Women’s History Month might be nearly over but Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain make an impassioned case for women supporting women every day, always.
The actresses are sitting across from me in a virtual press junket that I was so nervous about; I cracked a joke about how the cleaner had just been washing the window behind me (the interview was on EST, and while sitting in the virtual waiting room, I’d frantically flail my hands every 15 minutes to turn the lights back on). It was a naff gag, but I knew I was in good company when Anne and Jessica politely chuckled. It soon turned into actual laughter as Hathaway cooly replied, “We’re amazing,” when I asked why people are so fascinated by female friendship.
