Greta Gerwig
This emblematic face of independent cinema will have more exposure next year. In February, the thirty-year-old will appear alongside Natalie Portman in the Jackie Kennedy biopic, ‘Jackie.’ But there’s another movie that might get her noticed as well — 20th Century Women. Her performance in the comedy with Annette Bening and Elle Fanning, scheduled for March, could bring her an Oscar nomination. Greta Gerwig was also chosen for the voice cast of Isle in Wes Anderson’s ‘Dog’, alongside Hollywood stars like Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray and Tilda Swinton.
