Tony interview (x) question: Who was the best film mother, Angelina Jolie [in The Good Shepherd] or Julianne Moore [in Savage Grace]?
E.R.: Oh man, there we go! As far as the films are concerned, there’s no question Julianne’s character is the worst mother who ever existed. Barbara Baekeland was an absolute tyrant. Julie came and saw the play (Red on Broadway) the other day, and Matt Damon, who played my dad in The Good Shepherd, came with his lady wife the other night, so it’s been lovely to reconnect with them. Hmm, the best mother? Well, the reason I got cast in Savage Grace is because I have freckles and reddish tinge of hair, which was ideal for Julianne, and the reason I got cast in The Good Shepherd is because I have massive lips. So I have a lot to thank both Angie and Julie for!
The Good Shepherd (2006) - Margaret 'Clover' Russell - Angelina Jolie
Savage Grace (2007) - Barbara Baekeland - Julianne Moore
Tess of the D'Urbervilles (2008) - Mrs. Clare - Jessica Turner
