Jessica Chastain 'Honored' To Play 'Zero Dark Thirty' Character

Jessica Chastain is all smiles as she heads inside the Walter Kerr Theatre for a performance of The Heiress on Saturday (February 2) in New York City.

The Oscar-nominated actress recently opened up about playing such a strong female role in the film Zero Dark Thirty.

“I feel honored to portray a character like [Maya] because I’ve known a lot of women who have chosen that in their lives but I’d never seen that in cinema,” she told the LA Times. “It’s wonderful to tell everyone’s story.”
