself in the series, would insist that she is not really an actress. Her co-stars, her producers, her director — even her acting coach — would insist that she is.
On that particular day, there was plenty of evidence to support the latter theory. Journalists were invited to watch two scenes being shot near Bragg Creek for the last couple of episodes in the series, which begins airing on March 20. The first made good use of Arden’s well-established knack for comedy, as Jann becomes increasingly flustered by the simple domestic task of properly folding a bed sheet.
But the other was an intimate, dramatic moment involving a conversation between Jann and her mother, Nora (Deborah Glover). In a quietly effective scene, Nora acknowledges her fading memory and reveals a dawning awareness of the dementia that is slowly overwhelming her. It’s a sad moment, filled with pathos and a few tears. For Arden, whose mother would pass away less than three months later after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s, it was not hard to be in the moment.
