Amy Irving made her Broadway debut at the age of 13 and her film debut in the movie Carrie. She was featured in Yentl, a role that earned her an Academy Award nomination. In the film Crossing Delancey, Irving plays a single woman who falls in love with a pickle merchant after being introduced by a matchmaker. In real life, Irving married Steven Spielberg, a relationship that ended in divorce. In the 1980 film Honeysuckle Rose, she co-starred with Willie Nelson. The movie also marked her onscreen singing debut and the beginning of a life-long friendship with Nelson. Irving’s career has shifted away from acting and towards music. She’s got a new album, her second, which features Willie Nelson covers. It’s called Always Will Be. I spoke to Amy Irving at her home in Westchester about singing as a second act, stage fright and what it’s like to be an older woman in Hollywood.
