'Deep Cuts' book cover and Gloria Calderon Kellett Courtesy Editor’s note: The casting of I Love LA co-star and Marty Supreme breakout Odessa A’Zion as Zoe Gutierrez in the A24 adaptation of Holly Brickley’s Deep Cuts triggered backlash online as the character is written as a Jewish woman of Mexican heritage in the 2021 novel. A’Zion, who is Jewish, exited the film on Wednesday, admitting she had accepted the role without having read the book and agreeing with the criticism over the casting. Gloria Calderon Kellett is a veteran TV writer-producer who was co-creator, executive producer and co-showrunner on Netflix’s One Day at a Time reboot.
