It’s too easy to say her name fits: that Elizabeth Marvel is exactly that. She may be most readily recognized for her television work: having played Presidents, solicitor generals, detectives and more. “I love her. She’s the best,” says Lesli Linka Glatter, the force behind Homeland, on which the actress eventually ran the White House.
In truth, Marvel’s theatrical experience is even more remarkable. Just check out the Playbill at Lincoln Center’s Claire Tow venue, where she currently stars in Five Models In Ruins, 1981. This is an odd comedy of sorts, in which Marvel plays a complicated and demanding fashion photographer, dealing with a chaotic cast of young women on location in the English countryside
While the show may not be for everyone, seeing Marvel up close in a tiny venue is a pleasure. We met outside the famous venue, gazing at all the young wannabes after their day at Julliard. “I sat right here chain smoking at their age,” she laughs. Yes, Marvel attended that prestigious school as well. (“Michael Stuhlberg was in my class” she notes, “and he came to see me in this.”)
