In the April issue of Vanity Fair, cover girl and actress Robin Wright talks about her new life her new life with actor Ben Foster:
“I’ve never been happier in my life than I am today. Perhaps it’s not ladylike [to say], but I’ve never laughed more, read more, or come more than with Ben. He inspires me to be the best of myself. There’s so much to learn. It’s endless. How great! It took me a long time to grow up. Love is possible as life is possible.”
Wright is guarded when speaking about the reasons behind the dissolution of her marriage with Sean Penn. “I’m not in the business of talking about what ‘isn’t,’ ” she writes in an e-mail to Kashner. “My eyes are set forward and I’ve never been happier. I have too much respect for Sean and our two extraordinary children to sell our past joys and woes for public consumption and fodder.” She tells Kashner that she took great meaning away from the marriage: “I believe we were together not only to have our beautiful children but to learn how to love … for the next time around, the right way. And then, what I’m looking for in people now,” she adds, “is kindness.”
Wright speaks about developing the icy, ambitious villain Claire Underwood for David Fincher’s House of Cards, which has made her as much a star of the show as Kevin Spacey. Claire’s wardrobe and sleek, androgynous haircut have also minted her a fashion icon. “I was just cutting off damaged hair—too much bleach over months of [appearing in] different movies,” Wright explains of Claire’s much-admired coif. “It was a mercy killing, but it works for the character.”
Vanity Fair reached out to Sean Penn for anything he would like to say about their life together, but his publicist, Mara Buxbaum, responded in an e-mail:
“Sean is traveling and not available to participate.”
