“I think even if I tried to do the role like Donna Reed, I couldn’t just because I’m not her. “You have to find that happy balance of showing people what they want to see but also bringing your own spin and your own take.” “While I do want to pay homage to Stewart’s role and the character, I also want to stay true to my personal take on the character, and that has been fun for me,” Smith explains.

“But if you didn’t take the route you are on, you wouldn’t be where you are or meet the people you’ve met.”Īs for living up to a classic Christmas movie and two award-winning performances, Smith and Walters aren’t concerned. “A lot of people can relate to him because we’ve all been young and had these big dreams of everything we are going to do, and then things happen in life where those dreams are cut short and those plans fall through,” Smith says. The two characters, originally portrayed by Patrick Stewart and Donna Reed, are a true portrayal of relationships and the ups and downs of life. Every interaction we have, she is fighting for something,” Walters says. “A lot of my scenes are with Craig, and my favorite part about playing is how much she fights for what is right and what she wants, not in a selfish way. This will be the second season at GLT for both Walters and Smith, who are set to play love interests in almost every show this season. Walters performs alongside Craig Smith, another resident actor at GLT, who is playing George Bailey. In the end George realizes that the entire community is his family,” Walters says.
“Around the holiday season is when people look at their families and reflect on having these wonderful people around them and having people who love and accept you. The story takes a walk through Bailey’s life with his guardian angel, Clarence, and subsequently makes him realize just how much he affects those around him and how lucky he is. The holiday movie finds George Bailey looking back on his life and his decisions, ultimately contemplating suicide from a bridge on Christmas Eve. “It’s all about when people around us are struggling and giving people that unconditional love and support and letting them know that you’re there for them, which is what the holidays are all about.” She watches George’s downward spiral and sticks with him,” she says. “It’s a true testament of sticking with someone. Walters is playing Mary Hatch Bailey, who utters the famous line when she is a young girl. “George Bailey, I’ll love you till the day I die!” is one of the most iconic quotes from the classic film “It’s a Wonderful Life” and it sets the tone for the rest of the film, says Jamie Ann Walters, resident actor at Greenville Little Theatre.
