Star-studded "Hollywood" won two little gold men at the 92nd Academy Awards, but who is the "favorite" of director Quentin Tarantino? The answer may not be Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, nor Margot Robbie, Dakota Fanning, but in the film with Pitt Many interactive hippie girls "cats", Margaret Curry, post-90s flower.

Margaret is the daughter of Andy McDowell, the heroine of the classic movie "Four Weddings, One Funeral," and now she is regarded by the industry as the most promising star with her own strength. His latest work "When I Become Salinger" was released as the opening film at the 70th Berlin Film Festival, and was evaluated by the media as "the youth version of" The Queen in Prada "".

Being able to do business and literature, Margaret Curry is getting wider and wider, but she still lacks a sense of security: "I think I may be replaced at any time."

Audition for Quentin videos, not that simple

Margaret Curry always said in a media interview that she was lucky, but the phrase "lucky" doesn't tell everything. In fact, her first audition for "Let's Hollywood" failed. At the time, the director and the producer asked her to read a line and sing a song, and she felt good about herself: "That day I was well-groomed to audition and hope to show the most beautiful side. After audition, I felt very good. The agent told me that I was defeated, and I felt terrible. "

Later, Quentin re-watched the video of her audition and decided to give her another chance to audition her with Pete. This is the first time Margaret has collaborated with Quentin and Pete, and she is a little over-excited: "It makes me feel bad because I am a big fan of Quentin and Pete. They are very good and kind. I was late for that audition, and Quentin asked me to sit on the chair beside me. I sat there watching the script, and after a minute I realized that I was in DiCaprio's chair, which scared me. "

As for the content of the audition, Margaret said: "It was a simple scene. I sat on the couch with Pete and pretended that we were sitting in the car, which was a 1-minute play." The audition effect made Quentin very satisfied. In this way, Margaret was given the role of a hippie girl "cat". And this trial of Margaret and Pete is the most vivid part of "Hollywood"-"Cat" took on Cliff's downwind ride played by Pete and went to the gathering place of the Manson family.

It turned out that Quentin's choice was not wrong. Due to the length of time, almost every actor in "Hollywood" has been cut in half, and some actors have even been cut off, such as "Marine Pianist" Tim Rose and "Laser Eye" James Maxden, only Margaret Curry's play remains intact. Quentin himself also said: "Her drama is really good, any editing will be left."

"Bracket + hot pants", learn to break through self

Margaret said that making Quentin's scenes was a very interesting experience: "I don't think he knows exactly what to shoot every day. A group of us sway on the set together every day-this is the typical Quentin Style. This feels cool to me, because I'm lucky to be hanging out with Quentin and Pete and observe them up close. So I always take a small notebook with me and record everything they say, which is really great Now. "

To her, Quentin is like a child: "His enthusiasm for work is visible to the naked eye. Every time he appears on the set, he is like a child at Christmas. He will proudly show me his studio And small objects designed for the film, such as Apple cigarettes and DiCaprio's humanoid stand. "

During the filming, Margaret was most impressed by a rival scene between her and Pete. At that time, she suddenly had an impulse to improvise: "I suddenly wanted to make some strange behavior or make a strange sound during the filming, but I held back. "At this moment Quentin walked to her and said softly in her ear:" I feel you have something to express. Don't be surprised to do it! "Margaret followed Quentin's suggestion ,good results. It also made her trust in Quentin: "His intuition is really sharp."

This trust made Margaret gradually open her self, such as showing her long legs: "There is a scene where I need to put my legs barefoot on the windshield of Pete's car and take close-up shots. I am very Resisting, because I have practiced ballet since I was a child, my feet are a bit deformed. But the director insisted that I show my feet, saying that this is my characteristic. "Another breakthrough was in clothing. In the film, the "cat" played by Margaret is always a cool dress of "tube top + hot pants", but she is a bit conservative in life: "I like to wear long-sleeved shirts, trousers or Long knee-length skirts, hot pants and tube tops make me feel uneasy. But clothing does change a person's feeling, it pushes me into the world of the cat. "

There is a famous mother,

Once resisted being an actor

Margaret is an out-of-the-box "Star II", her mother Andy McDowell has starred in classics such as "sex, lies, videotapes", "four weddings and a funeral", "groundhog day" In the video, her father is a model and they divorced when Margaret was 5 years old. And Margaret perfectly inherited the fine genes of her parents.

Margaret admits that she is not close to her mother and only recently saw her mother's masterpiece "Four Weddings and a Funeral". "Who wants to see mom kiss other handsome guys? It's weird." She didn't want to work in Hollywood at first. "I don't want to act because mom is an actor ... I don't think many people want to go the way of their parents."

Her initial dream was to be a ballet dancer. She began to learn ballet when she was two years old. She left home to study at the North Carolina Academy of Art at the age of 14 and won a performance invitation from the North Carolina Dance Theater Company at the age of 16. The dream seemed to be close at hand, but she hesitated: "In that world, every time you arrive, someone will measure your height, weight, and fat ratio, and then tell you whether it exceeds the standard. I suddenly realized that I did not love ballet so much."

During those days of disorientation, Margaret went on to perform classes on the advice of her friends while being a model. And the first class dispelled her long-standing resistance: "My feeling at that time was: oh my, my feelings are fully opened, this is what I want! What have I been doing all these years?"

New film Berlin unveiled, "has shadow of Hepburn"

In addition to "Hollywood", she also has other outstanding works: focusing on the famous filmmaker, choreographer Bob Fossey and Broadway legendary dancer Gwen Woden, "Fosey and Woden", let She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Primetime Emmy Awards Miniseries / TV Movie in 2019; she starred in "When I Become Salinger" and became the opening film of the 70th Berlin Film Festival.

Foreign media praised Margaret's performance: "She is a real movie star, and you can see the shadow of Audrey Hepburn in her."

However, Margaret lacked confidence in herself. In her opinion, she is still a new actor who may be replaced at any time. The good thing is that she no longer finds her mother's fame a bother for her. She frankly said, "In fact, it definitely helps me. But I must do my best to make myself worthy of this." privilege'."
