Amanda Seyfried has read "Ordeal"!!!

This is what Amanda Seyfried had to say about Ordeal:

She said she was not bothered by pornography (“I don’t watch it, but I get it”) and, after reading Lovelace’s “Ordeal” and a follow-up memoir, “Out of Bondage,” had gained a better understanding of a woman who she said was only ever seeking approval, no matter the highly unusual ways she sought it.

Now, Ms. Seyfried said, “I’d want to make her happy.” She continued, “That’s first and foremost what I’d want. I’d want to make her happy if she were alive today.”

I suggest everyone read "Ordeal" to have a better understanding on Linda's life

Sarah Jessica Parker now Gloria Steinem!

"It was a struggle to find the right person to play this key part in such a short period of time," Seyfried says. "It's so frustrating to care about the well-being of someone (Moore) but also try to fill their shoes. It's been such a weird experience."

Seyfried even helped the producers once they zeroed in on Parker.

"I called (Parker's) agent and said: 'I really want her. I know this is all last-minute,' '' Seyfried says. "I knew she'd be amazing."

Parker says that once she took the part, the two spoke by phone — and the activist was positive about the casting.

Steinem "was very generous," Parker says. "I don't know if someone was telling her to be polite. And of course I hadn't done anything at the time, so it was theoretical."

Her first scene was the 1980 meeting between the former Linda Lovelace and Steinem in Steinem's Ms. magazine office. Wearing a tan maxi-sweater that went to her calves and a long blond wig, the Sex and the City star spoke her first line as cameras rolled: "Hi Linda, I'm Gloria Steinem."

Parker says that evoking the famous name and the lengthy dialogue scene that followed was "a baptism by fire."

"It's one thing to appear, but to actually have to announce in the 11th hour of a movie that I'm Gloria Steinem, that was a little intimidating."
