Also in December comes the long-gestating (and hugely anticipated) Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, with Will Ferrell. Then it's to the flip side, playing Ben Stiller's beloved in the drama The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, out this Christmas. In July, Wiig, whose onscreen characters often serve up a bit of melancholy with the humor, stars in Girl Most Likely as a playwright who fakes a suicide attempt to win back an ex-boyfriend but ends up in the custody of her gambling-addict mother (Annette Bening). It's been one of the hardest things to let go of, it really has."īut onward. Because I know that when the sketch is over, everyone is running around, changing costumes, and at like 2 A.M., everyone's hanging out at the party. Well, there's a lot of solitary weeping because I'm a sensitive actress." She chuckles. "Now that I'm not on the show, it makes me sad. "When I was on SNL, Saturday night was my favorite night," she says. Wiig misses the cast members as much as they miss her. And it's served with lipstick on the rim already, so you don't have to worry about it." Two straws, just to hope someone splits it with you. Oh, you mean like liquid? The base would be dry shampoo. Ask Wiig what this drink would be in actuality and the recipe is this: "A bucket of dreams. On a recent episode hosted by Justin Timberlake, he was inducted into the "Five Timers Club" with a cocktail called the Kristen Wiig-which was, yes, a cocktail with a wig. SNL, which farewelled Wiig last year to a serenade of "She's a Rainbow" and a dance with Mick Jagger, clearly misses her terribly. If I had gotten SNL 10 years earlier, it wouldn't have been good."īut it was good-very good. "If I had been younger, I would not have been ready. "I think the universe did me a favor, getting into it when I did," she continues. "It's very rewarding and exhilarating because you get to step out of the bullshit. "Crazy" could apply to just about any one of her cult characters, from Lillia ("Don't make me sing") to the Target Lady to Michele Bachmann. "For five minutes you're playing this crazy person who no one wants to be around," she explains. She started on SNL in 2005 and instantly imprinted herself-or, rather, nuttier, older, slightly mutant versions of herself-on the public's consciousness. Wiig studied art at a college in Tucson, and was about to take a job at a plastic surgeon's office before "freaking out" and packing up to join the celebrated Groundlings improv company in L.A. Her pragmatism may stem somewhat from the fact that she was a full-fledged grown-up when stardom hit. We would have made a lot of money if there was a second one, but that's not my goal in my creative life." "We knew during the first one, this was it. It was a proposal that Wiig, despite being offered the world, immediately rejected. It was two years before Bridesmaids, which she cowrote (with Annie Mumolo) and starred in, and which made almost $300 million at the box office, prompting both a belated realization that "female" comedies could make money and an instant demand for a sequel. We saw each other again at an SNL party, and she was the warmest person there. She was then four years into Saturday Night Live, and its undisputed star.
#Kristin wiig snl lawrence welk movie
I first met Wiig (provenance of name, Norway upbringing of person, Rochester, New York) at a movie premiere in 2009. "Sometimes I tan a little," she says, "but I'm not like tan." Then she orders a glass of red wine. Sitting in New York's Greenwich Hotel, Wiig is wearing a black minidress, a matching jacket, and flat Repetto boots that make her feet look "freakishly small." Her hair is back to a reddish color after a stint on the dark side, and following two months in Los Angeles she has something resembling a tan. And it's true-she could totally pass for a woman in her 30s. Kristen Wiig would like you to know that she looks fabulous for 72 ("73 in August").
