How did you go about getting ready to play Chloe? Did you meet her, and did you’ve entry to psychologists or police sources associated to her case?
I watched each single TV look Chloe made, and I additionally watched some police movies that I used to be given entry to, together with one the place she went again to the farmhouse the place she was held captive, and that was actually informative. We then recreated that video within the sequence.

However we additionally had conversations about her favorite music, her favorite biscuit, the place she likes to do her buying. And all of these issues added simply as a lot to the efficiency as discovering out what occurred to her on the time.
What’s so nice about Chloe is that she does not need to be outlined completely by what occurred to her. So with the ability to discuss to her about issues exterior of that was so nice. And it actually allowed me to leap into the character with nothing held again.
The sequence additionally attracts on how Chloe’s job as a glamour mannequin made some individuals query her story, in addition to how she reacted to her trauma – what do you hope it does for conversations round victimhood and believing girls particularly?
