Catherine Keener

Has been close friends with Brad Pitt since they both starred in Johnny Suede (1991) together, and they often attend each other's movie premieres.
Catherine was devastated when famed author Harper Lee, whom she played in कपोटी (2005), refused to speak with her before filming. The author, who had been celebrated author Truman Capote's best friend since childhood, refused to cooperate with the making of the film. Lee did contact Keener after filming, to tell her that she enjoyed the film.
Gave birth to her only child at age 40, a son Clyde Mulroney on June 21, 1999. Child's father is her ex-husband, Dermot Mulroney.
Good friends with actress Jennifer Aniston.
She has appeared in three films that have been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: कपोटी (2005), कैप्टन फिलिप्स (2013) and Get Out (2017).

[on her harshest rejection]: "One director said I just wasn't sexy. It was hard, really hard. I left town for two months with my tail between my legs. But you have to kind of go, okay, maybe I'm not their idea of [sexy], but hell, I can have sex!"
Well, for one thing, I like being a supporting actress. I like to come and go in the film. The interesting characters are very few if you want to be the lead, and they depend on you being beautiful. Since I'm not interested in those parts, the pressure's off, in a way. I'm not cast for my physicality. I find that playing so many characters in so many films is a way to be in the moment.
Luck favors the prepared.
Well, the day I got nominated, I had jury duty, a D.U.I. case. The morning the nominations were announced, I reported to jury duty as scheduled. That was good; it gave me perspective. If you start feeling too important, it's always good to go sit in a jury for a D.U.I. charge.
