Calista Flockhart works so rarely in television or films, it always feels like an event when she?s actually out of the house. She?s now starring in Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, and she plays Lee Radziwell, Jackie Kennedy?s sister. She?s joined by Naomi Watts (Babe Paley), Diane Lane (Slim Keith), Chloe Sevigny (CZ Guest), Molly Ringwald (Joanne Carson) and Demi Moore (Ann Woodward). Calista recently gave a pretty great interview to Maureen Dowd at the NY Times about Feud, about being married to Harrison Ford and about life in general. She also touches on the ?90s sh-t all of the conversations about her short skirts and whether she had an eating disorder. Some highlights:
She would have had lunch with the Swans: ?Maybe once. I felt very sorry for them. Here they are, the toast of New York ? rich, jewels, apartments, houses in the country, houses in Europe. They travel all the time on private planes. They have yachts. They are dictating what is in and what is not. Underneath all that, they were very sad, very lonely and really unhappy women.?
She loved the costumes but her real style isn?t like that: ?I should have lived in the ?60s, for sure?[but] I?m not going to wear a purse that says Gucci all over it, because that just seems strange. I?m also just very frugal. I have some really beautiful designer clothes, but 90 percent of my wardrobe is from Nordstrom. Just what?s comfortable, what works. I have a uniform. I switch from a gray sweater to a black sweater back to the gray sweater to a black sweater.?
On Lee Radziwell: ?Truman Capote recognized that she was living in her sister?s shadow, and he would say things: ?You?re so much prettier. You?re so much smarter. You?re more interesting. You have better style.? She really needed to hear that. I think it made her really love Truman. He was fun, and she confided in him, like they all did.?
On all of the criticism of Ally McBeal?s short skirts: ?I have a lot of distance and perspective, and I?m still incredulous. I cannot believe that I was scrutinized and pursued like that. It was intense and it was unfair.? Ms. Flockhart recalled how casually that wardrobe decision had been made: ?I said to the costume designer: ?It either has to be long or short. It can?t be in the middle, because that doesn?t make my leg look good.? She said, ?OK, let?s go short.? I said, ?Cool, let?s go short.? And then all of a sudden there was this huge short-skirt scandal, which was really fun.?
The conversations about whether she was anorexic: ?I don?t think that would ever happen today. They call it body-shaming now. I haven?t thought about it in a long time, but it?s really not OK to accuse someone of having a disease that a lot of people struggle with. It wasn?t the case, and there was nothing I could do to convince anybody or get out of it. If I had worn a big padded bra, they probably would never have been able to target me in that way. I look back at pictures, and I?m the same then as I am now, and nobody says a word now. I was an easy target, I guess. It was painful, it was complicated. I loved working on ?Ally McBeal,? and it just made it sour. I was very sleep-deprived and I was depressed about it. I did think that it was going to ruin my career. I didn?t think anybody would ever hire me again, because they would just assume I had anorexia, and that would be the end of that.?
She?s always been naturally small: ?I honestly have never been in a situation where I have to watch my weight. My mom is 4-11 now, and she weighed 93 pounds when she was married. Talk about a little tiny elf. I just have small bones, and I just am lucky.?
Why her marriage to Harrison has worked: She mused that one of the reasons that it has worked is because she was ?really content being home? as a full-time mom. ?I didn?t have the same dreams at the time, so we weren?t competing with each other. We?re very independent of each other in some ways and probably incredibly codependent on each other in others.?
Her independence startled him at first. ?It scares him, I think, sometimes. When I first met him, he said, ?You are the most self-sufficient woman in the world, and I don?t know how I feel about that.? I remember I said, ?What are you talking about?? Because I didn?t recognize I was self-sufficient. The other reason it works is, we?re both pretty introverted. We stay home a lot, homebodies, which is nice.?
[From The NY Times]
If you go to the full piece, there?s a cute back-and-forth between Harrison and Calista about how they met (Harrison was interviewed separately). Basically, Harrison caught a glimpse of Calista at the 2002 Golden Globes and he was like ?who is that??? He went over to her and tried to chat her up but she was ambivalent, but they kept talking later in the evening and he asked her out, and they?ve basically been together since their first date. She doesn?t make a big deal about ?oh, I?m the wife of a Hollywood power player,? and it feels like neither of them really revel in that side of things. She?s just happy at home, raising her son and living her life. I also believe her when she says that she?s just naturally small. Some people are just fine-boned. And yes, all of those conversations about her body were gross at the time.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart got into the Halloween spirit dressing as… two old people. Um… is that even fair to dress as yourself? There must be something in the Halloween bylaws about this.

