We’re joined by the talented and captivating Annette Bening! She stars alongside Bill Nighy in the new film “Hope Gap.” In it, she plays a woman dealing with the wreckage after being blindsided by the sudden end of her thirty year marriage. She’ll talk to us about her approach to playing English characters, how she tapped into her “Hope Gap” character to work on her own issues with confrontation avoidance and how motherhood offered a welcome respite to the sometimes alienating life of show business. Plus, we ask her about playing a baddie on “Miami Vice!“
