project that you really want to be a part of, it’s so, ‘Hold on for dear life,’ and there are very few well-written young women roles. I just loved her sense of self. I mean, she’s a very patient person and I just had a lot of admiration for her ambition. But the fact that she really did have this strong self, face with Billy’s character and all these crazy obstacles in her life, she succeeded, you know.”

In noting that, we asked her of the depth of the parallels between her own personality and Lucy’s.

“I’d like to think so,” Moore replies, “I’m not quite as confident as she is in her self, but I related hopefully to that sense of patience and ambition.”

Justin Theroux is best known for the film adaptations of Strangers With Candy and Miami Vice. We asked Moore how she felt working with him.

“It was different in the sense that I never worked with an actor/director before, so I felt very comfortable, very safe,” she recalls, “I think because [Justin Thoreux] was so prepared. He knew exactly what he wanted, not just of the cast, but the movie in general. It made it so much easier being nervous walking into the experience where you’re working with everybody.

“I don’t know,” Mandy replies, “I just sort of go back and forth between the two. I don’t really think of myself as one or the other. I just feel lucky to do both.”

And finally, with Moore only 23 years old and already a popular and beloved actress, we inevitably asked her how she’s managed to keep her private and professional life relatively enjoyable, without being compromised by the watchful, glaring eye of the tabloid press, which has recently plagued similarly talented young actresses like Lindsay Lohan.

“I think it’s a balance of both really,” Mandy states, “Honestly, I’m not really interested in living my private life in a very public way. I love what I get to do and I wouldn’t want to put anyone or myself in any kind of position to jeopardize it. I have a good family, I have great friends, and I have a great support system, I don’t know. It all ...
