A Star is Born: Carey Mulligan

The NY Times, in a–I must say–complicated online piece (took me about three minutes to figure out how to read it and then there are all those ads sliding in at you) interviews the young and talented Mulligan. They had the brilliant idea of pairing up Mulligan with different designers. They work, for the most part, only one makes her look a little like Kelly Osborne.

Mulligan says that the Pride and Prejudice shoot “was a mad hippie summer ‚Äî a party every weekend, lots of jumping naked into the lake. And I ate everything; my face ballooned. I realized that catering is a very dangerous thing.” She also says that she now lives in Los Angeles but takes the bus everywhere. Can you imagine getting on the bus and there’s Carey Mulligan? I would advise her to immediately stop taking the bus (economical, unpretentious, but…no). I would also advise her to stay away from certain notorious folks:

I had a meeting with Warren Beatty, which was surreal because I couldn’t believe I was speaking with him at all. And he couldn’t believe I was taking the bus. He drove me to my next meeting. I thought, I rather like Los Angeles. People are very kind.
