Chloe Sevigny: How DId Her Career Survive After This?

The only time I have liked her was in Big Love and she played a sneaky bitch

He does have a nice, thick cock. Did she learn how to do this in acting school? Were method actors trained for this, or did she likely learn it in junior high school? I bet her parents were thrilled to see the scene in the movie.

Jennifer zlawerence is still making movies. Mary Rylance won an Oscar and those horrible Kardontcaretolearn howtospelltheirname family have a popular TV show.

I always remember this during the times when everyone -- actresses -- were trying to be shocking. Madonna led the pack. In the midst of this error, we got Showgirls, Striptease, Basic Instank, and this.

It ruined her career. I've always felt bad for her because Vincent is the one that wanted that in the movie.

She probably needs one of those "right down the shitter" threads done on her.

Did Drew Droege stop doing those Chloe videos? Those were hilarious.

[quote] I've always felt bad for her because Vincent is the one that wanted that in the movie.

So, she had no brain? She just openly did a porno scene in a "legit" movie. WTF? When I heard about this scene, I thought it was not an obvious depiction of a blow job, but it is clearly a bj.

What a dumb trick.

The only thing I can think of is if she was high while filming, still she gets no pass.

I must say that I’m thankful a blowjob isn’t necessarily career ending. Can I get an amen.

She was used in a vile way. I'm sure many in the industry lost respect for her and no longer wanted to date her or kiss her on the mouth. With all the hundreds of people involved in making a film and all the handlers, I would have thought at least someone would have spoken up for Chloe, at least as a voice of reason, since she obviously had little wisdom or self respect as an actress.

Didn’t she admit to having real sex with her bf in the movie Kids? The scene where she’s passed out on the couch and the guy has sex with her anyway.

Mr Gallo:

Is that his real cock ?

r3 she didn't go to acting school. She's a rich bitch from Darien, CT and was a club kid. She was party buddies with people in Harmony Korine's orbit and that's how her career as an actress began. She had planned to go into fashion -- when they ran out of K and she tapped her trust fund dry.

I trained for three months at the Gag Reflex University in Saconchin, Colorado to prepare for this scene. Whatever. It was better than the glop on the craft service table.

I don’t often use the word cunt, but I’ll make an exception for her.

She justified this action ( so many prudish gaymen on this thread , all of a sudden.But many do exemplify the "whore/Madonna syndrome in women that they don't fuck far more than the apparently "tasteless" straight men do, but that is by the by) by stating that she and Gallo used to be boyfriend and girlfriend so she was familiar with his cock anyway. Now I'm off to look for a cocksucking thread on here with cum galore!

it didn't

letting that creep talk her iinto blowin him did her no good.

sad

Rotten actress. That scene was her peak.

It's not like she was ever going to get Julia Robert's scripts. "Boy's Don't Cry" was a major part but she's always been from the school of Posey and Lyonne. She would rather be in something "Arty and gratifying" than "Corporate and blockbuster."

Ironically, it's not even a hot sex scene. Neither seemed to be enjoying it or even into it. Just going through the motions and trying to look sexy in a mechanical way. Bad as porn, and bad as acting.

She. Loves. To-ast.

Whatever happened to Vincent Gallo anyway? He always seemed awfully full of himself.

Vincent Gallo was and is a terrible human being. Wishing cancer on Roger Ebert was indicative of who he was, and is.

Wasn’t there a story at the time of release that it was not Gallo’s dick, but rather she was sucking off her boyfriend at the time.

I saw the whole movie, and it really wasn’t so bad.

she looks like that hi school slut that everbody, including the teachers, had..

Wow, R25. That's a good way to dharma yourself into getting cancer of the asshole or shanked in the ballsack.

Its just a blow job. Mark Rylance got a blow job in ‘Intimacy ‘ and went on to work with Spielberg. Venerable old French actor Michel Piccoli wears a pair of knee high, white leatherette platform boots, hangs himself naked and gets a hard on before the rope breaks in ‘ Paris Timbuktu ‘ . Didn’t notice his career suffering either.

She’s fine. Gallo, on the other hand...

James Ransone jerked off in some Larry Clark film and now he’s starring in IT: Chapter Two.

