FILM 1562: THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE
GIRL
TRIVIA: Bel Powley's American
agent sent her the script and she loved it so much that she sent an unorthodox
audition tape: she was doing a scene in Minnie's bed, so she shot it in bed, in
her underwear. And then added a separate little bit to the end of the tape
talking directly to the camera, talking to Marielle Heller [the
director] basically saying how much this film resonated with her, how much it
would mean. Heller and Powley Skyped, got on well, and then Powley flew out to
New York and met with Alexander
Skarsgård.
It is based on the graphic novel
The Diary of a Teenage Girl: An Account in Words and Pictures by Phoebe
Gloeckner.
CAMEO: Phoebe Gloeckner: In the
scene where Minnie meets her mother and Monroe in the bar, Minnie runs out of
the booth as the camera momentarily lingers on a brunette woman smoking a
cigarette. The woman is Phoebe Gloeckner, author and illustrator of the
original "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" novel. The novel is
semi-autobiographical, with the character of Minnie Goetz based on Gloeckner
herself.
