Pandemic sees ‘true sisterhood’ emerge, says Rosanna Arquette
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — US actress and #MeToo campaigner Rosanna Arquette finds it “extraordinary” that many people are “coming together and helping others” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Everybody making masks, sending them to people, we’re seeing community come together, our communities coming together, in a true brother and sisterhood,” Arquette told AFP from her Los Angeles home, as she shared her thoughts on the impact of the worldwide health crisis.
“I don’t think this is ever going to be over. The world is never going to be the same after this. America will never be the same after this. We’re not going back to the old ways,” she added.
As for the pandemic’s effect on the entertainment industry, the “Desperately Seeking Susan” and “Pulp Fiction” star thinks streaming will be “the new way.”
“As we had streaming for music, it’s happening with movies and television. I know the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences just changed it so films that premiere on streaming ... will be eligible to be voted for Oscars. That’s starting to happen slowly but surely,” she said.
