T’S hard to imagine the guilt one would feel after being blamed for a woman’s death. This is I what happens to ’s character,Tom Stark, in Rails & Ties. Derailed While on duty as a train conductor, Tom’s train hits a car,killing a woman. Her son Davey (Miles Heizer), also in the car,survives and blames Tom for the death of his mother.Meanwhile,Tom’s wife, Megan (Marcia Gay Harden), learns she has cancer. For the Starks, and Davey, life becomes difficult. As they deal with their inner struggles, they somehow find the true meaning of life and family. Kevin Bacon recently talked to Tribute’s Bonnie Laufer-Krebs about the gripping film and what it was like working with Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden.

PHollywood took notice of the talented star when she received her first Oscar nod for Elizabeth in 1998 but it wasn’t until her win as Best Supporting Actress for her role as Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator that her star status was firmly cemented. Now, buzz is brewing that Blanchett may steal another Oscar, this time for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth The First in Elizabeth: The Golden Age. While in L.A., Tribute’s Bonnie Laufer-Krebs spoke to Blanchett about why she took on the same role again, nearly a decade later. “I think there’s a real intimacy to this film and I think the s challenge was initially not to perversely try to do something different A AD N A ie C just for the sake of it,” Blanchett says. “It was really important E ON d T to me that enough time had passed so that we had different S HETT: KEY HETT: NC La BLA Cate g in BLANCHETT d DATE OF BIRTH: May 14, 1969 UPCOMING FILMS Lea PLACE OF BIRTH: , Victoria, Australia STATUS: Married to Andrew Upton The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) things to say.
