MCDONNELL: How was it working with Kristen
Stewart, who plays you in the film? What did you tell her? How did she study
you?JETT: Well, I found Kristen to be through and
through totally professional and just great to be around. I found us to be
really, scarily similar, just in our physicality, the way we move through space.
The first time we met was a little over a year ago, New Year's Eve. She came to
see us do a concert. We hung out for the whole day, and I just dumped on her
about everything I could think about The Runaways-I mean, the good, the bad, and
the ugly. I told her all that stuff and how much it meant to me. Then she went
off to do New Moon, and I didn't see her again until about two weeks
before The Runaways thing started. But she is so authentic. The thing
that came through to me was that it was important to her to capture it. She
really wanted to nail it. So I gave her all The Runaways music that I could
find; I gave her tapes of me talking. . . . When we were together prior to the
start of filming, she was staring at me the whole time. And I was fine with it
because I knew she was watching my posture, my mannerisms, everything I did, the
way I hold my hands, just everything. And she really soaked it in. When we were
hanging out together on set, it was like I had a mirror image. Even just sitting
around, we'd do the same thing at the same time. It was just great-and it wasn't
creepy. It was wonderfully special.
