Lionsgate’s Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.

Judy Blume and Kelly Fremon Craig in Conversation with GMA’s Eva Pilgrim

Apr 24, 2023


At last! The legendary and beloved Judy Blume joins us with acclaimed writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig for a conversation about the film millions have been waiting for, based on Blume’s iconic book Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. Blume’s trailblazing books (90 million copies sold) dared to address the taboos of puberty and budding sexuality and have made her a funny, honest, pitch perfect voice for adolescents for five decades. Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret. follows the story of 11-year-old Margaret Simon, uprooted from NYC for the suburbs of New Jersey, and experiencing the mortifying throes of puberty with new friends in a new school. Blume and Craig (The Edge of Seventeen) join us just days ahead of the film’s eagerly awaited theatrical release to talk about why it took 50 years to bring the book to the screen, what makes Margaret (“almost twelve and full of questions”) so relatable, and the power of Blume's story to continue to speak to and connect generations.
