New Projects: "Ladies in Black," "Forever" & "Gold Digger"

It has been a while since we updated the blog and since then the JO-related news has been busy. Ms. Ormond currently has two projects out. First is the Australian film "Ladies in Black," playing in theaters

I. "Ladies in Black"

Variety review

Ladies in Black: Why Julia Ormond is back in fashion

Bruce Beresford: At last, making the film that obsessed me for 30 years

II. "Forever" is a comedic TV series starring Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen currently playing on Amazon Prime.

What, you may be asking, is "Forever" about? Rolling Stone has you covered. Beware, though, the article contains spoilers to the show's many mysteries. Best to just watch the trailer and then go into the show completely unawares of where it will be taking you.


III. "Gold Digger" looks to me like it might be one of the most interesting projects Ms. Ormond has done in a while.

Broadwayworld describes the BBC One six-part mini-series as being "about a woman falling in love with a much younger man and the effect it has on her already damaged family," co-starring Ben Barnes (Westworld, The Punisher).


IV. Julia also appeared in a video speaking at the Skoll World Forum, powerfully describing her "Aha! Moments: When I Changed Course."

She also took part in a discussion presented by the USC Price Athenian Society entitled "Ending Trafficking: A Discussion on Human Rights."