It's funny that a character can be shown onscreen boiling a bunny, throwing a child out the window, or shotgunning someone in the head, and their career marches along just fine ... but suck on a cock and CAREER OVER!

I like Chloe a lot and for someone who got her start in indies she's done very well. News flash: Women and men suck dick -- is there really anything wrong with that?

Bill Paxton was on a media tour with her during Big Love and he would get enraged when all people wanted to talk to Chloe about was that one scene.

No one spoke up for her for a number of reasons. First of all, no one really cared. It was an obvious stunt, it was clearly her choice, she is rather infamously not well liked by her peers, she is not some grand talent to be protected on behalf of the "craft". She is basically just some rich kid from Darien that got "lucky" in an unexpected hit cult film. The reason she was fairly good in Big Love, is because for the most part she was simply playing herself in a prairie dress.

r18, they're Teen Mom Breeder Fraus not gay men. We need an exterminator.

[quote]It's funny that a character can be shown onscreen boiling a bunny, throwing a child out the window, or shotgunning someone in the head, and their career marches along just fine ... but suck on a cock and CAREER OVER!

Except for the obvious part you left out: the first three examples are all simulated, but she really did suck a dick on screen. If an actor actually threw a child out a window, I think it's safe to say that many careers would be over as a result. No judgment from me if she wants to suck a dick, but it's basically pornography, which is a different kind of movie making. It was a stupid and extremely ill advised risk on her part.

You're analysis says more than you know, r34 -- It's interesting that you equate sucking dick with acts of extreme violence, as if it also needs to be simulated because it's too ghastly to be done for real! lol

^ Your

Throwing a child out a window is in no way equivalent with a blow job, you complete nutbag. Go back to your Breeder Frau Forum.

Jesus, so many of you have short memories. It was hardly like she was a multi award winning actress at the time. She didn't have some grand fucking reputation to uphold or risk losing. STUNT MOVE TO GET HER NAME OUT THERE aka no such thing as bad publicity. Why all the pearl clutching over her sucking a cock on screen. IS THIS STILL A GAY BOARD?

r38, no, it isn't. Go look at the fucking 'For those of you who have children..." thread. We have been infested with Teen Mom trash.

R39 You are right, and I am seeing it on nearly every thread. HOW DO WE FIX THIS?!

Yeah, I know, MARY! But this situation is really ruining my DL experience. For all of the bumps in the road over the years, I've never seen it so...dull witted, pearl clutchy, and frau infested.

r40 Agreed! It's awful. The entire tone of the board has changed. The stupids are everywhere! I was thinking of starting a DL Mastadon instance for real DLers. Muriel should doing something to prevent all these nits from getting in.

Muriel deleted my demographic poll....

Seriously r42? She deleted a poll of mine (unrelated) as well as another thread that people had been enjoying. Maybe it isn't really Muriel now, but a pod person Muriel?

I like Chloe and think she's a good actress who always knew she was not going to be a "star" so there was no pressure as to what she was supposed to do or not do.

Vincent Gallo, on the other hand, is a vile human being who bragged about being a right wing racist asshole. Thankfully, he seems to have disappeared from the public consciousness.

R30 the only I know him is I thought he was a hot, boy-next-door cop in Sinister.

I found out he did that jackoff scene and my throat has envied his hand ever since 😒.

[quote]Throwing a child out a window is in no way equivalent with a blow job, you complete nutbag. Go back to your Breeder Frau Forum.

Who are you responding to, Miss R37?

[quote]Is that his real cock ?

They swore it was, but some guy came forward claiming he was the "stunt cock" in that scene. I only remember because I thought that "stunt cock" had the potential to be one of the great movie credits of all time.

She is a bit player who has passed her sell by date. She has very few options left as an actress until she ages.,then she'll be cool again.

r48 I would argue that she was never cool. Maybe in her own mind.

Gallo is the one who showed his erect cock, OP.

I've always like Chloe Sevengy. I really enjoyed her in AHS especially when she got all her legs cut off and had to crawl up that stair way.

She was also good on "Bloodline."

She can be forgiven for sucking cock on the big screen. She cannot be forgiven for making it seem like work.

