![]() ![]() I think we have worked together seven times and I love working with Danny. That is what I have based my choices on for the past 30 years.ĭo you have any plans in the future to work with your husband again? I read a script and when I finish it, I know if I want to do that or I don’t. I follow what I call my internal compass. There lies the challenge, to separate myself and my personality to be somebody else. I love the feeling of newness of a scenario or a person that is not me. I love the incredible team effort it takes to tell these stories. I’m just super amused by all of it and I love the camaraderie. It’s a funny, nutty business and the hours are so long that it’s hard to not live in a trailer. J.U.L.I.A. AMONG THE STARS STONE PUZZLE TVWhat is it that makes you want to keep testing yourself in such a variety of film and TV projects? Once that first piece of the puzzle reveals itself to me, then the rest starts to fall into place. For me, there is always one piece of the puzzle that reveals itself to me early on––like the character’s hair or something like that. How do you approach going from playing someone like Martha Mitchell to a romantic comedy role? And if it’s half as fun to watch as it was for George and I to make, then it should be awfully entertaining. The world has been through such a dark time, so Ticket to Paradise is our attempt to just bring a little sunshine into popular culture and to make people laugh and smile again.

We also get to see you returning to romantic comedy later this year in Ticket to Paradise. I just feel so lucky that the stars aligned to bring us together for something with such great characters, a great story and in this great time period. J.U.L.I.A. AMONG THE STARS STONE PUZZLE HOW TOWe sat at the kitchen table and read just these John and Martha scenes, their entire love story, and it was just a joy to figure out how to portray this beautiful, tender and fun relationship that then turned very sour.īut this is the very first time you and Sean have worked together. Sean came over to my house with (director) Matt Ross to read through all of the scenes. ![]() Sean and I have been good friends for a long, long time and we were able to bring that to this. How did you find the chemistry with Sean Penn as John to your Martha? ![]() It’s loose in my mouth while Sean is trying to kiss me. He knocks me off of the couch and he jumps on top of me and I was laughing so hard that this thing popped out. I remember one time Sean and I had a scene where we are supposed to be kissing. It was nothing compared to Sean’s herculean prosthetics but I had this piece that I wore on top of my teeth to kind of change the shape of my mouth a little bit. What did it take for you to transform into Martha Mitchell physically? There are all of these paradoxes about her that were fun to get to play with and then of course there is the fact of how devoted she was to her husband and her family. I had heard of her, but I didn’t know much about her as the big, outspoken and the hugely opinionated person she was, and also that she was very shy and didn’t like public speaking.
