Robin Wright Rejects Claim That Jenny in ‘Forrest Gump’ Is ‘Kind of an Anti-Feminist Role’: ‘People Have Said She’s a Voldemort to Forrest’
Robin Wright disagrees with "Forrest Gump" viewers who claim her character, Jenny, is kind of an anti-feminist role.
Robin Wright joined her “ Forrest Gump ” co-star Tom Hanks for a recent interview with The New York Times while promoting their latest collaboration, Robert Zemeckis’ “Here,” and she pushed back against claims that her “Gump” character, Jenny Curran, is “kind of an anti-feminist role.” Jenny is the love of Forrest’s life in the movie, but her freewheeling lifestyle keeps him at a distance. “There are some different takes on Jenny, Robin’s character, including that she was punished for her choices — which were reflective of the choices of many young women in a generation that had social and economic liberty for the first time,” interviewer Melena Ryzik asked Wright. “Forrest Gump,” released in summer 1994, earned $678 million at the worldwide box office to become the year’s second highest-grossing movie.
