Elisabeth Moss shared insights into the filming of “Girl, Interrupted,” revealing a divided atmosphere on set between two groups: the “Winona Ryder camp” and the “Angelina Jolie camp.” Moss, who starred in the film at the age of 15, expressed feeling intimidated by the stars on set. She disclosed her affiliation with the Winona Ryder camp, describing the Angelina Jolie camp as “really cool” but daunting. Despite her apprehension, Moss later found that Jolie was friendly when they spoke, though she never brought up her initial feelings of intimidation.
Winona Ryder has also commented on her relationship with Jolie, stating that they kept their distance off-camera to maintain the character dynamics required by the film. Ryder emphasized Jolie’s need to view her solely as her character, Susanna, rather than as Winona herself. Although the two actresses didn’t develop a close bond during filming, Ryder spoke of their mutual respect for each other’s craft.
In another context, Mexican actress Eiza González spoke passionately about her love for her homeland, Mexico, despite the challenges she faces as an expatriate. González expressed pride in representing Mexican talent on a global stage, even when the support from her country isn’t always forthcoming. Despite facing criticism, González remains focused on her goals and continues to embrace her identity as a proud Mexican.
At the 2024 Met Gala, González paid homage to Mexico with her attire, wearing a stunning Del Core dress inspired by the vanilla orchid, Mexico’s national flower. The dress, adorned with layers of silk organza in shades of pink, ivory, and cream, captured the delicate beauty of the orchid’s petals. Designed to symbolize the connection to her homeland, González’s dress served as a testament to her cultural heritage and personal style, showcasing her pride in representing Mexico on the global stage.
