Ed Harris as Jackson Pollock,
above, and, right, Jackson
Pollock himself in 1949.
"The fact that Lee [Krasner] was Jewish
was part of the draw for Jackson,"
says actor-director-producer Harris.

Harden studied 1920s anti-Semitism
to play Verna, the two-timing Jewish
moll to Irish mobsters in Ethan and Joel
Coen's stylized gangster film, Miller's
Crossing. She read up on the laws of
shiva to portray Norma Berman, the
eccentric daughter of a Jewish widow in
Beeban Kidron's Used People.
She learned a thing or two about psy-
chology to become the Jewish shrink

Susan Silverman in A&E's Small Vices.
And she perused biographies to prepare
for the role that's just gleaned her a
2001 Best Supporting Actress Oscar
nomination: the Jewish-American
painter Lee Krasner, the long-suffering
wife of Abstract Expressionist giant
Jackson Pollock (Ed Harris), in the
Harris-directed biopic Pollock.
"Lee and Jackson were the proverbial
case of opposites attracting," Harden said
during an interview at the Four Seasons
Hotel in Los Angeles.
Verbal, matter-of-
fact Krasner (1908-
1984) was the daugh-
ter of Orthodox,
Jewish-Russian immi-
grants. Raised in
Brooklyn and the ten-
ements of the Lower
East Side, Krasner,
like many Jews of her
generation, rejected
the old ways to
become an American,
specifically a New
York Jewish intellec-
tual committed to
everything radical and
modern.
Pollock (1912-
1956), conversely,
was a taciturn, trou-
bled, young man
from Wyoming: alco-
holic, manic-depres-
sive, prone to fright-
ening rages and swag-
gering boasts.
They met when
Krasner saw his work
in a 1941 exhibition,
charged up the stairs of his Greenwich
Village apartment building and
knocked on his door.
"The fact that Lee was Jewish was
part of the draw for Jackson," says
actor-director-producer Harris, who
bears an eerie resemblance to Pollock
and is an Oscar nominee for Best
Actor. "He found that exotic, provoca-
tive and mysterious."
Harden (Space Cowboys, Meet Joe
Black) regards Krasner as provocative.
"She was a woman who broke all the
rules," says the actress, who earned a
Tony nomination for playing a valium-
