| Biography (TMDB): | Marcia Gay Harden (born August 14, 1959) is an American film and stage actress. She is the recipient of many accolades including an Academy Award and a Tony Award, in addition to nominations for a Critics' Choice Movie Award and three Primetime Emmy Awards. She began her acting career appearing in television programs throughout the 1980s. In 1986, she appeared in her first film role, with her breakthrough coming in the 1990 Coen brothers-directed Miller's Crossing. Her next notable film credits include The First Wives Club (1996), Flubber (1997), and Space Cowboys (2000). She received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Lee Krasner in Pollock (2000). She had a supporting role in Mona Lisa Smile (2003). She received a second Academy Award nomination for her performance as Celeste Boyle in the drama film Mystic River (2003). She appeared in several 2007 films, including Sean Penn's Into the Wild and Frank Darabont's The Mist, based on the novella by Stephen King. Also in 2007, she shared top billing with Kevin Bacon in Rails & Ties, the directorial debut of Alison Eastwood. Harden played a woman who has a mastectomy in Home (2008). (Her character in Rails & Ties also had a mastectomy.) One scene required her to bare her breasts, with the missing breast removed using computer-generated imagery. In Home, her co-stars include her daughter, Eulala Scheel. In 2009, she had quite a busy year. She appeared as a regular on the FX series Damages as a shrewd corporate attorney opposite Glenn Close and William Hurt. She co-starred in the films Whip It, and The Maiden Heist. She returned to Broadway in Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage, co-starring with James Gandolfini, Hope Davis and Jeff Daniels. All three actors were nominated for a Tony Award; Harden won Best Actress in a Play. She received her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her role as FBI Special Agent Dana Lewis in the crime drama series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and earned a second Primetime Emmy Award nomination for her performance as Janina Krzyżanowska in the television film The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler (2009). She reunited with her former Broadway co-star Jeff Daniels as a new cast member on HBO's series The Newsroom in 2013. In 2015, she had a starring role in the medical drama Code Black. Her other notable television credits include ABC's How to Get Away with Murder and the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. She played Christian Grey's mother, Grace Trevelyan Grey, in the Fifty Shades film series from 2015 to 2018. She stars in the 2022 CBS drama So Help Me Todd. |

She convincingly smokes several times mostly during the first half hour of the movie. Overall in addition to 3 very good lightup scenes there are 2 good exhales with 1 being a well lit nose exhale. After seeing this I don't think there is any doubt that she is IRL or at least has been at some time. |

[MacDowell] Holds and smoles cork-tipped filters throughout the film, including several clear inhales and well-lit exhales. |

:35, lights up in bathroom with a couple of weak inhales. Obviously not IRL. |
Gaudi Afternoon

Lots to like here. Davis lights up in her first scene, takes a drag, looks disgusted and tosses it out the window. From then until about halfway through the movie, she turns down every cigarette offered, saying 'I just quit.' She starts up again, though, and has 3 or 4 excellent scenes in the second half, in various bars and once in bed. Harden likewise has several terrific scenes early in the film, wearing thick red lipstick and leather gloves. At one point she says how refreshing she finds Barcelona (the film's setting) because everyone smokes there. She and Davis both dangle a lot, both before and after lighting. Lewis lights a joint outdoors, inhales deeply and has a thick, well-lit exhale. Barranco can be seen dragging in the background of one scene but just holds once the camera is on her. Several extras smoke as well. |
In Broad Daylight

Lying in bed, Brian Dennehy holds a cigarette to her lips, one inhale. |
Miller's Crossing
|
smokingsides
Excellent scenes with very appealing inhales and exhales. Several scenes, some close ups and nice exhales one in particular on a great background. |
P.S.

smokingsides
Without a doubt Laura Linney's best performance, the more I watched this movie the more I thought she was IRL, at least on a social basis. She smokes maybe four or five times with her first scene close up, with her trademark cheek-hollowing inhales, and decent exhales with improvement on the last one. A scene near the end of the movie with her and Marcia both smoking, I believe they both smoke two cigarettes nearly back-to-back. They also have an extended version of this scene. |
Pollock
|

This one is set in the NY art world of the 40s and 50s, so there's lots of smoking. Harden smokes throughout. Madigan has one brief scene with a lightup, plus another where she's has a holder with an unlit cigarette in it. Seymour just holds in one scene. Connelly takes two drags with one decent exhale outdoors at a train station near the end. |
Sex and Lies in Sin City: The Ted Binion Scandal
|

Smokes a few times, with some decent inhales and not so decent exhales. |
Sinatra
|
smokingsides
Only one lighting up scene, not anything as good as in Miller's Crossing, but that's stunning, so this is nevertheless worthwhile. It's somewhere in the middle of the four hour long movie. |
The Hoax
|
smokingsides
Two scenes, she holds nicely and has one IRL inhale/exhale in each. Background smoking in two other bar scenes. |
Used People
|
smokingsides
Around eight scenes, always all-whites, mostly with a very long holder. She lights from a ring on the gas cooker and then dangles cigarette in holder. Towards the end, she wears white gloves and lights her cigarette (no holder this time) from a candle. |
Whip It
|
smokingsides
smokes in two scenes. The first is kind of funny, because she tries to hide the fact that she's smoking from her teenage daughter. That's a fun spin on the standard scene in which a parent catches their kid doing something that the kid isn't supposed to be doing. The second scene is better, with Marcia taking a few drags from a cork-tip. Her exhales are mediocre, however. |
