Why Martha Plimpton is So Cool

Martha-Plimpton.jpgThe Advocate interviewed Martha Plimpton for their new issue and then passed on the scraps that didn’t make it to the folks at Queerty. We read both, twice. She’s got a new Broadway show opening, Top Girls, that allows her to continue her legacy of strange and awesome roles. We like so many of them, but one of our favorites is Eye of God, where she has a removable, glass eye.

But our crush on her definitely started back in the days of Goonies. And although she claims to never get hit on by lesbians, who would think of her as nerdy and provincial, we would just like to say, for the record, that we would definitely hit on her at the gay bar or wherever.

(Read on for both Martha's and our diverging thoughts on the future life of Stef Steinbrenner.)

She talks about how Facebook: “It made me so stressed out for two days that I honestly felt like, If I don’t get off of this thing, I might end up in an institution.”

Her first gay boy crush: “Oh, my God, are you kidding? There was a guy in it, a dancer, who was super-duper, could not be gayer-obviously 100-percent gay. And I was madly in love with him. I had the crush of all crushes. I just thought he was dreamiest.”

And what would have happened to Stef Steinbrenner from Goonies: “I would imagine, actually, that she would probably be one of those lesbians who gets married to a man-you know how they have those? But it’s not because they’re closeted lesbians; they’re just women who are obviously dykes, but get married anyway. They have a lot in the Midwest-they wear tracksuits and gold jewelry, feather their hair back, and they have eight kids, but they’re clearly lesbians.”
