Today’s Melanie Lynskey’s 31st birthday, and she appears to be quite busy professionally. She’d made appearances on the last two episodes of this season’s The L Word and also had recent return cameos in Two and a Half Men after having previously left the show to do the short-lived TV show Drive.
Now, apparently, she has two movies in the works, a comedy (with no title yet) by Sam Mendes based on a script by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, and a low-budget Steven Soderbergh movie called The Informant. I’m excited. Dave Eggers is a funny dude, and I’m hoping that Soderbergh will some time return to the original greatness of Sex, Lies, and Videotape. Most of his later films (though blockbusters in the box office) have kind of sucked, in my opinion.
Well, go, Melanie; and happy birthday.
She isn’t going to be in The Girlfriend Experience; Soderbergh’s making that film after he finishes work on his latest, The Informant, which Mel *will* be in. She plays Matt Damon’s wife.
Good catch! I guess I got my sources mixed up. I’ll correct the info.
I love your work in Two and a Half men. Your a very tallented acress.
