This was new, challenging, little scary.
From winter's bone to my name is
Earl Knoxville Native Dell Dickey is
known for some harsher gritty rolls,
but she bears a softer side in her
latest film called a Love Song.
Recently Dell and I talked about
that vulnerability and her latest ND
success as well as other projects.
Howdy. You know me, it's true.
Beautiful hotel, it's called the Love Song
a love story and definitely an intimate
softer version of actor Dale Dickey
and her male co-star, Wes Studi
folks that decades playing really
violent, tough part of people.
We've got some weather pockmarked
faces, but he wanted to
show us an A jumper, right?
7 year old filmmaker Max Walker.
Silverman was very convincing
and Max wrote me this beautiful
love letter asking me to do this
film with this role for me and had
seen me taking first in winter's
bone and had followed my career and.
I mean, it's very flattering.
Young artist to admire your work.
The film features 2 childhood sweethearts,
both widowed who reconnect in
solitude in scenic Colorado.
Dr 25 minutes to set and be in
the bright sun all day, and.
Yeah, that was pretty great.
It was her first role during the pandemic
and Dale can relate to her character, Faye.
Enjoy solitude and camping
and flips very carefully.
Off the grid and I kind of enjoy that
with all the hectic pace though,
my husband Steve and I go camping all
the time. I I could live like say,
maybe not exactly like
I like to go through a few rules,
but definitely not like her
character in Amazon Prime's
reboot of A league of their own.
The eight episode series is a
throwback to the 90s hit film
starring Tom Hanks and Gina Davis.
For about. Oh boy,
I I could never do that in real life.
Handle all those girls but
the chaperones were there,
everything they could,
everything for their moment tours.
So it's an important role
and a fun one complete
with 40s style hair curls
and it's very funny.
It's very moving.
A lot of baseball.
That's what it's about.
Women wanted to play baseball,
but it does expand and open
up more into the social issues
of the time that black and
white with racial issues
you tried to kiss me.
I don't remember that all
while a love story tackles
solitude and grief. You said no.
Country music playing a supporting
role. You know. Country
music artist the Songs of of Life.
For this East Tennessean,
but not an on-screen kiss,
it was a first for Dale.
We're both over the hill, so to speak.
A little nervous we're both happily married.
Got a long way, it just it
just felt kind of strange,
but her vulnerability has paid off.
The film is generating a lot of award buzz
after I saw the film finally
and some of the reviews started
coming in from Sundance I I felt
the sigh of relief, just that.
I'm so happy.
No, she certainly didn't mess up the film.
A lot of award buzz.
I'll be excited to see how that
all plays out with award season,
but a love song debuted on the East
and West Coast over the weekend.
Good news. The film opens in Knoxville
at downtown West Regal Cinema,
August 12th, and Amazon primes A league
of their own series drops this Friday,
August 5th, so look forward to seeing
her on the big and small screens,
and she's always so fun to catch up with you.
Has to tell everybody in Easton and see.
Hello Ohh we're glad we can claim that.
