Hi all,
I know this is a Broadway site. But I have to tell you something that I found very interesting. (About a Broadway actress)
I (as have most of you I'm sure seen so many t.v. interviews with Sarah Jessica Parker these past few weeks promoting her husband Mathew's movie of the Producers as well as hers) went to see "The Family Stone" tonight.
What I can say is that it started off slow and then picked up to be a fairly enjoyable movie (although the theme was certainly not new- a lot of us have lived through it IN REAL LIFE)
What bothers me is an interview she did this morning on CBS' Early Morning show where she said it was a tough decision to end "Sex and the City" because she started to feel too "comfortable" in SATC and that a movie role like this(you know she already had the script while in SATC) would change that. My assumption(and that is all it is) is that she was paid a He-- of a lot of money to do this role. She put three actresses and countlesss crew and cast members out of work to do this.
While I certainly don't agree with Kim Catrall's decision not to do a SATC movie because Sarah(let's face it -was the boss), I think that the message of what Sarah wanted to do could have been made clearer.
Now, I love SJP in many of her roles, but if it turns out that the way she described it this morning was that she was ending the SATC run because she was "too comfortable" in it and wanted to make the movie at the risk of other people's lives/careers, I have to think twice about where her head was at.
Originally I was pissed at Kim Cattrall because she has been the hold out for a variety or reasons (sorry Kim, but your naked 45+ body is not an award winner or a draw, but neiither is mine!), but now I really am wondering what SJP's intentions really were.
I admit, I could be totally off the mark here. I do enjoy SJP immensely, but I would never put my employees out of work because of something I wanted to do to further my career. Hey-- (everyone is replaceable) I happen to know that for a fact. And I don't have a damn chin mole!( I had it removed 17 years ago!)
(on a recent SJP interview with ELLEN, even ELLEN volunteered to fill in in case "one" of the cast didn't want to do the movie of SATC.
Sorry folks for the rant. Just had to vent. Forgive me Please.
