Lili Taylor

Studio 360

You might know her as Lisa from Six Feet Under. Or maybe you remember her as the depressive folk singer in Say Anything, or as Andy Warhol’s would-be-killer Valerie Solanas in I Shot Andy Warhol. Lili Taylor has stolen a lot of scenes over the years — and left audiences wondering exactly where they’ve seen her before. Kurt Andersen talks with the indie queen about her craft and why she needs to build her characters from the ground up.
