.GoldenGlobes nominated actress BeanieFeldstein chatted with us about her role in 'Booksmart.'
The scene: spring 2017, a Manhattan restaurant, the season’s Tony contenders swanning about. Beanie Feldstein was a few months out of premiering what would become her breakout screen role, in “Lady Bird,” and was on the Tonys circuit for her Broadway debut performance in “Hello, Dolly!” Just then, coming down the stairs, there was Olivia Wilde.
The script, in some iteration, had been floating around for several years, and when it landed with Wilde , it got the makeover that is earning it an early reputation as a kind of “Bridesmaids” for 2019: women being funny, crass and, shockingly enough, at the center of the action. She’s also immediately and incredibly warm and intimate, remembering names, asking questions, and generally making you feel as if you might just be best friends in a matter of minutes. She and Dever had never met before “Booksmart,” but they moved in together during the 26-day shoot and are prone to burst into displays of adoration on the “Booksmart” press tour’s various stops.
“And that actually is something that does exist within my personality,” Feldstein says. “She is sort of like Paris Geller meets Lisa Simpson with a little bit of Sandra Bullock in ‘Miss Congeniality.’ I liked the idea of showing that a girl can be silly and loose with her friends and also be really intense and kind of biting at school.”
