Erin Cummings: From Shakespeare To Playboy
I studied Shakespeare at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and my very first Shakespearean role was Lady Macbeth. It was my first professional role. Like I got my equity card and I went, “Are you sure you don’t want me to play like one of the witches or a nurse or something?” They were like, “No, you’re Lady Macbeth.” I was like, “Oh f*ck.”
I have to acknowledge and I would be foolish not to acknowledge the image that people see when I walk in the room. I’m not a character actress. I’m just not. One of these days I’ll be somebody’s grandma, but right now I am a youngish, attractive woman, and of the roles that I play have a certain level of sexuality. I am very happy about the fact that all of the roles that I play, even though they’re very sexy, they always have a certain level of intelligence,
Playboy had offered me a pictorial and I turned it down, but I said I would love to be in your magazine. I think they have great circulation obviously and it’s not every day that Playboy let’s you be in their magazine with your clothes on. So I said I would gladly take that, thank you. I understand what my product is and right now my product looks pretty good.
