JESSICA CHASTAIN ‘MASTERS’ IT ALL
Move over Elle Woods, a red-headed actress is taking the spotlight at Harvard!
Tossing aside critical acclaim and box office success, Jessica Chastain has decided to challenge herself further–and this time she’s going back to school. Deuxmoi can exclusively confirm that the Academy Award winner has been attending classes at Harvard University this summer, per several sources and sightings.
Whispers began rumbling when an eagle-eyed Deuxmoi reader spotted the "Dreams" actress at Flour Bakery + Cafe in Harvard Square earlier this week. Adding proof to the pudding, the tipster “confirmed it was her after [they] saw a name tag hanging from her bag.”
So just what is the red-headed beauty doing in the Ivy-entrenched land of Cambridge, Massachusetts?
Another source divulged to Deuxmoi that Chastain “is pursuing her Masters at Harvard Kennedy School.” Quenching our curious minds, the source revealed she is on track to obtain her Master in Public Administration (MPA) - how cool!
What’s even cooler about this particular program is its ample flexibility, which would presumably allow the A-lister to film and attend work obligations outside of her studies. Per Harvard’s website, “You create a study plan that reflects your academic interests, focuses on your personal and professional aspirations, and integrates across disciplines.” Chastain will need to complete 64 credits prior to graduation, which is typically achieved within two years.
Further education has been important to Chastain for quite some time. After briefly attending Sacramento City College in the late 1990s, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from The Juilliard School in 2003. During Juilliard’s commencement ceremony in May 2024, the prestigious performing arts school gave the starlet an Honorary Doctorate for he routstanding cinematic accomplishments.
We could not be more impressed with Chastain! Be on the lookout for the Hollywood leading lady out and about in the Boston area for the foreseeable future!
