She went to Vogue to get her bones as a writer, and they gave her that.” Almost in her eighties, Didion’s audience has never been larger, her legacy more significant, her stories more relevant. “As fashionable as she was in her own personal style, she was not somebody who was following designers. “She is an essayist but she is also a journalist who writes under a deadline,” Dunne said. The film will also detail Didion’s career at Vogue, whose editorial staff she joined in 1956, the same year she graduated from Berkeley, after winning an essay contest sponsored by the magazine. “The narration is already written because Joan has been writing it since she was a little girl.” Moving chronologically, the documentary will weave news accounts and supplementary interviews with Didion’s writing and her own remembrances, to tell the story of both her life and of the many vital works of journalism and fiction she has given her readers. “The film will be very visual by using her prose,” Dunne told.
