GIRLS (2012–2017)
The character of Shoshanna wasn't
supposed to be recurring, but creator Lena Dunham liked Zosia Mamet's
performance so much that kept her on the show as a regular, because they saw
potential for exploring the character thanks to Mamet's talent.
Adam Driver had to repeatedly fly
back and forth between New York and London between seasons 3 and 4 to film Star
Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).
Jemima Kirke had to
be convinced by Lena Dunham to take the role of Jessa, because Kirke didn't
(and doesn't) have a long-term interest in acting, compared to her focus on her
thriving career as a painter and artist.
All four main actress Lena Dunham, Jemima Kirke, Zosia Mamet, and Allison Williams
have famous parents in some regard. Lena Dunham's parents are photographer
Laurie Simmons and painter Carroll Dunham. Jemima Kirke's parents are fashion
designer Lorraine Kirke and rock musician Simon Kirke. Zosia Mamet's father is
writer David Mamet
and mother is actress Lindsay Crouse. Allison Williams's father is NBC Nightly News
anchor Brian Williams.
Allison Williams has a clause in
her contract for this show stipulating that she will not do any full nudity.
The four titular characters -
Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna - only appear together in twelve scenes
over the entire series.

FILM 1368: THE FALLING
British director Carol Morley’s
follow-up to her breakthrough hit Dreams of a Life is a feverish exploration of
raging hormones and teenage angst set against a brilliantly beguiling backdrop
of a mysterious outbreak of mass-hysterical fainting at an English girls’
school in the late 1960s.
Abbie and Lydia are best of
friends, with a particular intensity that comes with the friendship between
sixteen-year-old girls. Abbie (newcomer Florence Pugh) is the undisputed
leader, full of natural charisma and magnetism. Lydia (Games of Thrones’ best
Bristolian Maisie Williams) is fixated on her friend, having long been
emotionally abandoned by her agoraphobic single mum (Maxine Peake) and a father
she never knew. But when Abbie begins to experiment with boys, including with
her best friend’s magic-obsessed brother, Lydia’s fragile world quickly starts
to unravel. And when first she and then other girls too at the school begin to
faint en-mass, to the consternation of the school authorities, an occult-like
strangeness begins to pervade the lives of all those involved.
Like a British riff on Picnic at
Hanging Rock in its exploration of female friendship (and competition),
burgeoning sexuality, and the supernatural unexplained; this bold head-rush of
a film is confirmation that Morley is fast becoming one of Britain’s most
distinctive and exciting filmmakers. (http://www.watershed.co.uk/whatson/6506/the-falling)
TRIVIA: Florence Pugh (Abbie) is a
singer songwriter in real life.

1067: The Call
Trivia: In
the opening scene, one of the callers into the 911 centre states "I think
I'm having an overdose and so is my wife" - the line made famous by Edward
Sanchez, a policeman who confiscated marijuana from a suspect and then made
brownies with it. He called 911 when he thought he had taken too much.
