KERRY O'BRIEN: Judy Davis, given your well-publicised reluctance to deal with the media, I guess it was inevitable that, when you finally played a journalist, it would be one who didn't particularly like her own profession.
JUDY DAVIS: No, in fact, when Mark first suggested him, it was such a fantastic idea and really out of left field and, in fact, my involvement in the project, to a degree, was contingent on him playing it.

 Acting "Genius": Judy Davis
The film's showcasing of Judy Davis and the process of discovering "who she is" celebrates the seductiveness of star personae, but it also exposes the extent to which such projections are determined by a fetishistic appropriation of fragmented imagery.
Davis emphasises the artificiality, the strategic element, of this process, and therefore undermines the assumption of a distinction between lived emotion and theatrical gesture.
And Davis' own jutting, angular movements match up with the camera's insistence on positioning her at the edge of the frame and dislocating our gaze towards her – it's as if, in the end, a character's self-image could determine the way in which she will be portrayed.

 Judy Davis -- Queer Lesbian Gay Arts & Entertainment: Celebrities -- Gay.com
She'll be switching over to other kinds of narcotics in her portrayal of the iconic Judy Garland in the ABC movie "Me and My Shadows", based on the memoir by Garland's daughter, Lorna Luft.
Davis says she refused to play Garland as a victim, and the two-time Oscar nominee (for Woody Allen's "Husbands and Wives" and David Lean's "A Passage to India") will no doubt lend acerbic complexity to what she calls the toughest role of her career.
Davis, who was last seen sapphically as Diane, Margarethe Cammermeyer's girlfriend in the gays-in-the-military docudrama ""Serving in Silence", got a brilliant career jump-start with Gillian Armstrong's "My Brilliant Career," and has worked memorably with Michael Tolkin ("The New Age"), the Coen Brothers ("Barton Fink"), and David Cronenberg, while becoming a Woody Allen regular.

 Amazon.com: Life with Judy Garland - Me and My Shadows (2001) : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Since the project is based on a memoir by Lorna Luft, Judy Garland's "other" daughter, the emphasis is on Garland's rocky post-MGM years, spotlighting marriages, pills, and spectacular stage comebacks.
Davis handles the neurotic swoops with authority; when Garland sighs on her birthday, "I'm 47 today--with my life, that makes me 412," you believe her.
This is a pretty favorable treatment of the life of Judy Garland, at least from the standpoint of the role daughter Lorna Luft played in the context of growing up with a mother who became a legend in her own time.

"Oh, there you are," exhales Judy Davis as she rounds the corner of a Toronto hotel bar in a lavender sweater, near-fl lipstick, and spiky eggplant-color hair that adds a wonderful menace to her moon-pale face.
It's a tense moment, since Davis is not keen on interviews--often with the excellent excuse that by the time any given film comes out, she's home in Australia with her husband and two children.
But for young gay men now, Judy Garland and the men who loved her represent a time that they are quite happy to leave behind.

Although I first had the pleasure of seeing Australian native Judy Davis in “The Ref,”; the critics had already dubbed her as “one of the best actresses working today, with stellar turns in a variety of unusual roles” by the time of this film’s release in 1994.
This performance is said to have set the pace of Davis’s career, naturally leading to her being cast in somewhat unusual, strong-willed, and quite eccentric female roles (with “The Ref”; being an excellent case in point).

She may not have Julia Roberts' pull at the box office, but Judy Davis has established herself as one of the best actresses working today, with stellar turns in a variety of unusual roles.
The performance won Davis Best Actress awards in Australia and Britain and set the tone for her own career, in which she's repeatedly played strong-willed, sometimes eccentric heroines who are frequently at odds with society at large.
Davis next did Kangaroo (1986, oppo site husband Colin Friels) and reunited with director Gillian Armstrong for High Tide (1987, also featuring Friels), one of her best performances, as a woman who encounters the daughter she had abandoned years earlier.

If Judy Davis ("Husbands and Wives") doesn't win an Emmy, a Golden Globe and every other acting award they can throw at her, they should just melt down the statuettes.
Davis does more than impersonate Garland -- she completely inhabits the doomed star's manic yet indomitable nature.

Australia, on April 23, 1955, Davis rebelled against her Catholic upbringing by leaving home at the age of 17 to join a rock band, which toured across Asia for six months.
She was nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of young Golda Meir in the TV miniseries A Woman Called Golda (1982), and earned her first Oscar nomination for her interpretation of the enigmatic Adela Quested in David Lean's A Passage to India in 1984.
Davis' films during the second half of the '90s were marked by a notably uneven quality, and she could be seen in everything from the wildly idiosyncratic Children of the Revolution (1996) to further collaborations with Allen, Deconstructing Harry (1997) and Celebrity (1998).

 Husbands and Wives DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
When Sally and Jack (Judy Davis and Sydney Pollack) announce they are splitting up, it throws their best friends Gabe and Judy Roth (Woody Allen and Mia Farrow) into a tailspin.
Judy Davis steals every scene as Sally, and Liam Neeson is appealing as Sally's new suitor and object of confused Judy Roth's crush as her own marriage falters.
The coda, set almost two years later, as the couples reflect on the events that lead to one divorce and one couple mending fences, may be played for subtle humor, but in the end, it seems more to be about the downside of love.

 Judy Davis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
As Davis moved into U.S. and international productions, the early 90s saw her careworn but sensitive features and intriguingly edgy performance style embroider a virtuoso series of highly-strung but generally sympathetic characterizations.
Having cast Davis in a small role in his whimsical ALICE (1990), Woody Allen brought her talents to the fore as one member of the quartet in HUSBANDS AND WIVES (1992) attempting to balance emotional relationships with personal drives and ambitions.
Davis was cast by director George Sluizer in his psychological thriller DARK BLOOD (1993) but production closed down when co-star River Phoenix died of a drug overdose before the filming was completed.
