Well, my answers kind of contradict each other in a way, because what drew me to the film was getting to play Louise Brooks and getting to play a real, iconic person and explore what that’s like and to research her and get as in-depth as I could. What initially drew you to the film and how aware were you of Louise Brooks?

I recently spoke with Richardson about “The Chaperone,” portraying a real person, and working with first-time filmmakers. READ MORE: ‘The Chaperone’ Trailer: Haley Lu Richardson Stars In New Film From The Writer & The Director Of ‘Downton Abbey’ She’s an exciting talent and, for her latest venture in “ The Chaperone,” she was given the chance to explore a different side of the acting spectrum by playing a character based on a real person, the iconic, flapper icon Louise Brooks. Richardson’s range is daunting, always managing to bring a level of humanism to her characters that allows our hearts to ache for her in the lowest moments or soar throughout her triumphs. Not new to the screen, Richardson first stole focus in the phenomenal coming of age flick “ Edge of Seventeen” and managed to make an afterthought of a character be presented with agency in the surprisingly decent “ Split.” However, it was with her role in “ Columbus,” and then, a scene-stealing role in last year’s underseen “ Support the Girls” that allowed her to fully come into her own and declare herself one of the most versatile new talents on the scene. While her last film “ Five Feet Apart” didn’t do much to thrill us, there’s no denying that in the brief moments the film worked, it worked because of the performance Haley Lu Richardson turned in.
