Hollywood actress Jessica Chastain marked the 15th anniversary of her acclaimed film The Help by looking back at her much-loved character Celia Foote, quipping that the Southern socialite is still serving up glamorous looks, cake and no chill.
The Help is a 2011 period drama film written and directed by Tate Taylor, and based on Kathryn Stockett’s 2009 novel of the same name. The film features an ensemble cast, including Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard, Octavia Spencer, Jessica Chastain, Allison Janney, Cicely Tyson, and Sissy Spacek.
Chastain shared a few moments in a video montage on Instagram with the caption: “15 years later and Celia Foote is still serving looks, cake, and absolutely no chill. Happy 15th anniversary to The Help! What a time.”
The Help tells the story of a young white woman and aspiring journalist, Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan. The story focuses on her relationship with two black maids, Aibileen Clark and Minny Jackson, during the civil rights movement in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi.
