Austin Strip Clubs: A note on commenting
Sevigny — known for “Kids,” “Boys Don’t Cry,” “American Psycho,” “Zodiac” and HBO’s “Big Love,” for which she won a Golden Globe this year— loved D’Arienzo’s script for “Barry Munday,” finding it “charming, humorous and very tender.”
She originally went for the lead role, Ginger, played to comic perfection by Greer. “There aren’t a lot of great parts for females out there, obviously,” Sevigny said.
When Greer got the part, “I said, ‘I want to be in it even more now that Judy’s in it.’ She’s one of my favorite actresses. Since ‘Jawbreaker’ I’ve been a huge fan of hers.”
Sevigny’s character, Ginger’s salacious younger sister, secretly dances at a strip club that Wilson’s character frequents.
“That was me dancing, sadly,” Sevigny laughs. “I always promised myself I’d never play a stripper or a hooker, but I did this because it was comedic.”
