Rachel Boston and Sarah Ramos Talk About
"American Dreams" at the Premiere of "The
Emperor's Club"
by Rebecca Murray
RACHEL BOSTON AND SARAH RAMOS
("American Dreams")
“American Dreams” takes place years before
either of you were born. What did you do to
help prepare yourself for this series?
SARAH RAMOS: I didn't study. I went to the
auditions and then when I got it, they gave us
all packets from the 60s. I read part of it but
not all of it. I just learned as we were filming.
RACHEL BOSTON: I really enjoy it. I went
home right before the pilot, and the executive
producer Jonathan Prince sent us a packet. It
was a 150 page “Welcome to 1963” packet. I
read that whole [thing] and I watched movies
from the 60s. Now the only thing in my car is
60s music.
Was there any particular actress you could
relate to or that you drew on for this role?
RACHEL BOSTON: I watched a lot of the
“Gidget” movies. What I also did was before
we started shooting the series, I went home
and went through all my grandmother's old
magazines and pictures. I just talked to my
parents and my aunts and uncles. Everyone
is just so excited to be able to watch their
childhood on television.
Your character is a very strong young woman
in the 60s. Is she someone that a lot of
people from that decade can relate to?
RACHEL BOSTON: I think more people from
the year 2002 can relate. But I am strong and
I love being able to play a girl that
understands the change that's happening, I
think, a lot more than the Pryor family is able
to. I love having that opportunity. I have a lot of
exciting stuff coming up.
What's it like working with your onscreen love
interest, Will Estes?
RACHEL BOSTON: He's a great guy. We hit it
off right away. We are pretty close friends.
Tomorrow I actually have to go in just to kiss
him - that's my scene (laughing). I go in and I
have a make-out scene (laughing). I was
looking at the schedule and I said, “This can't
be right. That's so weird.”
Most of this series is dramatic, there's not a
lot of comedy or action. What's the
atmosphere on the set, behind-the-scenes?
RACHEL BOSTON: It's very loose. We joke
around a lot. Actually Monday we were
shooting and joking around and we turned
around and knocked over a whole table
because we were dancing. In the table
reads, we are always laughing. Everything
seems really funny to us. It's awesome.
Gail O'Grady and Tom Verica are the
seasoned pros and I guess we're the
younger crowd. We are definitely learning. I'm
learning so much from them.
Is there any musical co-star coming up that
you're real excited to see on the show?
RACHEL BOSTON: Usher made it on to the
show. I'm from Tennessee and his
grandparents live in Tennessee so growing
up it was always like, “Usher made it - we
can make it, too.” When I got to meet him I
was like, “You made it - I can make it, too!”
You actually said that to him?
RACHEL BOSTON: I did, and he kind of
looked at me like, “Okay…” and then we got
our picture taken together.
Anyone else coming up that you're exciting
about?
RACHEL BOSTON: Ashanti is coming up in a
few weeks. She is just amazing. That'll be
really fun for [the audience].
