She Describes Nine Perfect Strangers As Her Personal Acting "Masterclass"
For Van Patten, portraying Zoe Marconi in Nine Perfect Strangers was an opportunity to break out of the indie film space and learn from the greats. Talking with Australian site Nine, she recalled feeling "mesmerised" by Nicole Kidman's presence and described filming as a "masterclass" for honing her craft. Van Patten had similar things to say in her interview with Vogue, where she called Nine Perfect Strangers "life-changing" and working with Kidman and producer David E. Kelley "too good to be true."
