Alana surprisingly goes way back with Anderson. While speaking to Interview on 25 Oct., the star revealed her mother was Anderson's art teacher in elementary school. Once Anderson grew up and became a director, he became a fan of Haim and invited the group over to his house for dinner. He had no idea about his connection to the sisters until Este revealed her mother's identity. Afterward, Haim and Anderson became friends and frequent collaborators. He's directed several of the band's videos, including "Summer Girl" and "The Steps." Eventually, Anderson reached out to Alana about starring in Licorice Pizza.
