Sevigny, Taking Fate Into Her Own Hands - washingtonpost.com: Some girls can go their whole lives without much happening to them. What they probably don't realize is that the extraordinary things that never happen to them are all happening, instead, to Chloe Sevigny:
She lingers by a Manhattan newsstand as a teenager and is asked to appear in a television broadcast. The broadcast's reporter happens to be a magazine editor of Sassy right? who hires Sevigny to work as an intern and model. A couple of years later, when she moves to the city and starts going clubbing, a guy named Jay McInerney takes notice and proceeds to write a seven-page story in the New Yorker anointing her the Coolest Kid in the World. She skips college, becomes a skateboard groupie and finds herself in the same circle as Harmony Korine. He writes a parental heart attack of a flick called "Kids" and helps cast Sevigny, then with a nonexistent acting résumé, as the movie's HIV-infected heroine. Over the next decade, she becomes a thrift-store fashion muse, a reluctant hipster deity and performer of the world's second-most famous act of fellatio.
