As a youngster, Amanda’s interactions with her dad were limited to her watching him in movies.
But as she insisted toRolling Stone,that was fine by her.
“It’s not a sob story, that’s just the way it was.
I love my father… We get together now, and we have a great time.”
Like both her parents, Amanda became an on-screen and on-stage actress.
You’ll recognize her from her roles inPulp Fiction,The Hunger Games,and Ratched(viaIMDb).
But Amanda didn’t always think she’d follow in her parents' footsteps.
Once upon a time, she might have been a veterinarian.
“I never wanted to go into the theater,” she explained.
“I never even liked actors…
I thought they were all liars.”
Or it might be that she just doesn’t fit inside a box.
“I found a happy medium that I am a boy and I am a girl.
You’re everything, so it’s okay,” she recounted toRolling Stone.
Above all, Amanda has stories to tell.
Like the time she met Tennessee Williams on the set of a play.
Or when, upon meeting Hollywood legend Sir Laurence Olivier, her hair caught on fire.
Olivier promptly told her, “You’ve upstaged me” (viaThe Hollywood Reporter).
She is, unequivocally, alive.
