Writer-director Azazel Jacobs wrote His Three Daughters with Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen in mind. He knew all three actors—and, more importantly, their ambitions. “They’re still searching for something that they may not have had a chance to express,” Jacobs tells Vanity Fair in our exclusive deep dive into the movie.
His Three Daughters earned raved reviews at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, which led to a splashy Netflix pickup and early awards buzz for its main trio of actors. This is truly intimate filmmaking, leaving the actors to introduce established personas before diving into daringly vulnerable places. “All three of us as actors really show up from a very open, honest place, knowing that there’s no time to have too many boundaries,” says Olsen. “We all fell in love with each other very quickly.”
Elsewhere in our Hollywood coverage, we’ve got the first excerpt of a new book about the “epic sci-fi summer of 1982,” The Future Was Now; we dig into Kamala Harris’s social circle in LA, and talk to some of her longtime devoted friends; our Old Hollywood Book Club scours tomes about Judy Garland for a fuller picture of the legend; and we unpack the ways the Presumed Innocent series veered away from the Scott Turow novel when it came time to reveal the killer.
