my heart break for tiny maddie. a child who lost her baby brother, had to pretend he didn't existed and bury her grieve (while dealing with a tremendous abrupt change of behavior by her parents) had to hear her mother talking about wanting to die and so much more.

and yet she was able to raised her brother with all the love in the world, to make sure he knew he was loved and cared and wanted by her. i think now we can truly graspe how much maddie shield buck. not only from their parents but from her hurt and her pain and suffering.

she broke the cycle. she could have easily become like her parents, because she had the memories and the love for daniel that they did. because she could have been indifferent and cold and bitter and cruel just like they became after their lost. and yet she choose not to.

the world had already hurt her so much and yet she choose to love, to care. instead of deciding to give back all that pain and suffering she made the decision to pour her heart and her soul into the universe.

maddie buckley is the one who broke what could have been an endless heartbreaking cycle. and that is what her legacy will be. throughout the people that she raised, buck and jee, and then by the people that they will raised, following her footsteps.

She is by no means pretty. She’s all hunched shoulders and big thighs, stretch marks and lil’ flabby tumtum, flat footed and ducked head. No she isn’t one of the popular girls with perfect hair and perfect faces, she isn’t a beauty queen, and she certainly is not pretty,” he swore. “She just isn’t. But when she lifts her head and her eyes met yours, your breath is stolen. She has galaxies and constellations hidden in those hazel eyes. And when she smiles at you, you’ll find yourself short of breath. Because when she smiles, it’s genuine and free, and a smile like that could stop wars and start them all at once. If you were to ever hear her laugh, you could count yourself lucky. A laugh like hers is rare and a little shocking at first, unexpected and gentle then bursting and free. It’s infectious and lovely and weird all at the same time. And you know what, she isn’t pretty. Not even when she puts on makeup and a nice dress, not when she relaxes and lets herself have fun, not when she’s in her element on a softball field or in a swimming pool, and certainly not when she cries. She’s not pretty but she is human and she is extraordinary, and I’m in love with every part of her. Because while none of this makes her pretty, she’ll always be beautiful to me.

Benedict Andrews on directing Gillian Anderson

It wasn't the first Streetcar for Andrews, who first directed the classic for Berlin's acclaimed Schaubuhne Theatre. Nor was it his first time working with a household name (he most recently directed Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert in the New York run of the Sydney Theatre Company production of Jean Genet's The Maids.

"She's really extraordinary and it was a wonderful process," Andrews said of working with Anderson. 

"She had wanted to play, she was very desperate to play [Blanche]. It was a role she [felt she] really must play.

"She only does theatre every couple of years ... and she thought it was exactly the right time to play Blanche.

"We'd had a conversation about it last year but I didn't realise quite how ready and perfect and hungry she was."

Perfect she was, according to most London theatre critics, whose views were reinforced last week with Anderson named best actress (against some pretty stiff competition) at the Evening Standard Theatre Awards for the role.

When I saw her up close and live on stage, she was electric, and disturbing.

Anderson "put everything on the line" for the role, according to Andrews.

"An extraordinary thing happens," he said. "It's not polite or external. She finds, or we found together, she finds as a performer a very raw identification."
