Queen Of The Ring director Ash Avildsen reveals how one conversation with the great Jim Ross led him to make this inspirational story about real-life women’s wrestling pioneer, Mildred Burke, and her storied life and career. He talks about casting actors like Josh Lucas, Walton Goggins, and Martin Cove alongside real wrestlers like AEW’s Toni Storm, Kamille, and Jim Cornette. He explains WWE’s initial involvement in the film, and how that fell apart at the last minute. Plus, he talks about his famous father, Oscar-nominated John Avildsen, and why he didn’t really meet him until Ash was 34-years-old! He talks about his dad casting Ralph Macchio over another A-list actor in The Karate Kid, what John believed to be the real, driving story behind Rocky, and the family philosophy behind movie-making and storytelling!
