Walk of Shame's Sarah Wright (Also of Parks and Rec, Mixology, 21 and Over)

MA: The yellow dress Elizabeth's character wears in this movie is basically a character of its own—it goes through so much. But it's actually your dress—at the beginning of the movie, you're wearing it, and then she borrows it. What's the story behind that number?

SW: It was two different dresses—I'm taller than Elizabeth, so hers would have been up to my butt. And I was three months pregnant when we were fitted for it...

MA: Oh, and of course it's the tightest dress ever.

SW: Yes. And I was one of those people that was immediately showing. If you notice in the movie, I'm covering my stomach with my purse.

MA: So no one knew?

SW: No one knew. On the last day of shooting, I was 15 weeks pregnant. I told them then. My son is eight months old now—he's awesome. He's huge! He's looked like a one-year-old for a while.

MA: Since we're on the topic of family, let's talk about your TV family—the Gergiches on Parks and Rec. You play Jerry's daughter, Millicent, who also dated Chris.

SW: When I started, I was working with Rob Lowe—who's the nicest guy on the planet, by the way. So sweet and charming and excited about life. And then, to be Jerry's daughter? It's the best. Christie Brinkley, who plays my mom—she's just a burst of light.

MA: Jerry's family made him even more endearing. Sometimes my heart hurts watching everyone tease him.

SW: I know, he's so lovable. Jim O'Heir is the nicest guy and on set, you'll hear everyone being like, "Oh, no, we have to be mean to him again today!" I felt very lucky to be a part of it. Amy Poehler is one of my idols.

MA: Just like Parks and Rec, Walk of Shame is a female-led production. How does that change the experience of making comedy?

SW: Usually, men are the driving forces in scenes, and you chip in lines here and there, you know what I mean? It's so great to riff with a bunch of girls and get to take charge—not just chime in with the guys.

Walk of Shame opens today. ICYMI, here's my interview with Wright's costar Gillian Jacobs.
