OlderMaggie Gyllenhaal - "Marie Claire" August 2008
Maggie Gyllenhaal (in Peter Som) dishes to Marie Claire in their August 2008 issue, on newsstands nationwide July 15.
The 30-year-old Dark Knight actress opens up about the highs – and surprising lows – of blockbuster-size fame and being a mom. Maggie also shares how she keeps her edge, her adjustment to motherhood, and dealing with the heart-wrenching death of neighbor, friend and costar Heath Ledger.
On her younger brother Jake Gyllenhaal: “We lived with him in Los Angeles when [my fiance Peter Sarsgaard] and Jake were making Rendition. Jake has a beautiful house, much nicer than a hotel. He’s great with kids – it comes naturally to him. He really has that touch.”
On the death of Heath Ledger: “We live pretty close to them. [But] it was disgusting. I had journalists call me on my cell phone. There were these two shy girls sent from some rag magazine to camp in front of my house. I came home with [my daughter] Ramona and I was so shocked and angry. These poor girls (Michelle Williams and daugther Matilda), it wasn’t their fault. They were out of their element.”
On turning the big 3-0: “I’m not the youngest person at the table anymore. I’m not the young precocious one. I feel like I’m engaging with people in a different way now. I am a woman. I’m treated with respect, as an equal.”

I just don’t know about this cover. It’s very blah
ugly; her tatler magazine all critics said she looks like Jack Nicholson.
first!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s beautiful, but she’s engaged to Peter, not married.
If you don’t want blah, you should check her cover on the tatler (uk edition). disturbing is the only way to describe it.
so wrong for the part but probably just a body bag for the movie.
Is this movie about Batman or about the Joker and Heath Ledger?
im sick of it.
She looks great.. I really like her. Go Maggie!!
Wow she looks great!, to think that she is going to be my sister-in-law when i will date jakepoo xD( in my dreams -.-” ) Jag älskar dig Jake <333 ( I LOVE U JAKE)
Am I the only one who thinks she’s unattractive?
wow she’s not naked for once in a magazine or movie. Her trying to be humble and nice is so fake. Her saying America deserves 9-11 and America did it is so unforgivable.
Jake is prettier,talented and more nicer than her.
jake gyllenhaal in a wig. EEECKKKKK
Carly the poor guy died, the asked her and she told them what she was thinking. and yes it does come up every time the dark knight is mentionde. but his death was quiet a shock. it still is to those who has worked with him..R.I.P Heath = *
She is very ugly!
FUGLY!!!!
God she’s unfortunate looking!

you put it nicely so I will agree with you :)
God, Maggie’s fantastic! Too cool!
Love her acting and intelligence. Whoever styled this cover, though, needs a different job. Terrible dress and hairstyle. The dress looks like something from a Simplicity pattern book from the 50′s – horrible.
Love interest for Bale’s Batman? what a joke. The dress looks like a drape from the funeral home and she was almost killed in this movie when her dress caught her but she didnt roll but just screamed.
Her face looks like death.
meant when her dress caught fire. Maggie’s acting is not good. Getting naked and doing a guy rough on the bigscreen does not mean
riveting acting. Meryl Streep and Audrey Hepburn,Jolie,Cate Blanchett etc are great acting.
Looks like jake.
I have NEVER understood her so-called “appeal”.
Her personality is blah and she looks like an old hag!
“These poor girls (Michelle Williams and daugther Matilda), it wasn’t their fault. They were out of their element.”
Jared she’s not talking about Michelle and Matilda there, she’s talking about the girls that camped outside her house. Jeeeez
24th!!! I’m sorry, I don’t mean to bash her, but she is not at all pretty. Poor Thing always looks tired and in need of an eye lift. I think she needs a new hair do also. I have seen better pictures of her.
“Is this movie about Batman or about the Joker and Heath Ledger?
im sick of it.”
Come on, get over it “Carly”!
