“To be a producer, and to have a production company, means you get to police [the way women are portrayed] in the writing,” #JessicaChastain tells Marie Claire. “You get to say, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa. We need to honor women as human beings. And they make their own choices—just like men do.’ ” Chastain’s latest @frecklefilms project, #GeorgeAndTammy, tells the whiskey-soaked love story of '70s power couple George Jones and Tammy Wynette. But unlike other portrayals of the birdie best known for singing “Stand By Your Man,” Chastain's Tammy radiates main character energy. “The song isn't about being a doormat,” she says. “She made decisions in her life.” Read Marie Claire’s Holiday Issue cover story at the link in bio.
