This is like a New York Magazine Oscar!â€), she admitted her favorite character would be Connecticut housewife Cathy Whitaker. “Far From Heaven is something that’s very special to me, because it was written for me,†she said. “And I was pregnant with my daughter at the time, so I had a lot of good things happening all at once.
