But now that I think of the book, Daisy is a sort of Enigma. She is not a real person, she is always some one else's concept or perception of her. So playing the character must be difficult, particularly if as you say, even Miss Mulligan has problems with it. Jordan comes off as much more interesting than Daisy even in the book.
I think all the women in the film are much more interesting than Daisy only because you have an idea of twho they are (though they are still almost afterthoughts). LIke you say Daisy is a sort of an enigma and she's definitely presented as a contruct of Gatsby's vision of her or her husbands. She seems to be whoever she's with in the moment. Gatsby is holding onto this vision of the Daisy he knew and overlooks the reality of her now.
What Delilah did this to you?
I blame magic. Magic was always Clark's undoing.
Mr. Welling is traveling the country, first Austin and now Cleveland with the Indians, and then Las Vegas? His life is just one Long Road trip these days.
I have a feeling his agent finally woke up and thought "We need to get money off this dude." They surely told him that he should audition for jobs that shoot out of state so he can get free trips. That would've been my pitch. "You travel; I get my 15%. Win/Win"
