She’s perhaps one of the more controversial starlets to come out of Hollywood. Evan Rachel Wood shocked audiences with her raw and disturbing performance of an out-of-control teenager in the film Thirteen that she did when she was actually thirteen, adding a more disturbing element to her performance. In the film she takes drugs, gets into a fist fight, has sex, fights with her mom, and makes out with co-star and Twilight alum Nikki Reed. Her graphic portrayal had definitely got her noticed. Since then, her off-screen life has gotten more notice than her professional life. Hooking up with then married shock rocker Marilyn Manson whom she’s still seeing to this day. Who knew this gamine ingenue had a dark and scary side. Well, we will get to see that side this June when she makes a two-episode arc on the returning HBO hit True Blood.
Yup, the paper-pale actress is set to play a really old 15-year-old Creole vampire in the hit series that debuts it’s second season in a couple of months. In it, she’ll be portraying a queen bee of sorts, a powerful vamp that wreaks havoc on the town of Bon Temps. Since she already looks like she sleeps in a coffin, it seems like a perfect fit for her. And don’t turn your nose up on this just because it’s TV. The show is helmed by Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball who won an Oscar for writing American Beauty and stars Academy Award winner Anna Paquin, who picked up an award for Best Actress for the role in last January’s Golden Globe Awards. So clearly it’s a quality project that will definitely get a lot of buzz.
What I’m really interested in is if, considering the show’s propensity towards nudity and topless babes (Anna, Cloverfield’s Lizzy Caplan, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s leading lady Lynn Collins have all bared their boobs on the show) Evan will do the same. But with just a two ep appearance, I doubt that will happen. Not because she’s shy about showing tit, since she did it in Across The Universe, but maybe because it’s not that big of a part. But hey, a chance to see Evan do something completely out there is definitely something worth seeing. So until June comes around, get your Evan Rachel Wood fix right here, a site that lets you in on what Hollywood stars are ashamed of. Like fucking Marilyn Manson.
