This quote from a U.K. Sunday Times exclusive interview with American actress Robin Wright ("The Princess Bride," "House of Cards") speaks volumes:
"Married three times, including to the Hollywood hell-raiser Sean Penn, the House of Cards actress Robin Wright has swapped frenetic LA for tranquillity in the Chilterns. And down the pub one afternoon, she met her perfect man"
Three failed marriages may indicate that her quests to find the "perfect man" as well as the perfect country have more to do with her than her partners or America. Perhaps it is Wright who has failed to be the "perfect" woman or the perfect citizen herself? Food for thought. Wright's viewpoints about her children and child-rearing also ooze with narcissism, but I digress.
Apparently, Wright has the same rose-tinged perspective about her relationships as she does about her adopted country of Britain. Wright blithely trashes the United States, the country that has afforded her the opportunity and means to not only live across the pond, but to freely trash the nation where she was born and, as far as we know, still maintain citizenship.
We avoid discussing real-life politics, though Wright says she is very happy to be here and not across the Atlantic. “America is a shitshow,” she says.
For the past few years she has been largely working in the UK, renting a succession of homes in the Chilterns where she and her stepsister spend weekends. Half of Hollywood, it seems, is currently down the road in the Cotswolds. “I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind,” she says. “They’re living. They’re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition and speed.”
In the Chilterns she listens to the birds in the morning, whereas in Los Angeles, where she owns a home near the ocean, she wakes to the sound of her neighbours’ home renovations. “Everyone’s building a huge house and I’m just done with all that — I love the quiet.
Wright's viewpoints are not unique. Hollywood "stars" such as Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, as well as current D-lister Rosie O'Donnell, have fled the United States, riddled with TDS and alleging their loss of freedoms in America necessitated the moves overseas. The Hollywood types who have not yet made the leap, but keep threatening to, expose the addled viewpoint of leftist Hollywood toward the country where they enjoy success and fame, while alternately despising it. Anything outside of American coastal cities is backwater or flyover, and not even worthy of consideration. No, they must flee the country because true freedom lies elsewhere. Wright, who was raised in San Diego, has lived and thrived in the Hollywood bubble since she was 14 years old, first as a model before she moved into acting. So, her judging the United States through that particular lens simply shows she is thoroughly out of touch with reality. If she weren't so obtuse, she might be pitied. For someone who has had the world at her feet, she presents as a small human with an even smaller worldview.
What is amazing is that this supposed "freedom of self" Wright has found in the U.K. has not been afforded to British young girls and women who have been victimized by Muslim rape gangs. The most recent egregious act by the UK government against its women involves a 14-year-old Scottish girl who was arrested for brandishing knives in order to protect herself and her sister from a possible rape by Muslim men.
As my colleague streiff wrote:
What is missing from the discussion is the feminist left. One would think with their utter fixation on an alleged “rape culture” that the same claque of harridans who have basically been insisting that every sexual encounter between men and women be videotaped to ensure that there is 100% positive assent to every conceivable aspect of the act would be up in arms. As Ian Tuttle writes in National Review, the perpetrators of the rapes are of no interest to the left or the feminist movement because they are Muslim and Pakistani, not upper middle class white lacrosse players. The victims are of no interest because they are poor and neglected, not fashionable, and need I say it, white.

But Wright doesn't have those worries, being a rich, white, female who lives in a new bubble of the English countryside, and who can no doubt afford armed protection, if needed. Wright revealed more of her intellectual and moral midgetry when the Times discussion turned to actor Kevin Spacey, her former co-star in the Netflix series "House of Cards."
During our morning together the only question she won’t answer is whether she would work again with her House of Cards co-star Kevin Spacey, who was found not guilty of sexually assaulting four men two years ago. “I don’t really think we need to talk about Kevin,” she says. “That was then.”
WOW. Seven years ago ("Then"), Wright did the politically correct version of throwing Spacey under the bus, while taking over the last season of the popular show. Wright's responses were as vacuous and crafted as her character Claire Underwood, as she claimed she really didn't know the man, only the actor.
WATCH:
Now that the #MeToo movement has been totally destroyed by the overreaching hands within their own creation, and Spacey has been found not guilty in the courts, Wright has nothing more to say on the matter, if she ever had anything to say that was worthy of consideration. Instead, she has found her idyllic new country and another man to "complete" her life.
Wright is spiritual and muses that she may have manifested Henry into her life. “That’s exactly what I wanted. I’m turning 60 and I’m, like, ‘Is this it?’ ” she says. “I love being alone and I’ve done that many times. But I’m, like, I want to grow old with somebody, and travel and see the world.”
The couple’s plan is to take some time off work, move to a rented home at the English seaside with Rusty and Rocky, the puppy they bought together, and simply enjoy life. “It’s liberating to be done,” she says, grinning. “Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 per cent of what you wanted.”
One of my favorite songs is by an artist named Keith Green called "Run to the End of the Highway." In it, Green sings, "[Y]ou can search to the end of the highway and come back no better than before. To find yourself, you've got to start right here."
The tragedy is that Wright thinks she has found herself, but her lack of introspection proves that she is still looking outside of herself for fulfillment, completion, and liberation.
This seems to be the curse of living your life pretending to be someone else. Pitying Wright may well be the correct response.
