CAROLE BETHUEL/NETFLIX © 2020 The daughter of musician Phil Collins told PEOPLE last September that she was most excited to work with Star, who's known for creating such TV hits as Beverly Hills, 90210, Sex and the City and Younger. "I grew up watching his shows, and I just thought this is something I have to go for," Collins said at the time. "I was so willing to do whatever it took. I was like, 'Just give me a shot!'" "Emily deeply resonated with me," she added. "She's a go-getter. She's skilled. She doesn't take herself too seriously. She's all these things that women and men, whatever generation, can relate to." The Mank actress has otherwise been enjoying lockdown with fiancé Charlie McDowell. "It's definitely been a series of highs and lows," Collins told PEOPLE. "But if I can be in a room with no distractions with the people that I love and have a moment when I can laugh, that's when I'm happiest." Collins and the TV writer/director, 37, announced their engagement on Instagram in September, a year after they made their relationship Instagram official. "I've been waiting my lifetime for you and I can't wait to spend our lifetime together..." she wrote.
