in the movie, we actually are girl friends, we meet through Sachs, the store, so we’re all shop girls. So Eva and I had a scene that’s not in the movie, where we’re at the apartment, she’s attempting to cook, so we see a lot more about Crystal.”

“Nobody really wanted to hang out with me,” Mazar jokes, as she continues, “I bonded with her no sooner than when Ana Gasteyer’s scene got cut, too. She was in this scene that we did and she was the other spritzer girl and it was a great moment for her. She drove the scene. She was so funny. She was pregnant that day. Then she left to Chicago.”

When asked about whether she had inferred of possible tension on setbetween her and Eva Mendes, Mazar quickly shot down any such possible innuendo and did not mince words in her genuine praise for Mendes and how she tackled her role as mistress Crystal Allen.

“In the movie, she really played it in such a fresh way,” Debi believes, “I love what she did with it. When I read it, Crystal really could have been…like I was afraid they were really going to make it close to the original. And what made it so fresh is [Eva] made the choice.

“I have a close-knit circle,” she replies, “I was raised by a single mom. My grandmothers were both single mothers. I’ve been around strong women my whole life, so, but the only time I ever got mistrustful actually was when I became famous. Because then, you saw people coming at you all of a sudden that didn’t pay attention and the next minute, they’re like, ‘Hey, what’s going on? You’re fabulous!’ And then you’re like, you didn’t even talk to me a week ago.”

“So that was a weird cross in my life, but I, in general, have five or six people around me that I can confide in,” Mazar adds, “When it comes to my marriage, it’s pretty much between me and my husband, because there’s a certain sacredness in marriage. ...
