Joan Baez expressed her admiration for Monica Barbaro's performance in the film A Complete Unknown, crediting it as a key factor for her overall enjoyment. Baez noted that Barbaro's resemblance and mannerisms mirrored her own, which enhanced the authenticity of the film. Watching the movie, Baez found the music and storyline engaging. She mentioned a humorous anecdote about her granddaughter’s discomfort with seeing her grandmother in romantic scenes and clarified that an iconic moment involving Bob Dylan and herself during the Cuban Missile Crisis was exaggerated.
"I loved what she did in the film," Baez told the Marin Independent Journal. "If I didn't think she was good at it, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it in general."
Baez went to a local cinema 11 days after A Complete Unknown was released to watch it, calling the use of music 'fantastic' and story line 'amusing.'
One important fact-check, though: She definitely didn't have sex with Bob Dylan the night of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The threat of nuclear war just didn't put her in the mood.
Barbaro recently told us that she was still hoping to meet Baez, as the duo have been relegated to a phone-only relationship due to their busy schedules.
