After ‘Drive-Away Dolls,’ Geraldine Viswanathan is ready for her next lesbian movie CHRIS AZZOPARDI | Q Syndicate It’s quite the compliment to her time filming Drive-Away Dolls that Geraldine Viswanathan, after playing her first onscreen queer role, would “do anything” to make it happen again. “If I can weasel my way in there, honey, I’m going to.
I’ll hold the boom. I’ll do catering,” says Viswanathan, an Australian actress who is part Swiss and part Indian and who earned recognition for her breakout role in 2018’s teen sex comedy Blockers.
She might be in luck, considering the filmmaking team behind Drive-Away Dolls. Ethan Coen of the Coen brothers and longtime film editor Tricia Cooke, who is Coen’s wife and also an out lesbian (they’ve been in an open marriage for over 20 years) told me recently that they are just getting started.
The film is the creators’ first lesbian B-movie in a planned trilogy of sorts. It stars Viswanathan as Marian, who’s yet to be laid much to the dismay of her freewheeling best friend, Jamie (Margaret Qualley), Jamie has recently gone through a nasty breakup with her girlfriend Sukie (Beanie Feldstein).
