Haley Bennett on Finally Getting ‘Widow Clicquot’ Made and Channeling Tom Cruise to Play a CIA Agent in ‘The Last Frontier’


Haley Bennett talks about starring in 'Widow Clicquot' and filming the upcoming Apple TV+ series, 'The Last Frontier.'

The Thoms Napper-directed film — based on Tilar J. Mazzeo’s New York Times bestseller “The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It” — has been in development in various stages over many years. Bennett says a period piece about a woman fighting for her own lane should resonate more than ever as Kamala Harris prepares to lead the Democratic Party in the election. (Bennett, who played JD Vance’s sister Lindsay in the movie adaptation of his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” declines to comment on the Trump-Vance ticket: “I understand why you’re asking but I just want to celebrate ‘Madame Clicquot’!”)
