Parker Posey: Not your average indie queen
May 13, 2007LOS ANGELES –Parker Posey doesn’t pick at her lunch. She doesn’t push the slab of salmon around her plate, pretending to eat. No, she takes normal-size bite after normal-size bite (although she does pass on the bread, natch). Even more than her status as indie movie queen, this action sets her apart from her acting peers.
In person, Posey is anything but an obvious icon. She’s polite. She’s pleasant. She’s only a tad New Age artsy – fartsy and hardly over-the-top at all. Sure she’s got the same super-smudged eyes of so many of the characters she’s played. Yes there’s that voice that can go from low-pitched gravel to grating shriek.

Were it not for her wild purple blouse, she’d come off as mainstream as some of her acting choices of late.
