"At times like this I think of Tammy, and I am inspired by her radical acts of Love,"said the actor. "We talked a lot about love tonight. Inspired by her compassion, I see it as a guideline that leads us forward. For any of you out there who don't actually feel hopeless or alone, I just want you to know that you love unconditionally for the uniqueness that is you."
Chastain plays the titular role of Tammy Faye in the film, directed by Michael Showalter. The biographical drama chronicles the rise of the preacher to fame-as well as her eventual downfall, along with her husband Jim Packer, played by Andrew Garfield (who himself was nominated for Best Actor for tick-Tick-bum).
