Katie is gracing the cover of the February 2012 issue of InStyle Australia and she looks gorgeous as always. Will try to have scans up as soon as I can!
In One for The Money you are a self-styled bounty hunter pursuing a former flame, and you needed to handle a gun, drive an ice truck and pick a lock with conviction. Good times? “It was fun. It took some getting used to, doing these things, admittedly. We went to a range to practice shooting and it was exhilarating. I was actually a pretty decent shot. The character is from small-town New Jersey, brave and bold, but in over her head. That’s what makes you root for her.”
Were you required to study back-to-back episodes of Jersey Shore to nail the blue-collar Jersey accent? “As soon as I knew I was doing the movie I downloaded the whole season on iTunes, and realised that none of them are actually from Jersey. But then I was hooked and had to watch the whole thing. My character’s accent is very specific, so I got a dialect coach. He would write it down the way it would sound, adding lots of a’s and w’s to everything.”
The character is tracking down someone from her past. Before you were married, did you ever reach out to erstwhile loves? Or have any ever tried to contact you over the years? “Yes. No. Yes. A year after high school I tried to get my high-school boyfriend to date me again. I had relocated from Connecticut to Los Angeles and was really striking out in the dating department. And I remember thinking, ‘My high-school sweetheart was kind of great. I wonder if he would take me back?’ But it didn’t work out [laughs]. Oh well. It worked out for me in the end.”
Katie’s been making the talk show rounds and she was on The Today Show January 24 and The View on January 23. Big thanks to my friend Jessica for The View screencaptures. I’ve also added screencaptures of the One For The Money trailer plus some stills to the gallery as well.
Katie attended the “One For The Money” NYC Premiere last night and I’ve added photos to the gallery. She looked absolutely stunning as always. I really can’t wait to see this movie! I’m a huge fan of the books and Katie seems perfect.
I’m working on playing catch up with the gallery and I’ve begun this by adding scans of the January 2012 issue of Elle to the gallery. Katie looks absolutely stunning!
