Julia on 'Before Women Had Wings': �I learned so much from Ellen Barkin. I think that she is an amazing woman. She is always in character and always focused on work. Oprah is like the opposite - when they are rolling, she is totally in her character, but when they cut she is very mothering and warm." "I shot the last scene first. It was very emotional, when I am separated from my mother. Everyone was really dedicated to the story and that scene sort of catapulted us into the shoot. It was refreshing that everyone was so into the shoot."
