Well, it's finally nice to see Julia Roberts with a smile on her face - for once.
The 'Charlie Wilson's War' actress was part of the star-studded
audience as the curtain went up on the revival of Clifford Odets' 'The
Country Girl' at NYC's Bernard B. Jacobs Theater last night.
The play, directed by film and theater veteran Mike Nichols (who recently brought 'Spamalot' to the Great White Way), tells the tale of a washed-up, alcoholic actor, played by Morgan Freeman, trying to stage a comeback, with the help of an aggressive producer, played by Peter Gallagher. Frances 'Fargo' McDormand co-stars as Morgan's long-suffering wife, and the 'Country Girl' of the play's title.
As small as New York theaters are, to have Julia, Kirsten Dunst, Steve Martin, Natalie Portman, Ellen Barkin, designer Diane von Furstenberg and 'SNL' alum Rachel Dratch all under one roof, I'd say the premiere was certainly star-packed.
I doubt if Julia was smiling as she left the theater, as the play got lukewarm reviews at best.
