I confess that I wasn't clear on who she was from her name, but I do remember her character in Mama and have Crimson Peak on DVD (but haven't gotten to it yet)... Then there are several others I definitely intend to see at some point... Happy to take a look.

I think this is a really great article; one of the best BLPs of a "celebrity" that I've read on Wikipedia.

It should go without saying that some of these summaries could potentially be further improved; think of them as a starting point. But we need to summarise rather than quote where we can.

Prose
Her highest-grossing releases came with the science-fiction films Interstellar (2014) and The Martian (2015), as she continued to draw praise for her performances in the dramas The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby (2013), A Most Violent Year (2014), and Miss Sloane (2016).The chronology makes this sentence confusing and arguably self-contradictory.
Her sister Juliet committed suicide in 2003 following years of drug abuse."Committed suicide" sounds wrong here; was it a crime where she did it? "Killed herself" is better but maybe "took a fatal overdose" (if that was the MO, haven't checked)? "Following years of drug abuse" is a bit tabloidy too.
With too many absences during her senior year in school, Chastain did not qualify for graduation, but eventually obtained an adult diploma.What does "eventually" mean? A date would be better I think.
Directed by P. J. Hogan, the pilot did not perform well and the series was never picked up for broadcast.Per User:EEng/Principle of Some Astonishment, we could credit our readers with intelligence and just say: The pilot was directed by P. J. Hogan, but the series was never picked up for broadcast.

Following several delays, the film premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival to a polarized reception from the audience, although it was praised by critics and won the Palme d'Or."A polarized reception from the audience" sounds euphemistic; if the source talks about cheering and booing, we should say so.
Chastain was cast as Maya, an emotionally hardened CIA intelligence analyst who helped capture bin Laden.Captured? I'm pretty sure he was killed and, though I haven't seen the film, I'm pretty sure he is killed in the film.
Zero Dark Thirty received critical acclaim but was controversial for scenes of "enhanced interrogation" techniques that were shown providing useful intelligence in the search for bin Laden.I don't like the scare quotes. Our article enhanced interrogation techniques correctly says this was a euphemism for torture, and we should call it what it is. More importantly, the controversy (as I understand it) was that the film's implication that the torture yielded useful intelligence was counter-factual.

Though Lucille is ostensibly the film's villain, Chastain approached the character from a place of profound empathy, reading graveyard poetry and watching films like "Rebecca," "Misery" and "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" to get in the proper mind-set. "I'd never played anyone who was so intensely lonely," she said. "I don't see Lucille as a monster.

The play tells the tragic story of its titular character's sexual exploration. In the play, Salome is a 16-year-old, but Chastain, who was close to 30 then, was cast for the part.-- John ( talk) 23:50, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
The original Salome was supposed to be about 16-years-old but Chastain, who was 32 at the time, does not think that her being twice Salome's age mattered in the casting. She said: "The play still shows the themes - it's a woman discovering her sexuality and trying to test its boundaries. It was a very dark, different play for Wilde to write compared to his other comedies."Krimuk2.0 ( talk) 06:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

The play tells the tragic story of its titular character's sexual exploration. In the play, Salome is a 16-year-old, but Chastain, who was close to 30 then, was cast for the part.-- John ( talk) 23:50, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
The original Salome was supposed to be about 16-years-old but Chastain, who was 32 at the time, does not think that her being twice Salome's age mattered in the casting. She said: "The play still shows the themes - it's a woman discovering her sexuality and trying to test its boundaries. It was a very dark, different play for Wilde to write compared to his other comedies."Krimuk2.0 ( talk) 06:25, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Coordinator comment: I think we are nearly there now. Unless I've missed it somewhere, we still need an image review. Also, while John has looked at the reliability of sources, I think we still need a check of source formatting. These can be requested at the top of WT:FAC.

For formatting as requested
@ Sarastro1: source formatting and image reviews are now done. Krimuk2.0 ( talk) 16:36, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
Closing comment: I notice that there are quite a few duplinks in the article. Possibly, they are all justified, but it is worth someone checking after this has been promoted. Sarastro1 ( talk) 19:44, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
