Her films The Wine of Summer and The Librarian, which she shot in Costa Rica, are in post-production. Harden is filming Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom on HBO, and recently wrapped production on Elsa & Fred, starring the legendary Shirley MacLaine and Christopher Plummer, as well as CBS Films' Get a Job, with Bryan Cranston, Anna Kendrick and John Cho. Her character portraits have been described by critics as 'searing,' 'heartbreaking,' 'inventive,' 'astonishing,' 'authentic' and 'sensuous.' From the glamorous Ava Gardner in Sinatra to artist Lee Krasner in Pollock (for which she won Best Supporting Actress Oscar®) to the down and out Celeste in Mystic River (another Academy Award® nomination), Harden has created a signature style based in character transformation in such films as Miller's Crossing, The First Wives Club, Meet Joe Black, Mona Lisa Smile, The Hoax and Used People.
Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden has forged a remarkable body of work.
