Betty Gilpin, DeWanda Wise, Shailene Woodley, and Gabrielle Creevy preview the highly anticipated adaptation.
She imagines their greatest fears and wildest dreams.
So how did she find Lina?

I remember writing Lisa and saying, Over-caffeinated deer with cum in her mouth?
And she was like, Yes.
And when she was strong enough to come forward, she wasnt believed.

You see her grow and you see her gain her power back, Creevy says.
I felt really powerful doing it.
She knows whats right and she didnt stop.

Thats whats so amazing about her.
I didn’t want to play sad mom.
She’s so much more than that," Gilpin says.

“I really wanted to lean into her hope and childlike love of romance.
So much of her is frozen at 16 in a heartbreaking way, but also in a wonderful way.
Then theres Sloane, the absurdly beautiful, incredibly confident, happily married bisexual woman.
With her husband Richard (Blair Underwood), theyre the shows only representation of a happy marriage.
He adores this woman.
The camera doesnt turn away from the sexy moments … or the tough ones.
So much of it is about the majestic of the mundane, DeWanda Wise says.
You’re dropped into these women’s very real lives.
Anytime you see a woman on a toilet, we’re going to be telling the truth.
You know what I mean?
The minute I met Lisa, I was like, Where have you been my whole life?
Things would’ve been so much easier if I had met you sooner, Woodley recalls.
I relate a lot to the person that Gia is and the life that Gia has lived.
Is life a safe place to exist in?
The show has a similar goal.
Three Womenpremieres Friday, Sept. 13, on Starz.
