Julianna Margulies W Magazine May 2010

Julianna Margulies’ Golden Globe winning performance on The Good Wife has put her back on top. She is W magazine’s cover girl for the upcoming May issue, attached, where she sizzles in Dolce & Gabbana.

* On doing another television series, following her role on E.R.: “I’ll always do television—television celebrates women. It’s where the best, richest roles for women are, period.”
* On drawing inspiration from Silda Spitzer for her role on The Good Wife: “Two months before the whole thing blew up, she looked incredible. And then you saw her standing beside him at that podium, and it looked like she had aged 10 years. And then a year after that, she was in this Vogue article and she looked like a brand new women. There was light in her eyes.”
* On seeing the understated allure of playing an older character: “Maybe now I can only play ‘the mother of,’ never ‘the girlfriend of.’ But I think you have to go with a role because it’s good, not because of what it says about your age.”
* On looking refreshed despite her jam-packed schedule: “I know this is going to sound corny, but I love my life. I love my baby, so I love getting to wake up with him. And I have the most amazing job, with writing that any actor would love and costars who I can’t wait to see on Monday mornings. And I love coming home to my husband. If I had a job I hated or a husband who I was always fighting with, then I would look tired.”
