'Saving Grace': Touched by an angel
We’ll next be conducting a Q&A with “Saving Grace” creator Nancy Miller, so get your questions in soon.
Holly Hunter receives some smart heavenly advice in “Saving Grace,” the TNT drama series that returns for its third season June 16. Hunter plays Grace Hanadarko, an Oklahoma City police detective who partied hard and saw her life spinning out of control before angel Leon Rippy (known to many from his stint behind the bar on “Deadwood”) persuaded her to get her act together. TNT is finding sizeable audiences for their original series — “The Closer,” “Raising the Bar,” “Leverage” — and “Saving Grace” taps into the zeitgeist of eccentric women characters on cable who don’t necessarily get things done in traditional ways, but always with panache and on their own terms.
Here are the guidelines:
1) Hit the comment button below and ask your question by May 27.
2) Please keep the questions about the creative process, Nancy's background and influences or the characters and don't ask questions about future plotlines, which would never be revealed anyway.
3) You may ask more than one question but we are looking for quality, not quantity. Asking more will not guarantee that you’ll get an answer. In the spirit of fairness, we try to give plenty of folks a chance. I'll choose the best questions to send to Nancy and from those, she'll choose the 10-15 that she wants to answer.
4) Read through the other comments to make sure you’re not repeating something that’s already been asked.
5) Be clever and have fun.
6) The person who asks the question Nancy likes best will receive a signed season 1 DVD.
Please note: Only 50 comments show up at a time but I will see all the responses. Don’t worry if yours disappears. It doesn’t mean I deleted it.

I like the portrayal of the friendship between Grace Hanadarko and her friend as played by Laura San Giacomo. How do you think this adds to the dynamic of the show?

Question: How did you research or derive this character?

Is the show in other countries yet?

Are there any spin-offs? The characters are all very rich!

First, I loved that you showed the terror of a character facing their own state sanctioned murder. My question is; What kind of double standards have you encountered with standards and practices.

I love how Grace's smoking, boozing, & all around sexiness stands out against her historical background -- the OK bombing, child molestation, rape -- all that rage & pain -- how does she manage to stay so funny & empathic?
Thank you for many hours of great TV.

You have been creatively involved with TV series with female lead characters, such as "Saving Grace" and male leading characters. Is there a difference in the presentation, writing or other aspects of the creative process in the two types of shows?

Holly Hunter's character smokes, drinks and sleeps around...all to excess and is very tough on her family sometimes. What do you think keeps her character likable?
