...admits that the sheer symbolic power of the role is perhaps greater than she anticipated. "I tried not to come into this with too many expectations one way or the other," she says on a sunny May afternoon in her East Wing office. "I felt like part of my job - and I still feel like that - is to be open to where this needs to go." She's always shown a shrewd eye for the strategic detour, suspending her career in favor of helping her husband get elected, then getting her daughters settled and her garden planted...

Almost all the set pieces are conversations, or interrogations, usually involving Landa: with the French farmer (Denis Menochet), Shoshanna, Von Hammersmark and Raine.

Q-ball was able to outdo the other recent events in The Estate by opening up the top floor so attendees could overlook the dance floor while grinding with a little less sweat and a little more privacy than on the lower floor. Even the VIP lounge was open, where FlyBy went to rest our feet from all the dancing...
