Amanda Seyfried Vanessa Kirby on Musicals, Mean Girls Pushing Their Limits, Actors on Actors

Vanessa Kirby, who played Princess Margaret on the first two seasons of Netflixs The Crown, has returned to the streaming service in the acquisition Pieces of a Woman. In the Kornél Mundruczó film, Kirby plays Martha, whose home birth ends in tragedy, upending her life. The birth scene, early in the movie, is a harrowing 24minute single take, based on the experience of Pieces of a Woman screenwriter Kata Wéber (and her partner, Mundruczó). For Amanda Seyfried, whose first film role was Karen in Mean Girls, David Finchers Mank (also on Netflix) was a dream come true, actually. In Mank, Seyfrieds Marion Davies forges a warm bond with Gary Oldmans Herman Mankiewicz but that wont stop him from betraying her as he writes Citizen Kane. Variety s Actors on Actors is presented by Amazon Studios.
