Do you have any other characters that you've played that you feel particularly close to or you'd want to revisit at some point?
I played a character called Thea Raphael in "Find Me in Paris," which was the kid show that I started on, and we did three seasons of that. I feel like I spent the most time with her and loved her. I'm really grateful for that job because it was the job that set everything off. I spent the most time in her space and she's sassy and a high school know-it-all and it's really fun to click into that and have fun and then come home afterwards. Probably her, but all of the characters.
I also wanted to know what your experience was like on the set of "Eternals," a huge movie, blockbuster. Any memorable moments?
That's insane to even think about. It was so crazy. When I auditioned for it, I didn't know what I was auditioning for. They were like, "Can you look over there, but look worried and we can't tell you why." There was a lot of, "We can't tell you why, but can you do this and this?" Six months later, something insane, I found out that I'd booked it and what I'd booked. It was a really long time after.
I was able to go to the table read, which was the most bizarre experience in my whole entire life. I was sat there in this room with amazing people. So bizarre. It was really cool to be on that set and for myself, as well, to know, "Okay. Right. You can do this thing." It was really scary and really intimidating, but we got through that day. That's a good thing for me to know that I can hold my own. [I was] really grateful for that job.
You've appeared in a lot of TV shows and some film — do you want to do more film? Do you want to stay a little bit more in television or get something consistent going? What's your goal?
I would love to do film. There's something really lovely in [how] you finish the story after the film, which is lovely. I would love to go into film, but I'm still at that stage where I'm so grateful for any job. Any booking that I get, I'm like, "Thank you so much for having me." My goal is to keep working at this point, and to work, like I said, in a range of different roles and keep learning from different people and work on different sets because that's important, as well.
That sounds like a great goal. Do you have anything else that you'd think that viewers should know going into "Flowers in the Attic," besides the big old disclaimer, or anything you wish we'd covered or talked about more?
There's a lot more to come. There's only been two episodes that have come out so far. I feel like in Episode 3, things really kick off for a lot of the Foxworths. There's a few more twists and turns that will happen, and I hope people will enjoy.
Part 3 of "Flowers in the Attic: The Origin" premieres Saturday, July 23 at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime. Parts 1 and 2 are available to watch on the Lifetime website.
