20 years of The Princess Diaries | Heather Matarazzo in conversation with Maria Lewis

As someone who has been working in the entertainment industry since they were six, with dozens of films and television properties to their name, it’s always The Princess Diaries that people want Heather Matarazzo to talk about. More specifically, her role of outspoken and occasionally obnoxious best friend Lilly Moscovitz. It’s not surprising really, given the Meg Cabot novel series it’s based on – which is still ongoing – is a global best-seller and the film itself went on to be an unexpected hit for Disney in 2001. The story and the characters and the pop culture zeitgeist of it all have endured in a way that means the coming-of-age romantic comedy is still on the tip of peoples tongues even 20 years later. “I’m always surprised and honoured when a piece of work that I do gets to be embraced generation after generation,” Matarazzo told ACMI.

Heather spoke to Maria Lewis to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this much loved, coming of age rom-com.
