Acting is a matter of giving away secrets.
I guess if you're lucky enough not to have to pay your rent, then you or I take much more seriously the kind of work that I do, what it takes for me to leave two teenagers of my own and six stepchildren and a husband and four grandchildren.
My husband thinks he's compromising if we have one cook instead of three.

When a 12-year-old, a 13-year-old, so desperately wants a baby what she's looking for is the kind of unconditional love a child gives a mother and a mother gives a child.

Barkin had filmed a scene with Matt Damon in Ocean's 12 but it got cut. She has half-jokingly said that if that scene was included she probably would not have been able to do Ocean's 13, as she had used a foreign accent in the cut scene.
Ellen Barkin: I like the idea that people think I've been naked so many more times than I have, because it seems to me like I've done my job. I just think, 'Great. If I hit it so strong that they thought I was naked, then good.'
Barkin said in an interview that she often wears glasses because she has a condition that is causing her to lose vision in one of her eyes.
Barkin was married to Ron Perelman, the chairman of Revlon. Their marriage lasted almost six years, until in early 2006, Perelman wanted to end the marriage. This was unexpected by the actress, and a shaky divorce ensued.
Concerning political issues, Barkin is pro-choice.
