New (Old) Article: "I love complicated roles" (2006)

Published by Posted on

I found this old article from 2006 written when Robin attended her movie "Hollywoodland" premiere during the 2006 Dubai Film Festival.
Here's the transcription:
"I love complicated roles."
by Mary Nammour
DUBAI
Robin Tunney, the charming green-eyed actress who starred in "Hollywoodland", found Dubai to be a unique place to visit.
"I thought the UAE would be a predominantly homogeneous country, but I was mistaken; I was amazed at the number of nationalities one can come across here in Dubai. I have already been to Old Gold Souk and the Polo Match field where I enjoyed a match between India and Dubai Club. I will be going to the desert for the closing night Gala. I would love to see more of Dubai if I had the chance", Tunney told "Khaleej Times".
Tunney, who played the role of Leonore Lemmon in Hollywoodland, an inspiring New Yorker looking for opportunities in her career as an actress and singer, said her role in the film was quite exciting as it involved a tumultuous relationship with George Reeves played by Ben Affleck.
"I love complicated roles and I can be good at playing negative characters. The film is based on a true story. Leonore was a real person. She was wild, she fell for Reeves the moment she saw him and she ran after him. She was the first suspect in his murder."
Tunney, who began her career 15 years ago, won the Best Leading Actress award at the Venice International Film Festival in 1998 for her role in "Niagara, Niagara".
I also found some photos from the same event in 2006:

I've received today Robin's answer to the Fans Book I've sent her last February! And she also included a special gift with the message, the cross chain Lisbon used to wear during Season 1! I can't express how awesome that is, it's like holding the most wonderful treasure in my hands! I will not thank Robin enough for her sweet message, and for the wonderful gift. You are awesome Robin!! I hope Robin's wrist will heal very soon, and I appreciate even more that she took time to write something despite that! Get well soon Robin! ♥ The Message: "Maria, Thank you for the beautiful book! My wrist is broken so I cannot write much. I have procured Lisbon's cross from season 1 for you as a token of my appreciation. Lots of love! xx Robin."

New Interview: Q&A with Robin Tunney

Published by Posted on

New Interview with Robin, released by Anthem Magazine A gaggle of teens with the “coolest job in the world”—hawking music while listening to same—are faced with the impending sale of their beloved record store to a big and shiny tunes chain. Four teenage girls at a Catholic prep school form a coven of witches to strike back at their peers and use their newfound sorcery for personal gain. At the end of the second millennium, Satan visits New York City in search of a bride to bear the Antichrist—over Arnold Schwarzenegger’s dead body. The connecting thread between Empire Records, The Craft, and End of Days is of course Robin Tunney, who hit it big in the late ‘90s and has grown to show as much longevity in her career as the select films from her body of work—cult phenoms, if not cultural touchstones by some measure. Now most widely recognized for her seven-year tenure on The Mentalist, which ended its run in 2015, the actress is teaming up with Nicolas Cage in Tim Hunter’s Looki
