Last night, Evan was in New York along with co-stars Kate Winslet and Guy Pearce for the premiere of Mildred Pierce! She looked absolutely amazing in a plum long sleeve jersey cocktail dress and matching peep-toe platforms both by Elie Saab. Over 60 HQ pics have been added, with hopefully more on the way!

Remember, parts 1 and 2 of Mildred Pierce premieres this Sunday (March 27) on HBO.

As the 1946 Academy Awards approached, there wasn’t a lot of suspense about where the best-actor and best-picture trophies would wind up; Ray Milland and The Lost Weekend looked like shoo-ins. The best-actress competition, however, was a horse race. The general consensus was that Joan Crawford probably deserved the Oscar for her portrayal of Mildred Pierce in the film of the same name, but three of the other nominated actresses—Ingrid Bergman, Jennifer Jones, and Gene Tierney—seemed more likely to win. The films those three women starred in were sunnier (particularly Bergman’s The Bells of St. Mary’s), and the actresses themselves were better-liked. Crawford was arrogant, overmannered, and difficult to work with. “I wouldn’t sit on her toilet,” Bette Davis once famously said.

Arrogant she may have been; stupid she was not. Terrified of losing, she pretended to be sick on the big night. The film’s director, Michael Curtiz—originally dismayed to be saddled with such a difficult leading lady—accepted on her behalf. Crawford welcomed reporters into her bedroom only after her win was safely in the bag.

There’ll be no such difficulties at this year’s Emmy Awards, when Kate Winslet will very likely accept her own award. She isn’t disliked in the Hollywood community, has no diva reputation (at least that I’ve been able to discover), she got to work from a script that closely follows James M. Cain’s high-voltage story (the 1945 version veers wildly from the book, adding a ridiculous murder plot), and she acts rings around Crawford.

Does this make HBO’s five-part miniseries—directed by Todd Haynes and gorgeously photographed by previous Haynes collaborator Edward Lachman—the television event of the spring? Um … well … that sort of depends on your sensibilities, Constant Viewer. If you’re into Bright & Sunny, I suggest five evenings of Frasier reruns. Or you could put The Bells of St. Mary’s in your Netflix queue. If, however, darkly compelling drama about people who aren’t particularly likable (plus one nasty little girl who grows into a truly monstrous young woman) is your cup of bitter tea, you won’t want to miss it.

Evening everyone! As I am stuck indoors with a cold, I figured I would be productive, and so have re-added Evan’s public appearances from 1998 – 2002. She looks so young! I have also added lots of additional pictures to the albums that we already had, as well as several events that were missing. More soon!

Check out this new short film for Gucci Guilty Pour Homme featuring Evan Rachel Wood and Chris Evans.

The film was shot by director Frank Miller (Sin City) and the soundtrack was done by Bat for Lashes.

The first video in the series premiered last summer and a set of sexy ads featuring a shirtless Chris debuted late last year.

George Clooney’s The Ides of March, an adaptation of Beau Willimon’s play Farragut North, will get a theatrical release on October 14, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In addition to Clooney, the movie stars Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood, and follows a young press spokesman who falls prey to backroom politics, the treacherous manipulations of veteran operatives and the seduction of a young intern.

Farragut North premiered at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2008 and was subsequently seen at the Geffen Playhouse. Willimon’s latest play, Spirit Control, recently played New York City Center Stage I.
