That same day, Cate was spotted heading out of Good Morning America after promoting Truth and opening up about playing famed comedian and actress Lucille Ball.

“It’s early days but Aaron Sorkin and I are talking about [it],” Cate said during her interview. “We don’t know what form it’s going to be in but there’s a lot of material there. She was one of my all-time great heroes, she was an extraordinary woman.”
