Interview with Marcia, notes on upcoming films
Posted: 2006-06-26 |
Synthesis.net has an interview with Marcia on "American Gun" including
some insightful quotes on her upcoming work. Click here
to read the whole article. Many thanks to Erin for the heads-up.
Are you open to more roles in small indie films like American Gun?
Well I’ve always done them. I’m even doing an indie film now called Dead Girl. In indie films, you get a chance to explore characters in a different way because for some reason the studios are very formulaic and the women characters are of a certain brand. They are not always so challenging. Good roles are few and far between.
What else do you have coming out?
I have a film coming out called The Hoax, with Richard Gere, directed by Lasse Hallström. It was so much fun to do. I was blonde with a foreign accent, oh my god the attention I got. There is also a Disney film called The Invisible.

Bates, Fonda, Harden to read "Necessary Targets"
Posted: 2006-06-06 |
Kathy Bates, Jane Fonda, Marcia Gay Harden, Shiva Rose, Marian Seldes and Kerry Washington will be among the stars in an upcoming benefit reading of Eve Ensler's Necessary Targets in New York City.
Original director Michael Wilson (Enchanted April) will stage the reading of the play June 12 at Studio 54. The event will benefit V-Day, the Ensler-founded global movement to end violence against women and girls.
Necessary Targets "tells the story of two American women, a Park Avenue psychiatrist and a human rights worker, who go to Bosnia to help women confront their memories of war and emerge deeply changed themselves." The work made its world premiere at Hartford Stage in 2001 (where Wilson is artistic director) and transferred Off-Broadway in 2002.
The reading will be part of Until the Violence Stops: NYC, a two-week festival in New York examining the issue of violence against women.
For more information on the festival, visit www.vday.org.
