How ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Star Cara Jade Myers Ensured Anna Wasn’t a Caricature: ‘I Wasn’t Playing the Alcholism. I Was Playing the Pain’
'Killers of the Flower Moon' star Cara Jade Myers talks her breakout role as Anna in Martin Scorsese's latest film.
When the call went out for “ Killers of the Flower Moon,” Cara Jade Myers first read for the part of Rita and then for her sister Mollie, the focus of the film.
