Celebrity Reunion Reveals Years-Old Friendship Between Julia Stiles and Vanessa Carlton

LOS ANGELES, CA - In a recent interview with People magazine, singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton revealed that she has known actress Julia Stiles since their ninth-grade biology class. Carlyle's conversation with the publication shed light on an interesting connection between the two stars, who have been part of Hollywood for years.

"I've known Julia since like ninth-grade biology class," said Carlton in the exclusive interview. "So we're just living our life, man, just looking for the next exciting thing to do." The A Thousand Miles vocalist shared that although they had crossed paths at several red-carpet events over the years, their connection remained largely low-key.

However, it appears that Carlton's chance meeting with Stiles went beyond a casual encounter. The singer revealed that she and her spouse, John McCauley of Deer Tick, and Dennis Ryan Engineering had auctioned off the script of Stiles' latest directorial venture, Wish You Were Here. "We got to throw our hat in the ring with our themes, and we got the job," Carlton explained, expressing her excitement about being part of the film.

Carlton's partnership with Stiles on Wish You Were Here marked a historic occasion for both parties - the singer scoring her first film for the actress's directorial work. "It was so fabulous — our first time scoring a film," she said, praising Stiles for her exceptional directing skills. The actress had also expressed clear musical guidance to Carlton during the production.

Featuring a diverse cast including Mena Massoud, Isabelle Fuhrman, Gabby Kono-Abdy, Kelsey Grammer, and Jennifer Grey, Wish You Were Here promises to be an entertaining venture in Julia Stiles' directorial journey. It remains to be seen how this collaboration will be received by fans of both Carlton and Stiles.
