In a new interview, the Sacramento-reared Academy Award winner reveals how a scholarship started by the late comedy star, and an early role in a TheatreWorks Silicon Valley production, affected the…
These two events, involving one of the Bay Area’s most famous cultural figures and one of its cornerstone theater companies , helped affect the course of Chastain’s path to film stardom, as she explained in the interview, which was taped in June, before the SAG-AFTRA actors union went on strike. In Chastain’s telling, Al Pacino also plays a key role in her professional narrative.
“It’s expensive to live in New York and go to school,” Chastain said to Maron. She also explained how she had been a high school dropout — not because she spent her time doing drugs or drinking but because she preferred spending her time reading Shakespeare. After high school, she said she worked as a waitress, while earning college credits at Sacramento City College and auditioning for productions at regional theaters in Sacramento and in the Bay Area.
“I had taken out so many loans,” Chaistain continued. “I had four younger siblings. It was pretty intense. I thought, if they cut me from this program, all this money is down the tubes.” This image released by Searhlight Pictures shows Andrew Garfield as Jim Bakker, center, and Jessica Chastain as Tammy Faye Bakker in a scene from “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”
“He ran out. I think he must have been late for something,” Chastain told Maron. “I jumped up to kind of chase him out of the restaurant.” But she said she then thought, “No, that’s crazy. That feels inappropriate.” “Now I tell people: If anyone ever sees me and they want to say ‘hi,’ do it! Maybe, like, wait until I’m done eating, but if I’m running out of a restaurant, you can run with me,” Chastain said.
