If you’re any kind of a moviegoer, you’re unlikely to get through 2011 without seeing at least one film starring Jessica Chastain. She was the young mother in Terence Malick’s The Tree of Life and Celia Foote in The Help.

Out at a bar the other night, a friend and I were gossiping, and she told me something that caught my attention: Another friend of ours is in trouble at work. Part of the trouble is personal—her boss doesn’t really like her—and part of it is her own professional shortcomings. As a result, she’s walking on eggshells there. She might get fired.
