Edwina Throsby sits down with the vibrant star of Say Anything, River’s Edge and Gas, Food, Lodging for a conversation about her life and career, including her unusual relationship with her father, the ’60s pop superstar Donovan, her rocky romances with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Anthony Kiedis and Beastie Boy Adam Horowitz, and her experience standing up to sexism as a young, aspiring performer in the industry. She also reflects on finding peace with her current partner, musician Ben Lee, raising her own children, and making Sydney her current home.
