Who are the most famous sinners in history?
The film, regarded as one of the best dramas of 2010, was directed by Baumbach, and both Gerwig and Leigh were in the cast, alongside one of Baumbach's favorites, Ben Stiller.
Gerwig told The New Yorker that after working on 'Greenberg,' she and Baumbach had talked about working together again with him directing and her as an actor.
While filming her directorial debut 'Lady Bird,' Gerwig told Entertainment Weekly, she would consult with Baumbach on "nerdy inside-baseball stuff" like certain cuts and things that "really only other directors know."
Gerwig was supposed to star in the film but was forced to withdraw because of a scheduling conflict.
Leigh has said that her roles in his films were not specifically written for her, as she explained Baumbach does not like to write roles with actors in mind.
Baumbach created an HBO pilot based on Jonathan Franzen's novel, but it was canceled in 2012. He later said that when he asked Gerwig how he could have got it wrong, she responded, "You don't really watch TV," and he replied, "You're right."
The power couple really hit their stride in 2019 with Baumbach's 'Marriage Story' and Gerwig's 'Little Women.' They were both critically acclaimed and featured heavily on the awards circuit.
In a joint interview, they made it clear that their romance began after Baumbach's marriage was over.
But, the New Yorker reports, it actually didn't work at first, and Gerwig started a relationship with someone else.
Through the writing process, they both became attached to this endearing, strange, wonderful character, and became protective of her. "Even though it's a small scope, it is a hero's journey." Gerwig said.
Gerwig described their work together as similar to being in a band: "I'm certainly not comparing myself to Lennon and McCartney, but they wrote great stuff on their own, and when they wrote together they made something greater than the sum of its parts."
They've always largely portrayed their relationship as professional, and even in a 2018 interview with the Guardian, Gerwig only referred to her partner with a formal "Baumbach" or "Noah Baumbach."
This power couple's relationship surpasses a decade, yet they've managed to keep their personal lives relatively secret. The intimacies of their own love story have, however, inevitably made their way into their brilliant films.
While accepting her Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay in 2018, Gerwig forgot to thank Baumbach in her speech, but she told 'The View' that he wasn't upset.
Gerwig and Baumbach are killing it in every possible way, yet they don't flaunt their success like many Hollywood "it" couples do. Somehow, they've managed to reach the top while staying down to earth.
