AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire is not just a drama about computers. This season, relationships have been put at the forefront of the series, which has given the show more depth and created higher stakes.
No one knows more about these high stakes than Kerry Bishé, who plays Donna Clark, a woman at the center of nearly every conflict on the 1980s-set show. In a recent episode, she made the difficult choice to get an abortion without telling her husband she was pregnant. The Hollywood Reporter spoke to Bishé about the surprising abortion and the most heartbreaking scene the actress has ever filmed. Bishe said, “I find her to be very practical. She’s a problem solver and she mostly, with some notable exceptions, doesn’t let her emotions get in the way of what really needs to get done and that’s something that I could use a little more of in my actual life.”
