Alana Haim who plays Alana Kane in Licorice Pizza tells a truck story

We had a crazy amazing stunt team that was very patient with me and I vividly remember meeting the truck for the first time. I remember Billy, one of the stunt coordinators was trying to put it in reverse. He said you’re going to have a rough time putting this in reverse and I was determined, I was like, it’s you and me, we’re going to do this, we’re going to — I’m going to put you in reverse, I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it and after 15 minutes I talked to her.  I said, we’re going to do this together, we’re going to get through it and I remember the second that I put that car in reverse, I put that clutch in, I put it in reverse and I started going backwards and that was the day that I became Alana Kane.
