Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin Team Up to Discuss A Prairie Home Companion

Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin play Yolanda and Rhonda, the singing Johnson Sisters, in the comedy movie A Prairie Home Companion, also starring Kevin Kline, John C Reilly, Lindsay Lohan, and Woody Harrelson. Directed by Robert Altman and written by Garrison Keillor, the film tracks the final performance of a radio variety show and how each of the show's stars handle the drama of putting on a great performance before the curtain falls for the last time.

Talking about Robert Altman's style of directing, Tomlin said it's all about the fluidity of the camera. "You're never performing for the camera, or that the camera is looking right at you. You’re not stopping and starting…[Bob's] so unflappable. He's so even. He's not uproarious about something. He's not crestfallen about something. He accepts whatever is presented to him, yet he's cast it so well and he's involved with Garrison and it allows you to just be [you]." Read On...

Bonnie Hunt Discusses Cars
Sally the Porsche comes to life on the big screen in the animated comedy, Cars, courtesy of Bonnie Hunt's vocal talents. Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche 911, is just one of the residents of the sleepy little town of Radiator Springs where the action in Disney/Pixar's latest collaboration takes place.

Cars marks Hunts third Pixar experience and Hunt has nothing but praise for the company. “I'll tell you when I first met Pixar, I felt I met this creative oasis in the middle of a business that I dreamed of being in as a little girl," said Hunt. "When I first worked at Pixar over 10 years ago and each movie takes 4 or 5 years – this is my third film with them – there is just a lot of talent there and a respect of talent. It's all about story and character and the process and nurturing it. Besides, these people are obviously tenacious and passionate and responsible. They are great storytellers. I do these movies because I love working with them."
