If Purdy, now 32, looks familiar, you mayhave recognized her from the cult classic Donnie Darko, which came out 15 yearsago. In the Richard Kelly-directed sci-fi film, Purdy plays Cherita Chen, abullied grade-school student, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal, Jena Malone and DrewBarrymore. 如果珀迪,今年也32岁了,看上去很面熟的话,说不定你会在15年前的一部电影《死亡幻觉》中认出她来。在这部理查德·凯利执导的科幻电影中,珀迪扮演了杰丽塔·陈,一个被欺负的高年级学生,和老吉,吉娜·马隆,德鲁·巴迪摩尔互不对付、
It also happened to be Purdy's very firstonscreen role. "It was my first audition for anything. It was an insaneproject to get to be a part of," the former child star, who has appearedon teen shows such as 10 Things I Hate About You, Gigantic, and Glee, says. Andconsidering the circumstance, Purdy couldn't help but fangirl on set,especially when it came to Barrymore, oh whom she had a girl crush on. "WhenI was sitting in the makeup trailer and she turned around to me and said, 'Hi,I'm Drew' I peed myself a little bit. It was amazing." 这也发生在珀迪的第一个银幕角色上。“那是我最开始的第一个试镜。去竞争成为他的一份子对当时的我而言是一份十分疯狂的行动,” 这位曾经的童星,参演过《对面的恶女看过来》,《不可思议》和《欢乐合唱团》如此说道。考虑到当时的情景,珀迪十分的激动尤其是当她巧遇巴里摩尔的时候,那个她深深崇拜的女星。“当我坐在化妆箱车上,她转身对我说‘嗨,我是德鲁’我当时都尿了,真的棒呆了了!”
While her role was minor, it becameinstantly quotable thanks to the phrasing "chut up," which was heronly line. 然而她只是个小角色,他能被人们记住也多亏了那句“憋说话!”这也是她当时唯一的台词。
"And then I swooned a little bit, youknow," Purdy continues, adding that she didn't think fans of Orange Is theNew Black would be familiar with her early work. "But it was a while ago,so I didn't really think this new generation would be recalling that farback." “我就很开心,你知道吗,”珀迪继续道,她补充说她没有想到《女子监狱》的粉丝在她早些的工作中会他的家人一样陪着她。“但这已经是很久之前了,所以我不认为这一代会想起这么久远的记忆。”
Now, of course, fans have embraced Purdy asStephanie on Orange Is the New Black, even as she remains unsure of her placein Litchfield. 如今,当然会因为珀迪在《女子监狱》里扮演Stephanie而欢呼,甚至即使他还没有确定自己在利奇菲尔德监狱的定位。
"The first few episodes I thought Iwas going to get fired. I didn't know what was going on," Purdy says. Thenshe turned to her cast mates, who told her no one was ever really sure what washappening or who exactly her character is. "You get what you need to knowwhen you need to know it." “前几集我以为我要被解雇了。我不知道发生了什么,”珀迪说。然后她向她的同伴寻求帮助,就是那个告诉她没有人真正确定发生了什么和她究竟是什么样的角色的人。“当你需要知道的时候你会得到你想知道的东西的。”
