Trivia

add »
One of her beauty secrets is getting at least 9 or 10 hours of sleep every night. (edit)
Ellen Barkin has the same birthday as Martin Lawrence, Lukas Haas, and Jon Cryer, among others. (edit)
Barkin had filmed a scene with Matt Damon in Ocean's 12 but it got cut. She has half-jokingly said that if that scene was included she probably would not have been able to do Ocean's 13, as she had used a foreign accent in the cut scene. (edit)
One of Barkin's favorite designers is L'Wren Scott. (edit)
Ellen Barkin: I like the idea that people think I've been naked so many more times than I have, because it seems to me like I've done my job. I just think, 'Great. If I hit it so strong that they thought I was naked, then good.' (edit)

Quotes

add »
Ellen Barkin: The older I get the shorter I want my hair to be. (edit)
Ellen Barkin: I think I have an interesting kind of sexuality. It's not always what they want, out there in Hollywood. They tend to like the fragile girl more and I think my sexuality is more male than female. (edit)
Ellen Barkin: I want to look as good as I can for a 53-year-old. I don’t want to look as good as I can for a 30-year-old. If you do that ‘who’s sexier’ thing, I’m always going to go with Susan Sarandon or Meryl Streep. It’s not just a physical thing. It kind of breaks my heart. I think, Why aren’t you happy in your fifties? Why aren’t you happy in your forties? (edit)
Ellen Barkin: I wouldn't take my clothes off, but I've only done that twice, contrary to what everyone in the world believes. I was never naked in Bad Company, I was fully clothed, with a dress on. I didn't have my clothes off in The Big Easy, Dennis Quaid did. (edit)
Ellen Barkin: (on being the only lead female in Ocean's 13) You just have all these guys, from Carl Reiner, to Casey Affleck, and everybody in between. And then there's you. It's kinda fabulous. (laughs) (edit)
