Grace Van Dien tells us all about how StrangerThings changed the game, her photographic memory, and her new movie, 'Roost' ...
Hope you’re ready to see a lot more of Grace Van Dien. She already had quite a bit of experience before playing Chrissy, but when you book a show like Stranger Things, your star is bound to soar, and soar it did — big time. While Chrissy is highly unlikely to return in Stranger Things 5, Van Dien is keeping mighty busy elsewhere with a slew of other upcoming projects, including her new feature film Roost directed by Amy Redford.
“Amy, I never told you this because I was very embarrassed and shy about it, but when I was 11, my dad showed me Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and it's been my favorite movie ever since.” “The writer of Roost is a playwright out in New York named Scott Organ, who I adore and he's a wonderful writer, and he sent me his play and it was COVID times and I said, not only is this a brilliant play, but it could be a brilliant movie for this moment.
“She is the product of a single mom and the kind of symbiotic relationship that that can be and sometimes, in order to make things work, it has to be a little bit of role reversal. Sometimes you're the child, sometimes you're the parent, and I think that's a condition that Anna grew up with very much. And also Grace brings to the table a kind of very quiet confidence that I think Anna really needed. She had to be smart because we don't want to undermine who she is.
“Kyle Gallner’s so talented, so every scene with him I was like, ‘Whoa, I didn't think this would be as demanding and amazing as it could be.’ But he's just so brilliant that I felt like every scene I had with him, I was like, ‘I have to step up my game.’”
