Anecdotes

Jump, Darling is a 2020 Canadian drama film directed by Phil Connell. The film stars Thomas Duplessie as Russell, a rookie drag queen reeling from a break-up, who escapes to Prince Edward County, where he finds his grandmother Margaret in steep decline yet desperate to avoid the local nursing home. The film was one of Leachman's final performances before her death in 2021.

Production

The film was supported by the Inside Out Film and Video Festival's LGBTQ Finance Forum in 2017, and Leachman's casting was announced in 2019. The film was also supported by Telefilm Canada's Talent to Watch program for emerging filmmakers, and will be distributed in Canada by LevelFILM.

The film inspired in part by Connell's conversations with his own grandmother, who went through declining health in the early 2010s before her death. He has indicated that the film is not meant to be understood as autobiographical, although he has acknowledged parallels between Russell's efforts to establish himself as a drag artist and his own status as an emerging LGBTQ filmmaker.

The film was shot in 2019, primarily in Prince Edward County with some followup shooting in Toronto. While in Toronto, Leachman and her daughter spent some time out on Church Street during the Pride Toronto festivities.

Following production on the film, Duplessie and Connell began dating.
