Sacha Pfeiffer is one of members of The Boston Globe
Spotlight team of journalists who worked on the reports that won
the newspaper a Pulitzer Prize. In the film, she is portrayed by
Rachel McAdams, who is in the running for an Oscar for the role.
"All along the process, I'd hear from her by phone, by text, by
email. Even on set sometimes, I'd get text messages saying 'Now,
would you have taken notes in a notebook or by typing on a
computer?'" Pfeiffer told Reuters in an interview.
"So all along the way I got an inside look at how much she cared
about the details, how much she wanted to be accurate and it was
a window to me on to how hard really good actors work."
In the film, audiences see the reporters dig up information that
would eventually have a deep impact on the Catholic Church. But
Pfeiffer said there are still many questions unanswered.
"I think the question of why they did what they did is the
hardest to answer and the one I feel we haven't answered to my
satisfaction," she said.
Along with the film's cast members, which include Mark Ruffalo,
Michael Keaton and Stanley Tucci, Pfeiffer has been attending
this season's award ceremonies.
"I think it's fascinating," she said. "As a reporter, I love
that my job often gives me access to worlds that other people
don't get access to and I feel like I've gotten access to
another fascinating world."
