Kitty Green, the director of the forthcoming The Assistant, in which Julia stars as an employee of Harvey Weinstein, says, “When we were casting, we were looking for a lead who was not only an extraordinary talent but who also had a unique look that could cut through the drab fluorescent office lighting.” There’s a gap between her two front teeth. Her lips are thin (so rare, so retro) and usually emphasised by lipstick in man-eating red. At five feet four, she has a delicate frame but is not muscular. “She doesn’t look like anyone else.” Julia also doesn’t look like other twenty-something actresses. “She’s unique,” says Lily Tomlin, Julia’s co-star in the independent film Grandma. She’s some hard-to-pinpoint mix of Jean Harlow, Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe, and like all of those women, she has a look that is distinctly her own.
JULIA GARNER INTERVIEW ACCENT MOVIE
With her almond-shaped navy-blue eyes, dimples, and blond curls that frame her face like a golden aura, Julia might have emerged from a classic movie herself.
“And then when I was 12,” she says, “Netflix started with the DVDs that they would send to you, and I remember watching Taxi Driver for the first time on my laptop in bed.” Julia watched – and loved – All About Eve when she was just nine years old. “I used to watch with my parents, who were big movie fans,” says Julia, who is 25 and has starred in a spate of indie films but is best known for her ingenious turn as Ruth Langmore, the teenage matriarch of a family of petty criminals in Ozark, Netflix’s hit drama. As a child growing up in Riverdale, New York, Julia Garner, the second daughter of creative, cultured parents, watched a lot of classic movies.
