French actress Julie Delpy, who I've often seen living the Bohemian life at the Chelsea, has recently been dumped by her agent. Perhaps that explains why I've seen her in the halls and elevator of the Chelsea, dragging a guitar along behind her and humming John Denver's "Sunshine." She was trying to keep her spirits up.
"My agent dumped me when I was writing Before Sunset, because he thought I was wasting my time."
Delpy, who went on to get an Oscar nomination for co-writing Before Sunrise with co-star ETHAN HAWKE and director RICHARD LINKLATER, admits her agent-less years were very tough.
She adds, "I couldn't get hired and even when I did a good job, no one would notice it.
"I went from agent to agent and it didn't really work with anyone, and people would tell me terrible things. It was very difficult." (Source: contactmusic.com)
Or, perhaps she wanted to be at the ready in case her pal Ethan were to burst into a rendition of Elton John's "Daniel." If Ethan is such a superstar, can't he help Julie get an agent.
