“She appreciates all the theater, but she certainly knows what she feels close to and what she responds to. ‘She went to see The Outsiders in La Jolla about five times and she told me about it, and I had read the book and seen the movie years ago.’
Angelina later watched the project with her daughter and noted the effect it had on Vivienne, adding, “…she was learning what was important to her and why it connected so deeply with her.”
The producers soon reached out to the mother-daughter duo and asked them to share their thoughts on the production. “So Viv and I sat together and wrote what we liked and what interested us.”
‘And they responded to our notes. For me, it was a time to learn more about Viv, not to think about becoming a producer.”
The actress added, “I think at some point, I felt like the team seemed to feel like we were contributing, so I really wanted to be supportive and listen and share my thoughts when it was helpful.”
‘Most of the time, I was just listening. I have a lot of respect for Danya and her work,” she said, referring to director Danya Taymor.
