American actress Claire Danes was asked if she and her husband Hugh Dancy would ever consider moving to Brooklyn.
Danes remained silent, and Dancy ventured, “By the, uh, what’s the park?”
“Prospect Park?” New York Magazine guessed.
“Prospect Park, yeah. That’s literally how much I know Brooklyn; I know there’s a big patch of grass somewhere there,” the Brit said with a laugh.
“Yeah,” added Danes. “The prospect of our moving there is obviously not so good.”
They didn’t have any fun stories about evenings on Bedford Avenue, but attending a Lubavitch wedding was one of Danes’s most memorable Brooklyn evenings.
“It was outside of a Lubavitch apartment, on the sidewalk, and it was in February, and it was really cold and very, um, stripped down, the ceremony,” she recalled.
“And then we went to some rec hall afterwards and celebrated, but the women and the men celebrated in separate rooms, and the women were not allowed to drink, and it was quite sad.”
Danes says she came to be at the wedding through a friend of a friend.
“Shiksa did not belong, but shiksa was there,” she said, laughing.
I thought that I saw them drinking….
I was at that wedding years ago… She was the least glamorous person there- with her limp hair and dowdy brown skirt (talk about stereotyping!). She actually danced like a mere commoner in the circle which might explain her overall disappointment- gosh, no red carpet treatment!
IM FEELING SO SAD THAT I FEEL GOOD AND HIGH WITHOUT DRINKING AND WORRYING IF THE MEN IN THE SEPERATE ROOM THINK I LOOK GOOD OR DANCE WELL. SO SAD THAT MY SENSE OF SELF AND HAVING A GOOD TIME COMES FROM WITHIN ME INSTEAD OF EXTERNAL STIMULI.
never heard of her. She must not be too famous.
What was she drinking that night? She got her zip codes wrong!
Depressing as all heck. And they almost all have ONE wedding per lifetime! HELLO? LAAAAAAME???
So she mentioned Lubavitch? She had nothing good to say, why give her any space here?
