Judy Greer Answers All Our Questions About Jawbreaker

Following in the footsteps of Heathers, Jawbreaker gave us teen femmes dolled up to heights approaching drag. It gave us evil-in-carnate in all-time high school hellcat Courtney Shayne (Rose McGowan). And it cemented its mission to give the gays everything they wanted by serving up double the Judy Greer as both mousy outsider Fern Mayo and her vampire glam alter ego, Vylette. Greer’s performance was, to be extra but accurate, everything. She sat silently in awe of the dream girl, then seduced the school in skin tight manic panic pink pedal pushes. She was a makeover montage fantasy, and she was the beginning of our collective long-term relationship with Greer. In honor of this legacy, culture journalist Jordan Crucchiola checked in with the actress to discuss her cult hit, get the details on what it was like (scary!!) to square off with queen demon, Courtney Shayne, and talk about the notes people still pass her all these years to say they loved the film.
