Lucy Boynton reveals why her Barbie character barely has any screen time - and says that wasn't always the plan


Lucy Boynton is finally sharing what happened to her character in Greta Gerwig's Barbie film after she had only a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo.

'[It’s] a little bit of a heartbreaker that we are kind of losing touch with that history, but hopefully this will then be a trigger for people to read up on Marcel Proust,' Lucy added. Lucy's character was supposed to be from a line of dolls inspired by the works of the novelist Marcel Proust, best known for his seven-volume novel In Search Of Lost Time Gerwig previously explained to the AP that she wanted the Proust reference because the theme of a return to childhood memories in his most famous novel is also appropriate for Barbie.
