On Tuesday I was down from 173 lb to 166 ... Probably lost a few more since ...
Anyway, back on topic before this ends up as a "split" topic! |

... and what better way to get it back on track than this E-mail I just received from Madeleine Stowe:
Good morning, Rich
I'm so sorry you haven't kicked this thing, yet. I received your book and it is a delight. It's so meticulous. Thank you for this memento. [bold added by RF] My trip has been delayed for perhaps a week or so. So I am here and will be happy to conduct the interview when you like.
I'll go downstairs, today and hunt up a photo or two. Not sure what I have.
Let me know what you want to do.
Madeleine
The book part thrills me to no end!
Interview no later that tomorrow afternoon ...

Well that's the ultimate compliment! WOW! And anyone who has the book would have to agree that it's a job very well done. That should make you feel better!

Rich,
All of the good questions have been asked, but maybe she can settle the ongoing debate as to whether Uncas and Alice were supposed to be in love with each other in the movie, or did MM want to leave that to the interpretation of the audience? I think that it is the latter, but maybe she knows.
You can also ask her how the heck she stays so young looking!!! I watched "Saving Milly" and she is as young and beautiful as she was in LOTM!!! After 13 years, she is supposed to age a little!!!
Does she have a personal involvement with the fight to find a cure for Parkinson's disease? If so, is that why she decided to portray Milly Kondracke? Tell her that she did a wonderful job as usual! 
That's it for now. BTW, I was just joking about asking her how she stays so young looking, but in my opinion, she hasn't aged!!!
Love,
Kay
PS It is great that she paid you such a wonderful compliment about your book!!!

Hi, Rich,
As Madeleine Stowe - and others - have expressed, quote:
I'm so sorry you haven't kicked this thing, yet.
 and I do hope that you are soon on the road to recovery.
All of the questions that have been submitted are excellent & I look forward to reading your complete interview with Madeleine Stowe - "What an adven'cha!"  You must be SO EXCITED!!!
I am a fan of Ms. Stowe & her work but since this thread is devoted to her role in LOTM, I would just like to express to her how absolutely marvelous she was in the role of Cora Munro.  She was absolute perfection & I cannot imagine anyone else ever bringing the life, the fire & the emotions to this role in the way that she did.
If I could let her know one thing, I would like to tell her that whenever I watch this movie, it is through HER (Cora's) eyes. From the moment that Cora first sees Hawkeye, when he & Chingachcook & Uncas come to their rescue, I don't have to wonder about what Cora is feeling because I feel it myself, through Ms. Stowe's performance. When Hawkeye says, "I'm looking at you, Miss" and we are then treated to that marvelous range of emotions that pass across Cora's face, I can feel what has gone unsaid between them because of the way in which that scene is portrayed. When Hakweye promises Cora that, "I will find you! No matter how long it takes, no matter how far - I will find you!" I can feel Cora's heart breaking as he leaps through the falls into the river below. When Cora reacts with shock and disbelief as she watches Alice fall from the cliff, I sob every time, right along with Cora. 
But by far, my favorite scene is "The Kiss."   As I have publicly stated here many times before...I don't know how much Michael Mann paid Ms. Stowe to shoot THAT scene,  but I would GLADLY have done it for FREE - and I don't care HOW many times we had to shoot it to "get it right!"
I simply cannot wait to read her interview with you!!! |

Wow, I'm really looking forward to this interview. Questions to ask? Did she feel the film was snubbed at the Oscars? Does she think Alice was weak? Was it her impression Alice and Uncas were "in love"? Madeleine was excellent in Saving Milly, Does she want to do more TV, or was that an exception for her? Was that chemistry between DDL and Madeleine just great acting, or are some actors more naturally in tune with other, resulting in more believable performances? Just some suggestions.
Get well, Rich.

One of the things I enjoyed about Ms. Stowe's performance of Cora's character is how much of a lady she is under any kind of pressure. It seems the same is true in real life as well. :)

| I have a question for Madeline Stowe, How come her character and Steven Waddington's Character "Major Heyward" didn't go anywhere as far as on the love front? Why did she have to choose that--to me dull Daniel Day Lewis. Sorry I'm A HUGE MAJOR HEYWARD FAN. I LOVE YOU DUNCAN!!! Why she had to treat Heyward so mean? |

Really enjoyed your interview with Ms.Madeleine Stowe.
She sounds like quite a lady besides being a fine actress. |

Dull, how could you call Nathaniel dull when Duncan was the stuck up, arrogant fool. Cora could envision what a dull, boring, snobbish life she would have if she married this git. Also, and a very important one here, she was not in love with the twit. He looked like a ghost and was not handsome at all. Nathaniel was handsome, brave, strong, smart and she would have a fun, exciting life with him on the frontier. True, there would be more danger but with Nathaniel to protect her, she did not have to worry too much about that. Imagine their kids would be so gorgeous too. Duncan's would be albino's. Sorry, but I am not a fan of Duncan. |
