Fan Casting LYDIA GARDER in L Y I D I A

1951’s Alice, 1953’s Wendy Darling, Betty Boop’s flirty sadness, and Marilyn Monroe’s hypnotic fragility. A girl who “ran away from her ending.” She speaks like a bedtime story and never blinks at the same time twice. She claims to have been a dancer, a lover, and a murderer. Lyla represents idealized femininity twisted into madness. She might be a figment of Vincent’s mind, or a collective hallucination of every man in the city.
