Former teen queen Evan Rachel Wood will bare some retro rackage in the upcoming HBO adaptation of Mildred Pierce . Evan Rachel plays Veda, the spoiled brat daughter of hardworking Mildred ( Kate Winslet ). For the remake, set in the 1930s, she made the thoroughly modern decision to go full frontal: “I hadn’t made my mind up if I was going to go full until we were rehearsing, and I was talking to Todd [Haynes, the series’ writer and director] – like ‘What do you think?’ – and he was like, ‘I think we’re going to be chickening out if we don’t just go for it.’” At a New York press event for Mildred Pierce , Evan Rachel said she was encouraged by costar Kate Winslet , who famously sent men rushing to the library with her FFN in The Reader (2008) : “I looked at Kate and she was like, ‘You’ve got to do it. Trust me, it’s so brave. Put a merkin on and you’ll be fine.’” On the topic of her muff flap, Evan Rachel quipped: “Let’s just say, I had to wear a wig because it was in the ’30s, and everything had to look like it was in the ’30s.” Next time, Mr. Skin suggests method shaving. Now that would be giving Wood!
