Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain is as enthusiastic an actress today as she was 10 years ago, when she was struggling to get auditions. She’s also just as open, engaging and unjaded as ever, despite having established herself in the past five years as one of Hollywood’s top stars. She greets you with the same electric smile and self-effacing presence that has always been her trademark. Chastain will never forget how hard she worked to get this far and how, as a child, she watched as her mother struggled to put food on the table for her family.
