DEADLINE: Whats it like for you, with the film now out in the world?
Willa Fitzgerald in ‘Strange Darling’Magenta Light Studios
Have you sensed the buzz around it?
In L.A. at least, its been a little tricky to get tickets.
WILLA FITZGERALD: Is that true?
I didnt even know that.
DEADLINE: What has the role of The Lady given you that no other has?
Id never seen a character like that before.
And thats what I find most exciting as an actor.
Was there anything that scared you about your role?
When I read the script for the first time, I felt kind of sick.
I feel like it exceeds the amount of love Ive ever had for any character.
DEADLINE: What do you think it is that makes The Lady and The Demon perfectly matched?
FITZGERALD: I love that question.
I think I probably wrote in my script a million times, Hes the one.
FITZGERALD: I dont think shes a psychopath at all.
DEADLINE: Whats your take on the ideas Mollner is interrogating here?
And I think Ive told you some of that.
But whats really exciting to me is seeing how everyone else is interpreting it.
DEADLINE: You mentioned earlier that theres a lot of opportunity these days for female actors.
What do you think the proliferation of these kinds of stories says about our culture now?
DEADLINE: What are your career goals?
Do you have any bucket list aspirations?
FITZGERALD: I think what Im always most drawn to is something that feels new to me.
Obviously, theres no new songs, theres no new movies.
Everything is somehow related to something youve probably seen before.
Thats always what Im seeking out, is something that feels like new territory to explore.
But yeah, no.
Im open to whatever it is that feels new.
