Mary Moves to ‘Mercy Street’: Synopsis and First Look Revealed
Mary has been a bit quieter than usual on social media lately, and its because she’s been busy another new series, this time for PBS. According to The Wrap,“How I Met Your Mother” alum Josh Radnor and “The Returned’s” Mary Elizabeth Winstead will star in PBS’s civil war drama “Mercy Street” from exec producers Ridley Scott, David W. Zucker, David Zabel and Lisa Q. Wolfinger, the network announced Wednesday.
Directors Roxann Dawson and Jeremy Webb have also been added to the six-part series, which marks the first American drama to air on PBS in over a decade.
“Mercy Street” follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on opposing sides of the Civil War — New England abolitionist Mary Phinney (Winstead) and Confederate supporter Emma Green (played by newcomer Hannah James) — when the Green family’s luxury hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, has been transformed into Mansion House, a Union Army hospital tending to those wounded by the war. The series is inspired by memoirs and letters from real doctors and nurse volunteers at Mansion House Hospital.
Mary’s character is described as a feisty New Englander and widow who is a newcomer at Mansion House Hospital.
Filmed on location in Virginia, “Mercy Street” will be the first American drama to air on PBS in more than a decade. The series will join the final season of “Downton Abbey” in winter 2016 on “Masterpiece.”
Congrats, Mary!!

New Alex of Venice Reviews and New ‘The Returned’ Promo
A new promo for next week’s episode of The Returned has been put online and you can view it below. The episode will concentrate on Mary’s character Rowan. I also added screencaps of the video to the gallery.
In other news, Joblo gave Alex of Venice a really fantastic review. Here’s what they had to say:
ALEX OF VENICE is an impressive directorial debut for actor Chris Messina. Well-known for his work in movies and on The Mindy Project, Messina’s first film behind the camera is a sensitive character piece that works as another strong showcase for Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who’s quickly establishing herself as one of the preeminent actresses of the American indie movie scene.
One of the best things about Winstead is that she’s such a naturalistic performer. Many of her contemporaries go for “big” performances but she’s always been far more subtle, a fact that makes her consistently believable whatever the part. She’s perfect for Alex – who’s a go-getter but is also convincingly human, in that we see her getting flustered in court, and expressing grave doubts about her ability to juggle family and work. Winstead’s as drop-dead gorgeous as any major starlet, but she’s able to convey a certain degree of shyness, making it feasible that after splitting with her hubby that she’d be awkward trying to meet men. It’s really a nuanced performance and it seems obvious that sooner or later Winstead will be acknowledged as one of the great actresses of her generation.
The movie is currently at a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and if you want to read more reviews (so far) about the film, just click on the above link.
Be sure to pre-order the film over on iTunes if you haven’t done so already! It’ll be out this Friday!

Mary Stuns at the Alex of Venice Premiere
Mary looked totally gorgeous at the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, Alex of Venice where she was joined by her co-stars Katie Nehra, Don Johnson and Chris Messina (who also directed). Head to the gallery to check out over 150+ photos and view some videos of her below on the red carpet and giving an interview to a reporter discussing her movie and her show, The Returned.
Glamour Magazine also caught up with the cast at the premiere and Mary revealed what it was like to be directed by Messina:
“It was my first time being directed by an actor, and that’s such a luxury. He is somebody that really understands where you’re coming from and can talk to you in a way that makes sense as an actor. He just had such an open, giving, collaborative spirit, and let the camera roll and let us do whatever felt right in the moment. It was a dream scenario for an actor.”

Chris Messina Praises Mary’s Acting in Alex of Venice; New Silicon Valley Pics
Chris Messina, who directed (and co-stars) in his new film Alex of Venice, got interviewed by Backstage Magazine and gave some insight into Mary’s acting ability:
For Alex, the anchor of the film, Messina knew he needed more than the best actor for the role. “I needed a captain, a team leader. It’s a small movie; we were changing in the car and going, ‘Let’s run over here, the light’s really nice.’ Mary Elizabeth was not only fantastic every day as an actress but a real leader and friend.”
Mary goes on to confirm what a great director Messina is:
“Chris is an unbelievably giving person who goes out of his way to make everyone feel special and important, while being the most self-deprecating person alive toward himself.” She also speaks highly of his prowess as a director. “When he wants something different from an actor, he just lets the scene play out until he finds it. He never forces anything. It’s such a fun way to work.”
In other news, I have added more new photos of Mary at the Silicon Valley premiere from earlier this week which you can view in the gallery.
