Film Appearance0 Comments

In this 2014 comedy drama written by Eliot Laurence and directed by Shira Piven, Wiig stars as Alice Klieg, a woman who has Borderline Personality Disorder. After she wins millions, she quits her meds and buys her own talk show. Co-starring Linda Cardellini, Jennifer Jason Leigh and James Marsden. On her nude scene:

I’d never read a character like that. I got to a scene where it read, ‘She’s fully naked,’ and I remember thinking: If I do this movie, I have to do this scene because it’s really important to this script.

The Spoils of Babylon

TV Appearance0 Comments

Wiig plays Cynthia Morehouse, an oil heiress, in this mini-series spoof from creators Matt Piedmont and Andrew Steele. Cynthia, in love with adopted brother Devon (Tobey Maguire), ruins all that she touches, even as she lives an opulent life. Co-starring Will Ferrell, Tim Robbins and Jessica Alba.

The whole show is ridiculous and I mean that in the best way. The things this family goes through, the murder and the lies and the affairs, is so absurd and bizarre and written so well.
