Local Newswire Style Rookie Tavi Gevinson starring in animated short, singing Neil Young

Suburban ingenue Tavi Gevinson’s fashion career continues to gain momentum, a fact made all the more jealousy-inducing considering she’s 15 years old. Now, the Rookie founder and blogger is popping up in a new short film with Kathy Bates and Christopher Lloyd. “Cadaver” is an animated short by Jonah D. Ansell that stars the mini-mogul as a medical student who, while dissecting a cadaver, haves it come to life again.

Gevinson also covers Neil Young’s “Heart Of Gold” for the film, a fact made, again, even more jealousy-inducing by Young’ notoriously stingy reputation with song rights. He reportedly gave the teenager permission for this cover personally. There’s a clip of the song in the trailer below—and hey, it’s not half bad.