The more clout you have as an actress, the less you are shown topless, naked, engaged in explicit sex, etc. I noticed on The Sopranos that the more established actresses were not shown topless, etc., whereas the less established actresses were shown topless.

I feel bad for CS just for the fact that Vincent Gallo seems like an asshole. Yes, I realize she had a choice.

The posters here pretending that sucking dick in a feature film is no big deals are probably like the writers in Teen Vogue & Cosmo instructing teen girls how to have anal sex & threesomes.

They’re pornified which is great for them but not quite yet mainstream. They’re certainly pushing for it though...if they respond to my post, I’m sure it will be calling me a pearl clutching frau though I’m not.

I have to say it looks like a prosthetic especially with the angle changing and cuts in the scene.

R29 Mark Rylance was cute when he was young.

R57 - he wasn't (young or cute) in Intimacy.

I would hardly characterize that scene in Intimacy as a blow job. Kerry's mouth comes into contact with Mark's flaccid dick which then remains flaccid which under cut the scene badly. They were supposed to be in the throws of passion but Mark wasn't doing anything but indicating. Very embarrassing scene for both these wonderful actors.

R45 Same.

As for Chloe she will ride the "it girl" thing of the 90s til the day she dies. last I saw here was on The Mindy Project. theres something about her voice too.

I liked her in American Psycho - the film was better than the book, which like its author, is gag inducing.

I head the penis in The Brown Bunny was a prosthetic, R56.

"It is an ART film. I wish people would see it for what it is - tragic and beautiful. It's like an Andy Warhol movie. I love Vincent. Sigh."

I remember the bitches on The View gave her a hard time because of the scene and I could tell she didn’t want to talk about it. It should be our goal in life not to be like the bitches on The View.

I like her. Only Julia Roberts can be Julia Roberts. I can see her being a good character actress for the rest of her life...

She isn't aging well. Every new movie I see her in, she looks frumpier and frumpier. Was the blowjob scene really what killed her career or was it badly aging in a shallow, sexist industry?

R53, in fairness to Chloe, her character is actually DEAD during this scene. The whole concept of the film, at least as I remember it, is that Gallo can’t come to terms with his girlfriend’s death from an OD. When she finally appears at the end, she is some kind of hallucination or vision from the beyond.

No one can possibly take her seriously as an actress now. It wasn’t high art - it was a blowjob given to a gross looking guy. Let the pornographers do shit like that. I want actors and actresses to act, not have real sex on screen. A line was crossed. Her clothes are ugly too. She thinks that she’s edgy and forward thinking...she allowed herself to be exploited by Gallo. And she cannot take it back. She can’t. She just can’t, can’t, can’t...

Stallone was in an actual porn movie and he didn’t suffer for it.

R62: Freudian slip

R68, soft core ,dear. Big difference.

Mark Rylance has a nice dick.

I would have sucked it.

R70 still porn, hard core or soft, not a ‘serious’ film

I object to the notion of some posters that others made her do it or coerced her or are responsible for her actions onscreen. I'm on Team Camille Paglia - the scene is hers to own. She read the script, accepted the role and enacted what was written. I'm sure her agent read it as well. End of story. If she were smart she's just laugh it off. Moral of the story - don't participate in your own degradation. It might have played differently if it weren't aesthetically ugly.

It’s ok if it’s integral to the story and not gratuitous like in porn.

Sucking cock never hurt OUR career!

"I'm a STUD, not a SLUT!"

Because OP, she's white with blonde hair and blue eyes. THE BEST kind of white!

Ironic that someone in a gay site would regard sucking cocks a degradation. If it’s indeed degradation, bring it on !

She is no "has-been". She is a successful, working actress with a impressive resume. Enough with the pearl clutching...

R78 it's only degrading if she is considered attractive/thin by white gay men and or if the man is unattractive. If she is fat, ugly well it's just funny. Why? Because anyone of us can do a better job on that dick than some fat cow lol.

That’s not Gallo’s cock. It’s a prosthetic stolen from a Claire Denis film. Look at how he’s holding in place.

