‘THE HELP’ STAR’S BEST REVIEW CAME FROM… HER GRANDMOTHER!

“The Help” surprised a lot of people when it became the weekend’s Number 1 movie at the box office.  Although it may not be so surprising when you consider how many people are so passionate about the novel on which it’s based.  One of those passionate fans is the grandmother of Jessica Chastain, who co-stars in the film as Celia Foote.  At first, Chastain was worried about what her grandmother would thing about the movie and her performance.  Those fears were laid to rest, however, after Jessica took Grandma and a few of her friends to the premiere.  And although she’s gotten plenty of great feedback on the movie, Chastain told us that “thumbs up” from her grandmother was the best compliment she could ever receive.
