Girl Interrupted is

quite the...

James Mangold is well respected.

North Country.

And Girl Interrupted.

Woo!

Okay, so Jillian, I can't tell you enough how excited I am to have you in Columbia, Missouri.

That is what got you your film and TV career.

And I think it's fair to say, you can tell me if I'm wrong here, but I think it's fair to say that you haven't shied away from playing gay or gay-coded.

There's Cynthia in Girl Interrupted.

You're a gay gym teacher in the Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher.

I'm your host, Asia Tabb.

Nearly 30 years after its release, Girl Interrupted continues to bring audiences together, including right here in central Pennsylvania.

And for people in the Harrisburg area, the film has a special connection.

Some of its scenes were filmed at recognizable local locations and members of the community got the chance to be part of a major Hollywood production.

Today, we're looking behind the scenes at how that happened.

Our guests are Peter Costelli, who grew up in the Harrisburg area and worked as a location assistant on Girl Interrupted.

He's since built a career in film and television production, and he currently works as a location manager for Grey's Anatomy.

We're also joined by Bob, a local actor who appeared as an extra in the film and experienced the production firsthand.

You blew up really quick after this.

Do you really think about it? I think Girl Interrupted was 97, and then, like...

The next big one she did after that was like Gone in 60 Seconds, 98, 99.

No,

a movie that was, like, kind of, like, a bunch of, like, Young girl, like teenagers, or supposed to be high school kids.

Well,

Girl Interrupted

she was in.

But you're a fool, I say that facetiously, you're a fool if you don't recognize that he is one of the greatest directors alive today.

He gave us the film that won Oscars in Girl, Interrupted.

He gave us the film that won Oscars in Walk the Line.

He gave us the film that shoulda won Oscars.

What do y'all think of the, uh, the first chunk of Tom Hanks' career?

Girl, I haven't seen half of these shit.

Oh, I loved The Money Pit.

That's, that's the Tom Hanks that stands out to you.

This is 1940 to '49.

Oh, man.

His Girl Friday, My Favorite Wife, The Philadelphia Story, P- Penny Serenade, Suspicion, The Talk of the Town, Destination Tokyo, Arsenic and Old Lace, None but the Lonely Heart, Notorious, The Bishop's Wife, The Bachelor and Bobby Soxer, and I Was a Male War Bride.

That was from 1940 to 1949 he did all those movies.

I don't think she is diagnosed with that in the movie, the main character, but that's, I think, a really good example of what complex PTSD environment can look like is the movie Precious.

And it's just that long term living situation of the same types of things, right? And Another movie, so I had mentioned Girl Interrupted, but another one that I read about that supposedly is about borderline personality disorder.

and there's one that I actually have seen.

It's called Welcome to Me.