She's always had a weird, mentally challenged look that lends itself well to certain types of roles. I think her career continued after this because what she did was really just very stupid. There's no crime in being an idiot. And she WAS an idiot, allowing herself to be filmed sucking some slimy actor's cock. It's not like she's a porn actress, where that would have been business as usual. She's supposedly a "legitimate" actor, so why would she do something so degrading? I guess she's as dumb as she looks.

Oh the poor helpess, little white girl actress. All of you pitying her? You'd suck that too only to bitch about how you were "used". You show such disdain for anyone simply unattractive by YOUR standards, too vapid to look with in. SHE DID THE SCENE BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO. HER WORDS. No I'm not a Frau nor am I a "Lipstick alley" person (your code word for saying a "black person" I presume?) but every white actress you like or take a shine to.....you act like she's so fucking helpless and delicate.

If she enjoyed sucking it, is it still degrading ?

[R78] Don't twist my words. I wasn't saying that sucking cock is inherently degrading. It's clear that I meant sucking a cock on camera for the whole world to see - including your family, friends, peers and strangers - isn't going to build up respect or prestige. An act that will degrade one's respect and prestige = degrading. Got it? And doing it the service of a shit movie that was almost universally panned just makes it worse - egg on your face as well as cum on your face. Blech.

To all those calling out people for being prudish--Would you all find it acceptable if she actually took a shit on camera? After all, that's something we all do every day and is natural. Or would that be degrading? Do you think it would be acceptable for CS or any actor to literally take a shit on camera rather than just acting out the shit?

Sevigny:

[quote] I got my first studio film after that. I’d never been offered a studio film. It was Zodiac. I don’t think it really hurt me, necessarily.

She also did the role she’s probably most famous for (on the show BIG LOVE) after that....so the idea that it stalled her career is ridiculous.

And the show ran for years....bringing her a Golden Globe.

You'd think Chloe would be celebrated on DL - she loves giving blowjobs and hasn't had kids (yet).

I love Chloe. Always enjoy her character roles. She has an impressive resume that many actors would kill for, and continues to choose interesting projects. And I love the to-ast videos.

If a blow job happens in a movie and nobody sees it, does it make any real sound?

No.

WHO IN FUK IS SHE?

A celebrated actress

known as the whore of hwood

[quote][R30] the only I know him is I thought he was a hot, boy-next-door cop in Sinister.

R30 Man, he has NOT aged well. He’d still get it because he’s a Stern fan and cute but yeah...

Also, Stallone is a man and that film was released 5 years before "Rocky."

She was in this series that I cannot remember the name of about an Irish transsexual hit woman. It was fun and I was sorry that it didn't get a second season. It ended very abruptly. I have always admired her style. Vincent Gallo has an asshole rep. He rages against different people all the time and it is very humorous. He was offering up sex to impregnate a woman for like a 100,000.00 or some other ridiculous thing.

OP here.

I tried to pose the question as simple as possible. My attempt was to be as ambiguous as I could without revealing any judgement. It was merely a question.

I'm a fan of Sevigny. Loved her in Big Love, and most recently in Bloodline. Just amazed that her appearance in "Bunny" DIDN'T sideline her career, and curious how she was able to overcome it. i wanted fellow DL'ers opinions.

That's all. Thanks!!

It was a prosthetic.

It is clearly a prosthetic.

FAKE DICK.

The all Chloe had to say to those View bitches is I’m here to promote Big Love it is none of your business but the dick was fake.

The movie he did before this with Christina Ricca was very well received.

Did Chloe or anyone involved with Big Love get a Emmy nomination ?

I remember Bill Paxton and Michael C Hall were up for the same award when Hall won Paxton supposedly said it was because of cancer. Years later Paxton is dead and Hall is very much alive. Kinda ironic.....

Is Chloe a lesbian?

It seems like she is.

She hates Kennifer Lawrence so that makes her cool to me!

I like her-she's a true indie girl.

With impeccable taste.

Very nice.

That little sliver of a home office is cool. You don’t actually need much space to sit down and work, just a truly separate spot to consolidate your stuff!

It was probably once a butler’s pantry.

Disgrace! her old place in the village had two lovely Morrissey prints what the hell happened to her?

She has left the church of Steve M.

