A small excerpt from a bigger interview, where Juno tells us how she got cast as Lucy, the main character in ‘Little Birds (the series)’ + a new promo image:

“I auditioned for it about two years before we shot, actually. I did a self tape and gave it my all. I had to do one of the scenes, a scene where I’ve just gotten a gold dress (…) and I come out and I’m like, ‘Oh goodness I’m not sure I can wear this because it’s see-through’. I actually have this great vintage 1970’s see-through gown that I put on in the tape, thinking I’d be forward thinking, risque or whatever. It worked well, I guess!”

‘The other two scenes were no longer in the script when I actually did a second screen test (…). Lucy changed a lot actually. She developed, I thought, into a slightly more, grown up version of what was initially there on the page. So one of scenes I had to audition for was a screaming fight with Hugo at a country club in Tangier, while we were playing tennis. It was fun to audition for it but I was happy it didn’t actually end up in the final scripts.” 

“But I got to test with Stacie (Passon, the director), she flew out to LA and workshopped three different scenes with me. She told me she really wanted me, and she wanted to convince Sky that I could play Lucy and carry the audience into this beautiful world of extraordinary misfits through her eyes, so that was pretty cool.”

“They wanted Lucy cast first, and then I had a scheduling conflict, so they actually pushed for a little bit, which is amazing. I have not had that happen. It happens very rarely. It ended up being all in all about two years from the first audition to actually being on set and breathing life into her.”
