So to speak. Here’s the Best Director Oscar winner in a rather unfortunate music video from about 1988, directed by James Cameron to whom Bigelow was married from 1989-1991. The good news is in this Western-type thingy, Bigelow doesn’t play a floozy, she plays a tough cowboy posse leader (should we expect anything less?). Save yourself some anguish, jump to about 2:50 in and look for the posse leader wearing a poncho and chewing on a cigar. It just goes to show you, you can do a really bad music video, marry the director, have the marriage not be not good either, and still become an Oscar-winning director 22 years later. What? Don’t say I never gave you anything ;)
Okay, okay, for those who want more of a grown up ‘more,’ here’s about 2 minutes of Bigelow on Charlie Rose talking about directing.
