‘Three Women’s DeWanda Wise Talks Blair Underwood’s Sexual “Sixth Sense” & Explains Why Playing Sloane Never “Felt Free”

deadline.com:

As Three Women concludes its 10-episode run on Starz, DeWanda Wise is still unpacking her character Sloane’s emotionally-charged journey.

The actress, who stars in Lisa Taddeo‘s limited series adaptation of her 2019 book, explained to Deadline that despite the successful, sexually-active character’s seemingly liberated life of polyamorous adventure, Sloane “is everybody.” “Nothing about Sloane felt free to me.

And it’s interesting that people felt that way,” said Wise. “I think my intention going into the series was to peel back this layer of what we feel like we see on social media.

At face value, you’re like, ‘This is really aspirational.’ But as the series goes on, you dive more into her life and see how she became who she became.” Sloane and her husband Richard (played by Blair Underwood) convey the lives of a power couple with a happy family.
