‘A Complete Unknown’ Star Monica Barbaro on Her Oscar Nom, Imposter Syndrome and Why She Had to Delete Her Social Media


The actor received her first Academy Award nomination for playing Joan Baez in the Bob Dylan biopic opposite Timothee Chalamet.

The film then landed eight Oscar nominations, including nods for writer-director James Mangold and co-stars Timothée Chalamet as Dylan and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger. Though she’s not new to acting — she was a cast member on the 2016 season of “Unreal” and made an impression in the aforementioned “Top Gun” sequel — the last few months have been a whirlwind for Barbaro, one she’s still figuring out how to navigate. It was an interesting time because Timmy and the film had so much buzz, there were people sneaking on to set and grabbing videos or crowds gathering on the street and you’d just see smartphones up.
