NOMINEE.
AND I PULLED OUT MY PHONE AND SECRETLY VIDEOTAPED HIM.E AND
SECRETLY VIDEOTAPED HIM. >> YOU KNOW, IN L.A., THERE ARE
A FEW ROLES, BUT THIS ONE IN
PARTICULAR FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND, THIS WAS ONE THAT A
LOT OF BIG-TIME A-LISTERS WANTED
THIS ROLE.
I READ WHAT AARON SORKIN SAID ABOUT YOU.T AARON SORKIN SAID
ABOUT YOU.
HE SAID, LISTEN, A NUMBER OF
GREAT WOMEN WOULD HAVE DONE
GREAT PLAYING THE ROLE OF MOLLY
BUT I WANTED JESSICA CHASTAIN. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HE SAID
THAT STRUCK ME, AND ILL
PARAPHRASE.
PARAPHRASE.
IT WAS SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF JESSICA IS STRONG WITHOUTCT
OF JESSICA IS STRONG WITHOUT ACTING TOUGH.
ACTING TOUGH.
AND THIS ROLE NEEDED THAT. >> OH, THATS INTERESTING..
>> OH, THATS INTERESTING. I DIDNT KNOW THAT.
THATS A NICE COMPLIMENT.
ITS -- I HAVE A FEELING LIKE
ALL WOMEN ARE STRONG AND IN OUR
FILMS AND MEDIA, WE DONT SHOW
THAT PART OF WOMEN.
THIS WAS A CHARACTER WHEN I READ
IT ON THE PAGE I WAS SO BLOWN
AWAY BY, YES, THAT SHE IS
STRONG, SHE IS INTELLIGENT, BUT
SHES ALSO -- SHE HAS
VULNERABILITY AND FRAGILITY.
BECAUSE ITS AARON SORKIN,
THERES SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN
THIS FILM AND THAT WAS REALLY
INSPIRING TO ME.
>> IMPORTANT TO YOU, IM SURE. >> YEAH.TANT TO YOU, IM SURE.
>> YEAH.
>> LETS GO BACK TO 1998 BECAUSE YOU IN YOUR OWN LIFE WERE MAKING
YOUR YOUR PROFESSIONAL STAGE
DEBUT IN SHAKESPEARES JULIET.
HOW DID THIS GO FROM THE HIGH
RANKS OF SKIING INTO THIS WORLD
OF UNDERGROUND POKER?
>> SHE WAS RANKED THIRD IN
WOMENS MOGULS AND SHE HAD A
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT THAT DERAILED
HER PLANS.
HER PLANS.
SHE HAD HER LIFE PLANNED OUT FOR HER.HAD HER LIFE PLANNED OUT FOR
HER.
SHE WAS HEADING TO LAW SCHOOL, SHE WAS GOING TO GO TO THEOOL,
SHE WAS GOING TO GO TO THE OLYMPICS, AND THEN FATE
INTERVENED.
INTERVENED.
SHE FOUND HERSELF IN LOS ANGELES AND SHE BECAME AN ASSISTANT FORS
AND SHE BECAME AN ASSISTANT FOR SOMEONE WHO ASKED HER TO HELP
OUT WITH THE GAMES.
IT JUST -- SHE GOT THE IDEA, YOU
KNOW WHAT, THIS IS A BUSINESS
THAT I CAN SCALE UP.
AND THATS WHAT PUT IT ALL INTO
HER MIND.
HER MIND.
>> SHE SCALED IT UP IN L.A. AND
BROUGHT IT HERE TO NEW YORK TO THE HIGH LIST AND THE MOB ISTO
THE HIGH LIST AND THE MOB IS INVOLVED.
INVOLVED.
HOW DID THIS STORY GO FROM HER
IN REAL LIFE, IM SURE YOU SPENT
TIME WITH HER, NOT GOING INTO
PRISON BUT HERE A BIG MOVIE
PREMIERE.
>> UNBEKNOWNST TO HER WHEN SHE WENT TO L.A., SHE LET IN MEMBERS
OF THE RUSSIAN MAFIA SO SHE WAS
INDICTED BY THE FBI.
SHE HAD STARTED TO TAKE A RAKE
IN THE GAME TO COVER HER DEBT
SHEET.
SHEET.
SO, LISTEN, SHE DID SOME
TERRIBLE THINGS.
SHE MADE SOME BAD MISTAKES. AND THE GOVERNMENT DEFINITELY
WENT AFTER HER FOR IT.
BUT ALSO THIS FILM IS ABOUT A
WOMAN, I GUESS, IN ANY INDUSTRY.
YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BECOME
SUCCESSFUL IN AN INDUSTRY WHERE
MEN ARE CREATING THE RULES.
THE FILM REALLY EXPLORES PAT
ARCY.
ARCY.
>> AND THATS POIGNANT AT THIS TIME.D THATS POIGNANT AT THIS
TIME.
YOUVE BEEN VERY VOCAL ON THIS
ANTI-SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN
HOLLYWOOD AND PUT YOURSELF OUT
THERE FRONT AND CENTER.
SOME PEOPLE ARE APPLAUDING BY
THE SIDELINES.
WHY WAS IT IMPORTANT TO BE FRONT
AND CENTER FOR YOU?
>> BECAUSE ITS MORE THAN JUST A
HOLLYWOOD ISSUE, ITS A
SOCIETY-WIDE ISSUE.
I THINK A LOT OF ATTENTION IS IN
HOLLYWOOD BECAUSE WERE IN THE
MEDIA AND ACTRESSES AND WE HAVE
A VERY LARGE PLATFORM.
BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A GRAVE
INJUSTICE TO IGNORE OTHER WOMEN
IN OTHER INDUSTRIES BECAUSE
ITS -- LIKE I SAID, ITS A
SOCIETY-WIDE PROBLEM.
THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL LETTER WIN
TO THE ACTRESSES OF HOLLYWOOD
FROM WOMEN WORKING AS FARM WORKERS.EN WORKING AS FARM
WORKERS.
AND WHAT THEY GO THROUGH EVERY DAY.WHAT THEY GO THROUGH EVERY
DAY.
THEY WERE SAYING, LISTEN, WE
DONT HAVE THE ATTENTION THAT
WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD HAVE, BUT
PLEASE DONT IGNORE US.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE FACE EVERY
DAY TOO.
SO ITS IMPORTANT THAT WE RE-EXAMINE HOW WE PERCEIVE
GENDER IN OUR SOCIETY.
>> ITS VERY COOL.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE FILM, THE
NOMINATION.
NOMINATION.
HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY AND
