Jena Malone<\/a> and Eva Amurri, to White Russian cocktails.<\/p>\nSpeaking to Evan Ross Katz on his Netflix show Shut Up, Evan, Mandy said: \u201cI do remember a little bit of underage drinking. As it happened, I was like, \u2018Look, I didn\u2019t go to high school.\u2019 I was 18.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it was Mac, Macaulay, that introduced me and all of us to a White Russian. I was like, \u2018Milk and alcohol? This is made for me, I love this! This is like ice cream, this is fantastic!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
But Mandy insisted the teenage cast weren’t out to cause too much trouble and she had a great time making the film.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI distinctly remember the sweet, innocent \u2014 like, we would take giant marshmallows and throw them at people off the balcony.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe were kids! We weren\u2019t really getting up to no good.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt was a crazy, crazy life-changing experience.”<\/p>\n
\nIn Saved!, the This Is Us actress played Hilary, the self-righteous best friend of main character Mary (Malone), who had sex with her ex-boyfriend Dean (Chad Faust) to “save” him from being gay, only to get pregnant. Macaulay, now 45, played Mandy’s disabled older brother Roland.<\/p>\n
\nAnd Mandy took on the role because she felt it would help open the door to a wider variety of roles.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI just loved the script and the character, and I thought it was really irreverent and funny, and also like gonna move the needle. But it also felt so wholly different than who I am that I was like, \u2018Oh this is a stretch, and this is unlike anything I\u2019ve done before. So hopefully, very intentionally, this\u2019ll open up a door to other projects,\u2019 like people regarding me in a different light.”<\/p>\n
\nThis isn’t the first time Mandy has spoken of how much she enjoyed the “summer camp” experience of working on Saved!.<\/p>\n
\nShe told People magazine: \u201cI\u2019m bombarded with memories of set. We all were staying at the same hotel together while we were shooting, and I just remember all the time we would spend with each other in one another\u2019s rooms. Like, \u2018Okay, we\u2019re all going to Jena\u2019s room today.\u2019 Or, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re all going to Eva\u2019s room today, or Mac\u2019s room,\u2019 and we made dinners or we ordered food and we just hung out.<\/p>\n
\n“It was like we were all 17, 18 years old, maybe some of us were a little bit older, but it was such a fun summer camp experience. And we knew that it was a really weird, special, little tiny thing. It wasn\u2019t lost on us what we were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