Chole is cool as fuck!

I hope she works with Martin Scorsese again-love her.

Once you start sucking cock there is no limit to how far your career will go.

It's just common sense.

I don’t like the decor.....cold and uncomfortable. Would you like to actually live in that space if anywhere other than NYC? I suppose it hits all the cool buttons. It IS like her...bland, cool ish at first glance, but Unlikeable and cold.

How did Intimacy affect Kerry Fox rep and career among her peers and in industry?

To me, she has always seemed a gutsy talented poor man's Judy Davis.

Presumably Fox' career was more on the line than Rylance's at the time in that filmic 'choice'? She seems to have had more industry and peer respect or credibility at that point on her timeline CV than Sevigny did in her case or since - more to lose than Chloe had to gain by comparison?

She comes across as the Brooklyn counterpart to Parker Posey, except Posey has a wider range and can do comedy. Chloe is always going to play characters who seem to be one disappointment away from a straightjacket. I love that she has some queen who does YouTube parodies of her

I always assumed her career goal was not to be “safe” or achieve broad appeal or the super hero roles, but I could be wrong.

To me the acting was not degrading. It was more real, organic, less thought out than say, the Boogie Nights scene, which was laughed at. I wonder if they were thinking less about pushing boundaries and more about practicality and achieving authenticity. The scene is unattractive, because from what I gather from the plot, the male character had become contemptuous of her memory, or he was trying to relive a sexual fantasy of her in his mind, but the ugliness of the way he treated her and how she died intruded into his subconscious and transformed the fantasy into something grotesque. It’s probably a Last Tango thing. The French would get it. So sad sex is still seen as dirty, here of all places!

She fled Brooklyn and is back living in Manhattan. I never understood why she left in the first place. She's really not the Brooklyn type.

R114: Oh please. It isn't art. It's a blowjob. And it would be less of a big deal if she didn't try to explain it away or back away from it. It would be more remarkable if she took a facial or ate his cum.

[quoter]No one can possibly take her seriously as an actress now.

What a load of crap. Her first role was in Larry Clark's Kids. She's always been an indie girl doing weird roles. Still, she's contantly getting mainstream roles as well as you can at IMDb. I wouldn't say she's my favorite actress nor that she's got the greatest range out there but she does what she does well, and you always get a solid performance.

I really liked her in Those Who Kill, a one season cop / serial killer series a few years back. I've yet to see Lizzie, where she plays Lizzie Borden and apparently has an affair with Kristen Stewart's character.

That show was awful. She’s better off without it.

r108 - why do you call her "chole"? Oh dear.

[quote]Vincent Gallo, on the other hand, is a vile human being who bragged about being a [bold]right wing racist asshole[/bold].

His words or yours?

Gallo's a gross human, and admits it. That interview that the guy taped and Gallo freaked out told the truth and I've listened to it.

Some highlights from the interview: according to Gallo, Scorsese is a hack who hasn't made a good movie in 30 years, Sofia Coppola is a slutty whore who bangs anyone, Francis her father is a disgusting pig, Spike Jonze is a worthless dumb jew, etc, etc ... it's a tremendous listen.

And he was in love with Chloe, I think. he was also jealous of harmony korine, perhaps both for his glowing rep as hip auteur and dating Chloe years after Gallo and her first hooked up. Gallo once said Sevigny was a drunk who spends her free time "passing around Harmony Korine's herpes."

I think C-Hole is a fabulous actress and should be treated as such.

[quote]I don’t often use the word cunt, but I’ll make an exception for her.

Because she gave a blowjob on camera? I didn't realize DL was full of such delicate flowers.

It is shocking to me that anyone finds those youtube parody videos funny. They are unbearable.

Would you share that itw, R121? Where is it?

Isn't Chloe gay but won't come out?

Like gay Gallo, no kids for her never been married and she's 44 years old.

Chloe Sevigny wouldn't be able to get a guest spot on TV shows such as NCIS: New Orleans, Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, and Blue Bloods because of the whole Brown Bunny spectacle.

No, R126, that is not accurate. She’s not totally straight, either, but she prefers men from all I’ve heard.

I prefer her over Lena Dunham and Tawney Kitean...

