Marielle Heller insists she never imagined that “The Queen’s Gambit” would be such a huge hit.
“Queen’s Gambit” has been so popular, however, that a jump in sales of chess sets has been linked back to the series. A foray into writing led to directing. She jumped at the chance to be in “The Queen’s Gambit” when her longtime friend and series director, writer and co-creator Scott Frank offered her the role. Heller says they’ve joked about developing a prequel focused on Alma’s earlier years. “All the stars aligned for this project to happen for me,” she explains. “I do tend to have a really busy schedule… Scott has tried to get me to be in projects before and I’ve never had time.
She was so brilliant in QueensGambit
Lady in Ermine loves The Queen’s Gambit and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood for the craft and the moment. Thank you, Marielle Heller.
Yes
Directors are the best actors
Didn't realise she had also directed A Beautiful Day. Both great films.
marcmalkin Honestly, it’s less about chess and more about how this young orphaned girl finds an interest that enables her to compete and excell. 💕 I love the show.
Marielle Heller also accused a black woman of lying about rape in the middle of metoo and then just deleted her tweets when she started getting backlash for it. But yeah, what a success her show was !