She got hitched to longtime boyfriend Harrison Ford last week, and Calista Flockhart was spotted in London, England last night sans her new hubby.
The ?Ally McBeal? actress brought her nine-year-old son Liam along for the trip, enjoying a delicious dinner at the Ivy restaurant.
From there, Calista and her boy headed over to the Ambassador Theatre to catch a production of the musical show Stomp.
And of course, Ms. Flockhart was dressed in a lovely ensemble, including a navy blue and black dress with a black cardigan and black heels.

Some celebrities spend tens of thousands of dollars on their wedding ensembles, but Harrison Ford decided to keep it simple and inexpensive.
The ?Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? actor opted for a pair of Wrangler jeans when he tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Calista Flockhart.
Ms. Flockhart also took the casual route in selecting her attire - she wore a white sundress to the understated ceremony, held at the mansion of Governor Bill Richardson.
Bernie Pollack, a friend of the couple, told press, "They're both honest in their approach to life and to each other. This [marriage] will only enhance what they already had."

After more than eight years together, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have tied the knot.
Ford surprised Flockhart with a Valentine’s Day wedding proposal in 2009. They were married Tuesday in New Mexico, where the actor is filming Cowboys and Aliens.
The wedding, which took place at the Governor’s Mansion in Santa Fe, was performed by Governor Bill Richardson under the legal supervision of New Mexico’s Chief Justice, Charles W. Daniels, who officially declared the couple legally wed.
Gov. Richardson and his wife, Barbara, who are friends of the couple, were witnesses for the bride and groom. The couple’s son Liam, 9, was also in attendance, as was the governor’s official counsel.

After an eight-year engagement, twice-divorced Harrison Ford and “Ally McBeal” actress Calista Flockhart were married yesterday afternoon in New Mexico. According to TMZ:
Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico performed the ceremony.
The couple was married in the Governor’s mansion in Santa Fe. Their marriage license was filed today in the County Clerk’s Office.
Ooh, I bet that’s a really sexy honeymoon night right there. It would be like watching a shell-less tortoise trying to mount a praying mantis without throwing out his back or missing the last ten minutes of Perry Mason. I think I’d have an easier time masturbating to a laxative commercial.

When I first read the title of this article from Fox New Pop Tarts - ?Harrison Ford Opens Up About the Decline of Good Hollywood Roles? - my immediate thought was ?Harrison Ford pulls a Jessica Biel, whines about there being ?no material?.? So imagine my surprise and delight when Pop Tarts even puts a f-cking Biel quote in the article! This seriously made my day. So, anyway, Harrison is bitching about what Hollywood was like back in the good ol? days when ?the studios spent a lot of money on the development of stories and ideas and bought books and they really developed the scripts. That doesn?t happen anymore.? While I will agree that overall, the story-telling aspect of Hollywood films has declined over the years, I do think there is a more particular reason in Harrison Ford’s case.
Veteran actor Harrison Ford has only made a handful of movies over the last few years, and it’s not because he no longer loves acting ? it?s just that according to him ? Hollywood isn’t producing any quality material.
?I grew up in a system where the studios spent a lot of money on the development of stories and ideas and bought books and they really developed the scripts. That doesn?t happen anymore,? Ford told Tarts. ?Now, if you want good material you have to develop it for yourself or have a hand in the process. I have been determined to do that over the past few years.?
Ford took matters into his own hands by signing on as executive producer for the new fact-based drama ?Extraordinary Measures,? where he plays an unconventional scientist that sets out to develop a cure for Pompe disease alongside John and Aileen Crowley (Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell), whose young children are inflicted with the rare degenerative disorder.
?I was looking to develop material for myself,? Ford added. ?I saw an opportunity to tell a very positive human story and the opportunity to craft for myself a part different to what I?ve normally done and a different genre.?
However the 67-year-old ?Indiana Jones? star certainly isn?t the first to be dismayed by the caliber of Hollywood roles these days. In fact, it seems to be quite a hot topic, among both male and female actors.
?Where are the roles for the female experience from that (strong, admirable) point of view for the young college girls, mothers and grandmothers? A lot of actresses I speak to find the same thing,? actress Jessica Biel recently told us. ?We’re all scrambling for it when something good comes out that actually has a good female character.?
[From Fox News Pop Tarts]
Now, I love Harrison. He?s made so many good movies, he?s a friggin? icon, I still have sexual fantasies about his character Jack in Working Girl, and, you know, bless his heart. But he?s old. And I?m not saying old people can?t make movies or that old people can?t make good movies (I?m seriously not saying that), but that Harrison seems to think he should still be making the same kind of films he was making 25 years ago, and no one wants to see him in those roles anymore. Could it be, much like in Biel?s case, Harrison simply isn?t getting the great scripts because those films are going to other (better/younger) actors? With Biel, she lusts after the parts going to Natalie Portman or Anne Hathaway or Scarlett Johansson. With Harrison, I get the feeling he?s lusting after parts going to people like George Clooney or Matt Damon. Why couldn?t Harrison reinvent himself into some Tom Wilkinson-type actor? You know, a stellar character actor and sometime leading man. Because I do miss seeing Harrison. I especially miss him acting in good movies that I want to see.
Oh, and take out the earring. I know he?s had it for a decade or whatever and I should be over it, but the thing still makes me chuckle sadly.

