Keisha Castle-Hughes, 16, pregnant
This post from yesterday
"UNMARRIED WITH A BABY ON THE WAY: Pregnant teen 'Nativity' star gets snub from the Vatican"
IS MISLEADING.
This article that was posted (from the notoriously liberal Detroit Free Press [Google is your friend]) yesterday was not backed supported by any other press coverage. Most sources state she didn't attend because she was filming a movie, and that she didn't want the publicity and questions she'd have to answer for being an unwed mother. No where else does it say she wasn't invited by the Vatican, only that she wasn't attending.
from the NY Times:
"According to publicists working on the film, Ms. Castle-Hughes did not attend the screening because she is shooting her next movie and would not participate in the worldwide marketing campaign for “The Nativity Story.” The pope, according to the Vatican, was never to attend, and has a more pressing concern, they said: his trip to Turkey this week."
from signonsandiego:
"Godfrey, along with several other members of the film crew, were at a media screening last weekend in Los Angeles. Castle-Hughes was noticeably absent. While she was initially listed to be there, Godfrey said she was working on another movie. A later request to interview her via telephone was declined. A spokesman said she also would not attend the Vatican opening, “because she is in New Zealand and is resting.
The Rev. Dick Duncan of the Ecumenical Council of San Diego County echoes that. “I know of no convention that says a person portraying a role in a movie or dramatic production must be personally, ethically, morally, psychologically, theologically in sync with that particular role. Who would portray the villains, the Godfather, Scarlet O'Hara, the 'Desperate Housewives'?” ”
from BBC:
"The teenage star of a film about the Nativity is missing its Vatican premiere because she is expecting a baby with her 19-year-old partner.
New Zealander Keisha Castle-Hughes, 16, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Whale Rider, plays Mary.
A member for the Papal Council for Culture said the actress was expected to play her part well, not be a saint."
from newsfeedresearcher:
"The pregnant teen star of new film the Nativity Story has sensitively stayed away from its Vatican premiere."
from INQ7.net:
"The official explanation is that the actress who, at 13 made history as the youngest Oscar Best Actress nominee (for “Whale Rider” in 2002), is busy making a film in Australia. Some folks, though, are speculating that Keisha, 16, simply wanted to avoid the glare of media scrutiny because she is pregnant.
In what could be construed as life imitating art, Keisha became a mother-to-be after filming her role as the pregnant Mary. The father, Bradley Hull, is her boyfriend of three years. Catherine told us that, by coincidence, Bradley, who is 19, is a carpenter just like Mary’s husband, Joseph.
When Catherine (who quipped, “I’m Keisha’s spokesperson”) was asked by a reporter why Keisha was not participating in the press interviews for the movie, she also gave the actress’ filming commitment in Australia as the reason. But Catherine added with a laugh, “Keisha is also not that big of a fan of traveling and facing all these questions.” The actress, who was born in Australia, lives in New Zealand."
