She liked photography, designing clothes, painting, writing
There are other similarities to her real life: many say the flashy photographer who is married to Johansson's unhappy character bears a resemblance to Coppola's soon-to-be ex-husband, Spike Jonze â€â€? the director of "Adaptation" and "Being John Malkovich "
Critics loved it â€â€? a sharp turnaround from 14 years ago, when the teenager filled in for last-minute dropout Winona Ryder as Al Pacino's daughter in "The Godfather: Part III
"She went to another country, with only a handful of people who spoke her language and produced what I think is a unique film that will last a long, long time," Murray said from a Rome movie shoot via a video presentation at the Directors Guild Awards
But a few years ago all her passions coalesced and she joined the family business as a filmmaker
Sofia once worried that she dabbled too much "
Murray doesn't return most phone calls, has shirked most of his agents and managers, and is notoriously difficult to pin down to a project "I wrote it with Bill Murray in mind, and I wasn't going to make the movie without him But Coppola managed to convince him
She now has a handful of Oscar nominations for "Lost in Translation," her sophomore feature-film effort, with bids for best director (making her the first American woman nominated in the category, and only the third ever) best picture and best original screenplay "
In person, Sofia Coppola is as polite, pensive and unpolished as the lonely American played by Scarlett Johansson in "Lost in Translation," who strikes up a reluctantly platonic romance with an older fellow stranger â€â€? the aging, dejected actor played by Murray
"I'd been thinking about it for a couple of years, how to articulate it, and then after I wrote the script we made it in a year," she said
While Coppola acknowledged that real people and events are the genesis for some of her story ideas, she said most of what's onscreen is from her imagination Star Bill Murray is a contender for lead actor "
With help from her father as producer, she turned that story of five doomed sisters into her directorial feature debut in 1999 But it was just hard to track him down because he's very elusive " They were married for four years, but filed for divorce about three months ago
"Being around him, seeing him working â€â€? it looked like fun, it looked exciting," Coppola, who traveled the world with her family to exotic locations for "Apocalypse Now" and "The Godfather" films, told AP a few weeks before the Oscars
As she embarks on her next film, her dad hopes to be along for the ride, whether as a producer again or just a proud papa "Then I want to get back to writing "
But later, when the strangers dissipate and she's left with mostly family and friends, her shyness fades and she steps onto a small stage to sing a karaoke version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Give it Away But it's pretty overwhelming because I wasn't expecting any of this "I'm trying to enjoy this whole part of it and then take this part of it in," she says during this awkward phase of the night She even overcame her intense camera shyness to try acting in "The Godfather: Part III" â€â€? not that her uneasiness wasn't obvious
"All the kids were encouraged by my wife and myself to have artistic interests
She first tested her directorial instincts with the 1998 short film "Lick the Star," about an unhappy 7th-grade girl, and soon after adapted a screenplay out of Jeffrey Eugenides' book "The Virgin Suicides "
With "this," she gestures to a crowd of friends, supporters and admirers at a party in the ritzy Los Angeles sushi restaurant Koi to celebrate the DVD release of "Lost in Translation "But she always takes whatever I may offer and makes it her own "
Coppola squirms a lot, and seems uncomfortable with attention
Although she never took another major role, Sofia did a brief turn as a mistress in 2001's "CQ," a sci-fi movie send-up written and directed by her brother, Roman )
"Lost in Translation" evolved from her time living in Tokyo while launching the hipster fashion line MilkFed in the 1990s
"I'm sure she'll be interested in my two cents," he said "
She was scourged by reviewers for her stiff performance, but now describes it as a painful but half-remembered experience (Another brother, Gian-Carlo, died in a boating accident in 1986 When Coppola was growing up, creativity was practically a household chore Sofia Coppola Looks to Make Oscar History
Feb 28, 8:08 AM EST
Sofia Coppola, nominated in three categories, seeks to be the first American woman ever to win the Academy Award for best director at Sunday's ceremony We had summer creativity camp in which they would all do one-act plays or do various projects and endeavors," her father, Francis Ford Coppola, the Oscar-winning director of "The Godfather" films, told The Associated Press "I can't imagine anything more interesting than making a movie
The 32-year-old with the crooked smile and withdrawn mannerisms has a vastly different behind-the-camera style than her father, more intimate and comedic and less epic and moody, but still credits him with inspiring her
Murray â€â€? who subscribes to the philosophy if you don't have anything nice to say, speak your mind anyway â€â€? has delivered uncharacteristic flattery toward Coppola throughout awards season, describing her as gutsy and innovative
