Originally posted 10/22/2009 02:25PM
Fresh from her split from Sean Penn, Robin Wright Penn is embracing a new life.
"New beginnings, definitely," she tells Redbook in its November issue, out Oct. 27. "For me, my career too. My kids are older now."
But, of course, ending a marriage isn't easy. After a notoriously rocky 13-year marriage to infamously hot-tempered actor/director Penn, the actress, 43, filed for divorce in August for what appears to be the final time.

INSIDE STORY: Sean Penn & Robin Wright's Rocky Relationship
Originally posted 08/22/2009 01:05PM
When Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn attended the 2009 Academy Awards together in February, the couple – whose 13-year marriage had its share of ups and downs over the past two years – seemed to be on-again.
But six months later, the reconciliation ended with Wright filing for divorce Aug. 12. According to the legal papers in Marin County, Calif., the estranged couple "agreed to division of all property" and "[shared] custody" of son Hopper Jack, 16. They also have a daughter together, Dylan, 18.
The legal action culminates their roller-coaster relationship, which started when both Wright, 43, and Penn, 49, filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences," on separate occasions in December 2007.

Sean Penn Takes Hiatus to Spend Time with Family

Sayonara Stooges. Hello kids.
Sean Penn is going on an indefinite hiatus from acting to spend time with his family, specifically his two teenage children, daughter Dylan, 18, and son Hopper, 15.
The time off comes as a surprise, especially to the producers of what was to be his next two films, the Mafia-thriller Cartel, and the hotly-anticipated Three Stooges, where Penn was to portray curly-haired dimwit Larry opposite Jim Carrey's Curly and Benicio Del Toro's Moe.
But Penn has greater priorities than taking one across the kisser. "Right now Sean wants to focus on being with his kids," a source close to Penn tells PEOPLE.

Sean Penn Seeks Statewide Harvey Milk Day
Originally posted 03/03/2009 05:30PM
Fresh from his Best Actor Oscar win for portraying slain gay-rights leader Harvey Milk, Sean Penn joined politicians and activists in California on Tuesday to push for a day to honor the man he portrayed in Milk.
Harvey Milk Day on May 22 would not be a holiday, but teachers would recall how the San Francisco supervisor fought for equal rights before his assassination more than 30 years ago.
"It is important that we remember Harvey Milk for his spirit, his courage and his activism," Penn, dressed in black, told reporters gathered in San Francisco's Tosca Café, which shares the name of Milk's favorite opera. "Harvey taught us the importance of standing up for what you believe in. He showed us the value of never giving up, and he proved that action creates change."