Hello! Magazine has a new interview with Harrison Ford, 67, and he comes across as very open and honest and like a great guy. I don’t remember the last time I saw an interview with Ford, so I watched a couple on YouTube, and he does seem like a normal, nice guy who also happens to be a movie star.
In Hello!, Ford talks about the pitfalls of fame and enthuses about his love of flying and riding motorcycles. The interviewer from Hello! points out that Ford is an environmental activist and that he drives a Prius. When asked if he’s planning a green wedding to fiance Calista Flockhart, he basically answers “of course.” Ford doesn’t say much about his commitment to environmental causes, but Hello! points out that he’s doing promotional work for the Team Earth project, which encourages people to live a more sustainable lifestyle. In that same interview, Ford admits to owning more motorcycles that he can count on both hands and Hello! mentions that Ford, a pilot, has five airplanes and a helicopter and owns three residences. Now how is owning six aircraft and three homes compatible with being conscious of your environmental impact? I’ll give the guy a break, though, as he’s donated a lot of money and time to environmental causes over the years.
Ford also speaks candidly about his love for fiance Calista, and you can tell that she means a lot to him. There’s no word as to when they plan to get married.
When it comes to work travel [Ford] often opts to take either a helicopter or an airplane which he pilots himself…
Every year, he divides his time between his Manhattan loft, his ranch in Wyoming and his home in Montecito…
On yearning for privacy
Ford: “It’s horrible to live with people looking at your nonstop. I’ll never get used to it. My fantasy would be to be invisible.”
On his love of flying
Ford: “I’m not just an actor. I’m also a pilot. I really enjoy the mix of freedom and responsibility that flying requires. I’m not seeking out the adrenaline as much as the pleasure of calculating risk and knowing where the dangers are.”
On his love for Calista
Ford: “I was 60 when I fell in love with Calista. What surprised me most was that I was still capable of establishing a long-lasting relationship, making a serious commitment. With my children, in my private life or my work, I try to learn from my mistakes and evolve.”
On a green wedding
Ford: “I haven’t thought about ‘greening my wedding.’ My wedding was always going to be green.”
[From Hello! Magazine, print edition, October 5, 2009]
Ford confirmed earlier this month that a fifth Indiana Jones movie is in the works. We heard earlier this summer that Ford’s co-star Shia Labeouf said that filming had already begun on the fifth movie. Fox News has a new amusing editorial that asks if some action heroes are just too old to be convincing. The youngest guy they mention is Nicholas Cage, 45, and the oldest is Clint Eastwood, 79. Of Ford, 67, they say “Shia Labeouf will be back [in Indiana Jones 5] to do more of the heavy lifting, but it will still be hard to watch Ford huff and puff his way alongside his much younger co-star.” Ford doesn’t see that as a problem, though, and told Hello! that he’s still around because “I’m not a trend, so you can’t replace me just like that.”
