Well surrounded. Friday, December 6, Jessica Chastain was rewarded for “her work and her contribution to the art of cinema” during the 38th American Cinemateque Awards ceremony, at the Beverly Hills Hilton, in Los Angeles. Ceremony to which she came accompanied by her husband Gian Lucas Passi de Preposulo, but also by her mother Jerri Chastain and her grandmother Marilyn Herst. “It’s a surprise and an honor that the American Cinematheque is honoring the work that I have done, I am very moved,” she confided on the red carpet, where she posed with them.
Mother, daughter and granddaughter opted for matching outfits, black and sequins. A black dress with silver details for Jessica Chastain, a sequin top and black pants for Jerri Chastain, and a black jumpsuit with a sequin jacket for Marilyn Herst. If Gian Lucas Passi de Preposulo joined them for a photo, he let them shine as a trio under the photographers’ flashes.

By becoming a star, the Oscar-winning actress in 2022 for her role in “In the Eyes of Tammy Faye” (2021) met other stars. And it made for a hilarious situation between her grandmother and her friend Bradley Cooper. “A few years ago I had a party at my house and Bradley Cooper was there. My grandmother is now at the age where she makes fun of everything. So right in the middle of the party, she walked over to Bradley and just sat on his lap. He looked horrified. He had never met her. He didn’t know who she was,” she said on Ellen DeGeneres’ show. “I saw the scene unfold in slow motion before my eyes. I said, ‘No, no!’ And I blurted out: ‘It’s my grandmother! She’s my grandmother!’ Then Bradley said, ‘Okay. Hello, grandmother…’”
