Patricia Arquette, 5 things you (maybe) don't know about the Oscar-winning actress: from a very poor childhood to body shaming

When we think of an artist with an award in hand, first and foremost the Oscar, the equation that sees him as happy and contented immediately comes to mind. It's true, some career doors open wide but the distorted and judgmental perception remains, of course. He told it with an open heart a few days ago Patricia Arquetteguest of honor of the festival Series Mania, dedicated entirely to the series. The actress spoke to the public with an open heart and without hesitation, explaining that no, when misfortune, misfortune or trauma happens to you in life, it's not your fault, so even the shame should pack up and move elsewhere. She has long felt unfit (and Hollywood has made the situation worse with impossible beauty standards), but she is now ready to respond in kind and inspire new generations. Here are 5 things we (maybe) didn't know about her life and career.

A childhood in poverty

The actress was born and raised in such poverty that “she didn't even own – in her words – a pair of shoes to go to school”. The domestic environment was free, hippy, without restraints but also full of abuse, from which she escaped as soon as possible. The arguments were also repeated with her mother at a later time and she ended up living with her sister. She was a drifter and had no points of reference, she spent her time in front of the TV but that's how she started watching the great classics and thinking that, after all, cinema could be her path.

Childhood dreams

As a child, however, no, it never crossed her mind to be a street performer like her father or to take the theater stage, she was too shy and introverted. She had convinced herself that she would be an excellent midwife and this career thought of hers accompanied her for a while. Luckily she changed her mind (or the world would have lost her talent).

And Jessica Rabbit arrived

The characters she preferred in the great classics discovered thanks to her mother, in spite of herself, when she moved to Los Angeles, were the misfits, the losers, which – given the family situation – heartened her to the point that every time she returned within the walls servants, with his sister and other relatives he all recited parts of by heart Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Only there did she allow herself to be the woman in red, Jessica.

Who knows if in his heart he wished to be like her, the provocative Jessica Rabbit: «At auditions they told me I was too fat and curvy», he recalls, and received one no after another, until the 1990s. For consistency's sake, since he had punk friends at the time, he even refused to introduce himself as the directors asked. “I have never bowed to the aesthetic standards they wanted to impose on me,” she said. With hindsight you did very well: «One day out of the blue – she recalls – David Lynch called me and took me to a coffee shop on Hollywood Boulevard and brought up the idea of Lost roads with a cool but also normal character. I remember the freedom I felt on set and I decided that I wanted to experience it in life too.”

Patricia Arquette is a professional. Yes, you have already perfected your new film as a director Gonzo Girl with Willem Dafoe and Camilla Morrone but she returned to editing to get her hands on it again. In the meantime she filmed her scenes for the second part of Split, but still has no idea about the broadcast. Don't let it be said that you're bored…
