Kathryn Gallagher stars alongside Anna Kendrick in the new Netflix movie Woman of the Hour and she also wrote a song for the film!
The Grammy-winning and Tony-nominated actress penned the song “The Sweetest Song” for the movie, which is now streaming.
Woman of the Hour, which marks Anna‘s directorial debut, tells the stranger-than-fiction story of an aspiring actress in 1970s Los Angeles and a serial killer in the midst of a yearslong murder spree, whose lives intersect when they’re cast on an episode of The Dating Game.
In a recent interview, Kathryn explains how the song came to be!

“You hear a little tidbit of a song I wrote. When we were filming it, I actually sang a different song that we couldn’t clear. So Anna called me about a year later, like right before we were going into ADR, and she was like, ‘Hey, I know you write songs. Can you write like 10 seconds? Like it can be oohs, just like 10 seconds and that’s it,’” she explained on New York Live.
Kathryn added, “And I woke up in the morning and, you know, why do when you can overdo. And I wrote a full song. I sent her this voice note and I was like, ‘I’m so sorry, I did too much. But I hope you like it. Maybe it’s terrible. Bye.’ And she liked it. And so you hear a little bit of that and maybe a little bit of the whole thing at some point.”
