 Debi Mazar
Interview By: Rocco Passafuime You often recognize her for her highly distinguished characteristics. She has brown hair and piercing, tough eyes and what comes out of her mouth is an often street-smart acerbic tongue laced with a distinctly Queens accent. These traits belong to none other than Debi Mazar. While she has consistently maintained a fairly low profile over her 20+ year career, Mazar always has made an instant impact. It has run the gamut from Debi’s early days as a hip-hop dancer, particularly in music videos for her longtime friend Madonna, to memorable roles in more odd high-profile films like Beethoven’s 2nd, Batman Forever, and Space Truckers to her many TV roles in TV series like L.A. Law, Friends, to her current one as pretty boy actor Vincent Chase’s fierce publicist Shauna Roberts in the HBO hit Entourage. Now, the 44 year-old actress’s latest role is in as Tanya in a new film remake of Claire Boothe Luce’s play The Women, which stars an all-star array of female talent, including Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Debra Messing, and Jada Pinkett Smith. We first asked Mazar how it felt in being in such an environment dominated by so many strong female actresses in such a male-dominated industry and her response was just as direct and no-nonsense as the many characters she has inhabited over the course of her career. “It wasn’t all women,” she recalls, “We talk about men all the time, so they’re always there in a sense. We talk about men ad nauseum. So there’s always the idea of men around, all the hot Irish drivers. The point is we shot a huge remake of a movie with a huge cast of very busy actresses in 36 days. So we came to work, having had the rehearsal, with our characters very well thought out. Diane had a vision that was very clear, so when we were at work, it was like doing any other movie.” “These are my lines, I’m showing up, how are we going to do this scene, OK, let’s go, take 20, you know,” Debi continues, “It was like, we have to get this day finished. So it wasn’t like this talking about our periods and clicking glasses of wine and going, what kind of shaving cream do you use? It wasn’t that kind of a thing. We didn’t have time for that. We had to make a movie. And everybody was so busy, so it was kind of great in that way. It was like doing any other film. It wasn’t a big bonding fest.” We also asked Debi what it was like to work with so many prominent female actresses in one room. “When [Eva Mendes] got invited to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard, I wasn’t invited, but the thing is I was working,” she says, “I may not have been invited, I don’t know, but our characters, like my character would never hang out with the Connecticut chicks, number one. And the thing is ... |
