Playing a central role in Robert Altman's last movie, as the Angel Of Death visiting the set of A Prairie Home Companion on the evening of their last broadcast before being shut down, actress Virginia Madsen gives an interview to Beliefnet on what her experiences were on the shoot, and her own belief about angels. Interesting to note that it was Altman's specific vision of the angel to walk and talk almost glacially, in a calm tone, a certain nod, in my opinion, that when it's time to go, death is nothing to be afraid of. She certainly provided that in her characterization in the movie, and I particularly liked her comforting the soon to be deceased Chuck Akers (LQ Jones) before his memorable and touching song in the movie.
