The Making of the Movie Drool


Laura Harring’s breakout role as the mysterious “Rita” in David Lynch’s atmospheric masterpiece Mulholland Drive brought her much critical acclaim. Compared and likened to glamorous stars of another era, Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner, Laura Harring carries the mystery that audiences love and the camera adores. Harring’s take on her femme fatale character has haunted audiences for over a decade and fans still talk about it in social media and chat rooms across the internet. Mulholland Drive was recently voted The Best Movie of the 21st Century in multiple polls. 

Laura Harring won an Outfest Award as Outstanding Actress for her portrayal of an abused wife on the run in Nancy Kissam’s 2009 indie comedy Drool. Kissam was a first-time director when she helmed the movie, which she also wrote. The screenplay for the film had generated considerable buzz before shooting began and eventually won a Slamdance competition. Drool was shot in August while Louisiana was having a heat wave, the rented trailers had faulty air conditioners that didn’t work, therefore the actors were soaking wet because of the humidity and had no where to sit, making filming the movie intense. Drool went on to garner a couple of awards for the star of the movie, Laura Harring.
