Poison Ivy Sex Appeal


How does Uma feel about Poison Ivy being her most sexual role? Like did she partially take on the role knowing that Poison Ivy is a sex symbol and a character heterosexual men fantasize about?

reply

I don't think that actors, especially when they're younger and still building their portfolio, really think about the role they're playing. At the time, it was a popular blockbuster that could have helped her career, so she took it.

I think they do put thought into the roles, but sometimes those thoughts are, as you say, more along the lines of, "This will boost my profile," than, "This is a sex-symbol role".

Only possible reason to watch that movie

Yes, I hope someday they release deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes footage of Uma as Ivy.

Her most sexual role? Seems you missed her roles in "Dangerous Liaisons", "Henry & June", and "Even Cowgirls get the Blues"

I’ll have to check those out!
