Ready, Haim, Fire
A year ago, I posted an episode here of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me! when the guest contestants were the sister rock-group Haim. (One thing I recall is them talking about getting their start as a family cover-band with their parents at Canter's Deli in Los Angeles.) They were absolutely charming -- so when I saw that Alana Haim was going to be a guest last night on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, I thought I’d tune in. She's making her movie acting debut in the romantic comedy, Licorice Pizza, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (who's made such films as Boogie Nights, There Will Be Blood, and Magnolia.)
She was absolutely adorable, funny and ingenuous, and it’s a joy of an interview. And that shouldn't have come as a big surprise, because when I went back and found videos of several other interviews with the three sisters, they not only were all charming, but she was clearly the most talkative of them...by far. As in -- by far. (In fact, in that Wait, Wait... segment above, only two of the sisters were available -- and yes, she's one of them.)
It's really a lot of fun, so I thought I'd post it here.
