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:

Another new interview released by FoxNews in which Robin talks about her new movie released today, Looking Glass, and also some of her iconic roles such as in Craft and Empire Records. Robin Tunney has starred in some of the most iconic films from the ‘90s, but these days she’s opening a creepy motel alongside Nicolas Cage just for a good thrill. The duo star as a married couple in “Looking Glass,” a voyeuristic film where they are faced with disturbing, unexplained events occurring inside of what should be a desert oasis. Tunney, who captivated teens in cult classics like “Empire Records” and The Craft,” said she’s been waiting for years to work alongside Cage —and it was worth it. Fox News spoke with Tunney about what surprised her the most about Cage, her favorite memory with Arnold Schwarzenegger and whether she stays in touch with her former cast mates from “The Craft.” To continue reading the interview, click on Read More.

I still have to realize myself if this is just a work of my imagination, or if it is real, so bear with me if this post will sound a little too much incoherent! ;) I received yesterday an e-mail from Robin Tunney's personal assistant who very kindly passed along a message from Robin, in which she thanks all the fans involved in the Birthday Project Video that I shared here on Robin's Birthday day. ( I remind you the link of the Birthday Project, created by  @Totorsg  :  LINK  ) So here's the message, and enjoy it everyone! ** Before you ask me, yes this is all true. I made sure myself to verify it! ;) ** And just a few words from me. When I opened this website, I had no idea what this project would become. It was just a little blog at the beginning, but thanks to it I started to know a lot of Robin's fans. Some of them have become Friends.  Robin, you really mean a lot to us, you mean a lot to me, not just for your Art but becuase of all the beautiful people I
