Ginnifer Goodwin looked gorgeous yesterday at The Metropolitan Opera Opening Night Gala at Lincoln Center in New York.
Ginnifer plays one of Bill Paxton’s three wives in HBO’s Big Love and with all the the allegations of abuse at the recently-raided polygamist compound in West Texas, it hit close to home for her.
At last night’s event, she was sure to defend the show by saying the show is fiction and its main goal is “to entertain.”
“My character does not come from that world. She’s married into a family who come from that world but are no longer a part of it. My clothes on the show are a little outdated, not my personal taste, but certainly not ‘compound chic.’ “
Nonetheless, Goodwin noted that violence and abuse is “certainly implied” in the critically acclaimed show.
“We’re acutely aware of what goes on in real life. Ours is a sugar-coated version. But we feel we are educating. We find the human story very compelling.”
