Ashley Judd, . sure, . not "Clint Eastwood in a skirt", . but if it will continue to continue to play strong women, . alone vengeance on their oppressors (her previous film was "Kiss the Girls", . where she tracked the maniac), . then soon it will be able to press the Hollywood superhero male., . "I decided to appear in" double miscalculation "because my role here is different from those generally offered to women in Hollywood . And in "Double miscalculation" and "Kiss the Girls" I could not afford to be very different, and not just play the "good girl" or "sad girl". And then the theme itself revenge brings great energy charge. . From the outset, the role of "double miscalculation" was proposed by Jodie Foster, she signed a contract with Paramount studios and six months preparing for the shooting, yet pregnancy does not make her give up work . Since Judd was lucky - thanks to this role, she got in the list of highest paid Hollywood stars. .

But something they did not work, and we are terribly chilled.
Even worse she was given a scene where she should lie in a closed coffin, where her husband put his (played by Bruce Greenwood): "I cried all day and then. Perhaps another reason that this scene was shot last and had to leave with the crew. But in itself the need for a long time motionless and lying in a coffin reminded me of death.

On the contrary, she said, that our imagination can become an inspiration in the work and life. I could, for example, read a book about some girl and represent that I am - this is it. So I never specifically intended to become an actress, I lived with this since childhood. "
. Ashley refused to watch a TV movie about his childhood, Naomi and Winona: Love can build a bridge ", based on the autobiography of a mother (by the way, Ashley's stepfather, there is her partner in a" double failures "Bruce Greenwood) .

In spite of everything, . they had to for the sake of promotion for the TV series to go on talk shows and give interviews: "I went on the Oprah Winfrey, . to help the mother promoutirovat film and even agreed to be in it "voice-overs", . because she knew - for my mother is very important, . And when I had something to embellish or lie, I imagine myself saying: "The reward for this is waiting for you in heaven." .
