    The way Holly Hunter keeps pointing the conversation back to Jessica with what is clearly genuine interest makes me like her even more. And the way she doesn't worry about pausing and finding the right words? What a cool woman. Both of them generous and intelligent and awesome.

    Two of my favorite actresses. I met Jessica Chastain a few years ago and she talked with me for a good half hour about acting and asking where and what I was studying. Before she left, she said hope to work with you one day. Class act. Love these ladies!

    I went to see the movie The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby the night it opened. I missed the Q and A screening beforehand, but after the movie I headed to the bathroom and there on the bench was, James McAvoy. I introduced myself, and he could not have been more genuinely interested in the fact that I was an actor. He talked to me about method acting for awhile, and then in came Jessica Chastain, one of my biggest inspirations. She talked with me too for awhile, and was so incredibly kind and then proceeded to tell me, "I hope we work together one day."

    I will agree that Holly is highly intelligent and a passionate communicator, but her analysis of a character she experienced through both Jessica's performance and the editorial decisions of the film makers has little to do with Jessica's analysis of a character she experienced from a script. In the simplest case, Jessica is privy to all the scenes that were cut and/or iterated upon which will implicitly deviate her perception of the character from any viewer's. There is no need to create a hierarchy between subjective truths. They are both amazing.

    David Adams So you're telling that she knows more about the character just from watching a movie than Jessica, who spent months studying the script, working with the guy who wrote the script and analyzing/interviewing the actual person that she's playing? The word that describe your state is 'delusional'. She's past her prime (if she ever was in her prime), wrinkly and a so-so actress. Nothing special really, so I guess her fans have to do what they can to make her seem special and one of a kind.

I hope one day I can tell her that and I know that she is a person that would sit with me for a minute or two just to listen to what I have to say to her. Of course I would take the chance to also tell her how gorgeous and amazing she is 😍

We need more relationships, between men & women, in all industries.

    Actors love when films are politically preachy. Most fans hate it. But there are some tricks to learn. For instance, Matt Damon and George Clooney clearly make a movie to fill the coffers, then make a movie to tell half the country how much they despise them, then another film to put some more money in the bank, then another one to tell you how stupid you are if you believe there are only 2 genders. They alternate between getting paid (Capitalism) and ramming the leftist agenda down your throat (Socialism). it's both genius and disingenuous.
