I think I was just sort of stunned, you know what I mean?
Russell says of finishing her final scene.
I kind of get quiet in those moments.

I dont give a great rousing speech or anything like that.
Thats not my speed.
I tend to go internal.
Then again, no one really had the energy to stick around for a speech or a proper goodbye.
The night the cast filmed their last scene happened to be another frigid shoot in New York.
It was about 5 a.m., and it was starting to get light, Rhys recalls.
There was also a storm, so everyone was incredibly cold, incredibly keen to get home.

Still, Russell adds, its notreallyover yet.
I think in the fall, Ill kind of go, Oh no!
Theres no more slinky lady with long hair and high-heeled boots and beautiful cat eyeliner!'
And, at least, no more freezing night shoots.
