Product Information

Minnie Driver has had an extensive cinematic career, during which she has appeared in a wide array of films in meaty parts. In the latter half of the 1990s, she had roles in many critically acclaimed films, including “Hard Rain,” co-starring Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, “The Governess,” and “An Ideal Husband.” She played the part of Lorraine Finster in the long-running television comedy series ‘Will & Grace,’ in which she was a recurring cast member.

In 1990, Minnie Driver had a cameo appearance in an episode of a television series. Her first television advertisement, which aired in 1991 and was for the deodorant brand “Right Guard,” is credited with launching her career.

Minnie Driver, after a few television credits, makes a splash in her film debut as the interesting, endearing center of a circle of friends in 1950s Ireland. She's overweight and unattractive, but while she's self-deprecating, she isn't fishing for compliments or insecure with who she is. She's mature, responsible, intelligent, sensitive, and also happens to be overweight and unattractive. Even with the Catholic Church frightening her, her parents not understanding her, and an unwelcome suitor trying to take the place of the boy she's falling in love with, she never turns bitter, angry, or ugly. She's a truly wonderful character, and the driving force of the film. In the year 2001, Minnie Driver and Josh Brolin broke up their engagement. She is presently engaged to Addison O’Dea, and the wedding is set to take place in 2019. Henry Story Driver, who was born on September 5th, 2008, is another member of the Driver family.

This celebrity's guardedness and walls are way up as we learn very little about Minnie Driver in a disappointing autobiography that only gives glimpses of her life story. There are just 5 or 6 real stories within, the rest of it being small thoughts about different times of her life with few specifics and huge gaps in her timeline. And if you're looking for any insights into her film or TV work you'll find none here because she says nothing about her work on sets and skips most of her productions.

Every actor in this movie gives realistic and powerful performances, and the story will tug on your heart long after you've finished. Certain movies have the feel of a bygone era, and this is one of them. It doesn't quite capture the feeling of the 1950s, but it certainly reminds you of the good old '90s.Petridis, Alexis (2 September 2004). " 'I've taken a pounding' ". The Guardian.

Just before the release of her first book, Driver spoke to W over the phone, calling from her home in Malibu after a morning of surfing in the Pacific Ocean. She got into her writing process, her favorite authors, and whether or not she’ll write some more books in the future. I’ve been a Killing Eve fan, Jodie Comer is a goddess. I’m a big Sex Education fan as well. I love the writing on that show. I’ll watch anything with Julia Garner in it. She was amazing in Inventing Anna.

In two cases the adult stories are fleshed out a bit more. After only hinting at other men in her life, the first is her dating Matt Damon. It is an abnormal revelation that is obviously meant to skewer the famous actor who dumped her without notice. Minnie, all these years later, is still miffed and upset, and Damon looks like a real bad guy. I always want grown-ups to like me but find it difficult to behave in a way that seems to consistently please them. Grown-up love appears to be very conditional, and they are not conditions I can really abide by - not for long, anyway. One minute they’re laughing at the fact that I know what “existential” means and the next moment they’re all “Can you shut up now? You’re really getting on my nerves.” Mum's the Word!
