Jon Cryer
“I’m at the perfect level of fame”
JON CRYER
By Eric Gladstone
Lunching with Jon Cryer in a Los Angeles café feels less like interviewing a veteran television actor than like catching up with an old high school friend. After all, Cryer, 35, is still best remembered for his breakout film role, as Molly Ringwald’s underdog suitor Ducky in the 1986 teenage touchstone Pretty In Pink. Not that, for Cryer, there’s anything
Kristin Chenoweth
“When I am so tough in my professional world, what made me put up with the abuse, drugs and alcoholism, and basically Jekyll and Hyde [behavior]?”
It’s rush hour in Los Angeles, possibly the worst time to be on the Sunset Strip, but Kristin Chenoweth isn’t bothered. She’s letting the whole thing pass by while getting her blond highlights touched up in her favorite salon, Argyle, in the trendy Sunset
Tommy Lee Jones
“I just like being around a movie camera.”
Tommy Lee Jones
By E.C. Gladstone
Tommy Lee Jones is not exactly the first Oscar-awarded actor you would expect to “go Indie.” After all, the most recent flick from this soap opera veteran (One Life To Live, 1971-75) was cheerleader comedy Man of the House, and his biggest hits of the last ten years are the ultra-commercial Men In Black(s), Space Cowboys and Batman

EG: Well… there are a lot of words used in film that are tricky, words like “smaller” film, “Indie” film or non-Hollywood story. But I think you would agree it’s not what’s called a “commercial” film, it’s not a typical thriller or love story, more reflective of life than standard Hollywood narrative. Does that make sense?
TLJ: Yeah it does, and thank you. Of course we
Anna Paquin
“I didn’t really know what an audition was. And I didn’t know what being in movies was all about. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as acting.”
Anna Paquin Interview
By E.C. Gladstone
I spent an afternoon in Venice, CA with Anna Paquin back in 2000, when the 18-year-old was truly on the cusp between girl-and woman-hood. As we sat down for a bite at an outdoor café,

Anna Paquin Interview
By E.C. Gladstone
EG: Playing roles like that, does it help your life out or does it make it more confusing?
AP: Um, I don’t know. I’ll have things to draw on for my work from experiences I’ve had or experiences friends of mine have had that I know about. I usually kind of forget about my work when I’ve finished something, and all the looping, its all done--you

By E.C. Gladstone
EG: You still interested in Law?
AP: Yep.
EG: Do you have a favorite book?
AP: Hmm. I want to read more books by Tim O’Brien. I really like the way he writes. That’s probably my favorite book of the moment, The Things They Carried. Its about Vietnam, and Tim O’Brien was a soldier in the war…somewhat fictional, somewhat fact based sort

Anna Paquin Interview
By E.C. Gladstone
EG: Do you think you are always going to act? Is it possible that something in college might take your interest elsewhere?
AP: I would have to be pretty bowled over. And love with whatever the new field was, because I am pretty in to what I’m doing, you know.
EG: What makes you laugh?
AP: Um, strangely specific, yet vague questions. People actually being interested

Anna Paquin Interview
By E.C. Gladstone
EG: Do you play?
AP: I play from time to time,. Just classical music. Bach, Vivaldi. Actually one of the strings on my cello is broken at the moment, and I really need to get it fixed, and I am feeling guilty about that. There’s a lot of singers and bands that I think…just that it’s so amazing how they produce some record

EG: What about the last dream you had?
AP: A few days after we finished school, I dreamt that I had a paper to turn in and it was one of those dreams where, I had like a dead line but for some reason I couldn’t move. I was stuck sitting in one place, and I just would look at the clock and it was
