‘The Better Sister’s Jessica Biel And Elizabeth Banks Talk Sibling Bonding, Family Memories And Why We Still Target Successful Women


'The Better Sister': Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks examine fame's facade, childhood memories and how we still target successful women

Speaking at Deadline’s Contenders Television event earlier this year, Milch said, “I think the thing that really stuck with us when I was reading was this idea that siblings get different versions of their parents depending on birth order, and that shapes your identity. Here, in the midst of a fun Deadline cover shoot that revealed their real-life closeness, Biel and Banks, who also executive produce, sat down with us for a heart-to-heart about what Chloe and Nicky had brought up for them personally, the impact of portraying addiction and violence, and playing out the primal lioness roar of women who will do anything to protect their family. Jessica Biel DEADLINE: There’s just so much in this show, but the first thing that came to mind when I was watching it was how real the sisterly bond is, because there’s resentment, there’s history and love all at the same time, and you really see it when the cops, led by Kim Dickens’ Detective Nancy Guidry, come into the apartment.
