The February 2013 has some pretty good interviews with Barbara Steele and Jessica Chastain.
Steele's is a career overview, from her Italian films to her current project, The Butterfly Room. She admits to having ambiguous feelings about doing the autograph circuit but does them for a practical reason: no pension. Being a producer was not her cup of tea but she managed to get along quite well with DC. According to Barbara, they had similar temperaments and she just wasn't scared of him.
She would have liked the 1991 Julia to have been written differently but DC didn't go with it. She admits to liking the Depp film but not "the frumpy light" that Julia was portrayed in.
Jessica Chastain outs herself as one of us. She's a DS fan and loved playing Carolyn Stoddard. She said that she understands why people love the show so much and is flattered, if a bit surprised, that people still ask her about it.
