About Pollock
Pollock chronicled the short, tumultuous life of innovative painter Jackson Pollock (1912–1956).
Madigan played flamboyant art patron Peggy Guggenheim, one of the first to champion Pollock's work. Her husband, Ed Harris, directed Pollock and was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in the title role.
"The first movie about a painter to transcend the gushing clichés found in movies that try to unravel the mysteries of artistic creation," said the New York Times.
About Amy Madigan
Amy Madigan has starred in Places in the Heart, Riders of the Purple Sage, Field of Dreams, and Louis Malle's Alamo Bay. She was nominated for an Oscar for Twice in a Lifetime, and she received a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her work in Roe vs. Wade. She currently plays Iris Crowe on the HBO series "Carnevàle."
