Boston Herald: Magic City interview
Check out this small interview Steven and Elle Satine did with Boston Herlad:
Steeped in sex, booze and the mafia, Miami in the late 1950s isn’t exactly meant for network TV.
That’s why Steven Strait and Elena Satine, who play seductive South Beach denizens in the hit Starz show “Magic City,” are thrilled that they’re on cable.
“To tell the story realistically, there’s just no way you can do it on network,” Strait told the Track. “It was such a violent, mature time. And it’s not something that you typically associated with the ’50s, or even early ’60s, because you’re groomed to think of that time as apple pies and the nuclear family, but that’s not Miami and it never was.”
Even though “Magic” was originally slated to premiere on CBS, its move to Starz proved to be a good one due to the racy material. It’s a thrill for the cast, who became their own kind of nuclear family on the Miami set.
“It feels like summer camp because I go away for five months with people I love,” says Satine, who got her first taste of fame as a child actor in Europe. (“I was like the ‘Hannah Montana’ of Russia!”) “I always said, ‘I want to do features ... or I want to be on cable TV.’ Because for us it’s like making eight mini-movies. You’re not limited. It’s nice for us as actors to have that luxury.”
Satine moved to America to attend the LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts in New York City. Soon, she landed in Hollywood and scored a guest-starring role on “Cold Case.”
“Which was funny, because it was about this girl who comes from Russia to go to performing arts school ... but is murdered!” Elena said.
Inspired by show creator Mitch Glazer’s formative years spent in Miami, the “Magic City” season finale airs at 10 p.m. Friday. And the cast need not worry about getting renewed: The show was picked up for a second season before the first show even premiered.
