When Mary Badham talks about “To Kill a Mockingbird,” people listen. The Alabama native, 71, has a unique perspective on Harper Lee’s famous novel and the impact it’s had on the world. Badham, who grew up in Birmingham, was cast in a pivotal role in the 1962 movie version of “Mockingbird,” earning an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Scout Finch. Badham has a new chapter in her personal journey with “Mockingbird,” appearing in a national touring production of the hit Broadway play, which was adapted from Lee’s novel by Aaron Sorkin. This time, Badham takes on the role of Mrs. DuBose, a mean-spirited neighbor who tangles with Scout and her family, providing a crucial learning moment for the girl. The tour comes to Birmingham on Nov. 14-19 for eight performances at the BJCC Concert Hall. In this Q&A, Badham talks about her new role and what it means to her to perform in Alabama. |
