Robin Wright has recently overhauled just about every aspect of her life.
In August, she filed for divorce from Sean Penn, shedding his last name and putting an end to a turbulent 20-year relationship, during which they broke up reconciled at least three times. Shortly thereafter, she moved back to L.A. (with kids Dylan, 18 and Hooper, 16) after 12 years of raising a family in Marin County, near San Francisco.
Her new home, in Santa Monica, happens to be on the exact same eucalyptus-shaded street where she lived 25 years ago while shooting her breakthrough role, in 1987’s “The Princess Bride.”
Newly single and embracing her talent, Robin Wright reclaims the spotlight in two films. She first appears with Jim Carey in “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” which came out in theaters November 6.
She then appears in “The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee.” where she plays a married woman who looks back on her life, in a star-packed ensemble drama featuring Julianne Moore, Keanu Reeves, Blake Lively, and Alan Arkin. This movie comes to theaters November 27.
Wright seems exhilarated about starting over, both personally and professionally. She feels like she’s just reaching her peak, and she’s hoping to broaden her big-screen persona. “I want to do something else, other than the internal, stoic, depressed wife where the husband’s f—king around on her and she wants to kill herself,” says Wright. “I want to do comedy, like a contemporary “Annie Hall” with Robert Downy,”
Suddenly, hopes and dreams are pouring out of her. “I want to work. I want to direct. I want to live. I want to be known.” She said. (Pause) “By me.” (Pause) “Finally.”
