Maggie Gyllenhaal has been a fascinating Hollywood fixture for nearly two decades, starring in sharp, boundary-pushing films like Secretary and The Kindergarten Teacher, as well as HBO’s ‘70s porn industry drama The Deuce. Her latest project, an adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s The Lost Daughter, will be her long-awaited directorial debut, a story Gyllenhaal was drawn to for its frank depiction of motherhood and the inevitable complexities that come with it. On this episode of UnStyled, Gyllenhaal discusses the ups and downs of parenting, tackling on-screen nudity in your forties, and why there’s no such thing as a Last Hurrah.
