Judith Light on Filming at a Former Prison
Speaking with PEOPLE, Light reflected on the production of 'The Terror.' She revealed that the crew shot at a facility to enhance the show's authenticity, only to later discover it was a former prison. The 77-year-old actress shared, 'It was totally the perfect place to shoot. We had all these setups that we were able to have because we had these long corridors. So it's remarkable.' However, she added, 'It was very creepy. Totally creepy. But also, we had a lot of fun.'
The scenes were filmed at the Arthur Kill Correctional Facility in Staten Island, which was decommissioned in 2011. Light plays Dorry, a mysterious woman who has been living locked up in the bare-bones facility.
