In his answer, he chose the character from a horror classic: Wendy Torrancefrom The Shining (1980), originally performed by the late Shelley Duvall.
Years later, in conversation with AV Clubduring the dissemination of MaXXXine, Mia was asked about the comparisons made between her and her own Shelley. The young artist declared that she was a fan of her colleague and also mentioned her favorite films with the actress who died in July.
