Cosmo Online - August 1999
"Chat with Rebecca Gayheart"

Cosmo: So tell me about your new fall television show, Wasteland.
Rebecca Gayheart: Well, it's a new series written by Kevin Williamson (Scream, Dawson's Creek). Kevin is also the producer on the show. And there are three girls, three boys. It's basically about people who should be getting ready to turn 30, but who just aren't ? who are acting like they're 19 or 20. It's really fun. It's a great cast.

C: What kind of character do you play?
RG: I play this girl who grew up in North Carolina. Went to college, majored in drama, studied theater, went to New York, tried acting for two seconds, hated it.

C: So where is it set?
RG: It's set in New York City, in present time.

C: Why do they call it Wasteland?
RG: Because we're all in a wasteland. Our generation, everyone in their late 20s who is just sort of gliding through, it's the wasteland we all get stuck in.

C: You play a character older than yourself, right?
Actually no. I'm 26. I'll be 27 in August. And my character was written as 28. So it's not that far off. She's a little bit older. Which is nice for me. I have been playing characters who were years younger.

C: Excellent. So are you excited to do a series?
RG: I am. I really am. I haven't done television in a while. And it wasn't because I was poo-pooing television. I hadn't found anything that I liked enough to do it. But I'm really happy with this. I read it, and my instincts were go for it. So I'm glad it worked out. I mean, basically I'm just looking for great roles, whether they are on television or film or the stage.

C: What did you like about this part so much?
RG: I liked the whole subject matter of the show. I liked that it was older. It's a mature show. I mean, it's definitely got some humor in it, but it's a drama. And it's something that me and my friends would watch. It's something that we're all going through. I really liked that. Kevin is a wonderful person to work with. He's so talented and such a great person. That really drew me to the project as well. C: Had you met him before, or worked with him before?
RG: Yeah, I worked with him on Scream II.

C: Switching gears, are you and Brett Ratner (the director of Rush Hour) married yet?
RG: No, but we're engaged. And we've been together so long, we've earned the right to call each other husband and wife.

C: You met like nine, ten years ago?
RG: Yeah. I met him when I was 15.

C: That's crazy.
RG: So it's actually 11 years ago.

C: Wow. Where were you?
RG: I was in New York. I was a junior in high school. Or the summer before my junior year. And he had just come to New York to start his first year at NYU film school. And we met, and that was it. Started dating right away. Fell in love. Kids in love.

C: But that's so weird to survive your 20s with the same person. Do you know what I mean?
RG: Yeah.

C: You go through so many changes.
RG: I think we went through our changes together. We kind of grew at the same pace. And we're both really independent people, so we never got that co-dependent relationship stuff that most people get. Thank God we survived, because it's so nice now being in this business with someone who knows you so well. Just someone to appreciate it all with.

C: When you see friends or acquaintances who are single in Hollywood and what they go through, do you ever just go, oh, thank God, I'm done?
RG: Yes.

C: Do you ever feel like, oh wow, I might have missed something?
RG: No. I'm so happy, and I'm so fortunate that I found it really young. Although sometimes I worry that maybe we didn't...

C: Sow your oats or whatever.
RG: Yeah, yeah. But now I think we're both really happy. I think it would be very different from me being in this business and being single. You know, I like being taken and not available. It makes it very clear.

C: Would you like to have kids?
RG: I would. Ideally I'd like to have four. It will probably end up being three. I don't know. It's so hard to say. I mean, I like the idea of a lot of kids, although I haven't started yet, so who knows.

C: Yeah. When you have one, then see how you feel.
RG: Yeah, exactly. But kids are definitely a part of the future.

C: Do you think about raising them in Hollywood? Do you think about that? That seems like it would be hard.
RG: Yeah. I think it's going to be hard wherever we raise them. I kind of like the idea of the East Coast upbringing more so than West Coast upbringing, but who knows?
