From Eyes Wide Shut to Two Lovers: A Long Time Coming for Vinessa Shaw

Date:

I’ll admit to having only recently taken notice after seeing her in James Gray’s menage a trois, Cannes main competition picture Two Lovers. So I was wondering what kind of career path thesp Vinessa Shaw had taken since her forever infamous bit role in Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. Among the titles with a bit more clout, she had another small role in Woody Allen‘s Melinda and
Melinda
, and as of late she had a larger role in Alexandre Aja‘s 2006 The Hills Have
Eyes
and 2007’s James Mangold‘s 3:10 to Yuma. This steady climb now includes an indie drama set in L.A called Garden Party – (we have a look at the poster below).

In limited released July 11th by Roadside Attractions, written and directed by Jason Freeland, this is about a collection of lost souls who search for fame and fortune in the city of angels to only would up in other, less alluring career choices.
