LA Times Magazine April 2011: Evan Rachel Wood in “Nobody’s Baby” photoshoot by Mark Segal
Evan Rachel Wood attends the 2nd Annual Mary J. Blige Honors Concert at Hammerstein Ballroom on May 1, 2011 in New York City.
"And when cameras roll, Wood is often the lowest-maintenance talent on set, no matter how explosive the material. “She came fully loaded,” says Redford, who chose Wood over such up-and-comers as Mia Wasikowska. “I didn’t have to say much to her. I had a talk with her about the arc of her character and the nature of who she was, and she just got it.”
That consummate poise is paired with an almost uncanny range. As Veda—easily the vilest daughter in literature this side of The Bad Seed—Wood imparts a subtle depth born of insecurity and abandonment, who manages to rack up the sympathy points even while hurling a shoe at a careworn Winslet.
As Anna, her spit and vinegar washes away to reveal a young woman simply terrified of losing her mother.
Tom Wilkinson, Robin Wright, Robert Redford, James McAvoy and Evan Rachel Wood attend the New York Premiere of "The Conspirator" on April 11, 2011.
“She can split atoms,” Redford says. “I mean, she can rip into someone—create a really hot existence for a character. She has a kind of bite to her work, but if you look at it carefully, it’s never overplayed. There’s something in her that enjoys going to that darker edge, but she’s capable of going right back into the light again.”
