Juno: From Pole-Dancing To “Maleficent”

She takes all her clothes off (artfully so, and certainly not for the first time) in “Afternoon Delight,” the first of a veritable barrage of Juno Temple this spring/summer. Directed by Jill Soloway, best known as the TV producer behind “Six Feet Under” and “United States of Tara,” the female-centric cautionary tale for both sexes won the Dramatic Directing Award at Sundance last year. It revolves around Temple’s character, McKenna, who ponders trading her life as a stripper for one as a semi-respectable pseudo-nanny for Rachel (Kathryn Hahn) and her wealthy family. But Temple’s main event comes on May 30, when she stars as Thistletwit in “Maleficent,” Angelina Jolie‘s updating of “Sleeping Beauty.”
