Rosemarie DeWitt on Being an In-Demand Screen Sister
Depending on your attitude, Rosemarie DeWitt either has great luck or terrible luck with on-screen sisters. She recently starred as Rachel opposite Anne Hathaway's Kym in Rachel Getting Married, and now she's the foil to Toni Collette's Tara in United States of Tara, which just premiered to strong ratings. At TCA, I chatted with DeWitt about her film families, how she got the Tara gig, and how much Rachel was like a real wedding.
Five Essential Things to Know About United States of Tara
United States of Tara is one of the most unusual shows to hit TV in a while — even for Showtime, home of drug-dealing moms and sympathetic serial killers. First imagined by Steven Spielberg, created by Diablo Cody, and brought to life by a cast led by Toni Collette and John Corbett, the show centers on a suburban housewife named Tara who is living with Dissociative Identity Disorder, which causes alternate personalities to emerge when she's under stress. The show premieres on Sunday, and today, the cast and producers stopped by TCA.
Rachel Getting Married: Riveting and Painful Realism
I normally cry at weddings (and wedding scenes), so spending a whole wedding weekend with Rachel and her family in Rachel Getting Married was quite the teary experience. It’s not all weeping and sighing (though there's a lot of that, in both the joyful and the heart-wrenching scenes) — there is also silliness and humor. It's a movie about forgiveness, heartache and the tenderness of human frailty.
Movie Preview: Rachel Getting Married
Yes, that is Anne Hathaway with a choppy little haircut standing next to Rosemarie DeWitt, who played one of my favorite characters on Mad Men, Don's mistress Midge. The two women play sisters in Rachel Getting Married, a family drama focusing on Hathaway's character, Kym returning home for her sister Rachel's (DeWitt) wedding.
I like Hathaway a lot and I love watching DeWitt, but I kinda think this indie movie looks like a long string of hysterical conversations.
