chandler.head HOT OFF THE PRESS from #comiccon @sdcc2020! So excited for the world to see “THE RIGHT STUFF” on @natgeochannel!

chandler.head Fun behind the scene pics-

This “photo” was seen in episode 2 while unpacking moving boxes. The Cooper girls were often less primped and curled than the other astronaut daughters because their Mom was a pilot herself. The hair and makeup team felt that Trudy wouldn’t have cared as much as the other moms about her kid’s appearance. Thanks (thelucycapri ) for the pics!!!

Since starting in theatre at just two years old, Lucy Capri joined the National Broadway Tour of Waitress as Lulu in 2018 and has had many screen roles which has seen her star in Fractured on Netflix alongside Sam Worthington and Lily Rabe released October last year. Lucy played the daughter of British actor Tom Ellis in comedy TV series Queen America and is set to appear in feature film Hillbilly Elegy and the upcoming series The Right Stuff, co-produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. Answering our questions, Lucy tells us about appearing in Waitress, playing Peri Monroe in Fractured and working on her future roles. 

How have you found the experience playing Janita Cooper in The Right Stuff, which is co-produced by Leonardo DiCaprio?

I was sooo excited to get to work on this show! I love learning about outer space and that’s what it’s about – well, it’s about astronauts going into space! It’s been so much fun! I can’t talk too much about it because it’s not released yet, but it’s about the Mercury Seven Astronauts and it’s set back in the 1950s. It’s like going back in time! I play the daughter of Astronaut Gordo Cooper. All of the main characters are based on real people.

How would you describe Janita and what was it like working with your onscreen family?

I’m sorry, I can’t really talk too much about my character until the show is released but I have had the BEST time working with my set sister and parents. Chandler Head plays my big sister and she has become one of my best friends. I love her so much! And Mr. Colin and Ms. Eloise are the BEST too! They are SO fun and funny! I was so excited to see them each day on set!

Are you able to say what you’re currently working on, or have coming up in this year?

I have a few projects that I have to wrap up on but I can’t talk too much about them. I did just return from Europe working on one of them, and I can’t wait to work with the cast and crew again this year when we finish! Fingers crossed that The Right Stuff gets to film a Season Two also! As of right now, this year I have two films coming out (one that’s unannounced – the European one – and Hillbilly Elegy) and then the TV series The Right Stuff will be coming out on National Geographic Channel and Disney+. I can’t wait to see what else could happen this year! I really am so grateful for these opportunities. I feel very blessed and I am very, very thankful.
