Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) is the glamorous and powerful matriarch of the Grayson family and the reigning Queen of the Hamptons social scene. As the wife of a billionaire, she appears to have it all: the perfect husband, children, and home. But these are just the trappings that house a much darker secret—her culpability in the events that destroyed Emily Thorne’s life. Mired in her many secrets and lies, and a true love-lost that haunts her every day, Victoria is strikingly suspicious of her new neighbor Emily, who’s taken a keen interest in Victoria’s son, Daniel. Knowing that nothing in life is coincidental, Victoria is determined to find out Emily’s real intentions and protect the life she has sacrificed so much for by any means necessary

Next year Madeleine Stowe will make her directorial debut on the epic romantic Western she co-wrote, The Unbound Captives, starring Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson. Stowe feels privileged to have Academy Award-winning cinematographer John Toll (Legends of the Fall , Braveheart , Thin Red Line ) and producer Charles Roven (Three Kings , Dark Knight , Batman Begins ) on her team. The story was inspired by stories she heard while living on her Texas Hill Country ranch.

Stowe had her film debut in Stakeout , opposite Richard Dreyfuss, and went on to work with Kevin Costner in the Tony Scott-directed Revenge and with Jack Nicholson in The Two Jakes , which he also directed. She also starred in Michael Mann’s The Last of the Mohicans , opposite Daniel Day-Lewis, and has worked for directors Terry Gilliam in 12 Monkeys , Michael Apted in Blink and Robert Altman on Shortcuts -- for which she received the Best Supporting Actress Award from the National Society of Film Critics.

Other films include The General’s Daughter , opposite John Travolta, China Moon , Playing By Heart , alongside Angelina Jolie, Sean Connery and Gena Rowlands, and We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson. She has also appeared on television in the true story Saving Milly , from Morton Kondracke’s best-selling book about his marriage to his Parkinson’s afflicted wife, and more recently in the Jeff Goldblum series, Raines .

Stowe lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Brian Benben, and daughter May.

I really like her and love that I can't figure her out most of the time, especially when it comes to things that happened in the past

green eyes sparkle · 11-01-2011, 03:09 AM

I also love watching Victoria. She is such an intriguing character with how complex she is. Victoria is such a ruthless Queen Bee, but at the same time, has that vulnerability about her. Madeleine does such a great job of portraying her. Plus i must add that she still looks very beautiful.

Also here are some pics of Madeleine to help christen the thread.

BTW this is the second Revenge project that Madeleine has done, with Revenge the movie being the first one. Also i like to be added to the list.
