Rosanna Arquette – Up Close and Personal
Rosanna has a passion about educating people about GMOs. She believes that organic food is wonderful but expensive. “The food industry should make it more affordable” she says. As a result it “makes it more difficult for our children and everyone in general to eat healthier.”
Do Hollywood actresses wake up all glamorous? “Um, no. I wake up, I may need my roots re-done, haven’t had my coffee yet and my day starts. Like everyone else.” There is this expectation and assumption from many on the outside looking in that working actors are supposed to be like they are in the movies in their everyday life, but that is completely false and could not be further away from the truth. There is a reality that gets blurred between the two when looking at the culture of this type of lifestyle.
She stopped working for a couple of years to have her youngest daughter and take time for her family, but she felt something was still off. “I need to re-explore my art”. Back to work she went, slowly here and there fulfilling the puzzle pieces that for her are her life path. She needs to be the creative and a mother, but also wearing all the hats many women wear today, including being a partner and a care giver as well. Rosanna says that in relationships, “I’ll take my 50% of it as long as you do as well so we can communicate and work on things together. That changes the tone of the conversation and helps talk things out”.
