And there’s a lot of footage of Halston, too. And then, of course, I worked with Dan on that, and I worked with Jeriana, the costume designer, on his look and his clothes, and that’s all informative. And I just tried to get a sense of who he was. I spoke to his friends that were surviving, although there’s not many left really. MCGREGOR: I watched a lot of interviews of him. But it was a tall order to do that.ĭEADLINE: How did you find the character to the point that you could embody Halston so comfortably on screen? So, it was very difficult to shoot, and the Covid people at the Netflix production were incredible and kept us all safe. And he was able to, especially during Covid, make a ’60s and ’70s New York come alive, against the odds, really, because we were shooting January to March in New York City, and then we were closed down, and then we came back later in September to December with the height of Covid there in New York City. And I really loved working with Dan Minahan on the series.
