		BC: Joan is married to an excellent actor named Peter Freeman who you may not be aware of having been seeing him and everytime you see him you've been impressed.
		It was great for me and it gave me complete focus and concentration the company was able to give me their support and be there for me which would have been more difficult then Chicago and I think was particularly something a first time person can benefit from.
		I didn't think that I would necessarily but I think that's because Joan is so fantastic to work with as was the rest of the cast and the kinds of horror stories that sometimes people hear I experienced none of them.

	New York Daily News - Entertainment - A walk on the wild side (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Joan Allen's film career has been a thick American quilt made of suffering but stalwart wives ("Nixon," "The Ice Storm") and women trapped by the mores of their times ("The Crucible," "Pleasantville," "The Contender").
		In the comedy-drama "The Upside of Anger," Allen plays a churlish, alcoholic mother of four daughters stumbling toward a new life - and a slovenly new lover, played by Kevin Costner - after her husband disappears.
		Yet while her upbringing in small-town Rochelle, Ill., gave Allen plenty of starchy Midwestern role models to draw upon, her real life was another story.

		For most of her film career, Joan Allen, 44, has been cast as ''the wife.'' Among her film husbands have been Nicolas Cage, Jeff Daniels, Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson, John Travolta, Kevin Kline, Anthony Hopkins, and both Jeff and Beau Bridges.
		As a film reviewer, Lurie had a ''creative crush'' on Allen, calling her ''a female Gregory Peck,'' so he wrote the screenplay with her in mind: After the death of the Vice President, Democratic President Jackson Evans (Jeff Bridges) decides to make history by naming a woman to take the VP's place.
		Her most rousing scene comes when she tells the committee exactly what she believes in, but her most moving moment comes in the Oval Office, when the President and his chief of staff literally bring her to tears.
