«Watts happening!» the newsreels joked when they finally spotted her. A play on words: her last name sounds like «what», and «happening» is translated as «happening».
Indeed, it happened, it became a happening. Blonde. Skinny. Nicole Kidman has been Nicole Kidman’s best friend since childhood in Sydney. Talent. And Naomi Watts managed to get a prominent role only after thirty. But she rumbled: this role was with David Lynch in Mulholland Drive. There she played a bit of herself — an unsuccessful actress. And before the eyes of the audience, she turned from a blonde into a great actress.
Naomi Watts likes «borderline» roles, she says: «Unhappiness is more human.» In «21 Grams» her heroine experiences the death of her husband and daughters, in «Divorce» — a painful separation, in «The Call» she saves her son from people from the world of the dead.
And in «Stay» he tries to commit suicide … The heroines of Watts are always worse than us. This is her way of giving us hope: “Experiences must be shared so that people do not feel alone. And my life was not easy, not very lucky. So it’s a good thing for us that XNUMX-year-old Watts and Kidman were auditioned for bikini commercials. They said: «You girls are very thin.»
«Stay.» Director: Mark Forster.
