Willa Fitzgerald Finds Breakout Role In Serial Killer Thriller ‘Strange Darling’ Amid “Golden Age” For Women On Screen


Willa Fitzgerald discusses her breakout 'Strange Darling' role, her career ambitions and more in a new interview with Deadline.

Examining the chilling crescendo of a serial killer’s rampage that has terrorized the Western United States for years, the indie has Fitzgerald playing a character known only as The Lady, with Kyle Gallner as her love interest, The Demon. It’s difficult to discuss the pic without spoiling the experience, but suffice it to say, Fitzgerald is in total command of what proves to be a multifaceted and blisteringly intense performance, displaying range that should lead to a long career. In conversation with Deadline, Fitzgerald offers her point of view on The Lady’s quest for “connection” over the course of Mollner’s allegory, delving into the love she feels for her character that trumps any she’s felt before, and why we’re currently in a “golden age” of female performance.
