CATHY & HARRY, 40min., USA

What motivated you to make this film?
We thought these two were special people, whose work and relationship should be documented.

Quote from Hollywood Reporter interview:

So it was 2019 and I was playing the female lead in this Broadway show called Be More Chill. And simultaneously, I was shooting season three of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. So it was a really crazy year for me. I was doing eight shows a week, and on Mondays, I was filming for Maisel, while on top of that, doing press. And then Maisel wrapped and Be More Chill closed around the same time. I had lived in New York for 11 years and I was starting to feel like, “Oh, I think I’m ready for some change.” But first, I knew that my friend Bowen Yang was doing a show called Nora from Queens, and this was before Bowen was announced on SNL. I don’t think he even got it yet, but he was doing Nora from Queens. And I was like, “Well, Bowen and I used to do comedy together in college. I’m sure there’s a dumb role available for me on that show…” So I did episode 108 and played a character named Shu Shu. And episode 108 just so happened to be directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert [Daniels]. Daniel Scheinert tells this story of when I walked into the audition room for that role, we all kept giggling as if we had been friends forever, and he was thinking in his head, “Stop embarrassing us, this is a work setting!” So even though we had only known each other for five minutes, we immediately had this very art-soulmate connection. And we had so much fun filming that episode. Simu Liu is in it. Jamie Chung, Harry Shum Jr.. We all had so much fun, so I was like, “I have to go to L.A. because I know that there are other young creatives who are just as weird as them and just as weird as me and are making cool things…” So I went to L.A. and within a week of me being there, the boys called me and said, “Hey, we’re working on [Everything Everywhere All at Once]. No pressure, but we think you’d be really great for it. Are you interested?” And without knowing Michelle Yeoh was attached, without knowing it was A24, I immediately was like, “Anything you guys do, I’m there.” I have always understood their sense of humor, but when I read the script, what really captured me was the depth and the soul of the family story, and also the very profound question of “What if?” or “Is the life that I’m living enough?” or “Could I have chosen a different path?”. So I’ve always believed in it, but I could’ve never imagined the response that we’re getting right now. It’s completely beyond any of our wildest dreams.

Happy Birthday Christina Applegate

QUOTES

  • [on her sitcom Married… with Children (1987)] The show definitely shocked and disgusted people. But privately, they enjoyed laughing at it. I think all too often people look at the perfect families on television and think, “Why can’t my family be like that?” In the case of “Married with Children”, people were able to say, “Thank God my family’s not like that!”
  • I’ve always been shy and sort of vulnerable. My mom says that when she would drop me off at school, I’d stand back and check out the situation–see if it was safe before I’d join the other kids.
  • [on how she coped with being a television star in her teens] I wasn’t one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.
  • [on her husband, actor Johnathon Schaech (they’ve since divorced)] We’re best friends. And that spark is always there. I can’t wait to see him, even though I saw him a few hours ago.
  • I started doing radio commercials for K-mart when I was four. They had to splice all my consonants together because I couldn’t talk very well. But these jobs helped my mother and me put food on the table. It took the two of us working.

  • We all can relate to people’s weaknesses. We might put up a facade that everything is perfect but none of us are. When we see that weakness in somebody else, we understand or give ourselves a little bit of leeway.
  • We don’t know why we are here and the context of our role in the universe, and the thought of an infinite universe. It’s something the human mind can’t really grasp. It’s statistically impossible that there’s not life on other planets.
  • ‘The Killing’ has a really great combination of qualities: Even though it’s very sad and deals with mourning and grief, it’s still exciting. It’s about real people and it doesn’t shy from the painful points of life.
  • It’s technically demanding to shoot in 3-D. It’s an extra element. Also, just the size of the cameras. They look like these ‘Transformers’ monsters; they are incredibly big, many of them.
  • I went to high school in Texas for one year, my senior year. My parents wanted me to get out of Stockholm because I was running with the wrong crew. They wanted me to get back to my roots.
