Pol demands actress apologize for 9/11 remarks By Lauren Johnston NYNewsday.com April 25, 2005 A city councilman today demanded a public apology from actress Maggie Gyllenhaal for remarks she made suggesting the U.S. bears some responsibility for the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center. "I think it's awful what she said, that somehow we as Americans are responsible for the attacks," said Councilman Tony Avella, who represents District 19 in Queens. Gyllenhaal, 27, a native of the Lower East Side, stars in the new film "The Great New Wonderful," which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and centers on New York City life in the aftermath of the attacks. "I think what's good about the movie is that it deals with 9/11 in such a subtle, open way that I think it allows it to be more complicated than just, 'Oh, look at these poor New Yorkers and how hard it was for them,'" Gyllenhaal said in red carpet comments Friday to cable channel NY1. "Because I think America has done reprehensible things and is responsible in some way and so I think the delicacy with which it's dealt allows that to sort of creep in," she said. [Exactamundo, Maggie!!] Avella, in a telephone interview, said he was "appalled" by Gyllenhaal's comments, which he called "unconscionable," and demanded a public apology. "Thousands of lives were lost -- innocent victims," Avella said. "Approaching the four-year anniversary of the attacks we are still dealing with their ramifications. The fact that she could be so callous is horrendous. Shame on her. She really owes every New Yorker an apology." Gyllenhaal could not immediately be reached for comment today.
