There’s Nothing Trivial About Kathryn

IMDb LogoA few days ago the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) posted a trivia question about the film Moneyball on their Facebook page.  See it HERE.

As with so many good questions the answer they were after was “Kathryn Morris” :-)

The question in question was: This actress was cast as Billy Beane’s second wife in Moneyball, but her scenes were cut from the film. Can you guess the actress?

Many of the commenters got the correct answer but I’m not sure that all of them were taking it seriously.  Betty White?

Of course, I could be wrong :-?   What do you think the correct answer is?

Which actress was cast as Billy Beane's 2nd wife in Moneyball?

  • Kathyrn Morris (89%, 17 Votes)
  • Betty White (5%, 1 Votes)
  • Other (5%, 1 Votes)
  • Jennifer Aniston (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Angelina Jolie (1%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 19

Starpulse Interview With Danny

001I know that many fans of Danny from his Cold Case days check out this site regularly and I like to be able to keep them up to date with major news on his career.  An interview with Danny Pino primarily about his move to Law & Order: SVU would fall normally fall outside even that extension of the remit of this site (see above for details) but I’m prepared to make an additional exception in this case :-)

Brittany Frederick at the entertainment website Starpulse.com has managed to snag herself an interview with Danny.  In it they discuss SVU and Cold Case.  Kathryn gets several mentions as does Danny’s feelings about the way Cold Case ended.  I thought it might be of interest to some, hence the posting about it here.

Danny says that the series finale (the last episode of season 7) was written that way to leave things open for the show if it received another season.  Interviews with Kathryn varied in tone but leaned more towards “we knew it was over”.

You can read interview in full on the Starpulse website.

Thank you to Brittany.

Silly Season Gets An Annual Update

screenshot_001Apparently silly season has its own version of the Indian Summer.  Who knew?  :-)

You and I know this is a stupid story.  Let’s hope that the people of the National Enquirer really know it as well or there really is no hope for civilisation.

For some reason the US tabloid has decided to dredge up the Kathryn/Brad/Angelina story that was first fabricated last year when the movie Moneyball was filming.  But they are not repeating that nonsense.  No, of course not.  Heaven forbid.

Surprisingly late to the party, as Moneyball has been out several weeks, the Enquirer has spotted that Kathryn’s scenes are not in the movie.  I’ll leave it to them, in their own inimitable style, to try explain that cutting Kathryn’s scenes made sense for the movie.  They are not implying anything at all.  Honest.

The article on the National Enquirer website is not available outside the US so I’ve copied the text below.

Update (13 Oct):  ZimGossip is carrying the story on a more widely available site HERE.  Also, Sophie S. Benvenuti at Gather.com has written a similar piece to mine about the National Enquirer article.  You can read her take in this “news” HERE.

Kathryn Filmed 4 Scenes For Moneyball?

screenshot_001Steven Zeitchik, writing for the LA Times website, has some possible extra information regarding Kathryn’s work on Moneyball.

In the article Steven is comparing the fiction with the facts and one of the first he goes for is the issue of Billy Beane having re-married.  In Moneyball Beane’s ex-wife (played by Robin Wright) and their daughter appear, his second wife Tara (Kathryn) and their children are never referred to.  Brad Pitt, as Beane, is seen to be wearing a wedding ring, which has confused some viewers.  Steven goes on to say that Kathryn filmed four scenes and that they even test screened them all.

The information I had (posted about here) from people that saw the first round of test screenings suggests that only one of the scenes was in that edit.  Perhaps Steven is talking about private screenings.

You can read the article on the LA Times website.

The Ladies Of Moneyball

When it comes to baseball women don’t get much of a look in.  When it comes to Moneyball it is all about Brad.

Nicole Sperling of the LA Times has done her homework and recognised that women were originally planned to be far more involved in the movie.

The character of Billy Beane’s daughter (played by Kerris Dorsey) figures extensively in the trailers, so much so that you might believe she has a large role.  She doesn’t.  Robin Wright, as Beane’s first wife, certainly filmed quite a few scenes and even got to appear on the official website after most cast descriptions only included Brad, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jonah Hill.  Only one scene of hers has made it to the big screen.

And we all know what happened to Kathryn’s role.  As Nicole puts it:

In fact, director Bennett Miller axed an entire role from the movie — that of Kathryn Morris (“Cold Case”) as Beane’s second ex-wife, Tara Beane.

You can read Nicole’s piece in full here.

Hopefully the good people at Sony Pictures will see fit to include an Extra on the DVD release of Moneyball with same title as this post to showcase the talents of the ladies of Moneyball.
