Cold Case star gets a life this season

With Cold Case starting its fourth season Sunday, Kathryn Morris, who stars as detective Lilly Rush, talked about what's ahead for her character -- a woman whose job, and mission, is resolving mysteries from crimes past.
Q. Last season, Lilly let down her hair, literally. How will she change this year?
A. We'll see her open her heart this time. She has spent so much time trying to fend off personal relationships and push everything out, nothing meant very much to her. Now she's trying to get a life, a more fulfilling way of living. She's fun to play because she has a lot of stuff, a lot of issues going on. Just when you think you've figured out everything she is, she'll take another step.
Q. Lilly is so intense; does she ever do anything for fun?
A. She doesn't really know how to have fun. She may just go out for drinks at the tavern. Making breakfast is like a vacation to her. Turning the ringer off the phone would be considered fun for her. That's what she's learning this year, to have a little space. I, on the other hand, have no problem turning it off. I get together with my goofy friends and my nephews and just live my life. I'll go to stupid, silly movies and try things you haven't tried before. I am a much lighter person. The only thing in common with me and Lilly is that we both really like to work.
Q. Talk a little about how the music, mostly vintage rock, is such a part of the show's feel.
A. You have a great opportunity to transport the audience, where there is nothing like a song that really gets to you. When I listen to a song on the radio now, I think, "I could write a whole Cold Case based on this song." The music depends on the year of the case. Sometimes a song will be too distracting to the dialogue. Sometimes the rights don't clear. You wouldn't think band drama would affect this show, but maybe there's a single band member who won't agree to release . When Jerry [Bruckheimer, the show's executive producer] first told me about the music, one of my concerns was that we'd never get it. Everyone always thinks they'll get the Beatles, but for your half-million- dollar indie film, you're just not going to get Hey Jude. But Jerry said, "We're paying for the music and we're not doing it without the music." He also said, "We're shooting in 16 millimeter and using video cameras from 1982."
Q. What's the average turnaround time for one episode?
A. Eight days, with the flashbacks and the new period music every week. When we shoot on location in Philadelphia, we do "guerrilla weekends," finishing scenes from five or six episodes. Philly opens up the city for us, and it's great. I went to Temple University, so I know the city. People from the neighborhood bring us pirogies, and food from Little Italy. Philly has so much culture and history. It's perfect for this show.
