The civil rights movement is only starting and Celia Foote (<a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/jessica-chastains-5-most-unlikely-roles-2\/\"><strong>Jessica Chastain<\/strong><\/a>) is a fragile, hypersensitive young housewife and pin-up. She bonds with her Black nanny, who teaches her how to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside aspiring journalist Skeeter (<a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/interview-with-emma-stone-the-magnetic-star-of-the-sublime-and-wacky-poor-things\/\"><strong>Emma Stone<\/strong><\/a>), Celia tries to raise awareness among white Americans about the way Black women are treated in the South. For this moving role, <strong>Jessica Chastain<\/strong> read books about <a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/blonde-is-netflixs-controversial-film-inspired-by-marilyn-monroe-worth-it-2\/\"><strong>Marilyn Monroe<\/strong><\/a>, whose style she mimics in the film, and gained fifteen pounds by eating a liter of soy ice cream daily to prepare for her role. Her widely-acclaimed performance drew flattering comparisons to the versatile Nicole Kidman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1544\"><em>The Help (2011) by Tate Taylor, available on Disney+.<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k7R2uVZYebE\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=k7R2uVZYebE<\/a><\/div>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The trailer of<em> Zero Dark Thirty<\/em> (2013).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><h2 data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1614\">Jessica Chastain plays a determined CIA agent in <em data-start=\"1594\" data-end=\"1612\">Zero Dark Thirty<\/em><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this masterpiece directed by Oscar-winner <strong>Kathryn Bigelow<\/strong> (<em data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1691\">Point Break<\/em>, <em data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1710\">The Hurt Locker<\/em>), <em data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"1731\">Zero Dark Thirty<\/em> (2012) stages the hunt for Osama bin Laden by a U.S. special forces unit as a gripping, partly fictional investigation.

During filming, the actress went through a depression due to the film\u2019s topic. She would often break down in tears between takes.

She infuses her powerful performance with feminist undertones and a touch of vulnerability. To achieve this intensity, she met the real Molly Bloom, interviewed some of her former clients and researched the underground poker world.
