 “The craft service guy, who was so sweet,” Mendes continues, “At the end of the day, my favorite thing is chocolate covered almonds. He got me a thing this big of chocolate covered almonds and the scariest part is I had to end up sharing it, because I almost just did it all myself, did it all like it was this crazy thing I had to do, I almost ate them all.” In the film, Mendes plays Crystal Allen, a perfume “spritzer girl”, whose involved in dalliances with a married Wall Street businessman. However, the actress insists Crystal is not your typical garden-variety mistress, she also stresses she’s not the kind of person she ever wants to emulate. “She’s very desperate and she’s not a bad person, because, you know, she’s not evil or anything,” she explains, “But certainly, she’s desperate and she makes really bad decisions.” Eva also said that it fell on herself to really add some new three-dimensional wrinkles to the formulaic mistress cliché of her character. “I thought it was important in the movie to get to know where Crystal comes from.

I don’t believe that you can steal a husband, but I believe you can ruin a household and that is a major thing to carry on your shoulders.” We asked the actress if she herself had any favorite scenes from The Women. “I don’t know,” Mendes replies, “Debra Messing’s birth was a fun scene. I was a little jealous I wasn’t a part of it. I thought it would be funny if Debi and I showed up anyway. Crystal and Tanya showing up, it’s like, what are you doing here? Like, we ... |
