Bradley Cooper Reveals His Mom Was a Consultant on “Joy”
“[My mom] actually was a consultant for David on the movie when he was conceiving it because she’s a huge disciple of QVC”, Cooper said. “‘David, no!!!’ and it is three exclamation marks”.

“I think it’s very inspirational”. You have the camera guys – I mean, the real movie is watching the camera guys try to keep up with all this. “Gross, I can’t listen to it; I have to go to bed.’ And I said yes, but it’s a groaning, reluctant yes”.
The only positive influence on her life is her maternal grandmother (Diane Lane), who is convinced her granddaughter – who has shown a knack for inventing gadgets since childhood – is destined for greatness despite all the evidence to the contrary.
We ask industry veterans, and co-stars of her latest O. Russell film “Joy”, what they make of the Jennifer Lawrence phenomena. These cramped quarters seem even more claustrophobic owing to the outsize needs of mom Terry (Virginia Madsen), a shut-in who hasn’t left her bedroom – or “comfort nest”, as Ma prefers – in years, glued to a soap opera that Russell milks for clumsy meta-commentary.
And now, Jennifer Lawrence has tackled a classic rags to riches story.
The film has been nominated for a Golden Globe award, and Lawrence has been shortlisted for the best actress prize.
She also watched many hours of Mangano pitching her products on USA television.
“I was always creating something”, Mangano recently told People. The inventor’s business relationship with an early TV shopping guru (Bradley Cooper) is the eventual key to her success.
That’s not a mop, it’s a gun.
The actor plays wannabe singer Tony Miranne who is the ex of the leading character, a self-made woman who builds a business empire based on her inventiveness and sales skills, and despite having all the cards stacked against her. And she became a TV star.
There is no romantic frisson this time, as there was in both Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. I am pleased to explore things the way she wants to do them, and she moreover will trust what I want to do. Come on, Jen. We know you love it.
But clearly she doesn’t come with a cliquey Hollywood attitude.
Lawrence plays a divorced mother of three children in her new movie, Joy (2015).
“Next!” Lawrence says in a no-nonsense voice, pausing as she decides if she’ll continue that thought. After her first attempt to peddle her invention on the shopping channel ends in disaster, Joy, on the brink of filing for bankruptcy, decides to strong-arm the practical-minded Neil into giving her one more shot. “When I talk about boys, the world implodes. But it was never even a question whether I would”, he adds.

And that’s OK because, for a change, who she’s dating is the least interesting thing about Jennifer Lawrence.
