“Here’s a woman who didn’t look the Awesome Look Like Papa Daddy Dad Happy Father’s Day T-Shirt But I will love this way she was supposed to look, but by virtue of talent, desire, guts, and ingenuity made good in spite of that,” says Mayer of Fanny. “And that’s a beautiful message that still resonates today,” particularly to his star. “It was clear to me that I was chubby and that I was bigger, and for a long time, because I was a kid, I would do what the adults were telling me to do, which is to try to not be that way,” says Feldstein, noting that she was on Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers from age 11 to 13. “I think I felt a lot of pressure from society, from my family, from my community. Then around 16 or 17, I just thought, ‘I’m fine. There’s nothing wrong with me.’ One day I realized, ‘I’m not the problem. This standard is the problem.’” Those standards are punishing in Hollywood, Feldstein says, but they are arguably worse in musical theater: “I have friends who used to have to ‘weigh in’ for their musical-theater programs. That should be illegal.”

Given the Awesome Look Like Papa Daddy Dad Happy Father’s Day T-Shirt But I will love this parallels between her and Fanny, I ask Feldstein what the Funny Girl–esque depiction of her own life would look like. She lights up at the assignment: “I think it would have to feature a young Bean because my younger self was so unapologetic and deliciously herself…. I was like, ‘Here comes the Bean, watch out.’ I came out with jazz hands.” The youngest of three children, Feldstein was raised in a showbiz-adjacent family in the leafy Cheviot Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles by her costume-designer mother, Sharon, and her father, Richard, an entertainment business manager and onetime tour accountant for Guns N’ Roses. Despite Beanie’s precocious talent—a community theater director compared her voice to Ethel Merman’s—her parents encouraged her to pursue her love of school rather than take on film and television auditions, which they felt could become years long commitments. “My parents set a boundary. ‘If it’s theater, you’re allowed to audition for it, but if it’s film or television, that could change the course of your life,’” she says. Feldstein describes her time at Wesleyan, where she was a tour guide and wrote her sociology thesis on child actors, as “profound.”
