Rosalind Eleazar Finds the Role of a Lifetime in Chris Rock's TIFF Standout 'Misty Green'
Rosalind Eleazar plays a volatile former A-lister in the dark Hollywood satire, and awards watchers are already naming her a best actress contender.
- Director Rock premiered his new drama 'Misty Green' on Sept. 12 at the Toronto International Film Festival, starring 38-year-old British actor Rosalind Eleazar in the lead role.
- Rock, 61, wrote and directed the film as his first directorial effort since 2014, drawing creative inspiration from his younger years performing in Vegas.
- Describing her character as 'seemingly unlovable,' Eleazar admitted she was 'really desperate' for the role after reading Rock's raw, honest script.
- Costars Topher Grace and Amy Landecker praised the film as 'a sharp satire of the Hollywood industry,' calling the script 'dead on' in its portrayal.
- With A24 releasing the film on Oct. 9, Eleazar is positioned as a likely best actress contender at next year's Academy Awards.
