I believe this was referred to as "swag" at some point, but there is probably a politically correct term for it now, like, "promotional items" or "free shit." Anyway, Patricia Clarkson is in a class that includes Frances McDormand, Joan Allen and Toni Collette. Her presence in a movie is a magnet for other actors. I'm sure she'll only improve with age. <strong>Alex</strong>: As of late, when I lift anything verbatim, I cite the publication it originated from. However, reading back over my Patricia Clarkson post, I can see what happened. I credited Hollywood Interview as a source, but that acknowledgment did not come up front. It surfaced in the last paragraph. I can easily see how a passer-by would think I mirrored something you reported on first. I've since clarified you as a source, while installing a hyperlink directly to your blog as well. Hollywood Interview has been an excellent source for quotes, so I'm eager to give credit where credit is due.

I don't mind you using our site as research source, but would greatly appreciate being credited, just as I'm sure you would if the shoe were on the other foot! Respectfully, Alex Simon Co-Editor The Hollywood Interview.com Dear Joe,

Very nice article–with every quote from P.C. taken from my interview with her in March of 2008, which was the cover story of that month’s Venice Magazine, a local L.A. publication, but that you most likely found on my website, The Hollywood Interview. I don’t mind you using our site as research source, but would greatly appreciate being credited, just as I’m sure you would if the shoe were on the other foot!

Respectfully,

Alex Simon

I've been nuts about Patricia Clarkson since I saw High Art, and I'm man enough to admit that I'd seen The Dead Pool at least twice (and The Untouchables, which I thought was schmaltzy and dull, once) before seeing High Art, and had no clue who this spectacular "new" talent was. Yes, I'm a dumbass. I love stories like Clarkson's b/c as an artist of a certain age (which would be 47, I'm dead certain), I cling to the idea that my time may yet come where what I do best and love to do best also becomes something I not only get to do a lot, but get paid handsomely for. (I know she's not a Big Box Office name, but I also have an idea of what she must make per picture, and that'd be dandy by me.) Thank you for writing this little well-researched valentine.
