Eclipse Magazine Gwendolyn Edwards Interview

“Playing Eveline McCord-Adams made a big impact on me and she is the reason I am a film actress today. I really look forward to a chance to get to play a role like this again. To play a character I am really proud of.” Gwendolyn Edwards tells Eclipse Magazine via a phone interview with the leading lady of the hit Indie film The Last Confederate, which is being released on DVD today after having a very strong showing on the festival circuit taking top honors including Best Actress nominations for Gwendolyn Edwards at the Los Angeles Indie Film Awards. Gwendolyn Edwards, who is making her debut in her first ever screen role is an up and coming new star with the grace and ethereal beauty the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Meryl Streep. Like those Hollywood leading ladies, Edwards also has a strong presence and charisma that literally leaps off the screen in her role as Eveline in The Last Confederate. Eclipse Magazine had the opportunity to talk to Gwendolyn Edwards about this role and about being a part of something so steeped in history and drama.

“It’s a true story of actual events that being told by the descendents of the people the story is about,” Gwendolyn Edwards tells us about the movie. The Last Confederate is the true story of Robert Adams as Southern Plantation owner who becomes a Captain in the Confederate Army during the Civil War and his love for Eveline McCord, a school teacher from the North who is kind, caring and strong willed. Eclipse Magazine asked Gwendolyn how playing this role based on a real person during real events of the American Civil War affected her.
