Madison Davenport plays Ruthie, Abigail Breslin’s best friend, in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, which is in theaters this Wednesday (July 2). Madison stopped by the Blog Girl headquarters to say hi. Check out our chat:
Us: So tell me about Ruthie.
Madison: I’m Kit’s best friend! My character is the banker’s daughter and in the 1930s (when the movie takes place) there was the Depression and people were losing their homes because of the banks so when Kit loses her home she kind of blames it a little bit on Ruthie. The whole movie is about learning how to get through hard times and still be friends. Oh yeah, and there’s a mystery too!
Us: Since the movie takes place in the 1930s, did you have to do a lot of research for your role?
Madison: I love history so when I found out about this movie I thought it sounded really cool. Some of the costumes were actually vintage and it was so different wearing them — you had to be proper and ladylike.
Us: Do you and Abigail still keep in touch?
Madison: Oh yeah, we text and call each other. She’s in New York so she’s three hours ahead and we had to figure the time change out! She’s really great. Not only is she a great actress, but she’s also really down to earth.
Us: Any embarrassing moments on set?
Madison: Abigail and I were goofing around and talking in baby voices and all of a sudden they were like, ‘Cut!’ and we were like, ‘Oh no, were you filming that?’ They were playing a prank on us!
