Odessa Azion wants to give a piece of her heart to certain musicians by playing them on the big screen.
The “Marty Supreme” star professed his admiration for Janis Joplin while speaking with Page Six at the Gotham Television Awards in New York City on Monday.
Azion talked about his tattoo collection and said he has a tattoo of the “Me and Bobby McGee” singer on his arm.
Azion, 25, revealed that it was her “dream” to play the fiery blues singer who died of a heroin overdose in 1970 at the age of 27.
“Let’s get it out there! Page Six is going to make this happen!” we optimistically declared, and Azion replied, “Here we go, Page Six!”
The actress agreed it’s been quite a whirlwind few months since starring in the critically acclaimed HBO series “I Love LA” and the Oscar-nominated film “Marty Supreme,” both of which are due out in late 2025.
“It’s weird that there’s a show and a movie back to back,” said Azion, daughter of actress Pamela Adlon.
“I was like, ‘Okay, here we go!'” she recalled. “But it was so cool how different they were. They were so different and it was a comedy, but also a completely different drama.”
Azion appeared on the red carpet with his I Love LA co-star Rachel Sennott, who lived in New York before moving to Los Angeles.
Sennott admitted he wasn’t prepared for the show he created, wrote and starred in to blow up like this.
“I was just focused on the experience of making it,” she said. “I think the cast felt like lightning in a bottle. That was really special to me. But it was really special to see people love the show and talk about it and make it their own.”
The ‘Shiva Baby’ star admitted that what she misses most after moving across the country is her friends.
“I see my best friends who live here a lot, and that’s what I miss the most,” she said of returning to the Big Apple for the Gotham Television Awards.
At the awards ceremony, “I Love LA” won the Breakthrough Comedy Series Award.
