Oscar nominee Monic Barbaro, has revealed that she has yet to meet singer Joan Baez.
Barbaro earned her Oscar nod for playing the singer in the recently released Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, where she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
Overall, the movie earned as many as eight nominations for the Oscars, including Best Picture, as well as a Best Actor nod for Timotheé Chalamet for his portrayal of Dylan. More on this here.
In a recent interview, Monica Barbaro revealed that she has yet to meet Joan Baez. However, she did outline plans to meet the singer, when she goes to see her perform on stage.
“We’re texting because I’m trying to make it to this benefit concert she’s having next month in San Francisco", Barbaro revealed.
She continued: “It’s a retrospective on her amazing career. I’m filming in London for the next few weeks, so I’m spitballing ideas to her, like ‘How do I get a round-trip ticket, pop in for the night, and then run back to London to keep working? Where are my Sky Miles?’ She’s so cool and grounded about all of this".
This concert that Barbaro is talking about, is titled, A Night To Honour Joan Baez, and takes place at San Franciso's Masonic Auditorium on February 8, featuring artists Bonnie Raitt, Rosanne Cash, and Emmylou Harris among others.
When asked about what she would say to her should this meeting materialise, Barbaro added this.
“We’d have a lovely time drumming and dancing in her garden. I think that would be my pinnacle, pie-in-the-sky moment to share with Joan,” she stated. “What do we do for the rest of the day? I don’t know and I don’t care. If I could dance in a drum circle with Joan, I’d die right there".
