OLD STUFF:

Ms. McCormack has been in several shows at the Royal National Theatre, in London, England.

2001

Spy Game, starring Brad Pitt, Robert Redford, and Catherine McCormack has now been released! (Note: It's now available on VHS/DVD)

Evi Quaid, Producer and Director, has recently completed editing her feature, The Debtors. She did her post production at Saul Zaentz Studios, in Berkeley, CA.

Ms. McCormack is currently performing theatre in London. She is currently in Lie of The Mind, playing at The Donmar Warehouse. Also, she is replacing Nicole Kidman in the film, The Cut, an erotic thriller co-starring Geoffrey Rush. Ms. Kidman will remain a co-producer on the film.

She has also taken a step toward directing as she recently completed her first short film.

Please go Here for a few pictures and to read an interview with Catherine.


2000
Ms. McCormack is hard at work as always and her current project includes the film, "The Tailor of Panama", based on the novel by John Le Carre. Co-stars in this film include Pierce Brosnan and the wonderful playwright, Harold Pinter. She has also completed the films, "The Weight of Water" as well as "Shadow of the Vampire". Last November/December, Ms. McCormack debuted in London's West End, playing the lead in Anna Weiss.

1999
On personal details, while it is rumoured she and Mr. Joseph Fiennes are no longer an item, I do not have any information on this and prefer not to. These talented actors are private citizens and deserve to live a quiet, invasion-free life. The BBC Radio 4 play, Villette, aired in April 1999. Ms. McCormack and Joseph Fiennes were voice talents for this play based on Charlotte Bronte's novel. The play is available for purchase through the Amazon.co.uk website, Amazon UK

The price is $8.99, British Pounds. If you need a currency converter, please go to: Oanda

Most of Ms. McCormack's films (including the recent film, The Land Girls) may be purchased through Amazon.com: Amazon USA

Ms. McCormack is on the cover of the Feb. 1999 issue of Tatler Magazine!

Yes, yes, it's true that Catherine and Joseph Fiennes (Elizabeth, Shakespeare in Love) are an item. They are very private people and have kept mum about their relationship. So let's just wish them much happiness and hope the media don't get too crazy over it...

Workwise, the two completed a radio play last September for the BBC that is slated for Spring 1999. It's "Vilette", a novel written by Charlotte Bronte.


Ms. McCormack has completed filming "The Debtors", with Randy Quaid and Michael Caine. This feature film is under first-time director, Evi Quaid, also Randy's wife. I don't know what she is doing at the moment, but I hope she's getting some much deserved holiday time. 1998 was some year for her, what with the release of three movies!

In the 4-10 January 1999 issue of Weekly Variety, Sony Classics bought half page ads for the actors in "Dancing At Lughnasa" to promote them as Oscar nominees. Meryl Streep was touted for the Best Actress Award and Catherine McCormack, along with her co-stars, Brid Brennan, Kathy Burke, Sophie Thompson, were touted for the Best Supporting Actress nominees! Michael Gambon was also mentioned for the Best Supporting Actor nomination.

1998
From the 6 December 1998 edition of World Entertainment News Network, Ms. McCormack commented on the lack of serious roles offered her:

She says, "I didn't work for eight months after Braveheart. Every part I was sent seemed to be for tragic women with long hair. So I got my hair cut and sat around because I wanted to do films with strong women in them and have something to say."

Ms. McCormack attended the film premiere/cancer benefit (hosted by InStyle Magazine) of "Dancing at Lughnasa" along with Meryl Streep and other co-stars on Monday, 9 November 1998 at the Sony Lincoln Plaza, NYC. Ms. McCormack was sporting a stylish short haircut and looked great!

In the 8 November, 1998 Sunday Newspaper Insert of Parade Magazine, there is a brief article written by Ms. Jane Ciabattari, about Meryl Streep and her co-stars learning Irish accents for the film, "Dancing At Lughnasa". Here is a small excerpt from that article with quotes by Ms. McCormack:

Streep, with her gift of accents, was the star pupil. "There's a lot of Irish in American rhythms and intonations," said McCormack. "It was tougher for the three of us who are English." (Brid Brennan is Irish) The five studied Irish dancing too. "Our dance was choreographed, but we end up looking like we never danced before," said McCormack. "It was not supposed to be like Riverdance, all pointy toes. It was supposed to be earthy, spontaneous."
