When Olivia Colman needs to demonstrate Queen Elizabeth II’s authority on “The Crown,” there’s a lot of pomp and circumstance that producers can turn to, not to mention having her wear the titular headgear. But most female characters in contemporary drama series don’t have a crown handy when they need to project power in business or politics on screen. Just as in real life for women in the workplace, female actors often wrestle with the question of how to show — rather than tell — that their fictional alter egos have the ability to flex serious muscle when the situation calls for it.
Christine Baranski, star of CBS All Access’ “The Good Fight,” has been honing the power dynamic projected by fierce attorney Diane Lockhart for 11 years, starting on “The Good Wife” back in 2009. Lockhart is known for looking as if she has always stepped out of a Vogue photo shoot for legal partners.
