MEXICO CITY, March 24 (EL UNIVERSAL).- An Oscar Award, a Golden Globe and three SAG Awards are some of the recognitions that Jessica Chastain has accumulated in her career, and her talent promises more.

The redheaded actress hails from Sacramento, California. She was born on March 24, 1977 and, unlike other actresses who start very young in the world of cinema, Jessica did it at thirty, although in theater the story was different, since at the age of 20 she began to participate in various plays Like Romeo and Juliet”.

Chastain’s childhood was not easy and neither was his adolescence. In fact, he rarely talks about the hardest passages of his life, and instead, he prefers to focus on his work and the roles he has played.

A horror film in the style of Guillermo del Toro (of which he was an executive producer), where the “monster” really isn’t that much, despite killing some and frightening others. The story is beautiful and speaks of the enormous love of a mother to take care of her children despite life or death. Chastain gave life to the protagonist’s girlfriend who, after losing her brother, has to take care of her nieces who arrive accompanied by her peculiar “mom”.

The tape tells the story of an evangelical presenter and her husband, personified by Andrew Garfield, who create an emporium that is at risk due to financial mismanagement.

3. “Dark Phoenix” (2019)

5. “The Zookeeper’s Wife” (2017)
