Dale Dickey

The scene-stealing supporting actress Dale Dickey finally lands in the limelight as the leading lady in A Love Song. Dickey and co-star Wes Studi play characters who experience the uncertainties of love in later life in writer-director Max Walker-Silverman’s first feature, one of this year’s most thought-provoking, evocative and quietly sublime movies. Here, Dickey talks about the burden of carrying the film as it’s lead, about the pressures and pleasures of acting during the height of the pandemic — and she delves into what her character, Faye, means to her.
