Catching Up With Cailee Spaeny, The Breakout Star of "Mare of Easttown”

At just 18-years-old, actress Cailee Spaeny landed her first role in Pacific Rim: Uprising after winning a nationwide talent search. At the time, Cailee and her mom would routinely make a 25-hour drive from their home in Springfield, Missouri to Los Angeles for auditions with their hearts set on making it in Hollywood. Four years later, she’s starred in The Craft: Legacy, Mimi Leder’s On the Basis of Sex, and her latest role is playing Erin McMenamin in HBO’s latest murder mystery series Mare of Easttown alongside Kate Winslett. In this episode, we sat down with the rising star to talk about going from a small town to reaching big city dreams, navigating Hollywood at a young age, and how she prepared for the challenging role of playing a teen mom in Mare of Easttown. Plus, she gives us some behind-the-scenes of filming the show, from meeting Kate for the first time to her acting process.    Follow Cailee on Instagram here https://www.instagram.com/caileespaeny/?hl=en   Watch Mare of Easttown here  https://www.hbo.com/mare-of-easttown   Loved this episode?
