Debra Messing: "I Didn't Want to be a *** Hag on 'Will & Grace'"
5/23/13
Debra Messing almost missed out on being the latter half of "Will & Grace".
In the June 2013 issue of More magazine, Messing said she rejected the role on hit NBC comedy more than once. "I didn't want to be, for lack of a better word, a *** hag," she said. "And I didn’t want to be just the pretty, straight girl in the corner while the guys did all the funny stuff."
Messing told More, on newsstands Tuesday, May 28, she was worried about the gay characters becoming buffoonish. To quell her fears, "Will & Grace" co-creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick took a bottle of vodka and a lime over to her house to discuss the role.
"So I took the leap and said, 'Let’s do it,'" she told More, "and it ended up the greatest thing to be a part of, a gift."
