*Janet noise*
D’Arcy Carden finally found her calling on “The Good Place.” By Jessica M. Goldstein April 26 at 8:00 AM LOS ANGELES — What is Janet?
While waiting to hear about “The Good Place,” Carden auditioned for a spot on another upcoming show, a dark HBO comedy called “Barry.” She read for Natalie, a sycophantic acting student whose desperation was not entirely unfamiliar to her. “Barry’s” star and co-creator was “Saturday Night Live” alum Bill Hader, with whom Carden was so close — she’d nannied for his kids for years — that she almost took herself out of the running.
She’s recounting her early days while moseying around the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, and turns out she’s a pretty perfect companion. There’s the extremely famous photo of Johnny Cash giving the camera the finger at San Quentin Prison, which happened to be taken by one of her dad’s best friends, Jim Marshall. “Jim has taken a bunch of iconic pictures, but I think in this one, Jim was just being annoying to Johnny, and he just flipped him off,” Carden says.
She lived in unlivable apartments — an illegal sublet crammed with the real tenants’ belongings; an attic room with no insulation. To afford such swanky accommodations, Carden nannied, which she loved, and temped, which she did not love. One day she’d “be a receptionist with a bunch of Wall Street dudes being terrible,” the next she’d go to some “soul-sucking” office wearing a god-awful pantsuit from Burlington Coat Factory. She did time as a guide on a New York City tour bus.
Then her friends Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer had their Web series “Broad City” picked up by Comedy Central. Carden thinks of those two as her “little guardian angels”: After casting Carden in a part that was cut from the pilot, they recast her as Gemma, a trainer at Abbi’s gym. “Even though I wasn’t in the show very much,” Carden says, “it changed my career.”
“I remember we were in L.A. as a family and she was staying with us watching our kids,” Hader said. “I had this audition and she was like, ‘I can read with you if you want.’ . . . And she was so good! She was really good. I remember being like, ‘D’Arcy is a good actress! Why are you nannying for us?’ I just remember thinking, God, she’s so good. She just needs a break.”
“I have this wonderful feeling of, this is a person who deserves her success,” Schur said of Carden. “A thing that can make you crazy in Hollywood is there are millions of people out here who seem to get things they don’t deserve. That’s not even Hollywood; that’s America. But she’s just such a good human being. And it makes me so happy that she gets to do this thing she loves, because not for one second do you feel like she doesn’t deserve it.
