AS RENÉE ZELLWEGER REPRISES THE ICONIC CHARACTER, BRIDGET JONES' CREATOR - AND MILLIONS OF FANS, COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

- H. Alan Scott

MAD ABOUT THE GIRL

"I'M A FAN OF BRIDGET JONES.... THAT I SHARE THAT with so many people is a really cool thing," Renée Zellweger told Newsweek in an exclusive interview. Nearly 24 years ago, the movie starring Zellweger as that young, single, British woman who started a diary was released. Its protagonist subsequently became a cultural phenomenon, a symbol of the modern British woman and an international example of liberated women everywhere. And the real-life woman who made her famous became so identifiable with the character from Helen Fielding's 1996 book Bridget Jones's Diary that it's almost impossible to imagine any other actor in the role.

imageNow, author Fielding is thrilled Zellweger is back in the fourth installment of the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. "She's so like Bridget in that she is so warm and kind. There's a gentleness about her, and it's real. There's nothing made up about that," Fielding told Newsweek in early February.
