At the end there is a conversation between Dominique, the editor of “Frame”, and Syd, when Syd finally have decided to show her the pictures that Lucy *really* wanted to be published. And Dominique asks:”…are you her sitter?”
What does a “sitter” mean in this context? Anyone who knows?

Why is it that men are so much more interested in women than women in men?
Virginia Woolf.
she was asking if Syd was her model for the pictures.
A person who poses or models, as for a portrait.
Hi Entirely!
Thanks for your answer, and thanks also for not holding me up to ridicule for not knowing.
Have a nice day/night

Geez, and I thought Dominique was asking Syd if she were her "(baby)sitter", as in drug monitor (the person who is supposed to make sure you stay off drugs) I'm far too dark for my own good sometimes! What an amazing film! Ally Sheedy was fantastic.

Ruby I was thinking something similar to that. Sometimes it's a part of the editor's job to "sit" on the artist, or coach her, or motivate her, to make sure that she's going to meet the deadline with the desired product.
But substituting "model" for "sitter" makes more sense based on the way the editor asked the question.
I just watched a version of the film online that had German subtitles and in the translation, they used "babysitter." This definition seems to make a lot of sense too.
shareTo me it seemed like a goof of the translator. How did you find the subtitles of sycophant and Lucy's "What is a psychophant? I don't know what this is." I found that was quite brilliant.
share"sitter" in the drug sense usually means a sober person who hangs out with a person getting high, to be there for them if they have a bad trip or need medical attention.

Ha i'm probably wrong but I heard it as "suitor". Thought it was a weird word to use in that context, but it makes more sense than sitter.
