charlie has ZERO talent as an interviewer. he's arrogant, his questions are insipid and he proves incapable of letting an interviewee finish their thought/get into a rhythm. ugghhh it's almost painful to watch these interviews because i'm always waiting for the unwelcome sound of charlie butting in. that being said, i love jessica

Ms Chastine has built into her personality whatever mechanism or process it takes to internalize and become the character she is presenting. That is why she is so seamlessly believable as she just does not do acting but she transforms herself into being the character or as Ms Chastine said, "She gives herself over to the character." Here you have the consumate professional who is already the master of her craft and was thus when she auditioned Julliard. Thus the comment by the auditioneer, "Are you having fun Jessica?" at stretching yourself out.

I too, saw some of this interview on the TV the other day, and was immediately impressed with this young lady's beauty and charisma. Having noticed her name being a little bit familiar, but not knowing her, I was hoping she was the young lady I saw in the movie I recently watched on cable TV called, 'Junebug'.
The redhead in that movie was absolutely captivating (even pregnant), what a sweet old fashioned southern lady she was (North Carolina), her husband was an, Ass, in need of a swift ass-kicking. But it turns out, she wasn't this redhead, but a different one named, 'Amy Adams'. I swear these two could be sisters.
Well, ho hum, aren't you glad you know that.

Robin Williams studied acting briefly at Julliard under John Houseman.
Houseman told him he was wasting his talent at Juilliard and he should strike out on his own and do stand-up comedy.
Nonetheless, Robin Williams funded a scholarship at Juilliard.
Jessica got the scholarship and graduated in 2003.
Where else are you told to leave and then you fund a scholarship at that same place?
Where else does such a scholarship produce such a great result?
By the way, when Robin Williams auditioned for the role of Mork from Ork on "Happy Days" (1974), producer Garry Marshall who told him to sit down. Williams immediately sat on his head on the chair. Marshall hired him, saying that he was the only alien who auditioned.
Sounds just like Jessica.

She told us her very first movie has not been released yet.
This review says she is great in that movie but Al is over the top:

Such is the big star who loses to his own ego but then again he did move Jessica to the next level.

Charlie - Long time viewer. Just watched last evenings interview with Jessica Chastain. This was one of your best in recent times; a witty, intelligent and very enchanting guest. Well done.

Wow! I can't recall the last time I was so impressed with anyone. Intense, intellegent, and exuding a sense of integrity seldom encountered among the Hollywood set, or anywhere else for that matter. Wisely Charlie set the stage and then got out of the way...a stunning interview with a fascinating soul...one can only hope she manages to survive what's coming.

I'm sorry, this stuff is laughable, like those half-lit criminal investigation units on TV, where the obvious is gravely intoned so elementary school level viewers don't miss anything. And then there's the obvious attempt to sell this to women. Novels, you know, were, and still mostly are, women's work, and if not by them, by moralists and preachers offering the same advice, melodrama, precisely the same; and the narrative form pointing up the difference with men's writing; while the emergence of analysis in historical writing suggesting further its primitive nature. So it's rather funny to see these displays as somehow manly. They're childish, they really are, unless they're just to make money, and that's pretty childish, too. Frightening actually to consider them mirroring reality.

What a stunning, captivating woman.
I was thinking, Charlie, are you crazy to give her fifty-two minutes and fifty-two seconds but I could never turn the channel.
Her words are as powerful as her hair and her face: C-H-A-R-I-S-M-A.
We must protect her from her industry.
Perhaps call Robert Redford to see if he can provide sanctuary in his Utah mountain liar?
