Occupation | writer/editor/actor |
Joan Juliet Buck is an American writer and actress. She was the editor in chief of French Vogue from 1994 to 2001,[1][2] the only American ever to have edited a French magazine.[3] Buck currently writes for T magazine, New York Times's fashion magazine,[4][5] and W,[6][7][8] among others,[9][10] and was contributing editor to Vogue and Vanity Fair for many years.
Background
She is the only child of Jules Buck (1917–2001), an American film producer, who moved his family to Europe in 1952 "in protest against political repression" in the United States.[11][1] Her mother was Joyce Ruth Getz (aka Joyce Gates, died 1996), a model, actress, and interior designer.[12][1] John Huston, for whom her father worked as a cameraman,[11] was the best man at her parents' 1945 wedding. Her first language was French.[13]
Career
Journalism
Dropping out of Sarah Lawrence College to work at Glamour magazine[8] as a book reviewer in 1968, Buck became the features editor of British Vogue at the age of 23, then a correspondent for Women's Wear Daily in London and Rome.[14] [15] Buck was an associate editor of the London Observer. A contributing editor to American Vogue from 1980 and also Vanity Fair,[8] her profiles and essays appeared in The New Yorker,[16] Condé Nast Traveler,[17] Travel + Leisure,[18] and The Los Angeles Times Book Review. As movie critic for American Vogue from 1990 to 1994, she served on the New York Film Festival selection committee.[19] From 1994 to 2001 she was editor-in-chief of French Vogue,[8] where she doubled the circulation and produced thematic year-end issues on cinema, art, music, sex, theater, and quantum physics[2].
For US Vogue, she profiled such cover subjects as Marion Cotillard,[20] Gisele Bündchen,[21] Carey Mulligan,[22] and Natalie Portman.
She has appeared in numerous documentaries, among them James Kent's Fashion Victim, the Killing of Gianni Versace, Mark Kidel's Paris Whorehouse and Architecture of the Imagination. Buck narrated James Crump's 2007 documentary Black, White, and Gray, about art collector Sam Wagstaff and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe.
Since 2011, Buck has been the consulting editor to Dasha Zhukova on her Garage magazine which the New York Times called "one of the most intriguing magazines to come along in years."[4][23][24]
Performance
She began studying acting in 2002, and appears in Nora Ephron's 2009 movie Julie and Julia as Madame Elisabeth Brassart, head of the famed Le Cordon Bleu cooking school.[25][26][27][2] She wrote about the experience of auditioning for Ephron after she passed away in June 2012.[13]
In November 2009, she appeared in an action theater piece with other actors for Performa09 at the White Slab Palace in New York City.[28] Curated by Michael Portnoy and Sarina Basta, it was part of a week of Weimar cabaret,[29] and in it, Buck and another actor held a conversation guided by the third actor's random flashing of prompt cards.
In 2010, Buck played Mrs. Prest in an adaptation of The Aspern Papers, a Henry James novella, directed by first-time filmmaker Mariana Hellmund.[30] [31]
In May 2012, she appeared with comedian Eugene Mirman, performers Ira Glass, Lucy Wainwright Roche, and Amber Tamblyn in a night of interpretations of the Joan of Arc narrative at the Littlefield, a performance space in Brooklyn, New York.[32]
As a child, Buck was cast as a Scots waif in the Walt Disney film Greyfriars Bobby.[33]
Novels and adaptations
Buck's novels about multicultural expatriates are The Only Place To Be published by Random House in 1982 and Daughter Of The Swan published by Weidenfeld in 1987.[34][35] She was one of a long line of writers commissioned to adapt D. M. Thomas's novel The White Hotel. Her version was singled out by Thomas as "faithful and intelligent" among versions that included ones by the writer himself and Dennis Potter but the film has never been made.[36]
In 2009, the story "the Ghost Of The Rue Jacob"[37] was a big hit at The Moth. In February 2012, Buck went on "The Unchained Tour" through Georgia with George Green, founder of The Moth.[38][39]
Internet
In 2008, she joined Liz Smith, Peggy Noonan, Joni Evans, Mary Wells Lawrence, Lesley Stahl, Whoopi Goldberg, Candice Bergen, and others in founding wowowow.com, a website for women.
Asma al-Assad article
In March 2011 Vogue published a profile that Buck wrote of Asma al-Assad, wife of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, describing her as "glamorous, young and very chic—the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies."[40] The piece caused a furor within foreign policy circles,[40] and media websites including The Atlantic attacked it as an ill-timed "puff piece" that ignored human rights abuses under Syria's Ba'athist regime.[41] In May 2011 the article was removed from Vogue's website.[40] The magazine had previously said that the piece took "more than a year" to cultivate.[41] Buck's contract was not renewed.[3]
Buck wrote an article about the assignment in Newsweek saying she had been been "duped" by the Assads and that she had not wanted to write the story.[42] Buck's follow-up generated controversy. In Maclean's, Barbara Amiel said that at the time Buck wrote her original article, she was more politically active than she presented herself in this article and that Syria was already on the U.S. State Department list of state sponsors of terrorism.[43]
Personal life
In 1977 Buck married John Heilpern, a journalist and writer; they divorced in the 1980s.[44][2]
