 The Trades - Interview: Melissa Leo of "21 Grams"
As an actress drawn to emotionally complex roles, I was curious to see how Melissa prepared for her performance in “21 Grams” and how difficult it was to play a character so conflicted and yet so resilient.
In ”21 Grams,” Leo plays a devoted wife/mother who is continually challenged and tested by her born again husband played by Benicio del Toro (recently nominated for an Oscar for his performance).
There is a raw vulnerability to Leo’s portrayal of her subject that makes you think quite possibly she’s really relating to her subject all too well-in a way that seems to indicate that perhaps she too is experiencing the pain.
