 Naomi Watts
Interview By: Edward Kasche
Naomi Watts is one actress that seems not to have been devoured by the machinery of Hollywood during her meteoric rise to fame; which is why it was a pleasure to sit down with her for a chat. She stays close to her family and friends, and is, in her words, “determined to carry on with my life,” which includes “waking up with wet hair and walking to the local store.” She may have a hard time continuing this ideal life after the opening of the next big blockbuster to come from the passion and imagination of director Peter Jackson.

Asked if it was daunting to act in a remake, the first of her career, she recalled, “Yeah it was. When you take on any movie, and take in mind I didn’t read the script for this one [Kong], you have to think of all the cons. This is the iconic movie! But once I had spoken to Peter and his team, I understood what they were going for and how they were going to make it work. Ann Darrow [her character] is no longer a damsel in distress. That comforted me.” Early on, she received blessing from the original Ann Darrow, Fay Wray, who recently passed on. Naomi said, “She was wonderful. She still had lots of life in her, and great humor.
