Icicles wouldn't melt in her mouth

Article Abstract:

The actor's job is to portray humanity, not to be removed from it, according to actress Julia Ormond. For this reason, she is uncomfortable with being portrayed as a star. She has only ever agreed to roles because she finds them challenging, but believes that exposure in films with large budgets has been vital to her career progression. She has appeared most recently in the film version of Peter Hoeg's 1992 novel 'Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow.' In this role, she had to combine the action of a thriller with the lyricism of the novel.

Mother courage

Article Abstract:

Quiet roles can be extremely challenging, according to actress Gena Rowlands, who appears as a widow whose children have left home in 'Unhook the Stars,' her most recent film. When a character is reserved and undemonstrative, it is only possible to project emotions in a quiet way. This film, which was directed by her son Nick Cassavetes, offers much less catharsis than those directed by her late husband, John Cassavetes, but is well written and extremely well acted.
