The Paul Thomas Anderson House Party Story
At 50:10 · chapter starts 49:40
Sean asks Amy about working with Paul Thomas Anderson — specifically whether her eyes lit up when that call came in. Amy's answer goes further: she met him at a house party before they worked together. A mutual friend was drunk and acting silly, and Anderson was encouraging it. Ten weeks pregnant and unannounced, Amy intervened sharply, telling Anderson it was 'highly irresponsible.' The moment she said it, she realized who she'd just lectured. She looked at her husband Darren and whispered that she'd just yelled at her favorite filmmaker of all time and would never get to work with him. Instead, she was cast in The Master. She jokes that maybe he thought: 'Who's that girl who can yell at Philip Seymour Hoffman?' She still feels something approaching awe any time she hears from him.
