Apple TV+ introduced audiences to Palm Royale earlier this year, featuring a strong ensemble of empowering female characters, including Leslie Bibb as Dinah Donahue.
Initially portrayed as Maxine’s (Kristen Wiig) reluctant friend, Dinah’s demeanor changes over time as she forms an unlikely friendship with the newcomer after helping her access a challenging abortion in the 1969-set comedy.
When discussing the role, Bibb emphasized the vulnerability beneath Dinah’s tough exterior, highlighting the character’s realism and depth. Despite her seemingly harsh exterior, Dinah’s choices and behavior are influenced by the social constraints of her time, particularly as a woman dealing with challenges in the 1960s.

Bibb’s portrayal delves into the complexities of Dinah’s relationships, particularly with Maxine, and acknowledges the nuanced dynamics of the female characters in the show, played by talented actors like Carol Burnett, Laura Dern, and Allison Janney.
Reflecting on the show’s future in Season 2, Bibb expressed excitement for the continued exploration of Dinah’s character and the evolving social landscape of the 1970s. As Dinah navigates the challenges and complexities of her life, Bibb hopes for continued depth and complexity in the storytelling, promising more compelling narratives and character developments.
