Jessica Chastain, Jessica Chastain may not have won an Oscar for her role in The Help (that accolade went to her co-star Octavia Spencer) but the last 12 months have been hugely successful for her, nonetheless. She has gone from a being a relative unknown, to starring in a number of critically acclaimed movies, such as Tree of Life (with Brad Pitt), The Debt, Coriolanus and Take Shelter.

On Monday (February 27, 2012), Brad Balfour of Huffington Post posted a series of interview questions with the Hollywood star, whose popularity continues, to rise. When asked how she got involved in the Help – the film that led her to the Oscars, she explained “I read the script, and loved, loved, loved it.
