My Fun Interview with Judy Greer for “The Descendants”

It was truly a blessing meeting Judy Greer in person! I’ve always been a fan, and her performance in “The Descendants” truly cemented my admiration for the actress. If you haven’t seen the film yet, I will not reveal her pivotal role, but this I can tell you, she’s the heart of the film.

In this interview, we talked about:

What attracted her to making “The Descendants?”
Working with George Clooney for the second time? (They previously acted together in “Three Kings”)
How did he prepare his role with Clooney?
Her forgiving character in the film
How did she get into the vulnerable yet strong character?
What kind of a director is Alexander Payne?
The ensemble cast
The themes of accepting life and letting go
The Palm Springs International Film Festival
What’s next for Miss Judy Greer?
Her Midwest upbringing

Have Fun!
