"It seems now so strange that anyone could want to derail a woman who's determined and has a joy and a passion and wants to do this thing. I think that's what I loved most about playing Trudy, is there's so much joy. There's so much joy in her, and I also wanted to make sure that we were telling a story about someone that simply wanted to do something! She wasn't thinking about her impact on the world; she just loved swimming. I didn't want to give that any other reasoning except for her own want. That joy was great, because I haven't played that as much in the roles that I've done before."

—Daisy Ridley about playing Trudy in Young Woman and the Sea

Notes: Not all of the films on this non-exhaustive list are entirely “about” the lives of their respective writers to a tee. I cannot vouch for the accuracy or quality of all of these movies. I’ve only seen about 75% of these films personally. And yes, I know this list is very Westernized – I’m working on it.
