She seems very interesting to me in both acting and style. I really liked her look from yesterday's MET Gala.

Greta Gerwig (born August 4, 1983) is an American actress and filmmaker. Gerwig is best known for her association with the mumblecore movement. She has collaborated with director Joe Swanberg on several projects, including the film Nights and Weekends, which the two co-wrote, co-directed and co-starred in.
A native of Sacramento, California, Gerwig graduated from Barnard College, where she studied English and philosophy. Originally intending to become to a playwright, Gerwig was cast in a minor role in Joe Swanberg's LOL in 2006 while still studying at Barnard and from there began a fruitful partnership with the director and an association with other mumblecore filmmakers. Commenting on her work in Greenberg and other films, New York Times critic A. O. Scott described her as "ambassador of a cinematic style that often seems opposed to the very idea of style" and said that "Ms. Gerwig, most likely without intending to be anything of the kind, may well be the definitive screen actress of her generation . . . She seems to be embarked on a project, however piecemeal and modestly scaled, of redefining just what it is we talk about when we talk about acting."

The whole world’s going to the dogs, so what do we need? Battalions of tap-dancing girls in ankle socks and flimsy shorts! Then (1933), as now, the chorines pound the boards (in Emporio Armani). Hopefuls wait their turn in assorted prêt-à-porter while choreographer Engstrom and director Messina emote. Will the show go on? When will it not?
