FILM 1573: JOY
TRIVIA: Joan Rivers is portrayed
in this film by her real life daughter Melissa Rivers.
Despite earlier reports, this movie
is not a biography of Joy Mangano.
Annie Mumolo's original
script was based on Mangano, an Italian-American inventor and entrepreneur
known for inventions such as the self-wringing Miracle Mop and Huggable
Hangers. She is the president of Ingenious Designs, appears regularly on US
television shopping channel HSN, and holds more than 100 patents. When David O. Russell came onto
the project, he added many more supporting characters and interwove Mangano's
original biography with stories of other women changing their lives. Russell
admitted he was in no hurry to meet Mangano in real life during filming because
he wanted to make the movie his own way. He only spoke to Mangano on the phone.
Joy's last name is never mentioned in the film, and she is not a native of
Smithtown, NY, on Long Island's north shore.
The fourth collaboration between Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. They
previously starred together in Silver
Linings Playbook (2012), American Hustle (2013),
and Serena (2014).
Except for Neil Walker, none of the
principals' last names are ever stated.
Isabella Rossellini and Diane Ladd
co-star in this film and also co-starred in Wild at Heart.
