Britain’s Carey Mulligan spoke with Vicky Roach
about The Seagull, The Great Gatsby and Inside Llewyn Davis.
1. FIRST LOVE
The English actor made her Broadway debut in a critically acclaimed
revival of Chekhov's The Seagull. "Nina just happens to be the best female
character under 30 and the most beautiful piece of writing. And yes, there is
something inescapable about that play. I think I have spent the last couple of
years trying to find equivalents."
2. IT'S A PRIVILEGE
"I've been very lucky and I had a lovely upbringing," says
Mulligan, who was born in the snooty central London suburb of Mayfair and whose
father is a hotel manager. "But we lived in an apartment within the hotel.
We didn't have silver service every day. (Gatsby's) Daisy Buchanan has a kind
of wealth I don't think we can even fathom. (She and Tom) are like
royalty."
3. CANNES-DO ATTITUDE
Mulligan had back-to-back red carpet premieres this year - one for The
Great Gatsby and another for the Coen brothers' film, Inside Llewyn Davis.
"It was a complete 180, which I really loved. And a part I'd never played
before. She (Jean in ILD) is very bitter. And you meet her at a time when she
is incredibly angry."
4. ON SONG
Mulligan performs one song in the hotly anticipated drama, set in the
'60s folk world. "It's part of a trio - me, Justin Timberlake and an actor
called Stark Sands," says the wife of Marcus Mumford, who was associate
producer on the soundtrack.
The Great Gatsby is now showing.