She is a pretty great actor with a great screen presence.

How’s her Lizzie Borden? She seems like a good fit, with the flat affect she possesses.

[quote]Chloe Sevigny: How DId Her Career Survive After This?

My career survived? It did?

Thanks!

I am always happy to see her show up in anything I am watching.

Loved her in Big Love...it was a great cast anyway.

It's not a big deal ffs. So she gave a real blow job to Vincent Gallo in a movie ages ago. So what? People give and are given blow jobs every day, and? It's bad because it's filmed? It's 2018, not 1958. I can't believe how self-righteous and judgmental some of you are about this.

Chloe's had an impressive career for someone that started out in the indie scene, and it looks like she will be working for decades to come. She never looked for a mainstream career, and not being hired on NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, or other mainstream shows is not keeping her up at night.

I can't tell Chloe and Billie Lorde apart. Are we sure they aren't the same person?

[R11] said: ".I'm sure many in the industry lost respect for her and no longer wanted to date her or kiss her on the mouth."

WTF are you thinking? That she never spit or brushed her teeth in all the years after that bj? Or that the rest of Hollywood is full of coy virgins and women who only allow marital intercourse missionary style?

Geez, some people...

I thought she was great in Big Love. I remember one episode where her character is scandalized when she finds out that Bill engaged in cunnilingus with one of the sister-wives. And that was AFTER the Gallo movie.

The Chloe-hating pearl clutches here are really something else.

Look, she’s not the best actress, but she’s hardly the worst. She fell into a scene and got lucky. She has pretty good taste. She can seem cool and distant, but she’s not exactly a bitch. She’s not hated by every one of her colleagues, as someone else said.

She’s not a dynamo, out-size character like Parker Posey, but she’s good enough at what she does. And if she EVER ran out of acting work, she can get fashion deals for years to come. That’s actually how she makes most of her money.

I thought she was brilliant on Big Love, but just ok everywhere else. I think it proves that probably everyone on this earth could be brilliant in a role that's a perfect fit for them. I really loved her on that show and she probably had some of the more interesting storylines out of all the wives. She really had a great character arc and grew the most out of all of them.

She was really saddled with a lousy character on AHS: Hotel. I don't think anyone else could have done much with that character either.

I'm shocked nobody else thinks Chloe is a bull dyke. Her looks he mannerisms her voice her everything. Plus the little puerto rican kid she pretends to be her boyfriend is a gay designer for Supreme Richee Sais.

I only recently found out that her and Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp) used to be quite serious together in the 90s. What a perfectly hip duo.

Over the years i've come around to her more. If not necessarily for her acting talent, she has a pretty singular downtown NY cool girl appeal that she has cultivated for herself when so many others could not. Despite being quite homely and realistic and doing a lot of 'slumming it' projects, her public persona as a high class fashionista and cinephile is at odds with it. I like the dichotomy.

R140, I know Chloe a bit. He really is her boyfriend.

Does chloe wanna have kids or what?

Shame she and Harmony never had a baby would have been such an indie darling.

I don’t think so, R143.

I was running down the west side highway around the Brown Bunny era, and I saw Gallo directing a photo shoot. I thought he cruised me and he is hot. male here

Good evening, Ameria. My name is Chloé Sevigny.

It has recently come to my attention that I. Love. FELLAH-TEE-OH.

Chloe was brilliant in Boys Don’t Cry. Very natural and affecting. I thought she should have won the Oscar that year over Angelina Jolie’s histrionics in Girl, Interrupted.

As far as never being offered mainstream projects, she was offered Orange is the New Black in 2013, but turned it down. Says she regrets it to this day.

All in all, though, I think she has a nice career full of bold, interesting choices.

And it’s a misconception that she was born rich...Darien is an affluent area, but her family was not wealthy. I think her dad was a local art teacher.

That’s true, R147. She was a not-so-rich kid in a community full of rich kids.

I wonder if it was the lead role on Orange is the New Black. I think she'd have been pretty good, she would be convincing in the more bourgeoise aspects of the character with her haughty vocal cadence, but also looks rough and street smart enough when Piper has to go at it with the girls in prison.
