As kids, the two siblings starred in "A Dangerous Woman," which was directed by their father. With their mom, the pair were on two episodes of "Molto Mario," an Italian cooking show on the Food Network.
But perhaps their best-known collaboration was in "Donnie Darko," where they play siblings. Director Richard Kelly told Vox they had to convince Maggie that the role was meant for her.
"Immediately, she was like, Richard, you're only offering this to me because I'm Jake's big sister. You should be finding the best actress for the role," Kelly said. "So she was already trying to talk me out of casting her, in a very selfless way. And I was just really impressed by that ... So I was really determined to convince her to do it after that."
He added that casting her helped cement the sibling dynamic on-screen.
"Maggie was really an essential piece of the puzzle that makes that family dynamic work in the film," he said. "I'm grateful that she agreed to do the role."
