Frances McDormand defies Hollywood norms by rejecting the femme fatale and embracing authenticity. Aligning with the everyman and owning her age, she has redefined stardom on her own terms. Three Oscars affirm her path as a fearless, uncompromising anti-star.
Frances McDormand’s career is very different from that of a typical Hollywood star. It took her a long time before she could find out what kind of roles she needed, because filmmakers never managed to lock her into glamour – not even her husband, the film icon Joel Coen. What makes Frances McDormand’s career so unique is that it wasn’t until she was in her fifties that she once again found roles that truly fitted her, and that she was able to fully embrace her feminist “role model” status, that, both on screen and on the red carpet urges a whole industry to rethink both age and the female body in cinema. It finally urges the industry to give actresses the chance to be treated like actors – no more, no less.
