Glamorous Trash: A Celebrity Memoir Podcast · Lena Dunham’s Memoir Famesick (with Sierra Teller Ornelas and Brian Bahe) · 28 Apr 2026 podcast

It's based in part on these journals by her mother, Lori Simmons, who's a very famous artist and photographer in New York at the time and still is.

And her mother raises from like her clients and people that she knows like $20,000.

They make this movie.

her sibling stars in the film as well as her mother and it wins it wins the like jury prize at South by Southwest which is just like if you don't know like a whirlwind experience to be writing something in three days making it in a couple weeks and then suddenly you're like the toast of South by Southwest when it was like I feel like not at its height but it was sort of like the new Sundance at that time yeah if you were into like film and like indie stuff South by Southwest was kind of like the pinnacle in a way

So I was just like, I felt like I was like being whisked through this portion of just kind of like, it's the sort of biopic, like rise to stardom.

Like when you're watching like Ray or Elvis or something, you're just like, oh my God.

A thousand.

The town is littered with like terrible short films and the way too long features that should have been short films.

And like she made

this thing that was so personal and so herself.

And so then she takes a Southwest flight home and she starts getting all these emails from managers and talent agents and agencies asking to meet with her.

And she like doesn't know what to do.

And she's sort of freaking out.

And so she goes, my mom, whether in ramshackle real estate or at a seemingly picked over sample sale has always sensed an opportunity and her instincts kicked in.

She knew enough to know something was happening.

And unlike so many momagers, she wasn't the right person to guide me.

But that is a drinko, guys.

So whenever a memoir mentions a momager, we have to take a drink.

So technically, that is a mention.

But she says that her mother, Lori, only had one contact in Hollywood, and she called him.
