1-MINUTE RESUME FOR GRETCHEN MOL
Gretchen Mol studied at the prestigious William Esper Studio and the
American Musical and Dramatic Academy. While working as a hat check
girl in a restaurant, her future agent discovered her and put her in a
commercial for Coca-Cola, then later McDonald's. Her commercial meal
ticket finally got value-sized with films like: Spike Lee's
Girl 6, Abel Ferrara's
The Funeral, Mike Newell's
Donnie Brasco and Woody Allen's
Celebrity. In 2006, she flaunted severe bangs and her taut ass in
The Notorious Bettie Page, playing the pin-up girl lead.
5 Things:
1. She doesn't have a problem with nudity in films.
2. Mol's brother Jim, an aspiring director, would cast her alongside
his friends in the Super-8 slasher films he would make when they were
kids.
3. She landed her breakthrough role in Miramax film, Rounders, starring Matt Damon, by approaching Harvey Weinstein after a prior rejection from him and said, "No hard feelings, Harvey."
4. She likes red meat and beer, plus reading and yoga.
5. She was once the owner of a beloved pet rabbit named Louis.
Quote:
"It takes longer to read everything that's been written about me than it does to watch all my minutes on-screen."
