Julia on 'The 60's'

"I talked to a lot of people, my parents and their friends. I watched a lot of documentaries on the '50s, because that was when my character would have been raised and that was what would have caused the rebellion. It was much more strict on what you were allowed to do and what you weren't allowed to do. My character bought into that until she went to Haight Ashbury and started coming into her own more then. My father was a great help; he grew up in that generation."
