The Gray House is about the true story of how a group of women, Elizabeth Van Lew, Eliza Van Lew, Mary Jane Richards, and Clara Parish established a Union spy network during the Civil War.

The Gray House stars Mary-Louise Parker, Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, Ben Vereen, Paul Anderson, Ian Duff, Hannah James, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Colin Morgan, Rob Morrow, Colin O’Donoghue, Sam Trammell, and Keith David.

I talked to Daisy Head, who plays Elizabeth Van Lew, about if its possible for Elizabeth to find a man that will support her opinions during these times. I talked to Amethyst Davis, who play Mary Jane Richards, about how down the Van Lew are with some of the words they use to describe Black people. Both of them discuss with Elizabeth and Mary Jane decide Richmond is the best place for them to do the important work they are doing.

The Gray House is now streaming on Prime Video.
